Morne just saved Coetzee's neck- with a reliable kicking game.
Once Morne got back on his saddle he killed the game as any form of a spectacle- but a win is better than a loss.
Jantjies is now toast- just like he was when he played at the Stormers with Tootsie Coetzee.
Our coaches can make a game plan with Morne Steyn- because is so predictable- that at least he is consistent.
If Morne could also run with the ball in hand- he could have been a good flyhalf. He is the only flyhalf that walks when trying to go into space.

Sharkbok what Morne doesnt.do is attack the line. Hence Faf would be a better partner.

A calm head and reliable (ish) boot outside him could be just what he needs.

Hey Shark ... glad for you bro.
De Jongh got the defensive lines in place and even though they spent most of the match in their own half defending ... they only let one through. All you guys needed was a few visits to the oppositions half for Morne to slot his kicks.
Why attack the line when all you need is good old Morne and his reliable boot ... right?
Coetzee has no doubt found his game plan template and we can expect to see a lot more of Morne.

The Boks won the game mostly because of the two drop goals of Morne.
Coetzee saw his golden opportunity to win games with a limited game plan- so we can expect Morne to be the starting 10 for the foreseeable future.
For some reason, our coaches and team seem to understand what is happening when Morne is on the pitch. We have more players behind the ball and Morne is like a defensive fullback that stays behind play to receive counter kicks. It does seem that the game is going more to plan- even if the plan is one dimensional.
