If you had more backs like Habana the Boks would indeed be the complete team, to me it seems the back skills are ignored to focus on forward domination. The imagined AB fear is more a bok fan hope cause the AB's win consistently With the bok fans there is this always eternal hope that the next game will be the one where they win against the AB's, it's a world of could've, should've and might've that rarely eventuates.
As a die hard Bok supporter i could not agree more. I have eebn saying all along we are boring and predicable. We aimlessly kick away possesion, our backs run no cross lines, our forwards fall to the ground before they are tackled and we are outright predicable. Probably because we have, the dim wit, Saffex as coach.
