I am also yet to understand his player selection criteria. Why the hell was Oscar "Wheels to burn" Ouma starting off the bench? Why play Injera as scrum-half yet his impact is best felt on the wings?
Look Treu unlike Moyes is on a real long term project. He is getting our guys to play differently and to our strengths. This is obviously going to take some time but when it will eventually get there. Our natural way of playing involves speed, space, agility and faster movement of the ball. Friday had gotten us to start playing like England which is fine but really will not win us any cups because towards the end of his tenure we had already become easy to read and close down. Powell is enjoying Treu's years of working. SA is playing the same way they were playing for the past 4-5 years only that you have players who Treu picked from the schools maturing into fine players. There is hardly anyone Powell has added and the team is playing the same way.
Remember our guys were already 'bodies' and conditioned to being battering rams, getting them out of that and turning them into speed merchants may take a few tournaments but when it does happen me thinks we will be devastating on the pitch.
So lets give Treu time. This guy has won 2 series with 2 generation of players and rebuild several teams from scratch. Friday didn't win much with England.
