After the Boks lost 26-20 to the Barbarians, praying hands tattoo a flattering scoreline that consigned De Villiers’s side to their 11th defeat in their last 20 matches if you include losses to Saracens and Leicester, he had this to say: “It praying hands tattoo was a very good year, one of the best of my life,’ De Villiers said of the Boks’ eight from 15 win record in 2010.
‘The scoreboard did not look good, but it was a good year because we pulled together through adversity. I now understand each individual better. If one looks at the scoreboard from the past year then you all have the right to be critical. We lost the game today, but won in other areas. This was not a Test match. It was a test of our young players and depth. We won that test and lost the game.”
How De Villiers can say they passed the BaaBaas test is perplexing. Yes, some players got the opportunity praying hands tattoo to play for the Boks, but Coenie Oosthuizen and Elton Jantjies’ debuts for the senior team ended in a disappointing defeat.
Before the BaaBaas fixture a former Bok said he wouldn’t mind if a young Bok side lost, if they at least looked dangerous in trying to play an attractive brand of rugby. But the Boks disappointed the few fans who did pitch up to Twickenham (which illustrates their standing in the world game at the moment) as they opted for kicks at goal and generally praying hands tattoo didn’t move far away from their conservative and one-dimensional approach with ball in hand.
Many fans would be satisfied if the Boks continually ‘won ugly’, but their one from six record in the Tri-Nations and the results since the completion of last year’s southern hemisphere tournament emphasises that that’s praying hands tattoo not happening regularly enough.
With under a year to go to the World Cup it’s clear De Villiers will remain with the side as the players try to steer an already woefully off-course ship. As De Villiers mentioned earlier this year, the Bok camp has adopted a laager mentality where they will continually ignore deserved criticism that comes their way.
Not much will change in the Bok set-up or playing style before New Zealand 2011, and De Villiers will be relying heavily praying hands tattoo on Fourie du Preez’s return from injury (the Bok scrumhalf manning the microphone and communicating tactics during the home leg of the Tri-Nations shows how much influence he has in the side).
That the Boks are relying so heavily on one player to execute their out-dated game-plan and ignite their limited attack, also highlights the regression that’s taken place when they should be dominating world rugby with the players they have.

good news does not sell
Also reading Snor’s comments my perception is NOT that he says 2010 was a success from a winning and losing perspective… I see him saying that it was a success from the perspective that the team faced adversity together and pulled through which is character building… I tend to agree.
I’m agreeing far too much with you lately, something must be wrong Reply

ps.
And one of the main reasons they adjusted praying hands tattoo their back-three to include three full-backs and standing deeper this year… Kiwi’s have never liked to be on the back foot (and without possession)… their only real weakness when going through these sublime patches… Reply
