My team of the week
Can't argue with most of the others.

Sorry I disagree totally with you. here - for one Du Toit played at 7? Why pick him at 5. Not necessary because Schickerling played at 5 and he had a good game. I also think Marx had a much better game at 2 ahead of Akker,
Estrhuizen and Am was a joke as a center pair, And Jantjies was his normal useless self as per normal.
Unfortunately I did not see the full Sharks game. I saw Esterhuizen handling the ball twice near the tryline, the one ball came back the second one was a turnover,
Because of that I looked at the stats and was not impressed either, Niothing indicated that either Esterhuizen or Am had a good game/ That is why I did not wrote about an SA team of the week. The games were more characterized by poor performances by a number of players in the same position as was the case in the past few weeks.

I watched all previous games, And as stated I watched the first half of the Sharks game and saw that Am looked like a lost sheep and Esterhuizen made a few carries with no impact whatsoever on the game. Fact is he lost ball possession when the Sharks could have scored.
As to the Lions game I watched the full game and I am afraid I saw nothing special about Jantjies. I remember your slection of him last week when he made mistakes galore and a knock on a few meters out - resulting in a Reels try - after he through a pass to nobody earlier in the game leading to another try was all I needed to see to say you were dead wrong last week. Fact is this week he was replaced after fouling up and his benching caused the Lions backline to perform better than they did with him on the field.
I now you cannot see anything wrong with the Jantjies performances - but I do because I am objective.

Strangely he has no turnovers conceded against his name in the stats, and you clearly missed his carry straight over a defender to cross the advantage line in order to set up Du Preez's try.
There was a turnover made in the case of the game as mentioned - it does not necessarily mean he gave away a turnover - it could also be a penalty - which he did give away.

Could be that.
