[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 872197, member: 40658"] Well, we had Pollard on the bench and didn't use him. Which on one way of looking at it is understandable if it's a close game, but on the other hand, the question would be would he have changed the game for us? The thing is that we had to revert to playing a bit deeper than normal, because of Australia's rush defence. But the way in which Elton executed when recieving the ball, is what was worrying me. We never once tried the little chip over their heads for Serfontein or Kriel to chase, yet, we did that very well against France. We didn't use the up-and-under tactics, because our guys are not that good in the air as we used to be with JPP and Habana on the wings. Skosan and Rhule is not that good under the high ball. But it's a bit more complex than that. One thing that we have focused on this year is discipline, and not getting yellow cards. So limiting the contests in the air, prevents us from having a guy in the bin. Again, I don't think we can blame AC for EJ's execution. The ball came off his boot. If he can't kick into space, or find touch, then don't do it, do something else. Call an audible FFS! [/QUOTE]
