[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 358877, member: 39190"] PdV saying that the Springboks won't be 'moving away from our strengths' and adopting a running game plan: [URL]http://www.sarugby.com/2010/12/02/boks-settle-on-game-plan/[/URL] ..then he goes and says something about embracing the spirit of Barabarian rugby.. and the team selected certainly implies that the Boks are going to try and keep posession and run with the ball: Hougaard and McCleod both more suited to attacking, running rugby, so is Kanko and our FH and FB in Jantjies & Lambie. That and the fact that we have no specialist fetcher with Smith and Alberts both being more ball carriers than ball stealers implies we are going to adopt the Sharks game of keeping posession and going through the phases and not worrying about stealing the ball since the idea is that the opposition will never have it in the first place. I think we may actually take this one against an impressive Baabaas line-up if we can starve that backline of ball since I think we have their number up front. Patience and execution will be key, though and this is a very inexperienced Bok squad.. Shaping up for a good match up and it will be interesting to see if any developments in Bok gameplan come from it. [/QUOTE]
