  Henry certainly is working with a well oiled machine in this squad.
  Sonny Bill is the real deal and baring injury I expect him to become somebody that is talked about for a long time to come.

  Indeed!

  I like Sonny Bill William’s ability to offload through the tackle

  @ grootblousmile:
  He will change the way that part of the game is coached in future.
  He is that person who comes along not very often and changes the way things are done for the better.
  Rugby needs that kind of new thinking.
  I was amazed to see his handling against Scotland when he does not pass the ball with 2 hands even when he has time to do so.
  He will bring new thinking to passing skills.

  Great team, hope they beat the Irish.

  But back to matters closer to home.
  I read somewhere else that the Boks have called up Bandisa Maku, Charl McCloud(?) and Odwa Ndugane.

  Be on the lookout, once that thread comes up (and I wake up), Im gonna be on it like white on rice.

  Watched the game now… Sonny Bill Williams’ hands are very good…. and like you say that one-handed passes are something we’re not used to.

  Scotland fronts up well at times, just to leak the silliest of tries….. much like the Bokke.

  Well constructed backline running like we saw from the All Blacks here unlocks the Scots….

  Question is, have the Bokke the ability at present to construct backline play like that?
