[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 810289, member: 74121"] Funny to see Jantjies singled out for the two Canes tries, particularly Barrett one. I suppose the bungled lineout and the anticipation and speed of the best player on the park (while Jantjies was having to turn back in himself) had nothing to do with it. No doubt Jantjies had a poor game by his standard this season (as did many of his teammates) but he'd clearly been given bad tactics to be expansive in the first 30mins. When he switched to short kicks and up and unders he was perfectly fine (as did de Clerk). His performance the faded again when they went two scores down and had to chase the game against a notoriously fierce rush defence. He also was routinely receiving balls at neck and head height which doesn't make scanning the field any easier and I don't think he knocked on once despite the outbreak of butterfingers by his teammates in the wet. I also never saw anyone break the gain line against his defence. Anyone looking at this as a terrible performance at 10 needs to watch more France, Scotland and Italy internationals! On another note I'd say the ref was excellent from the very start. Far better than what I've seen from Gardner and Joubert in recent weeks. [/QUOTE]
