Jacque Fourie Tribute

 Just one question - could you find nothing since 2009?   From what I have seen during the past few tests - his defence is still solid - but he has lost the plot completely insofar as attacking play is concerned.   I am also not happy with another aspect of his recent games - he gives away too many penalties.   That is normally an aspect stemming from the need to cover up deficiencies in their games.  

Despite the tribute - I do not think his selection has solved our problems at 13.   I think that Fourie has gone backwards since 2009 - older players often do - and playing touch rugby in Japan contributed to that.   If players like Davies ran around him with ease - what is going to happen to his defence against other faster and better centres he will have to face in future?   

Fourie was damn good in his day, now he is an old donkey who does not have a hope in hell of making an impression at test level. 

It cannot possibly get worse than gaining all of 13m in 3 tests........that is insulting for a test 13
