[QUOTE="Steve-o, post: 192357"] I think John Smit has left a big hole, as has Butch. Theres no direction in the backline and there didnt seem to be any kind of plan whatsoever. [/b][/quote] I feel the same. Butch and Smit are both 29 and at the peak of their careers when they left. We built for so long, and the team was bulit around them. I mean, Smit, Butchie and Percy were even vital in the Bok WC campaign too. Our backline was suppose to be our strength this year, but I think this squad rotation policy is the root of the problem. Muir must surely see this? I don't know but i've noticed Pienaar and Steyn tend to sulk when they don't get their way. Pienaar came back from injury about 3 games ago, and with Kockett in-form, I don't see how he thinks he should be 1st pick at the moment. Although he had a bad game at flyhalf today, I see what Eddie Jones was talking about, he has HUGE potential there. His kicks were a bit over cooked (could be because it was an away game), but he had the vision to pick his spots out like that. [/QUOTE]
