[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 528671, member: 40658"] I Agree totally with you. that's why I said all the teams will have to adapt. They implemented that tactic as there was time for them to do it, although, 4 seconds is a long time in rugby and I think there will still be time for them to do it. But with scrumhalves that clear so quick like Vermaak and Hougaard, I don't think it will bother the Bulls that much. Since HM's era at the Bulls, they learned to adapt pretty quickly to rule changes and to the way refs handle the matches. Next year is going to be something else, and I think the young guns will shine, not just the under-21 Bok champs, but just in general the youngsters. the pace of the game will suit the younger ones better that the older guys, and the margin for error will be bigger. so they will have a bit more freedom to play. I think guys to watch out for will be: Stormers (/Lions): Steven Kitshoff Siya Kolisi Pat Cilliers Eben Etzebeth Sharks: Anton Bresler (I'm not a big fan of him at all, but Eze praises the soil he walks on, so this is just for you Eze). Cobus Reinach Tim Whitehead Paul Jordaan Cheetahs: Raymond Rhule Willie le Roux Coenie Oosthuizen Marnus Schoeman (Griquas - with Brussouw out for 6 months, it will give this guy the best platform to slot in Brussouw's place) Bulls: Arno Botha Jan Serfontein Handre Pollard William Small-Smith JJ Engelbrecht Kings: Ah who cares about those assholes?
