[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 812436, member: 40658"] The thing is though, that this was the first time De Allende and Mapoe has ever played together as a centre combination, and it would have been a miracle had they clicked from the start. They had to grow together and understand what either of them can bring to compliment the other one. Along with that, De Allende was terribly out of form. Which I think isn't the case anymore, the question is how well they will play together as a combination when both of them are on form. And here I'm a firm believer that if you have a player that is Springbok Quality and his centre pairing at franchise level is also Springbok quality, then pick them together as a unit, as it will just be easier for them to work together. And to grow confidence in what they should do for the Bokke. It worked when De Wet Barry and Marius Joubert were our go to pair as well as when Jean De Villiers and Jaque Fourie were the pair.
