[QUOTE="d1e1m, post: 387025, member: 40554"] I think that speaks more towards how far Nonus fallen in form that he made Olivier look like a standout. I've never seen Wynand as more than a solid water-carrier sort, but i don't mean to demean the role, however Olivier is at best Emerging Boks material. Whats frustrating for Canes and AB fans is that we know he has great potential but this year he's been very sub-par. Smith on the other hand was working his butt off, poor guy. To woodward above me, I respect NOnu as a potential XFactor but SBW has to be considered his superior in most situations. In the end, the edge of experience Nonu has over him counts for naught if he's shows the lack of commitment he has been. And SBW has shown that even if his plans are to move on after the RWC, he's sure trying hard to make a claim to be the best 12 in world rugby. In regards to wings, sure we might not have a dominant wing since Sivi and Roks lost their form a bit but I think there are plenty of players capable of slotting in. Plus in last years TN, ABs showed they didn't need a star winger although Jane certainly was great during the tournament. [/QUOTE]
