.....he handled Castro in the Italian test. Instead the Bools start with the biggest match loser in the SA S15. Greyling literally lost that match yesterday....and this is not the first time. Getting a tighthead that can scrum isn't an automatic.....but looseheads are usually functional, if not always dominant.


You simply can't justify the kind of scrumming performance Greyling produced yesterday. It's unfair to the rest of the team.

 I agree, Trevor is a very solid prop

 Kebble was having an easy time against Trevor and I fear his fate might have been worse than that of Greying. I suspect Kitshoff would have had a great afternoon against Trevor.  Since when has Trevor been know as agreat tighthead?
Some very hasty conclusions being reached by the anti Greyling brigade.

 Kebble had a decent time against Nyakane because Trevor was moved to tighthead to accommodate Mellett who had just come off the bench for Marcel.

 That only happened in the 74 th minute....Kebble's two dominating scrums were against Marcel. The one near the Stormers line which resulted in Marcel being penalized was a key turning point. As was the subsequent one on the halfway where the commentator said that Marcel was turned totally sideways and popped....resulting in another penalty.

 

 

After that Marcel got the hook. The only other scrum was the one at minute 79 and change where the Stormers shunted the Bools pack back, but the klutz Schreuder actually allowed the Bools to pick up the ball from the scrum.

 

 

I predicted Marcel was going to get crushed and he was.

Greyling has had a scrumming issue for the last 3 years, agreed Moz, why Nyakane is left on the bench only Ludeke will know.


Greyling is good in general play but cant scrum......Nyakane is good in the scrum and general play

Marcel was stuffed by the time Kebble came on......poor use of subs by Ludeke......how can he expect his tighthead to play into the 70th minute
