[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 652460, member: 59145"] No we weren't. He's horrible in the set piece. Being a good ball runner in space is not a highly valued attribute for a hooker in South Africa. This is partly why Brits has always been on the fringes at best. At this point I just want to escape these tests with dignity. We have enough injuries that our squad is simultaneously weakened, but also forced to start some players who wouldn't necessarily be in contention. Meaning we are [B]forced [/B]to do enough experimenting without adding more wild cards to the mix by choice. I just want to win these tests, without any weird upsets :P (and besides since I'm going to the Scotland test, will be nice to see all the Ballies live). I have faith that HM can win the next 2 tests and that's enough, at least until the RC. [/QUOTE]
