[QUOTE="AM_Bokke, post: 875483, member: 76028"] Excellent post. Basically how I see it as well. - I really want to like Elton, but yeah, we can't wait much longer for him to have a good game. I really want him to be dynamic kicking and passing but it is not there. He is not making an impact on the games. I would still start him against Ireland unless Pollard can dethrone him in training (when we are not watching). Otherwise, I want to see Bosch start Wales or Italy and go from there. He is young but if we are going to take him to the World Cup we need to start seeing him. - For the backline I think that Coetzee had a good tournament. I think that he is trying hard to not make mistakes so his game it a little bit conservative but what mistakes did he make? I can't remember one. I thought that he ran into contact very well, especial against the All Blacks. His long distance kicking isn't perfect but then again nobody's is. A lot of people that know more about Rugby than me really like Serfontein but I don't really know what separated him from the rest of the backline in terms of performance. The wings don't get the ball enough and I see him as a part of that problem. But yes, backs are a problem for the Boks. It is 100% what separated them from the Aussies. - Ross Cronje is not a world beater but I think he is a very good rugby player.
