[QUOTE="George Ford, post: 811111, member: 74118"] Important to note we faced the Irish at the end of their international season so, as a team, they were a whole 6-nations championship older than our new players coming together for the 1st time - hence we cracked in the 1st test, therefore credit must be given to the team for managing that come from behind series win eventually. But yes, performance wise we were way below standard. It also appears as if AC is becoming a bit irritated at the questions being asked from the media in press conferences. Particularly the part when he shunned off a question on a proposed gameplan and stressed more on basics such as getting the set-pieces right, having a good scrum setup, which he is probably directing at the players mostly come match-day. The Irish test series was a merely getting out of the blocks for them as a coaching personnel and the real acid test is obviously the RC as other factors such as playing away and travelling comes to fore. Ditto for his assistants. Also just want to mention the magnificent start from our Blitzbokke coming off 2 magnificent wins and not conceding any tries in either matches. Good stuff boytjies !
