[QUOTE="cityrunner, post: 669916, member: 55755"] South Africa are MUCH worse than last year. Coaching staff have very few ideas, resorting to veteran 2007 players. SA have no shape to their game, very little strategy, and just hope to physically dominate their opponents. The ABs are going to destroy SA, and Australia have a very good opportunity to win in SA. SA are no-hopers for the World Cup, unless they are able to re-capture the form, and continue the tactical development that occurred in 2013. Steyn and Le Roux were poor at 10 and 15 today. International wing play has changed immeasurably over the last ten years. Unfortunately SA coaches hav'nt realised this. The SA wings need to look for opportunities and positions on the field in a much more pro-active way. They are capable players, but are not properly coached. Sad to see quite talented players playing such ad-hoc rugby, with no overall strategic or tactical awareness relating to their opponents. First half SA tactical kicking poor ! Second half SA tactical kicking better, but they use it too much, and don't understand when to kick and when to move the ball through the hands. There is a lack of field awareness, or confidence in being able to retain and recycle the ball. [/QUOTE]
