[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1053255, member: 73144"] Very true. But I’d also say that the club game makes many players look better than they are too. Test matches are called that for a reason. The challenge presented by the opposition is that much higher - what dazzles against Worcester when the sun’s out may well end up with you dumped on your arse and looking a bit silly against the Boks or ABs. Don’t also discount the impact of the pressure that these big high profile matches bring either. That’s not defending the dross we’ve seen in the last few weeks, it’s been awful. But expectations shouldn’t be at the other end of the spectrum either. [/QUOTE]
