[QUOTE="GoTheNaki, post: 747372, member: 70789"] Can you tell me what he has done wrong? Has he not selected the best players available? Were the SA Super Rugby teams particularly good this year? I mean, this isn't football where the coach has decided you'll be playing 4-4-2 today, and it doesn't suite your team, or your make up. I just feel like Japan played, like, pretty much, a perfect game... I mean, how many handling errors did they have? They lost what, 1 line-out? They didn't lose a single scrum. Their game plan was perfect, and they just happened to execute at near perfection for their team physicality and ability. On top of this, South Africa were arrogant in their approach.. They clearly didn't think much of Japan, they were kicking for touch on penalties consistently. I mean, I just, from what I've heard... The South African public are extremely hard to please right now. Pollard has a bad game, the public completely throws him under the bus, calling for Lambie or whoever. You had Lambie last night, and Pollard looked better in his link-up with Kriel and the rest of the back-line, when he finally come on. Pollard is only 20, and your public seem to act like he's been around for years... He is going to be a fantastic player, I watched him in the U20s WC. Infact, even if your team doesn't do it this year, I actually think this loss will galvanize them, and make them extremely dangerous. But I believe that South Africa have fantastic players for the future, Etzebeth(24 next month), de Jager(23 this year), Pollard(21), de Allende(24 this year), Lambie(25 this year), le Roux(He's only 26), and Kriel(21). Promising players, and it's not like your U20s team has been doing bad, so no doubt youth will come through in your forwards soon too. [/QUOTE]
