[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 870690, member: 39190"] I wouldn't agree. I'd have Serfontein and Kolisi as 50/50 for MVP and then I'd have a hell of a lot of players in ahead of Kriel who finished his opportunities well but I mentioned I have reservations and I still do. I won't climb in too harshly about his defense as Rhule puts a lot of undue pressure on his centers and cover defense. I am still of the opinion we have better options even if we have to move Serfontein to 13 to get them in. Continuity is good if its positive but do we really want to continue to have to make up for Rhule out wide and have Hougaard crab across the line before delivering hospital passes to those outside him? Aus are gonna make us pay on the wing. France and Argentina have let us off lightly and we are fooling ourselves if we think we can carry a wing who refuses to tackle indefinately. I have been really impressed by Jantjies. Especially with Hougaard inside him giving him that little bit less time. I agree we can afford to carry players who have in the past shown what they can do. I just don't think Hougaard has a positive track record at 9 and Rhule's record on defence has been dire vs France and in SR so that is really all we can expect. [/QUOTE]
