[QUOTE="Draggs, post: 523101, member: 42052"] Heinrich Brussow was injured last I had heard, so we can't call conspiracy just yet. As I have said, give Meyer a year or so to see how it introduces new players. My biggest issue is more of the gameplan he wants the Boks to execute. Some say it is supposed to just be 'Bok rugby' but to me is looks clumsy and clueless. I honestly can't recall a single very effective line break. Let's look at South Africa's tries: 1. Kirchner, first test, 16 minutes: Free kick from a scrum ten metres out. Ball moved to M Steyn and then F Steyn, who is stopped and driven back. Second phase: Alberts gains ground to roughly 6m from the goal line, ball passed to M Steyn and then Kirchner, who steps inside and crosses (approximately 7-9 metres out) 2. Coetzee, first test, 27 minutes: Rolling maul inside the 22 stops 10 outside of the Argentina line. Coetzee breaks off from the tail and crosses in the corner. 3. Habana, first test, 56 minutes: Cross kick 15 metres out by M Steyn finds Habana 5m from touch on the Argentine line. 4. F Steyn, second test, 65 minutes: Argentina kick charged down outside of Argentine 22 by F Steyn. All Argentine players inline with kicker, Steyn gathers and scores under no pressure from the opposition. I suppose this isn't too deep, but it shows that the tries have not come from long lasting attacks or executed attacking set pieces. [/QUOTE]
