The first test - Durban
After the first test played, I was impressed, but somehow (strangely even) I had no comments, I in fact had nothing to say. Maybe, because I'm a natural critic and there wasn't anything that I could criticise except for the fact that the back-line didn't really play as a back-line. Forgetting about that aspect, the Scots were outclassed on the day and the Springboks made it look easy. I would however reserve judgement...
The second test - Port Elizabeth
Then came the second test. I was ready to watch the game. Listened to the anthems, while I was busy with something else and missed the kick-off. As soon as I heard the match started I turned my undivided attention to what I thought would be a good game. My high hopes soon faded. Within the first five minutes Schalk Burger missed three (3) tackles and jumped on the ruck butt first, twice. Now I could easily ask, "What the hell are you trying to achieve by doing that?", but as I alsready said on this site, Schalk Burger needs to focus. This headless chicken play achieves nothing.
From this point on it was utter disappointment...
