The Bulls are scoring more tries than the stormers, but the bulls give away very soft tries on defence.

Maybe the attacking coach of the bulls should be swopped with the defence coach of the Stormers?

The Stomers must have the worst attacking backline in the Super15. 

However they have the best defensive backline in the Super 15- but perhaps the lightest with Aplon, Joe Pietersen, Dejong.

Did Hieneken Meyer take the Bulls Defense coach from the Bulls? 

The one area of concern of the Springboks is the tests was the defence. England seemed to score at ease. I think the boks should get Nienabaar the defence coach on board, and eject the current defence coach. 

The boks defence is breached too easily. One thing about a Jake White team is its defence. The Brumbies have made massive strides with him on board.

The boks backline attack looked better than it was during the whole 4 PDV years. The tempo was much faster as well. However I am very concerned about the defence. 

The Sharks defence has also falled apart in many games this season and the reason we may miss out in qualifying.

Sharkbok Meyer took on board the bulle defence coach. Have to agree it should have been Nienaber but fortunately for us it wasnt!.

Bok will in all likelyhood also need a backline coach rather than the unknown bulle coach loubscher.

Meyer defintely had blue tinted glasses when he selected his coaching staff and first Bok squad. Can he now be more objective. Wonder if he has signed long term contracts with his coaching staff.

As a Bulls man I have to agree. I don't know why he didn't go with Nienaber. The man is special.

and our attack was even worse at times.....i cant help but feel that nienader would have been a better option but then again i dont want us to persist with the notion that we can defend for 80 mins and scrape through. are attack needs more attention but it will come with time....but our defence will become better but like most defence systems it takes time before things get together. one can learn to defend...cant quite learn at the same rate how to attack. i would much rather prefer a attack minded game plan than waiting in the trenches like old allister no cups coetzee does. this series was a fluke and we need to judge the "4 nations" at how good or bad certain people are. but we need to attack more to beat the best.
