[QUOTE="William18, post: 530245, member: 38439"] If players start to get found out they should be replaced. I think it is important we don't preempt that though. A lot of people said in 2009 that Thorn wouldn't have made it to the world cup. But he did. Now, we could have gotten rid of him in 2009 but I think everyone can see that that would have been a huge mistake. South Africa's problem was that they held onto players (Smit) for far too long when it became clear that they were past their best. The challenge is to introduce new players so that you have clear replacements while continuing to win. [/QUOTE]
