NZL vs SA, yesterday.
A huge difference for me personally was Esterhuizen & Moodie combination.
PS: ( Esterhuizen could be somewhat of a liability on defence with his "method " of tackling, regarding various newish laws in that aspect)
de Allende is extremely solid on defense, however in my opinion he doesn't do much with ball in hand, his a strong carrier, but hardly passes, looks for a gap, breaks looks for an opportunity to attack, he just lacks certain skills for an international IC at this stage.
As for J Kriel his very inconsistent and wouldn't be my first choice, I just think C Moodie really has some special skills, and his defence is also noteworthy.
I think T Nyakane, D Vermeulen best days are also past them now, there's better players currently that could have replaced them.
Surely Etzebeth & Snyman is our best combo, Snyman is world class, it's fantastic having him back in great form.
Difficult decisions to make regarding wings, with the likes of Kolbe, Arendse, Mapimpi, my personal preference would be leave Moodie on 13, Kolbe & Arendse as starters, and yes I'm aware both are of smaller physique, but I believe Arendse is just slightly better all round than Mapimpi currently.
FYI I do despise the All Blacks
far more than any other team. I feel that they're and always have been getting away with ill discipline, unfairness and biased on the field and has and currently still are the "blue eyed boys" in the IRB's and World Rugby's eyes and everyone just pussyfoots around them.
