[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 687564, member: 59145"] I don't really know what to think, the team we played against Ireland was one (fairly negligible) change away from the side that beat the All Blacks. I'm very torn, on the one hand I think Cobus did well in an attacking sense with 1 or 2 nice box kicks and his distribution was better, he picked out Willie for the JPP try, on the other hand he is a bit of a defensive liability. It's not just being turned by Sexton, his Super Rugby figures are not great. In the end I'd probably rather have Reinach than the player Hougard was this weekend by miles, but I'm hopeful Hougard can come right, although even then the only area where he really has Reinach beaten out and out is in defense but maybe that's what you need for these kinds of games. I'd like to see Hendricks stay in, filling our back line with good defensive players over their more attacking alternatives just makes me cringe, even if it might be the right option. I don't think HM will make too many changes personally and I won't be too disappointed with that, bad games happen we have to bounce back. [/QUOTE]
