Well, another disappointing game. The boks were dominant in the first half but never show any creativity.

The Good: Louw, Strauss and Estebeth. These guys were everywhere and really mad an impact

The Bad: De Jongh, Steenkamp, and Hougaard, De jongh had one good step but hardly had any impact in the game. Steenkamp got folded a few times at scrum time. Hougaard never whent looking for work and knocked a few balls on

The Ugly

CJ and Flip Flow van der Merwe. CJ was a penalty machine and kept giving away 3 penalties in a row. Flip Flop got binned within being 3 minutes on the pitch.

Meyer needs to make some serious hard decisions

I could not have put it better than you did.   I still say that Hougaard went bad this year - he is frightfully bad on the wing.   Maybe a he  needs a better player inside of him.

De Jongh remains De Jongh - he did nothing more - nor less than he did in Super 15 this year - that is very, very little.

Steenkamp - not worthy to be in the squad.   Flippie did his normal - but really who the hell suggested that Van der Linde should be in the squad - he was not ugly - he was monstrously ugly.   And we have to face Ebgland with those drawbacks.   When will Meyer ever learn????????
