I would say looking at the Boks, Kiwi's and Ozzies that all 3 teams are pretty much on the same form. Going to be an interesting Tri-Nations, whichever team manage to increase their form early in the TN will be the favourites to win the tournament. The real tests start in July, we will need all the ammo we can get for this tournament. Glad to see Schalk is ready as well as Wickus van Heerden. We will need these guys as Luke wont be any good against Nz/Oz. Nothing to spectacular about the Springboks this past weekend.

I think changes like that should be introduced at a steady pace, not Everything on one day. If it was NZ or Auss we would have paid BIGTIME!! I like exciting rugby but let us not forget our traditional game!!! A combination will be great but the core game (traditional physical) should stay.

Plenty of time for the bad times when they come. And trust me the opposition will let us know all about it.

Our defense is looking very shaky compared to the RWC though - I am not sure we should sacrifice that high ground in the 3N for the sake of a few more point-scoring opportunities from the backline...

Total wugby is fine provided there is discipline and there are plans and structures to it. Everyone running everything everywhere is asking to be punished. Surely even being a Derby Co or whatever supporter you should understand that planning and tactics are needed in team games. Hmm, or maybe not; only to succeed. By the way don't you think Brent Russell, that cheeky Joker lightie who played for Free State and a couple of other speedsters could have been developed into SA's Shane Williams to partner and pressure Habana? Oh bugger, the wing slot is job reserved. traps,

Just not sure if exciting is always the best route to go. Do we need both our wingers to be speedy - Reckon Pietersons not the runner that Chavangha is but hes a hard tackler, that could be usefull - Hope that when Schalk returns he´ll be able to beefen up the loose trio - I reckon Barrit should definately be a future consideration for the squad - with those changes we could have a strong mix of exciting attacking players with some hard hitters on defense - then maybe we wouldn´t have the soft tries scored against us like yesterday. - Hope you´re right Baba, this could be a tri nations year :)- Well if a depleted Welsh side could score four tries in two weeks against us what is a first team All Black side going to do?
