[QUOTE="TRF_Ezequiel, post: 520358, member: 42683"] There is a reason why Butch James was the starting fly-half and not Derick Hougaard back in 2007. Hougaard is a very static player, just like Morne Steyn. It might help if your whole gameplan revolves around him, but with the pack that is playing now (Bismarck, Coetzee, Mtawarira, Etzebeth) is full of players who are used to a different style. They play in a team that is more all-round and the pack is not there just to please Morne Steyn the way they do in Pretoria. It might sound wrong, but Morne Steyn is bakkie-engine stuck in an Audi car. It doesn't work. [/QUOTE]
