I was shocked by the poor Springbok performance.   Mozart always preach to us about the defense issue - but yesterday that was a disgrace - looking at the missed tackle ratios of the different backline players:-
Lambie            =   16,6%Hougaard       =    44,4% Habana            =   42,9%De Jongh         =    20%De Allende        =    12,5%Steyn               =    41,1%De Klerk          =    44,4%Mapoe             =   100%
Only 2 players (Lambie and De Allende) had reasonable defensive stats.   De Jongh was poor and the rest a disgrace.
Etzebeth, Du Toit and De Jager made 27 tackles missing only 2.   The loosies made a huge number of tackles - but as expected Alberts was the poorest insofar as missed tackles are concerned with a missed tackle ratio of 22,2% '
As expected there was no attacking play either - the Springboks never looked like threatening to score a try.    
The Springboks backline is a farce and that needs to be corrected - but this cannot be done under Coetzee, being clueless about backline play.
