First mobile blog - Pre-kickoff australia vs south africa
Right. Since I have no time anymore, I'm trying something new. Micro-blog snippets via mobile.
It's minutes to go before the third tri-nations test of 2010 against australia.
We've had to endure three weeks of hell. Two pathetic efforts against a much improved all blacks team.
All credit to the all blacks. They look a different team from last year. The soaring springboks seem to have inspired them to lift their intensity. It seems true that new zealand loves nothing more than a real challenge against the old enemy.
What a pity the boks failed to show the same spirit in attacking the number one irb spot. Instead they lacked intensity - nowhere more evident than their missed tackle stats.
But let's also highlight the form of some passengers: januarie, spies and smit are completely off.
De villiers only knows why januarie has sniffed a bok place. His service is atrocious and his tactical kicking worse.
Spies maybe the most over-rated bok in history. Yes his pace and athleticism are impressive. But he DOES disappear in tight games. And not only is his missed tackle count is alarming: he misses the crucial tackles.
Smit is still the best choice as captain. Although schalk must rate as up and coming based on the s14 stormers performance. But smit is overweight and missing tackles as a result.
Anyway, the game about to start. Key issue today is the crazy selection of kankowski on the flank. Why they dropped louw only the coaching staff know. Replacing spies would have been much better.
The other issue is the defensive alignment. It's been terrible. And more and more I believe muir's poor coaching performance is evident.
Let's hope the boks step up today.
