If there is one thing that the Welsh showed us today is the value of strategic kicking which happened was how top kick accurately and purposefully to be the source of two of their tries. They never made a kick where the recipient was not under pressure and directed their kicks to where recipient had to make a lot of ground to recover the ball or where the recipient was under extreme pressure.
The main culprits kicking possession hand-over kicks were Cronje and Coetzee - but Pollard was also guilty of poor out of hand kicking - that penalty kick where he failed top fin touch is really unforgiveable.
There is still a lot of refining to be done as far as Pollard is concerned and one can only hope that Mitchell will take him in hand after years of Meyer and Ludeke misguidance.
There were two other issues here that needs clarification. Schreduer was a vast improvement on Cronje - he did mot make a single silly kick and his passing was crisp and accurate, Jantjies should NEVER EVER be in any Springbok squad again. He was seriously pathetic in his short time on the field of play.
