Could Goosen/Steyn/Jantjies find time to make play under pressure if his forwards were going backwards? I have not seen it yet.

BUT over the years we have fogotten how to attack. The glorious interchange and strategy at pace, trying to out think our opponents instead of overwhelm them. When we havea good balance, we will be unstoppable.

I believe that teh only thing Meyer said at half time was: ” The next f%$#$%#$ that gives away a penalty gets dropped for a season.”

The Boks weren’t executing badly with abll in hand – but they were being lazy in thinking. The penalties that we were giving away were stifling our attack and defence. You simply cannot be an international player that is too lazy to think. That is what rugby is about – thinking under pressure.

That’s because your team are awesome and the Springboks are just average. That makes you a better person than us too. You should celebrate by going somewhere nice. Without internet access. For a long long time.

The players don’t play, they simply follow the set instructions. HM is the biggest culprit in this and because of his success with the Bulls, the rest of SA took this script on-board and we’re now starting to pay the price for it.

It’s about the performance. Very unconvincing, don’t you think?

‘It has to happen and that’s what we’re spending a lot of time discussing at the moment,’ he said. ‘Just the fact that the Irish have won more European Cups than anywhere else and New Zealand’s won more Super Rugby titles than anyone else and those two groups are the ones that are rotating their international playing group. And it’s not just the international side, it’s the franchises that are thriving.’ In the words of the formerly great coach Robbie Deans.
