He is struggling mentally on this level, by consistency, and indecision. A little-applied pressure on this stage eliminates him as a threat on pivot. Pollard didn’t do any better today, but when he came on it was catch-up rugby…He out did himself today.

Badly executed kicks (ignoring the weather), poor tackling and charge downs? He did well on the inside set-pieces, but he badly controlled the line on the wide.because of two knocks in terrible conditions, okay then
Eltons not an international fly half. Period. 26 caps in and it's blatantly obvious. Today's performance merely reinforces the fact. 2 knock on wasn't the half of it. He had a kick partially charged, missed tackles and missed a penalty goal. Many other errors but Tbh I wasn't paying much attention to the test beyond the first 20 minutes.Yeah, I'm not reading much into Elton's performance today. There were plenty of players who cocked up but Elton, much like DDA, is a player who people like to see fail. Reserving judgement on him for now. Those were brutal conditions to play in (and as someone who played rugby under that mountain for 8 years -in the same position no less-, I should know). Yeah, he dropped a few high balls, but others also knocked on and I don't see their heads being called for.

Nee Fanie, Elton was *** vandag, face it.because of two knocks in terrible conditions, okay then
yes he was, i'm just saying: take the conditions into account... also the rest of the teams performance. Even Duane had a schit game. Galant worst of all. Anyone that gave away a penalty yesterday should have a stern talking to, because that's what lost us the game imo.Nee Fanie, Elton was *** vandag, face it.
Is a flashy flyhalf really what we need though?Damian Willemse
