[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 874421, member: 59145"] I'm actually not that upset weirdly, obviously we should be winning at home agaisnt the Aussies but they are actually a very handy team. As for the Bokke, we are a bit of polish, a coach and a few selections away from being a very handy team. More to come when I've poured over the highlights a little more but in summary - I can't point to a single player who really let the team down in terms of performance (maybe Dreyer). We need to be more clinical on attack, too often we're knocking on, or making a poor decision at the end of a promising move. We need to be more structured on defense it's always going to be hard to win a game where the opposition scores 27 points. Eben is a terrible choice at captain. We looked much better when we started to play the ball flatter rather than deep, Elton is much more suited to that game which we saw more in the second half of the game. Also Kriel looks 100% better when he receives the ball at pace rather than when he gets a static start and naturally starts to crab-walk. Coetzee is not the answer I feel, to be fair on him he's not an awful player, but he's not at the same level the other Tier 1 nations full-backs. I could live with it if he was nothing but solid every game, but he's not even managed to be error free lately. We need time but I wasn't too disappointed with the performance. [/QUOTE]
