@NTA how do you get this?
Willemse is a fullback pretending to be a flyhalf most of the time. However, he also possess a distribution game where the entire Bok plan is still running on kick-and-bash. Maybe over time he and the wingers can make something of it, but he's a square peg in a round hole at the moment.
Le Roux is a total flake. The strategy of him joining as first receiver is to cover Willemse's deficiencies, but his defence is suspect and his temperament has always been crap. Much better at provincial level where he was carving up second-rate D lines.

It's Italy they were playing against.
@The-Irishman yes, they beat the Wallabies last week.
It's not about the opponent or scoreline.
It's about the gameplan the Boks played.
Box kick up and under fest Dore rugby vs running rugby.

@NTA I hope you watched the Italy test. The proof is in the pudding with Willemse, Willie and Libbok. They can change that dore Bok backline into a try scoring machine.

Firstly, there is no response I can provide where you think I'm right, so this will be short.
- I think you'll also remember I said that Willemse could make something of his combination with the wingers, but that he wasn't much more than a fullback playing 10. AND I said Le Roux was a flake who was good at carving up second-rate defensive teams.
Secondly, it was Italy.
Third: I'll watch the game because I'm bored and the weather is crap, but I'll bet it is about as impressive as watching paint dry. My prediction: Bok forwards bash holes in an Italian defensive line that wasn't very impressive against a Wallaby "B" side, and then given the backs space to work.

You need to live in Palmy for a few years, then you wouldn't be worried about the light spring breeze today.
