He thinks the Boks are all good. Pretty good points but the Boks should have kicked deep and forced New sealand to play from deep like in 2009. Those shallow kicks were suicidal. I get the idea but the Boks arent good at backing that kind of kicks you need better defenders.
"the Boks arent good at backing that kind of kicks"
I've been saying that for years.
The aussies are the best at kicking and chasing as well as defending the high ball.
In my opinion, its years and years of AFL that puts them streets ahead.
The AB's are also pretty good at it.
We are woeful. Its probably out biggest weakness in my opinion.
Mapimpi.... oh my god mapimpi.... give the guy a ball to run with, and he is good... but dear god he has terrible perception under the high ball.
Surely Rassie has seen this and realises he isnt up to it?
I mean Kolbe and Nkosi are on another level!
"Surely Rassie has seen this and realises he isnt up to it?"
Well perhaps no he hasn't, Rassie must be living in hope or else he's blind-sighted.
thats a interesting point Red the afl. i only rate Kolbe under the high bal though. nkosi is about as good as Kriel. Almost nobody dominates that contact point in the air and thats a major worry if you are going to kick so much, especially if you kick such shallow kicks. all blacks got free ball in Bok territory with those dumb kicks almost every time. i dont understands why nianaber thinks this was successful. it was sooooo dumb!
