@bloemboy, I would love to see Pretorius and Lambie together. They would be a handfull for the opposition. Lambie just needs to get his kicking under control.

@ SACanuck, I think you are right. Based on his comments, they should choose a flyhalf like Lambie or Ebershon who will run it back and keep it more creative. The game has turned into a playground for the loose trio (in fact all 15 need to be adept loosies) and this is why the likes of SA and NZ have fared relatively well because they have additional loosies in their team like Bizmark or Meelamu. It does however reinforce the fact that you need fetchers in the loose such as Brussouw, and runners like Alberts. What you dont need is Spies that isolates himself. Then it doesnt matter how far he ran or how much benefit of doubt he is going to get, he will still lose the posession.

JS "The breakdown certainly has changed. What we've seen over the last year is that referees are giving the team with the ball the benefit of the doubt. And that's what you want to see. You want to see a team that respects keeping the ball having the upper hand" So why the hell do the Boks constantly keep kicking and give away possession?
