[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 521750, member: 39190"] Gutted about Bismarck getting blindsided. I had hoped that with Smit out of the way now he could really come to the fore. We don't have a substitute for Bismarck. Other than that I am happy with the result. It would have been nice to secure a bonus point win but scoring 3 tries and keeping Argentina out of our in zone is good enough for me for a first game. I rate Argentina even if I thought they should have looked to play more creatively against us. Sure bring that pressure game against Aus because they might crack under it and you not going to out-'flair' them but at the same time your not going to out-'choke' us and a little flare might have been the better route to take against us. I'm not too sure how I feel about M Steyn and Kirschner having decent games... if HM can get the best out of them fair enough but 1 good game isn't enough for me. We'll see how it goes against the likes of NZ and Aus. The only major concerns for me remain - Pienaar is the premier 9 ATM - Our centers aren't creating any form of space for each other or the outbacks - We still need work at our own breakdown even if we aren't competing the oppositions. Losing Bismarck (and Oosthuizen against England) didn't help but he can't be expected to do all the work. Still no space for Brussow at the expense of Daniel? [/QUOTE]
