[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 760074, member: 39190"] Lourens, Heinie et al, have some faith (can't believe I'm the one having to calm the nerves prior to a match!); Leave out the Japan match and SA has conceded 1 try in our last 3 matches and that was an intercept effort and Scotland had to work well off the ball after the interception to score in any case; [media=youtube]fcwYC13CuGs[/media] Sure, Wales WILL be a step up from Samoa and Scotland minus some of their best but I feel we've seen enough to say the defense is solid; around the fringes our forwards have been monstering all commers and Pollard/DDA/Kriel are solid unless the opposition are very clever in the way they stretch us and that's something I havn't seen Wales do convincingly this tournament. Habs, JPP both rocks out wide. Its the chips and stuff (inside balls with backs running good lines with our covering forwards possibly being exposed etc) we'll have to watch out for and while I don't have 100% faith in Le Roux there that is Du Preez's bread and butter (playing a sweeper role). So, yes, it'll be a game. But lets back our boys. [/QUOTE]
