[QUOTE="User1245, post: 959278, member: 40986"] I will invoke a post I made a week ago and bold some points that became apparent in the match. Mapimpi, Le Roux and de Klerk all had a shocker. None were able to turn it around. I was particularly amazed just how **** de Klerk's kicking was. That had to be the worst I've seen from him. Rassie should have taken him off way sooner. Kolbe once again put his stamp on the 14 jersey. I thought Kolisi had a good showing too. He is clearly not back to 100% fitness though. The ref got the scrum all kinds of wrong, the Bok scrum was superior and his interpretation of what was happening was a major dent in us getting momentum. Our forward pack is better than the ABs. Absolute must changes for the next big match (QF) need to be: [LIST] [*]Nkosi NEEDS to be starting. They need to figure out how to make him and Kolbe work. [*]Kriel in for Am. Kriel is a better athlete and he makes his presence felt when he is on the field. Am has a good rugby brain but he has been unspectacular at 13 for the Boks. [*]Faf and Willie need to chill and do the basics right. Their experience and their positions are too important for how we play. [/LIST] All that said, I didn't see enough from the Boks for us to warrant a victory. I do think that the score would have been closer if better calls were made at scrum time [/QUOTE]
