I checked the ratings against the statistics on three sites and what came out was what was really the case.  


Jean De Villiers he rated highly - but all f ESPN Scrum, F oxsport and TestRugby rated hin as way below par/


Bakkies Botha he rated highly - but he came near to zzero erformance-wise in all three stats sources.  


Damien de Allende he conmdemned outright - but he came up on top in all the three stats sources.


Marcell Coetzee he condemned as inadequate - Yet he is in the top list of players in all three stas souces.


What was produced was not good enough - but to lie about performances is also unacceptable.   


As a matter of fact - both tests this weekend was affected by adverse weather conditions.   Howeeervr. the conditions in Pretoria was really the worst I have seen ever - De Villiers is right about that one - to pla rugby in a hail storm is really unbelievable.

Didn't you discuss all these views and disagreements on other threads already? But okay, I'll bite. After some thought I'd rate the following players differently than Mozart:

Willie - 7 (5) He was peppered with high balls and handled all but two very well in torrid conditions. His kicking and decision making was a mixed bag.
De Allende - 5 (3) A few good carries, routine catching and passing, suspect tackling and defensive positioning. And yes, I did see him slap the ball away from the Argies after the chargedown. Good alertness, but that should be routine at test level.
Bakkies - 5 (6) Got involved, but not with any great effect.
Coetzee - 6 (5) Coetzee tackled well, but had little impact otherwise.
Morne - 3 (5) Didn't do much right and looked indecisive.

Apart from that he was pretty accurate. Jean was rated a 5 with the comment "nothing either way". That's not "rated highly".

Not sure why you feel the need to constantly start new threads specifically discussing Mozart's views, and then tossing in some exaggerations to boot. And you really shouldn't accuse others of bias. Three fingers pointing back at you and all that. I'm already waiting for you to slip in a mention of how bad Francois Steyn is in this thread too.

Actually I could live with most of those changes....I thought Morne was a bit better, and I doubt he was expecting Willie's tapped mark. As for Clevermike he seems to be angry and irrational much of the time...and he is given to these grandstanding threads that " call me out". It's a bit like fighting a madman, it's hard to keep some decorum when your opponent has none.  Still what else does the poor old codger have in his life.

 MozartI am the rational one - your ratings were totally irrational and that is a fact.      I think you were caught out again and now the personal attacks blossom all over again.
