[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 952298, member: 39190"] Glad for the ***le. I'm not one to read too much into 'curses' etc surrounding RC winners not going on to claiming RWC ***les. The sample size is just too small and there are too many variables at play. ***le was there for the taking and we took it. Good job. On the up side the majority of the team picked up where they left off. The feeling I got post game was that the focus is still very much on improving leading into the RWC. On the ifs.. Faf had an off day. Not reading too much into that performance. Mapimpi despite one good run and finish still is our weakest point IMO. Hoping Dyantyi can make a recovery in time and hit the ground running. Kwagga Smith has been quiet every cap in green he has got. Suppose I will have to et my words and concede he is not up to test rugby. Louw has been much more impactful. Guess Kolisi coming back in will make Kwagga's no-show a non-concern though. I still think our centers aren't world class but we seem to be managing? Can Etzebeth please just not jump into tackles like that ever again. Think we were very lucky to get away with that and those two times we got away were at critical junctures. We even scored a try off the one penalty we got. I still think we were in the ascendancy and would likely have eked out a win considering our scrum dominance if nothing else but.. while crystal balling is pointless.. I do think it could/would/should've been a much tighter game. Yeah, Kolbe is our clear best option at 14. We have 3 good options at 9 even if Faf looked a tad off his game this one and Jantjies is green. No need to mess these players around. Especially not at this stage. [/QUOTE]
