They both had their best games in years. No more sleep walking by JP.....instead aggressive, alert play. Spies disrupted the Pom lineout, broke a few tackles and hit the rucks with more intent. Will the motivation last....who knows, but today they were good.
Jean who provides so much vision and Fransie had super games in midfield. Hougaard also made the adjustment and cleared his lines with authority. Etzebeth was a force, more so than last week.
Concerns included the performance of the front row, which creaked a bit all game and finally imploded when Werner Kruger came on. I also thought Coetzee showed a bit of inexperience backpeddling too far on that Youngs tap that resulted in a try. And obviously Morne's kicking is now officially a problem
Overall we looked so dominant for 60 minutes, but still left the Poms an opening. Our defence doesn't seem totally organized.
On a separate note, looking at the colour of Heyneke's face when he was shouting on the phone, he better have his blood pressure checked. The lad was the colour of a beetroot.
