[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 913341, member: 40658"] I thought of the same thing. In fact I had a bit of Deja Vu when Argentina intercepted his skip pass. It was the exact same kind of pass he threw during the JWC earlier this year before he got injured. Yeah I'm happy about the progress. Etzebeth back in his first match since being out more than 6 months, and it looked like he was match fit and has been playing all season. But there were some glaring issues that bothered me: 1. Missing 5 lineouts 5m out from the tryline, and not being able to use the driving maul is unacceptable. Don't know if it's Marx's fault or the jumpers, but they need to work on their communication. 2. Warren Whiteley - Was he on the field? 3. Pollard's Kicking at goal - he needs to work on this, the rest of his game is pretty good though. 4. Am's handling - he knocked the ball on a few times when going into contact, and it seems like he's unsure where to put the ball at times. Other than that, I can't complain too much about the result. We did what we had to do to get the win with a bonus point. Yes, our team is still a work in progress, but the shape it's taking is beginning to excite the fans. In fact I was surprized to see how full the stadium was, especially after the reports on Friday that less than half of the tickets were sold for the game by Friday afternoon 12:00. So a lot of people actually went and bought tickets at the stadium on Saturday. [/QUOTE]
