So, my biggest gripe over the years since Rassie took over was that he could never get past 7 winning games in a row. He constantly rotates his starting team and you never see a complete performance. To some it is pure luck and to other there is a method to his madness.

The last time Rassie lost was against the All Blacks.

Since then his team responded with a record score against New Zealand in Wellington. Inflicting the worst defeat the all blacks ever experienced.

Rassie team went on to smash France and Ireland at home and then in his most recent matches destroyed England. Shutting then up once and for all after they took felt they could beat the boks after their winning run of 11 games.

This season we have seen practically 3 teams go out and play for the boks. Some fringe players like Horn who's lions did okay and achieved their best log finish, 7, but could not beat Leinster and you could see the gap.

Where as the sharks , bulls and Stormer completely collapsed.

Yet, Rassie is able to bring the best out of the players and we are seeing him role the dice on a number of young players that never gets featured for their winning unions.

As much as I hate some of our performances and constantly at odds with what he some his choices and team performances.

My only hope is that we can reach the world record of most consecutive wins in a row and take 3rd world cup in a row.

But the next 5 test won't be easy.

Good luck Rassie, we are behind you
