[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 870778, member: 40658"] The thing is that our fellow Saffa members seem to be overlooking the defensive efforts our guys put in, and rather focus on what they do on attack. Yet they seem to forget that the biggest improvement we've done between 2016 and 2017 is our defence and it's structures. We are making it frustratingly difficult for opposition to score from first phase possession, and if we look at the French series and the 2 tests against Argentina, the tries the opposition scored was from our mistakes on attack: [LIST] [*]Against France and Argentina, we've let a try be scored from a backline player either trying to put the grubber kick through or the chip over their heads and the ball popped just perfect for the opposing player to catch and get through. [*]Intercept tries [*]Missed tackles at Rhule's side. [/LIST] I think guys like Franco Mostert, Jaco Kriel, Jan Serfontein and Jesse Kriel aren't getting the props they deserve for what they do on defence. While guys like Elton, Kolisi and Skosan gets praised for what they do on attack... [/QUOTE]
