[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 694832, member: 59145"] Unfortunately if nothing else this tour has highlighted that SA are far from the favourites in this up and coming World Cup, we have too many areas of concern. - Willie le Roux is our only real option at FB and while he can be great when playing well, he also is inconsistent enough to cost us games. - Our Wings are either good defensively and good under the high balls, or have flair in attack but not both. - Our centres are fine, or rather were fine until this JDV injury (looks like he's out for 8 months minimum which will make it hard for him to play in 10 months time). - There is promise at fly-half but the lads are so young they really need 2 or 3 years to develop not 10 months. - Scrumhalf is a bit of a dog show unless Fourie du Preez comes in to save the day. Other than that it's about our forward pack finding form and not getting injuries in key areas. With our first choice back row, Fourie du Preez, and an in form 10 and 15 we have a chance. I'll remain optimistic but perhaps 2019 is a more realistic aim. [/QUOTE]
