As Jean de Villiers said, the team is not attacking (not at all really)
I want to see Pierre Spies in the backline in broken play, hitting the crash ball at full speed.
I want to see him and Schalk breaking from the scrum at set piece with the ball and setting up du Preez on the advantage line.
I want to see the centres doing scissors, dummies, long passes, taking it to the opposing backline.
On attack the backline is lying waaay too shallow. The guys have got no time before the defence is on top of them.
Seriously! Where’s some imagination, Dick Muir?
