totally outplayed by a poor Kiwi side. On paper SA have a team that should have hammered this side instead of getting hammered themselves. Poor lineout display and giving the ball away to easily was the downfall. De Villiers is wasted on the wing. A lot of hard work lay ahead this week otherwise another hiding is in store in Wellington next Saturday. Leave Bakkies out as he is a liability.

Botha has got what he deserved. Lets hope that it was the last time that he has pulled the Bok jersey over his head (unless he goes to a match as a fan)

8 tries to 2 over the two matches shows that we have gone backwards and its time for new blood. It puts it into context when the Welsh conceded the same amount of tries in their two matches against the All Blacks in June.

The tri nations is gone for SA and it would not suprise me in the least if the Wallabies put over 30 points on us next weekend.

Richie McCaw has got to be the Mark Von Bommel of rugby. He seems immune of getting a yellow card.

Yes the Boks were not great, but I don't thinl it's necessarily time for 'new blood'; I think the injured players (Fourie du Preez, Heinric Brussouw, JP Pietersen) will make a big difference

The beast and Smith the flanker will also make a big difference.

Agree with the Beast, but imo we need a 'fetcher' (Brussouw) and a scrumhalf who can read the play better than January - also de VIlliers should move back to centre where Olivier brings nothing on attack and very little on defence - just my opinion,

agree fully with you regarding De Villiers as he is wasted on the wing. His movement into the centre position result in Rossouw scoring his try today. Januarie has been poor as has been Smit and Steenkamp. The only players to come out of these two matches with their reputations still in tact are Burger,Spies and Fourie. The rest were either average or poor.
