[QUOTE="unrated, post: 913308, member: 45773"] I was very happy with the manner of the victory. Six tries to three secured a bonus point and really thats the most we can ask of our guys. Pollard missed a lot of his kicks and the score reflected that in the end. Obviously we should keep playing him though, no need to get Jantjies back for the next game based on the kicking performance of Pollard. Our forward pack was immense, the Argentinian coach said he believed that they were the most physical pack in the world. If we replace Whiteley with Vermeulen and Kolisi with JLDP then they will really be a physical team. I can imagine a team with Thomas the tank, Kitshoff, Marx, PSDT, Etzebeth, Vermeulen, JLDP, and Coetzee. That pack can beat the All blacks any day. The Pumas will be very tough at home, i hope Rassie resists the temptation to make too many changes to the starting team, otherwise i fear we have a big chance to lose the next fixture. Standouts for me was: Marx - Again got about 4 turnovers and general play was outstanding but his line out throwing was average Etzebeth- Just got back from an almost year long injury enforced absence and he played the full 80. He made some good runs PsdT- Was just a good allrounder Dyanti and Mapimpi - very clinical for our wingers ! scoring 2 tries each. AM - he was good allround [/QUOTE]
