THE NEED FOR SPEED I left the TV to play the last few minutes of the Tahs/Saders SR final to an empty lounge. I had seen what I was looking for. An article with good insight appeared in a Brit rugby newspaper column recently, stating that Heyneke Meyer and Tahs coach Ceica are leading the new revolution in rugby, balancing skill, strength and speed. I looked for it in the SR final and yes it is there. It is what killed Richie all game, driving him to unfair play and leaving Craig Joubert no option but punish him. And by the way, Ndolos try was not a try, just a very suspicious mistake by a TV ref. The Tahs should have won by 8 points, not 1. Looking at the Springbok squad announced yesterday, Heyneke selected speed and cut the dead wood as Rob Houwing explains it this morning on sport24. Do not be surprised if Cornal Hendricks, Handre Pollard, Cobus Reinach, Frans Malherbe and Oupa Teboho gets the nod for the 23 man squad. I believe that the race to play the quickest test game of rugby is on, fueled by the new directions in Oz and SA. Who will be the dinosaur?
