[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 809484, member: 74121"] This is the first season of me looking at Super Rugby and the games today lived up to the name of the league. Barret's performance at 10 last week was the best I've ever seen at any level (howling gale, pouring rain) and he was outstanding again today. Jantjies here was really strong and that is probably the second best performance at 10 that I've seen (admittedly helped by a superb supporting cast) at club level. Biggest game of the young man's life and first time he's been exposed to that level of pressure, and he executed really well. He: - scored a try - counterrucked creating a turnover - executed a perfect cross kick leading to a try - broke the line from inside his 22 to set up a try - took a ballsy quick penalty under his own sticks and broke the line again (should have been a try) - chipped through perfectly leading to another try - good penalties/conversions as ever The lad has a calm head, a thumping boot and is a superb physical specimen for a number 10 in terms of size, strength and speed. He'll do just fine in a Springboks team that may not be dominant if their coach can embrance this new style of rugby. Highlanders lost their chance when they lost out on top seed in a conference, but it was a brave defence and they actually played pretty decent. A complete howler just before halftime though, I don't think they recovered from that mentally. [/QUOTE]
