[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 770106, member: 39190"] I see SA's potential, you see it but its a big question whether it might be realized between political interference, injuries and coaching or simply sometimes players (and teams) just don't seem to develop further than a point (because of a lack of rugby intellegence?). When it comes to finding the right style I don't think we are too far off. I feel apart from scrum half and new wings we have the right personell. Its not a case of changing overly much its more a mindset change of allowing the ball to move through the hands and back our outside runners. Jesse Kriel had 1 run against NZ, making a clean break and 21 meters. Against Wales he made 4 runs for 38 meters, 1 clean break and 2 defenders beaten. I'm not saying he'd make a clean break or 10 meters every run but give the man the opportunity to have 5+ runs and I'm sure we'd see a try off it somewhere along the line. We have to be careful to not try and force De Allende to be a battering ram even if he is suited to this- there is more to his play much like Nonu. We've seen during the group stages and in the lead up that our outside backs can score tries. The sad thing is we lost in many of those matches and Meyer seems to think its ecause we tried to play too much rugby. He says our players just aren't skillful enough and its not his fault. What a depressing thought and how do you expect those players to play with this lack of faith from their coach? I am so hoping to see the back of him come the 4th of December even if the list of probable replacements is all that inspiring. [/QUOTE]
