The media have more ammunition than Hezbollah building into this weekend Trinations encounter. The Springboks made strong motivation last weekend to rename the competition the Binations, whilst All Black coach Graham Henry choose the Bok result as a further reason to implement his ‘crazy scientist stroke gifted genius’ plan of player rotation making 8 changes to his victorious side.
Whilst I was reading all these off field factors that play interesting roles in the build up on the internet, the screen clouded over and celestial beings transported the Creator’s son to foreground and this is what Dan had to say:
"They have a lot of pride in their forwards and they have extremely good set pieces," Carter told the Supersport website.
"But at times they have no Plan B. When they're under pressure, they don't adjust to what's in front of them."
While the Boks will be keen to bounce back from last week's disaster in Brisbane and are determined to get the ascendancy up front, Carter feels there are other ways of beating the rush-defence.
"Things happen a lot quicker against the rush defence, but it can lead to opportunities in other areas. We definitely learnt a lot from the loss at Newlands last year," he said.
"You need to give yourselves a bit more space against a rush defence and the first-five [No.10] can do that by creating more depth for the rest of the backline.
"We've got plenty of skill out wide and the important thing is to realise if there's space out there."
This has got to be some of the most coherent stuff I have ever heard someone state in regard to SA rugby. I seriously doubt that those in the position to change these shortfalls are going to heed Danny’s warning.
And whilst we are in the area of rugby:
Big Wendell got his 2 year ban from rugby union after being found guilty by his tribunal. I don’t understand why he doesn’t get criminal charges against him but this could just be because he does live in a country sized prison anyway. Apparently there was controversy over his conviction because the prosecutors had little evidence to convict him but he arrived dressed like this, which means he must be doing coke…
This guy came up and asked if I wanted to buy a few grams, and I was like sorry bro but can you sign my 'tahs jersey..!
