The argument for there not being enough space is the pinnacle of idiocy amongst the SA rugby community seeing as your centres are supposed to create that space, especially 12! We don't like centres who can pass, we don't like centres who can run any useful lines. Just dumb head on running or deer-in-headlights frantic scrambles from 10, 13 annd 15 into dead-ends.
The saddest part, Esterhuizen is a better distributor than anything New Zealand and Australia have right now. He outplayed Damian under Josè even though Jose only opened the playbook for Dumbian, and out the ball in his hands. When it comes to attack analytics and the backs, Josè is actually a very stupid man.
Well Augie, there certainly isn’t enough space if you insist on running into people!
Esterhuizen was dropped by Erasmus from contention based on performances nothing else - and the guy came short - end of story. No amount of fictitious drivel will change that fact.
Kerevi has splattered Dud in the past….I hope things go better on Saturday.
"lack of space for centres or the impressions they make"
SPACE CREATION BY CENTRES
Apparently the lack of space applies only to South African centres…even the Lions in the guise of Henshaw found space .
Nope Kerevi was much more imaginative than Dud ever is….he owns Dud.
Damian gets bettered in every test. Fortunately for Dumbian, the Plastiks and the media are even dumber than him.
Dumbian flubbed every interaction with Am and the outside backs in every good attacking situation. He is the least usable back in the competition. But that's how Josè the team killer likes it: Dumb, Predictable, untalented and heaviness without strength.
Kerevi more imaginative than DA - that’s a joke
Name one creative thing that Damian does. Not his offload game in 2015 that is now part of history. Name one creative thing that 2021 Damian does.
Dumbian did pull off that amazing flipper pass behind Am's head with a burst through to the tryline begging.
Well Kerevi offloaded 3 times against NZ. The last time Dud did that was when he was aping SBW in 2015.
Well, we have centres who can actually read play and distribute. Run smart lines. Players who generate momentum, who open up space. Dumbian does none of these things. Too unskilled to let go of the ball (thankfully those thoughtless squirts you called offloads earlier in his career are gone), and not physical enough to really open up the opposition. No powerback, especially 12, ever gets dumped in several consecutive tests.
