[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 353978, member: 39190"] Very impressed with the North kid. Looks the business. As for not noticing Habana!? He was the guy who gifted Wales a try and butchered one for Aplon. He just is greedy and overeager and puts his team under immense pressure. Should not have toured at all and needs to come home, have a good long think and work on getting his head right during the S15. JdV made no attempt to go for North; he was goign for the passer who fed North, Jones I think but made contact with the dummy runner who interfered and thus created teh obstruction. Spies has been for a long while and was yesterday again a showpony. MotM should have gone to North. Best man on the field for SA is a toss-up between Matfield and du Plessis. Hougaard and Alberts also added a lot when they came on. But why PdV feels like making wholesale changes I wouldn't know. Hit and miss. Ralepelle overthrew 2 line-out at the end which meant we had to defend our tryline for the whole last 10min!! My nerves couldn't take it. We have much better than Spies. The defining aspect of the agme for me was that it was the Steve Walsh show again. This guy really knows how to ruin a game of rugby. Wasn't helped by his touch judges at all but he has cost SA enough games, God knows so it is good to get one this time round. We had lisence to maul illegally just as Wales got away with murder at times as well. Some crucial misses though (and an unacceptable amount of them) which leaves a sour taste in the mouth. Lots of knocks, forward passes, offsides and such. I am thankful SA got the read of him better in the 2nd half and carried the ball rather than hand Wales the ball on a golden platter. I think though that both teams can take a couple of positives out of the game and there is much to learn from (not that I have faith in our coach's capacity for learning).
