@slpyinsomniac@RugbyBits I think Deon gets booted out if Siya and Paul are both fit. No Manie baffles me. Playing 2 flyhalfs who dont get the backline moving at all. Theyll prob play up and under ball and stick to letting the forwards move the game along again.

@AnimeNerdSA@WesBez He is not our best 10. Most pedigree and clutch but thats also because hes the oldest. Backline wouldve been even more static if he was at 10.
@Jonathan_Witt@DannyvanVuuren Rassie was still very much involved, Nienaber is great but im sure 80% of actual rugby fans would say Rassie was still in the drivers seat. ' Director of rugby' title and not head coach meant he could be on the sidelines directly and not up in the coaches box ...
@tertius_kruger@PlayingThe_9@RugbyBits Agreed, tends to force things when his a bit rattled. Deff had some errors yesterday but dont think the blame is on him. Deff tactical error and gameplan that fell apart.
@slpyinsomniac@RugbyBits Id also say I dont think we have as much Depth as we think haha. I think the we have a definite First side and second. First half we were solid, Bomb squad had 0 impact last night. We were spoilt with an inform Bongi and Marx rotating ina nd out.
@slpyinsomniac@RugbyBits Deffs a safer option. When the 6/2 split works, It works. I'd be suprised if we dont play 6/2 next week. I wonder if Hooker or Canan gets a game. I have Edwill as my 3rd choice wing. Big trouble if both KLA and Kolbe out next week tho. Pollard prob starts then too
@slpyinsomniac@RugbyBits I think Williams on the wing was too risky, his defence wasn't good and he wouldve been outclassed in the air. That midfield shuffled messed up tons - Doogz somewhat quiet. Jesse invisible on the wing. Gameplan just fell apart it seems. Outclassed
