[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 813056, member: 59145"] I honestly don't think we can use quota's as an excuse this game. The quota players that most people would agree don't deserve to be in the team are: Mohoje, Paige, Mbonambi, Mohoje was one of our best players and the latter two didn't really play a role at all. What I was most annoyed by was the incumbent boks lack of work rate and passion. Louw, Strauss, Lood and even Etzebeth were quiet and not their usual selves (other than at scrum time). I actually thought DdA and Mapoe were fine, at least DdA was passing more (3 carries and 7 passes), I think it's still fair to give them some time. Ultimately I thought the play-makers let the rest of our backs down (Elton and Goosen) and our attack looked flat because of it, they both looked very uncomfortable, and while I'm willing to give Goosen a pass, having only been in the Bok set-up for a week, Elton really needs to pull off some consistent performances our he's going to get replaced by someone with a better temperament.
