[QUOTE="dan-the-man, post: 422327, member: 50929"] Yes but the things I pointed out all came true. Morne showed his uselessness and Smit showed his complete lack of attacking leadership. This upcoming RWC will NOT be won on defence, as rugby is a different sport then it was just 4 short years ago. It's all about attack now, and when you are lead by Smit and Peter de Villiers, wins are going to be hard to come by. I pointed out that the crash-ball tactic and the up-and-unders will be a major factor in the Springboks most certain oncoming year of disaster. As I predicted, Pienaar, Steyn and Olivier messed up many opportunities for the Springboks on attack. I think all can agree that the "first choice" Springboks also would have lost yesterday. Genia and Cooper showed us what retards Pienaar and Steyn are. Kicking a box-kick down the opposition fullback's throat, contrary to popular belief, does NOT make you a "tactical kicker". It makes you an idiot that keeps giving away your teams possession. Genia and Cooper hardly kicked yesterday, and when the Aussies kick it's mostly low, far ones for the corner to gain territory. Oz were also so much better at running, as they do little loops and run through gaps, where as the Springboks just think "Oh! Ek is (Afrikaans for I am) so tough! Ek kan (I can) run straight through everyone! Let me run straight at the defence because I'm so hardcore!" and then BANG! Either 5 metres lost or a knock-on. This about sums up the game plan of SA rugby. How do you expect to win when you play like this? [/QUOTE]
