There are a number of problems in the team that needs urgent attention.
The first problem is Morne Steyn. Could he have had a worst performance than he had today? I suppose he could, but if he gets any worse he should be sent to play school rugby. Aimless kicking representing handover of possession is his forte. He seems not to understand that when a penalty is awarded to you and it is too far to kick at goal - you may kick he ball out of touch. Once against the All Blacks - two today. Strategic kicking does not mean that you have to kick balls far downfield and with no pressure on the opposition player he can start a counter-attack. while making sure that the kick should go straight to an opposition player.
Then other thing that bothers me is the issue of ball carrying when he player gets tackled and is isolated in the process. It happens most frequently with our loosies. The are not on the shoulder of the ball carrier and there is normally no other support as well - so the carrier gets isolated and have to hang onto the ball - leading to penalties against the player. This is a major problem resulting from immobile loose forwards
Another issue relates to Etzebeth's partner. Problem is Flip is clueless and Kruger is hopeless. That late line - out when the intention was to drive the Wallabies over the line to get the fourth try was unsuccessful - because Kruger knocked the ball on.
Finally our props are pretty useless and the scrums today was a shambles as a result. Time to get rid of Steenkamp and Jannie - sad to say - they are just not up to standard anymore.
Finally - when you have fifteen players on the field of play and the opposition has 14 and you get a penalty - kick for the corner and try and get a try especially when you are well clear of the opposition score and you need tries to get a bonus point.
