[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 339943, member: 39190"] Both teams played pretty badly but I'm glad the Bokke got there in the end. Still tons for both teams to work on. We need a decent backs and/or defence coach/consultant. Dick Muir should have gone ages ago and I started to get enthusiastic when PDivvy mentioned something to that effect but nothing came from it. Matfield only made one steal in the line-outs and had a pertty mediocre game otherwise, the rest where van der Merwe, Spies and Smith. Not saying we should drop him but the guy needs a rest like no-one else in rugby ever. Same for Habana who along with Matfield gifted the Aussies soft tries. Frans Steyn looked so off the pace and his poor return kicks saw us get a try against us and lose massive field position and it put lots of pressure on the defence. he is another one that needs to play some Currie cup and Super 14 before making a case to be included in the national team. Smit is past it. Time to move on. There are more than enough experienced captains in the squad (Matfield, Smith, de Villiers, Burger). My team for next week: Guthro Steenkamp Bismarck du Plessis Brok Harris Flip van der Merwe Danie Rossouw Schalk Burger Juan Smith Duane Vermeulen Francois Hougaard Morne Steyn Bjorn Basson Juan de Jongh Jacque Fourie JP Pietesen Gio Aplon I would have liked to have Morne Steyn also take a break but couldn't think of a replacement.. James? Not convinced. Peter Grant would have been my choice but he is in Japan. Lambie a good prospect.. maybe throw him in at the deep end? Please not Pienaar. Other guys that should come in when fit: Brussouw, Botha (if he starts playing the ball and not the man), Bekker, du Preez. Matfield and Habana to take an extended break. Wher I would like to see improvements: defence and ball distribution and some accurate kicking for a change, man we are missing du preez. [/QUOTE]
