[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 739495, member: 40658"] [USER=72517]@OhDannyBoy[/USER], I think you are being way too critical here. I completely disagree about Victor Matfield. He made the second most tackles of all all the forwards for the Bokke in the game. He stole to balls at the lineout, and was instrumental in Mvovo's try. For a 38-year old he is still a very valuable asset. I agree with you on Schalk. He's not the crash ball runner like he used to be. As for the scrums. It's amazing to see the difference in a matter of 6 days between 2 teams. Yes Ayerza didn't play, but I think that was the plan all along with the SH ref in charge. Glenn Jackson, who was a fly half in his playing days, knows a thing or 2 about the scrums. I thought he handled that area pretty well. Ruan Pienaar had an off day, I thought his clearance at ruck time was a bit slow and that missed try was just sloppy. But his kicking was very good. And his vision for Habana's try was amazing. Damien De Allende was a bit quiet for me, but then again, the Argentina backline was so quick to shut down the space in the middle, that DDA had very little chances. Lambie's kicking at goal was stellar. But his general kicking left a lot to be desired. 2 cross-kicks directly into touch, so high that our player on the wing couldn't even get fingertips on it. Then one kick over the deadball line, and one penalty kick not finding touch. Zane Kirchner was great under the high ball, and it was good to see him run the ball back instead of just kicking it every damn time. I also thought his defense was way better than Willie Le Roux's.
