The scary part is that our defence collapsed and yes we had no answer when the Pumas got there game together.
They were just the better team. Congrats to the Pumas, they deserved to win. My bet is that Brown does not get free reign.
It’s again maybe a case of clashing ideologies and adding the Back line prowess is not a easy task by the looks of it.
Besides the obvious lack of coaching, Rassies bad player selections is not the way forward.
Let’s hope he wakes up now with players like Moerat, Libbok, Van staden. Even Am and Jessica was loose canons. They look totally confused out there.
How can a team with still a big part of the experienced core there, loose there structures like that?? Well they best figure it out quickly as the Pumas will be determined to beat us at home to.

“ Pakster scoring backline tries with today's professional defence is no easy matter when you play against top sides. "
Yet again you speaking nonsense! Please oh wise Plank, explain to us why the Pumas got it right to carve us up and score those excellent tries ??
They did the same vs the AB and demolished the Wallabies . The Pumas are a excellent coached team and they are on the rise.
They play positive Rugby and are absolutely on the right track. So it is possible to score tries even against the best teams in the world.

The passing game Draad. I’m isolating one aspect of the game. We were superior in the scrums and the lineouts. I’m curious why can’t you let go of the emotions and examine things like a sentient being?
What you saw yesterday and in the second Irish test was the mirror image of our wins over France, England and NZ three times. We won 5 and lost 2 of these close matches. Why? Primarily because scrum superiority works in the last 10 minutes if you have a reliable kicker.
But it’s a toss up and not what the world’s best team should accept. If we get 10points behind, do we have the game to pull back a big deficit. Not really. So we will win our fair share of arm wrestles as long as our opponents can’t solve the scumming deficit. But the moment they do that we are in serious trouble.
As yet there is no evidence Brown has achieved anything. My guess is because Rasmus has never understood what he is trying to do and has other objectives eg keeping Am in the team. All of which is no surprise,
