Etzebeth

Matfield has been far more effective than Etzebeth. Much higher work rate. More tackles and more carries. More Lineout takes, more kick off takes.  Matfield gets involved as a link player. The Australians were trying to make every lineout a quick lineout, to avoid having to go up against Matfield.
As with the SuperXV, Matfield regulary finds himself in the team of the week- by various media publications.
Etzebeth typically only gets the ball in a stationary position, instead of in front of them to run onto. 
I dont understand why the forwards do not stand a couple of metres deeper and run onto the ball at speed. 
Hougaard also has a poor pass and passes directly to the stationary player. 
Schalk, Bismaark and Vermuelen were the only forwards dominating the advantage line.
If Ezetebeth does not up his game he find himself on the bench

 Etzabeth is still not playing at his best. He was dominant before the injury.

 Matfield has not been better than Etzebeth. Matfield does not carry at all he can't. 

Shark is right....Matfield has been our best lock.  

 id still want an off peak etsebeth before useless shit flippie or oversized tween de Jager !

 Matfield has been a liability, Shark gets stuff all right,  shit the twit wants Vic at 7 that's almost as bad as your Cilliers at 3
Chip chip you should catch a wake up re Lood. ...its showing up your rugby ignorance

Hell Chippo there is no comparison....Etzebeth is a test lock.....Lomp is just another Dave failure. Hell he wanted some oke called Quince who is picking up splinters somewhere in Ireland. A sour situation.

 @saf
mate its all a matter of opinion.
To be fair, i dont mind lood... he has impressed in the past, but his last 3 outings have been below par.
If he picks his work rate up to what it was when he made his debut, then bring him on!

but you dont need to question my rugby knowledge just cos i have a different opinion brother. lets be adults here and have a normal conversation without insulting.

lady elizabeth has been well below par in 2014, but none of us should be surprised, as his first game back in 2014 was a Bok test, o_O

players who have been away for lenghty periods need low level games to ease them back into the swing things, a boost more for the sake of the players mental welfare.

i predict that come the EOYT lady elizabeth will be back to his monster best, and all the clean ankle tackles in the world isnt going to change that.

and saffex is correct regarding lood, in all honesty lood would have made the Boks team in 2012 if not for meyers trademark incompetence.

i cant believe i raved about meyers Boksucker coaching selection as a master stroke, i guess liike the All Blacks even im bound to get one wrong every 3 years aye???

 Sushi you can now see how Etz is going to play in 2015... maybe I should try some of that raw squid.
