[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 914822, member: 59145"] I think what happened here, was that the target man was actually PsdT and it went over him by quite a large margin. Anyway bad game was bad, basic handling errors, and line out issues continue to plague us, particularly at key moments, Willie had a shocker and knocked on a few balls at crucial times when it looked like we finally had space. Our forwards just weren't as dominant as we needed them to be, at best scrums were at parity, line-outs were woeful and our ball carrying was just alright. I said last week we are reliant on a few players to elevate our performance and when they are poor (like Willie and Faf) or when they just don't impose themselves on the game (like Eben or Marx) we just look ordinary. In any case this current SA team is poor in the wet, we know this. I'm too used to losing to really get that mad about it, still going to watch them every week, just with lowered expectations. Fully expect NZ to pummel us. Selection there is not much to do, all we can really do is stick with the same players and hope they come right. I don't see any magic bullets. [/QUOTE]
