Test Post-mortem - The End of Faff DeKlerk?

After having some time to reflect on the loss, the box kicks are where the Boks conceded the game in the first half.
A good box kick has distance and height that gains territory while making it contestable.
Then it's a 50/50 in the opposition half, an error by the opposition is a scrum or penalty in a scoreable position. 
At the very least a box kick must be high so it is contestable. 

Faff has always been erratic with box kicks. It is such a critical part of the Rassies game plan. South Africa in general uses their scrumhalf to kick more than other teams. 

When Smith replaced Faff, the Boks upped their tempo significantly and most of the box kicks were at least contestable.
Had Smith started the Boks would probably not have slipped so far in the first half.
Pollard too has never been a consistent box kicker - but he has never been as bad as what Faff is.
On his day, Faff has a good box kick - but he is far too inconsistent. 

The grubber 5m from his line with an overlap was the Boks best scoring chance

Faf was piss poor in both tests - poor kicking and his work at the base was awful - he was indecisive, erratic and anything but assertive at the base Time to move on - we have far too many good younger 9’s waiting in the wings
