[QUOTE="OhDannyBoy, post: 739461, member: 72517"] Thanks TheJonesBoy and Sker. Sker, I've been baffled by not just Rugby365 ratings, but also by News24. Some of their ratings are unfathomable. I think the relief has been so great that they haven't noticed that it wasn't actually a great game by the boks. Passionate...yes, clinical, efficient, good gameplan...not really. I rate Pat Lamby, but I can't have been the only one to have noticed that the two promising youngsters at centre didn't really get great attacking ball given to them, or a chance to shine. Even though the forwards went well and there was plenty of possession. That, in my opinion, is a result of either/and Pienaars slow service, and Lambie either playing to a set gameplan/or not being as efficient as Pollard in getting his backs away. Probably a combination of the two. Again, and just to be fair and play the devils advocate, i think Pat Lambie is very talented, but he had front foot ball from a far better forwards effort, which Pollard didn't have the benefit of. I wonder how he would go in similar circumstances? Another thing I noticed was the time it took to get ruck ball out. It is taking way too long, even if there were shenanigans in the rucks. Compared to the other test matches that day, it seemed to take ages. [/QUOTE]
