    2:37 South Africa had pinned Scotland back on their try line for most of the opening 15 minutes; DVDM made that break, Scotland got a penalty a phase or two later and it was 3-0. His ability to get you out of trouble is amazing.

    • @Karma-qt4ji
      @Karma-qt4ji Год назад +16

      I can't speak for all South Africans, but personally I am glad we don't have him. In this year's 6N alone, Ireland scored 3 tries and England scored 2, all through him. We pride ourselves on our defence and he just seems to always be found wanting; only three clips of tackles in an 8 minute video and two of those three were bog standard tackles that any player at this level simply has to do. Makazole, Cheslin, Canaan, Sbu, Kurt-Lee *all* have a better work rate and when you consider that the leading try scorer from last year's URC (Leolin Zas) is not good enough to make the squad then you start to understand how far down the list Duhan would end up. Great player with ball in hand, but that is only ever going to be half the game..

      Nah, I'm sure some Saffas are disappointed he left, but I'm glad for his sake. He simply would not have enjoyed the same success here, we have so many talented outside backs. Still very proud of him and wish him plenty of success.

    Can't lie I think he's not that good at rug. He has almost no understanding of defense, his kicking game is poor and he's not amazing in the air. Hes like the new Chris Ashton. Every so often he makes some incredible runs, and has speed and power, but he is nothing compared to Penaud.
