[QUOTE="Ospervat, post: 816277, member: 72942"] Ordinarily I would agree with you - but unfortunately the fire has been reduced to a luke warm ember. They have played 6 this year and have a 50% record. Given the quality of opposition in the remaining 6 fixtures of which only 2 are at home I don't see them maintaining that record. Hopefully they will beat Italy however even this is not a certainty anymore which if they lose will be another first to add to Japan. I'm not blaming the players, the coaches or any other single entity for this demise. They are in collective chaos in terms of administration, leadership and skills. I honestly see them slipping to 6th or even 7th in the world rankings before the end 2016.

Why then is SARU not addressing it. Mediocrity is the new excellence in South African society - and this has finally permeated into South African rugby. [/QUOTE]
