Barrett would have stopped Horne

After Morne missed touch, the 14 weary Boks finally broke. Morne rushed across to make the crucial tackle on Horne that could have saved his blushes. But as is mostly the case, he over committed and Horne stepped inside Steyn into the gap between him and the trailing Marcel.

If Morne had watched Barrett vs Folau two weeks before, he would have seen the AB slow down, giving only the outside to Folau. It was a brilliant open field tackle. To be fair Barrett is faster than most wings, so conceding the outside is less scary. But Morne clearly overcommitted as players almost inevitably do in covering.

Barrett's tackle was a masterpiece of cover defending.

So the poor line kick got a partial mention - no mention of the fact that the kick was a penalty kick and a relieving one as well.  There is no mention of the fact that Habana was off the field as a result of a yellow card and his return would have strengthen  the defense should the kick have found touch.   That is the crux of  what I said - hide the real facts otherwise Morne Steyn would look too bad.

That type of thing is to be compared to the lies you come up with when you can get at your per hate players.  Then you invent things to make them look bad.       

This  is  just another example of  a typical match distortion by you and the cover-up is typical of your normal contributions on site.   You  actually tried often enough to promote Morne  sub sequently  and find often mythical reasons to attack Lambie,  Goosen  and many  other players for much less  mistakes than that made by Morne – even  to the extent that you invented lies to do so,

Anyway – ever since you started with the personal  pervert attacks on me purely because I preferred younger players to the over-the-hill players you supported and without any proof whatsoever,  I have struggled to find expressions describing you as the real low life thing you are,   It is difficult to find such  descriptions to match your really despicable character,

If Barrett was on your team you may well have won another RWC.

To make a difference to the outcome of the RWC semi, Barrett would have to be used as a proper flyhalf and not Burger as stand-in flyhalf with Barrett's role being restricted to do some line and goal kicking.   .

The so-called game plan of Meyer for the RWC was such that the flyhalf just became a tackling dummy - nothing else.   

Even the best ever flyhalf in the world could not play a game where backline values were deliberately reduced to zero as far as attacking play is concerned.

Probably would need the right conditions to flourish but then again one of those thread-the-needle runs from Barrett and who knows ?
