[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 521199, member: 39190"] Man, I just can't believe we are sticking with the Hougaard/ Steyn combo. That critical spine of 8, 9, 10 and 15 is our weakness. I'd say Steyn, Spies and Kirschner have never been great test level players (made to look good by the rugby god FdP- and looked average when Du Preez dropped form after his operation) and with them holding down those jerseys will we ever give anyone else a chance who may step up (I don't think Daniel is an option looking ahead)? Hougaard isn't the best option at 9 at this stage, at least not in conjunction with Steyn. Damn you, HM! Pat Cilliers on the bench in the absence of Oosthuizen is the right move IMO. Also can't wait till end of year as JdV (much as I love him) has to move on sooner rather than later. Pienaar and Lambie to come on with 30min to go and force HM's hand for the next test. [/QUOTE]
