What did Vic do that was of significance in that game against the Sharks......actual contribution, his stats fall well short, in fact they are insulting....so what are we missing?

 

Kindly explain.....I have the match recorded so would like to revisit his actual positives

Just look at the four Bools tries Dave......I include the first one because you should take another look at how Esterhuizen just bottles out of pursuing Kriel after one or two steps. In all the others you will see Victor involved. Nothing huge, just the smart thing....it happens throughout the game. Look at the kickoffs as well....crisp.

 

He is a thinking man's player .

Just a question - how many kick-offs did Matfield take?   And how smart was he really?  Was not calling line outs to come to him smart?   The smart things apparently include that he is not of any value in Tight 5 play, so he stands around behind mauls and then get the balls and pass it - or gets tackled going straight down.  That may look smart to you - but is a serious problem for his team.

 Sorry Moz that does not cut the mustard. A modern lock needs to provide muscle and physicality to every aspect of the game. If I am after a clever linking type of player then that role would be down to my 6 or 8.....not one of my tight five.
As a writer correctly pointed out it is no coincidence that the Boks started losing the physical battles and with it more games since Vic joined.
As for Esterhuizen he was flat footed standing still when the pacy Kriel wiped past him...he had no chance in hell of tackling him.
Kriel is bloody quick Esterhuizen is not.....Esterhuizen has the same kind of pace as Jean Fourie Jan Frans etc.....Kriel has JJ s pace
