Mozart

Start thinking why mauls went out of the window as a strategy of the Springboks since 2014,  That was what was the topic I raised.  I gave my own version of how I saw the problem and indicated clearly why I think the problems  start at 5 selections.

Sure I raised the issue of Matfield and Mostert - because they were the no 5's when the problem was most pronounced.

Now you comment on 2 - I never switched to anything - I tried to point out that you were totally wrong about the penalty issue - in fact it was a bad misinterpretation.   

As to 3 I explained in some detail why Mostert cannot be the basis in setting up the forming of mauls.   It went straight over your head and your comment did not deal with the starting procedure in forming of mauls.   Both Matfield after 2014 was and Mostert at present is physically not strong enough to start the process of creating a basis for a maul.

In the case of the 4th point - have you any proo f of what you write now or is it just another escape mechanism.   

One would expect an intelligent analysis not a grossly inappropriate effort at pretending that it is not a problem and coming up with totally farcical comments.

Try again - the above is clearly not sufficient.
