For all of you that read my thread called: Give the boy a chance

Told you so!!

7 Teboho Mohoje:

Showed his inclusion was merited. Made plenty of carries, made 12 tackles in less than an hour on the field (although he also slipped one) and even won a line-out.
7/10

He was good but did not contribute anything at the rucks. 
The Boks were outplayed at the rucks until Burger replaced him.

 just saying... his rating was pretty much a foregone conclusion even before the game kicked off...

 Ou pa was pretty ineffective and is not there on merit. Louw and Burger are alot better and then there are a number of others as well to consider. I certainly wouldnt crow about this one Flas. he may get there as time goes on but he needs time at Super 15 level - to see if he can cope at that level.Burger will start against the wee abs.
I was shouting for Burger to come on and Meyer really left it late in the day.
Mallet and naas and everyone in fact though Burger was outstanding.Gavin Rich is very generous re Ou Pa but writes the following:

BURGER ENERGY

Not that it should really matter too much to the Boks, for this game was all about winning, and coach Heyneke Meyer may even be quite pleased that his team made heavy weather of it.

By chasing the game too much in the first hour, and thereby letting the Aussies into it, the Boks were forced to come from behind to win a close game – something that should be important psychologically after they came so close and yet so far in their previous two matches against members of the southern hemisphere big three this season.

There were several standouts for the Boks, and Francois Hougaard’s slippery running around the base and his long service earned him a deserved man of the match award, but the man who did more than anyone in injecting energy into the Bok effort in the final quarter was the legendary Schalk Burger.

The Stormers player and former IRB World Player of the Year was everywhere, and he even won the lineout ball against the Aussie throw that eventually led to the Lambie try.

Teboho Mohoje can feel satisfied with a solid debut, but Burger, in his time on the field, reminded everyone just what a special player he is, and his time on the field in this game will surely be a prelude to him starting next week against the All Blacks.

Told you he was what?....mediocre at best? I'd have to agree.
