What an inept half Hougaard played against the ABs, culminating in the decision to pass blindside vs reversing the flow at the end. Other passes bounced around on the deck...others just weren't crisp.
His box kicks actually weren't that bad insofar as they went....but often the pass was the better option....often there was no credible chase loaded. They tended to be just kicks feeding the AB machine.
There is no reason Hougaard shouldn't be a fine test scrummie, except what goes on between his ears. He looks like a robot when we need a decision maker.
