[QUOTE="austingtir, post: 596554, member: 54150"] He has not been put under any pressure what so ever which is why he looks so great. You guys are far to enamored by this guy. Face it the teams we have played in the last couple of years have been way below average. Both the boks and Australia are in a full rebuild phase. This will not last forever. I was expecting more from the springboks in this game.... but when i look back they are starting a 21 year old lock for christ sakes... he's certainly a great player but 21 year old lock starting for the boks in that test,.. when have you ever seen that? Du pee was way out of sorts and almost looked past it in this game which I fully didnt expect but playing in Japan or wherever he was its probably not a huge shock. Mark my words this will not last and when the pressure comes on Smith will be like a headless chook like the England game last year. A week ago in Argentina Smith was terrible. Argentina seems to be one of the few to figure a few things out they just cant sustain it for 80minutes.... YET. [/QUOTE]
