The backline was disfunctional - especally in defense. Bar the first two tries of he Springbks the whole team went awry and leadership in the team went out of the window as well, .
I have to rate the Pollard as the most disappointed player today as a major contributor to a disappointing backline. Fact s the Sprigbok backine went disfunctional - while Am's best position remains to be 13 - not 12. I was disappointed in Fassie's performance as well,
As to Libbok - he is not a reliable goal kicker and missed the kick that could have the decider of the mach outcome. His out-of-hand kicking only represented possession handoer to the Pumas,
If Erasmus by now not realize that Moerat is useless - especailly in line-outs - he would never know.
I think Erasmus took a gamble with ths team - if Du Toit and De Allende was playing the Springboks would have won the game.
Finally we need oter flyhalfs as an urgency - the only really accepable one is Shaca, Pollard was poor in defense and Libbok unde presure missed g oal kicks, Frankly I would play Goosen ahead of both Pollard and Libbok as a number 10.
Another blunder s Reinach in the team killed any backlie play because he was not a team member he is just have an extreme level of White line fever, Hendriks was a hell of an improement on him.
