What is Willemse doing in the team if he doesn't even take the kicks?

I dont think the Boks were THAT bad tbh - aside from the mistakes the Boks had a solid period of dominant play - there are definitely positives ahead of the RWC

I really thought we had a good chance to beat them but a 15 point losing margin is just sad.

I agree. We had a horrible start and made some really rudimentary mistakes during the game. All of these things can be fixed.
I do think we need Pollard back for the big games.

Maybe, but we keep giving them good starts. Have we learned nothing?

Personally I think that a loss like this is what we need before the world cup. Provided we learn from these mistakes.
But yeah we really need to play better at the start. It's as if the players take a while to wake up.
I didn't think we had a chance at all to be honest.
I think the world ranking is pretty accurate. Us at 4th and we lost against Ireland, France and New Zealand so we just can't win against them and I got a bad feeling about the World Cup. I don't think we will be able to retain it.

Chances aren't that great but we have something on our side. Our depth. (Except for flyhalf which is a worry).
Some of the other teams are weakened considerably when players get injured.
I still feel positive for the world cup. Going to be bloody difficult though!

Correct but too early for doom and gloom. i will remain positive till we slip up in the WC
We need things to go a bit in our favour though. Like we need to win our pool and we need like a good team to get knocked out from the other pools I can't say that we will dominate. It's going to a roll of a dice.

Perhaps drink out of a smaller glass then it wouldn't be half empty all of the time?

Lots of schoolboy errors, and stupid stuff, some players looked a bit rusty at first. Probably the inconsistent team selection.
But it dit look great when we were on attack. Looks really promising for the world cup.

Let's ben honest everyoine keeps talking about the World cup it's like we don't care about any other milestones. All our eggs are in the World Cup basket.
