i stayed awake to look at the Blitzbokke performances in the USA and was severely disappointed.   The team was out of depth and their defense was scrappy at the best of times.    The problem is there are really too many light weight players in the squad and the stronger players just ran over them.   Fact is that Argentina's win  was no surprise  and I am afraid they will have to look at the squad.   There are way too many players in the squad  with the same abiolities and deficiencies to make for a balance3d squad.

Maaik, we normally punch way above our weight...bad luck and a bit of panic.

Draad what Mike is saying is true. Our guys get outgunned. 

I saw them getting man handled by Keya and were lucky to win. 

Loosing the likes of Werner, Seabelo, Kwagga also hasn't helped.

That Marcos Monetsa (sp) looked lightning fast…..a future Bargie left wing? Too many small dodgy players in the Blits team…not enough bulk, not enough speed.

I did not plagiarize anything of yours - sorry  Did not see your post and did not even look at the Argentina game, so what I thought was what was originally the impression I fgained from the other  games I did watch.
