[QUOTE="Sam Owen, post: 529836, member: 43087"] Yeah no doubt, the 'Boks will be back, everyone knows that and they will improve. If you watch that game again, look for how the 'Boks started. The intensity, tempo, hiss and roar was excellent. Better than their start in Dunedin. I dont want to point at fitness 'cos the 'Boks are seasoned athletes, they train harder than Rocky Balboa but its like that tempo and intensity they had at the start just dropped and faded. Its something Meyer might want to look at because when he looks at that game, he'll know the start was great from the 'Boks but then where did it all go wrong?...did the super active start drain the players?...I dont know. I think if the 'Boks maintained their momentum at the start they would've won. I wouldnt have gone to Goosen for the first penalty shot at goal. You wont goals, get Morne Steyn (worlds best). I would've kicked for a lineout (Bok strength) and gone for a maul (Bok strength). Wasnt Goosen brought in for his running and setting up?...like I said before, I felt Morne was more suited for this game. Yes you could argue he cost the Boks the game in Dunedin but apparently Dunedins stadium is hell for goal kickers. I dont think Ive seen Goosen play but Im sure hes good so JDV let the boy play his game. [/QUOTE]
