Your 1st 5 should be cleaning out on short ball plays. Watch Carter he does it quite a bit each game particularly when Nonu takes the ball into contact.
Disagree. Plenty of good performances. Benny mc, quade defensively, mohen as well, genia not bad, plenty of bad performances as well Tomane being the worst3, 2, 1 will be tough. No one played very well. Fardy played OK.
Last thought:
Have just seen the replay of the Timani YC -- that's terrible. He didn't even make contact with JdV, let alone with his shoulder. The "leading" shoulder went right over the top. I think the Frenchman really lost control of the game on the discipline front (didn't think he was too bad otherwise, TBH).
Quade a knockdown wasn't that bad at first look. I agree about the game lost. We would of lost no matter what.Quade didn't get one for his intentional knock down so by your logic SA should've had one less too. The other calls were tough but it's certainly not where the game was lost.
Pumped for the decider on the highveld.

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) deserves a mention, if only for keeping Habana quiet

We can't catch a high bomb - Get AFL in. Get one of those kicking machines that they have in Gridiron, and put a 50 ball magazine in it and put it on fully automatic.
What was the purpose of that effort by Quade Cooper in the 2nd half where he walked up and did his stepping dance to beat one tackler, just like he did to RugbyReg in the video, only to have the next tackler nail him.
Quade, stuff that looks FIGJAM inside the training cones seldom works on the big field at Test level against fired up opponents, especially when you give the defence a week to orient themselves as you set up the move.
The X Factor miracle stuff may work in Soup, but just play some conventional team plays first please.
