Pollard was great against Scotland, but has been poor in his 2 games against Argentina. Morne has been better in these 2 games, but I think Meyer should have given Pollard more time in the position.

Morne is a match loser - just look at the games he played in 2012 aad 2013  in the CR.It will be a seriou mistake by Meyer to bring him into the team - he is going to lose the game foor the Springboks with his aimless kicks.

 SA has a big problem, M. Steyn is the only option they have to play at 10.
Pollard is very green yet, he made a lot of mistakes against the Pumas. Against the scottish he just did his job but it was a Scotland B side!!!!! Now we are talking about playing against the wallies and the AB.
Lambie has failed everytime he played for the boks.
Goosen was a great prospect. He had the skills to be a very good flyhalf at test level and I would have bet for being him the bok incumbent flyhalf. His first SR season was huge but injuries have made him afraid of contact. Now he restrict himself to pass or kick the ball once it's in his hands.
Boshoff is a very good kicker, probably the best boot at this moment. But has he anything else? I wouldn't risk playing him now, he has no experience.
So the only option left is Steyn, liked or not.

Francois Steyn won  8 of 9 S15 matches at 10...including all but one of the Sharks matches down under. Jake could have built Steyn up at 10, but kept positioning him as a temporary measure. Desperately disappointing for Bok rugby.

 He did not win the matches - the Sharks manage to win despite the handicap they had at flyhalf.   His stats and actual performances will confirm that.

 Clueless Meyer continues his destructive March forward - what a predictable idiot.
Wonder what the fool is going to do after we lose to oz with a usel ess pivot

 No the record when he wasn't at flyhalf was dismal...Sharks win 87.5 per cent with Frans at 10... They win 60 per cent with Lambie/Swiel/Zelinga.....even though those were easier matches. It's beyond reasonable doubt...Frans at 10 helps the Sharks to win.

 Frans at 10 had nothing to do with the sharks winning for as much as I am a huge frans fan he was pretty bloody ordinary at 10 all season for the simple reason he is not a 10.
The sharks started losing when joke changed the tactics to the pathetic bok model - the kick and chase

You have to have a Plan B with both your tactics and your players. You can't just have one Fly Half going into a RWC year.........
