It was the same last week. He was pretty shy of contact.

Coach is in a massive hole now. Faf, Pollard and Willie all crap. Herschel has the yips and 5Bar hardly any game time. No-one else in the squad in the backs has a single minute on tour, except Fassi.

Forwards look fat and disinterested. Tight 5 are lazy, maul without Lood is toothless and loosies not a unit. Does he start Kwagga and give Van Staden more than 6 mins? What about Mostert who is out of position, but is our best forward just now.

Wiese surely skipper next week, Nienaber?

AB next week and surely too late to bring in Fassi, JLDP and Co.

AB by 30

He was obviously a pretty fukken good defense coach, and obviously never coached defense last week.

It was very arrogant of SARU appointing him with no experience.

Kolisi, Vermeulen, Pollard & Am. Untouchables.

JN really fucked up on selection for Australia. Now we either stick with this rabble for the All Blacks or try throw some fresh meat at them. Either way, we're screwed next week.

Well we've been saying since the Lions games that the balance is wrong here.

Get rid of Wiese (I'm going to give him a special mention in my prayers this evening and ask that he be sanctioned and banned during the week), Kwagga and useless fucking Willie (permanently) for Fassi. Play Mostert at 5 and JLDP at 7. Start Duanne and replace with Dan. Pull Captain Invisible early and get van Staden on. Faf can ride pine too. He is woefully out of form and petulant.

I've never seen a team so brain dead. You score rolling mauls at will last week so of course the Ozzie go back and practice countering it. What do we do? Try rolling mauls all afternoon barely making a meter.

Exactly this. Depressing stuff.
We will hear nienaber's same "we trust those guys and know what they have done for us" mantra again and see exactly the same useless selections for our intended gameplan again.

It's almost as if the wings have been instructed to stay exclusively in their channel on the tramlines in all attacking movements whether its from first phase ball/ set pieces or not. We're really short of out and out pace in the midfield. Willie is a carthorse. No wonder we have so few line-breaks. Mapimpi is an amazing footballer, he should be coming off his wing and used more creatively. Instead he is just being used as a kick chaser.

Easy things first. Since PSdT left out defense went through the window. If we want to beat the All Blacks our defenders need to be in their face for 80 minutes.
