After watching the Bokke warmup mess against  Connacht I have serious doubts about our World Cup changes.

Its always easy to grade the players one by one but the Bokke problems lies much deeper then that.  The same question still remain unanswered and has deepen in this match.

We seems to struggle away from home and I keep on asking myself why?

The Irish province and my knowledge of the old midweek tour games gave me the answer.

Throw the All Blacks midweek team in the Groot Gat at Kimberley and they will also struggle. The last time they played this small Irish province the score wasn't very much bigger.

This brings the next question. Did we learn our lessons this year?  We still have a decent 'A' team but thats about it.

The measure stick in rugby is the All Blacks. They made us pay in Durban with the impact players from the bench. Jake used the away leg of the trin-ations to try and find some players with impact. After last night I think we took a backwards step.

Hopefully the 'A' team will produce on Saturday against the Scots. We need to play with the same amount of passion and hunger the English and the French showed in their clashes ,otherwise its home James, and no extra baggage needed for ANY cups...
