[QUOTE="AM_Bokke, post: 881789, member: 76028"] I have only been able to watch the extended 25 minute highlights of the match and not the whole game but here are my thoughts. - If this exact same game played out but with Gelant at 15, Am at 13, Rhule at 11(I think that Skosan has been worse), Page or Scheduer at 9, Botha at lock and Bongi at 2 then I would be happy. I don't expect this Bok team to win all of its end of year tour games, but I do expect that the whole entire squad to see some game over the course of a 4 match tour. Especially with such a poor backline. We should be trying out lots of players and combinations. - I think that Andries needs to make that tackle on the first Wales try. As far as I can tell, he was poorly positioned for Wales' first 2 tries and he also got charged down for the 3rd. I mostly like him but poor game from him and Gelant should have started at 15. - Otherwise seemed like an exciting match that went down to the end. I like that and think that it's good for rugby. - Our backs are just crap. Leyds has taken his chance well I think but I really don't know what the options are. Maybe a new coach could help but it really looks like the players don't exist for us right now. [/QUOTE]
