A draw is an improvement on the performance last year - but it should have been awin if

The waste of talent was not in the face of the Springboks.  Lets firwt look at the rating of the players as I see uit:-
Andries Coetzee  -   6Raymiond Rhule  -   4Jesse Kriel          -   6Jan Serfontein    -    6Courtnal Skosan -   4Elton Jantjies     =   4Ross Cronje       =   5Uzair Cassiem   =    3Jaco Kriel          =    6Siya Kolisi         =    6P-S du Toit        =   8Eben Etzebeth    =   6Coenie Ootshuizen =  7Malcolm Marx        =  7Tendai Mtawarira   =  5
Kitshoff is the only bench player to be rated - a 7 without any question marks.
I think that Skosan deserves further chance despite his weakness under high balls.  Rhule was on the field and that as near as bugger-all during the game.   A call-up to Combrinck is an essential.   The kicking game poorly executed was too evident and that led to constant disaster for the Springboks.
Did Cassiem in fact play?  He must have been - but vanished from sight and I can say he did play because the only time he touched the ball he knocked it on.   Time for an emergency call-up to Coetzee to come to the aid of the team.




The centers were iffy and that could be improved - I would think of Van Rensburg as Vorster as options.    However that is very unlikely to happen.
Jantjies and Cronje played a stupid game.  they comnstamntly kicked balls straight at Folau - - the best high ball player in the world.   Jantjies also made a horrible mistake - not finding touch with a penalty kick at line.
