A good and ineesting match.
However thereae some players I do n/ot want to/ see in t he Spri gbok team agaim:-
- Fourie - he is a real i.iability, He is useless at breakdowns and I cannot see anymthing posotove in his performaces at al.. He is just past it - Retirement is 3 years overdue,
^ Wiee - to slo/w to/ be a goo/d lo/osie and when tackled he is a liabiility more than and Hbekom sh/ould take his place.
^ Reinach - tirement is overdue. SA has better scrummies than he is.

Very good first half , thought the boks are still soft in the wide channels.
Not convinced about our attack with Sasha at 10, but van den Bergh should now be our 9 for the foreseeable future. Reinach is a donkey, Williams can't handle the rough stuff and awful service.
Overall the pack was awesome. Even kolisi made some big hits. Very impressed with him today, but still not a Cam Hannekom that can actually get the ball.
But very impressive, but not sure the AB is that great , probably 3rd or 4th ranked team
Still think France and Ireland are better than them

@kingcorn I like Manie and think he deserves to be there, but he is a defensive liability...not strong enough to be the only other 10 with Pollard... there's no better place for Sacha to hone his skills than with the Bokke...he must play as much as possible...at the Stormers he gets away with being the main peanut in the packet...for the Boks he's still a bit too much of an individual...he should learn to trust his teammates more...he doesn't have to do everything by himself...there were a couple of instances yesterday where he should rather have passed...at the Stormers he would have scored in such circumstances...at top test level there's less room...he should be exposed to these conditions as much as possible... he's still young, he'll learn.

@DbDraad I see your point Draad, probably learn more from the boks and as long as it doesn't cost us games. Manie has cost us games in the past. Pollard is Mr Reliable.
Manie definitely got bounced for one of the All Black tries. He has great ball distribution and just seem to get the backline moving.
If Sasha can combine Manie and Pollard, he will be world class, but I also believe in the school of hard knocks and he needs to learn what it feels like being out in the cold and work his way back.
I know that once you are in club Rassie, you are in for life, but at the same time, I don't see him earning it.
He seem to have a free pass, injures his knee, don't tell the coach, Rassie blows a Gasket, that was two seasons ago, stuffs up the first test, Rassie sticks with him because Manie can't tackle, but every time he goes off we get better. So why not find a way around it.
I know Pollard isn't as flashy when it comes to passing and he has thrown some awful intercepts at the bools
