Doubt Jean Kleyn would describe himself as a poached victim. Better paid is probably the term he would use.From an outsider's perspective, I think Ireland, Wales and England have painted a big target on their backs. England more so than anyone else. Now this isn't just because of the overall hatred teams tend to have for England, but also the whole Owen Farrell high tackles which seems to go unpunished. I wouldn't be surprised at all if teams go out of their way to hurt the English team. You have a coach who isn't well-liked, you have a cocky captain in Farrell and there seems to be this aura around the team where they think they are better than what they actually are...
Ireland and Wales have targets on their backs purely because they have been winning a lot more against SH teams than in the past, and the frequency of their victories are a sign of their improvements in key areas in the game. For Ireland, should they get a QF with SA, there will be issue of poaching of players rearing it's ugly head, with their most recent squad member in Jean Kleyn being the latest victim.
Again, I'm speaking from an outsider's perspective, but I think the NH teams will need to be ready for an onslaught.
I worry for South Africa's chances if they have to use a pretty uninspiring squad player for inspiration in the knockout stages of a World Cup.
@TRF_Olyy everyone does hate England though. Dirty sods.
