[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 521897, member: 39190"] Is there any reason why Coetzee couldn't play at 8? Alberts is a must and Coetzee is the form loosie. I think between those two and Brussow we would have a very balanced backrow and there are enough ball carriers and line-out options to warrant Brussow's inclusion IMO. Just imagine how much more effective the offensive tackling of Etzebeth, F Steyn, JP Petersen and Alberts would be if we had all three of Bismarck, Brussow and Coenie Oosthuizen on the field to disrupt opposition breakdowns. The pressure game would well and truly be back on the cards; pin them in their own 22 and wait for the turn-over/fumble/kick back. Then we would just need to be accurate on the turn-over attack and counter attack off of fielding kicks from the halfway line. That's where we need Petersen, Taute, Aplon, Le Roux and the like in the outlying positions. We would need someone like Pienaar at 9 though. LOL, screw the expansive game if we can be accurate at throttling opposition again. I can get my kicks from the whinging comments like; "the boks are killing rugby". A balanced game would be best though and that's where Lambie at 10 comes in with Pienaar at 9. Scoring tries on the turn-over and counter attack would go a long way to 'not being boring' as well but we stick to our strengths along the way. With all the Sharks in the squad support play shouldn't be problem. [/QUOTE]
