[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1057341, member: 65365"] if it wasn’t for the 5 errors le roux made, I dont think we would have almost won the game. Plus you were talking about players not the performance of the team. Shall we go through the lineups? Starting front rows, equal. They have big defenders and big ball runners, we have more agility and both have good scrums, theirs slightly better. Starting locks, boks by a mile. Etzebeth is a lineout machine, and lood is big, mobile, smart, was unlucky not to be world player of the year 2019. Starting loose forwards, boks. They’re better at the breakdown. Equal on defence. We’re better in attack, but that rarely matters in big tests against teams who are good at the breakdown and on defence. Most importantly they are more experienced at this level. So while our players have potential, it’s not immediately coachable, they need experience too. Halves, boks. Fafs kicks are ridiculous, just watch them move in the air. Pollard isn’t very good, beauden is better, but boks overall take it. Midfield, hard to say. Outside backs, us. Reserve scrum, them by a mile Other reserve forwards, equal Reserve backs, us But really, both teams are pretty even except the boks reserve scrum players is way better than ours, their lineout players are better than ours, but we have more X factor.
