[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 521605, member: 24910"] Meh. Not the most exciting game of rugby, but there were a few good moments. Losing du Plessis early was a blow for the Boks, and now I see that he has been ruled out for the rest of the season. Struass played very well (and I am quite a fan of his), but he is not du Plessis. Bekker dominated the lineouts, and I thought both Alberts and Coetzee had strong matches, but Daniel was very quiet. Hougaard actually made a couple of good box-kicks this week, but still looked better when shifted to the wing. Probably the three most criticized Boks backs - Morne Steyn, Habana and Kirchner - all had pretty good games in my opinion, it was good (from the Boks perspective) to see Steyn looks to have recovered his goal-kicking form... Argentina did some good things, but gave away too many penalties, and need to kick their goals to be competitive at this level. In general I thought Roncero and the locks were pretty solid, and (as has been mentioned) Fernandez Lobbe was everywhere. Camacho was easily the most dangerous Argentine back for me, and I though Fernandez looked solid at 12. [/QUOTE]
