No he didn't. He plays the role of a loose forward. Put him at 7 or 8 any day, but please not 12.

Casuals that think a guy is good because he ran with the ball needs to stop.
 
Good team. Pollard and Willie fixes everything that Grant Williams does wrong in game management.
 
Can't get a real answer from Google, Gerhard Steenekamp is he injured?
Why is he not selected in the tour squad for Australia?

Expansive rugby is great until you lose

Expansive rugby didnt lose though, stupid rugby did and thats why it was so embarrassing.

Expansive rugby got us into a strong position to start, no reading the evolving situation, our core playmakers, positonal generals not adapting to changing tides, that lost us the game.

Its been two years now of the seeing the same thing from the same players at various levels of competition, URC especially, where we seen smart teams like Munster give people a blueprint of clear weaknesses of mind, character of certain SA players, regardless of their extraordinary talent and x-factor.

Talent and x-factor unfortunately mean nothing when you dont have the brains, temperament to use them wisely and effectively.

The same players have been getting caught out by smart teams for like 2 seasons now in URC and now we seeing it happen in currie cup this season too.

Rassie is an amazing coach, but he's still human, and am concerned he's got some 'golden boys' he sees as stars in the making, he sees all the potential, but not the cold reality. Hard for us all to comeback from that sort of view of others we have in our lives, on the pedastals expectant potential, so proud, and he is human, like us all, been the inevitable fall of many a king throughout time.

There are players who just do not have the mental strength, fortitude and rugby nous to play at the lvl needed and the next two years could be very long and painful as a result if those managing the ship dont manage to see it.
