Abysmal Boks

Liam del Carme, writing for the South African Times, picks apart South Africa's dismal Tri-Nations performance.

"In the wreckage that is their Tri-Nations misadventure Down Under, the Springbok brains trust will find some home truths that will greatly influence the remainder of their term in office.

Apart from handing the Wallabies and the All Blacks momentum, the Springboks now also run the risk of being exposed on home soil which will further fuel their Sanzar partners' furnace heading into the World Cup.

Of course, the Bok selectors can call for the cavalry in the form of the Rustenburg 21 for the home Tests but if the point was not underlined sufficiently in Super Rugby, it was drummed home in the last two matches that the Springboks antiquated game plan needs renewal."
