Elton Jantjies could have provided the necessary variety on attack for the Springboks against the All Blacks last weekend, writes Mike Greenaway.
If this hadn’t been the case, and Jantjies had been on the field for those last few crazy minutes, I reckon the Boks would have won, and that is because while the 31-year-old has his flaws, he is very good at recognising space and attacking it.
I cannot believe that when Pollard and De Klerk watched the game analysis, they could not see that, in some situations, kicking was the last thing they should have done, and had they moved the ball down the backline, tries were inevitable. We must not forget that Jantjies was the flyhalf for the Lions when they made three successive Super Rugby finals by playing exhilarating, attacking rugby.
