Anyone else watching this rubbish?

Sharks or more like Kockott vs the Reds and Steyn?

Steyn needs to cut his hair and go to France, PLEASE... He is getting worse and worse, knocks balls, takes drop goals with overlaps on the outside, doesnt pass... The list is endless...

All this while it seems like the Sharks only send half a team on to the field... Jacobs, Smit, etc. etc. You dont hear about them or see them doing ANYTHING... It seems like only Kockott jogged onto the field :/

PLEASE MAKE IT STOP.

That was the poorest excuse of a game. Steyn was absolute ***, he was poor, poor, poor! The backs where static and the set pieces where atrocious. A game I want to forget!

Before the season, they said they'll keep Steyn at inside centre and then we'll see him vs De Villiers for the Springbok spot. Well, there is absolutely no comparison or competition between them. De Villiers has been brilliant every game and Steyn has on average been poor.

Kockott didn't help with some poor passes to Steyn, but Steyn was pathetic today (again).

I believe Steyn to be a confidence player. He is making it hard for himself however with important off field issues. Added he has too higher expectations of himself and when he doesnt reach that he slumps.

He is still very young and appears to be in disarray. I reckon his dad should take him for a fishing trip or something similar and help settle clear his mind.

Yeah, I agree. All these negotiations with the French must be putting him under pressure (in his own mind at least).

A few players that are older than him have said they're not interested in negotiating overseas contracts, but will stay where their hearts belong. Although we'll have to see how things go after the B&I Lions Tour. Why is he at such a young age, worrying about his financial future already?

He's obviously not confident that he's going to get a Springbok spot, and I doubt he will, on current form - which I think is due to him worrying about where he's going to make his next couple of million. Vicious cycle.

Hope he finds himself a good position. But while De Villiers is fit, he's always going to be at most the number 2 inside centre - and on current form, he shouldn't even be in the squad. Sort yourself out Frans, you have too much talent! Maybe 1 year in France will be the tonic after all?

Francois Steyn has no discipline. And therefore is game is nowhere.
