Peter Bills does not hold back in his latest piece for the South African Independent.
"As for the South Africans, their game has atrophied for four years under coach Peter de Villiers. They will play the 2011 tournament much as they played 2007, hoping their big, physical forward pack, kicking half-backs and physically solid backs can repel all opponents.
For the sake of the game and its future, you have to say it would be a whole lot better if such a blinkered strategy failed."
