1. Still need a fly half, only Willie was coming into the #10 did we get backline momentum. You can send Willemse back to home, the experiment with him @ 10 failed. Willemse is full back but at the moment Willie is playing better.
2. What are we going to do about kicking, was hopeless again today, Manie gave me hope when he came on but that hope also faded.
3. I'm glad we won but winning Italia should not be a measure for anything. Can we win England? I hope so but I'm not sure.

1. Agree, send Willemse home if the only option is for him at 10.

2. Manie might be a good option, it was his first game today and he only missed 1 I think?

3. Italy did beat Australia, so that gives some hope that we beat a fairly decent team today. Eben made a huge impact when he came on and we missed pstd, so I worry what happens when we don't have a few of these guys

I agree with Rassie but we aren't going to change anything, and we end up just not getting the calls.

Last night SA A was pathetic, but officials are just not giving us anything and I wonder how much of this is due to Rassie?

Fair contest we are winning the ball but gets cleaned out from a completely offside position and all of their players go off their feet right in front of the official and this end up with a penalty for Bristol Bears.

Then there are the comments made in public by Eddie Jones and Dave Rennie. I don't recall any sanctions from World Rugby yet Rassie is banned so quickly without a hearing and now we have World Rugby CEO speaking out saying he is concerned about the criticism from Rassie etc etc.

I would have expected something from WR about the Australia vs New Zealand saga in TRC but there was nothing.

There is the slight difference there. All of jones rennie, ect are coaches. Rassie is a director of rugby. The standards expected from directors are usually much higher.
 
Next week is going to be tough as we may be without several first choice players since the match against England falls outside of the international window and many players will be expected to rejoin their clubs. Will have to wait and see who we lose before determining our chances I reckon.
 
What a comeback from England, fukc that was great rugby to watch.
