As his surname suggests, Mzwandile Stick isn't one to spare the rod. The Springbok backline coach believes one of the main reasons South Africa fumbled against Ireland was that support runners were not pressed into action.Said Stick: "The spaces were out there. It was the way we didn't get into those spaces. In order to get in there you have to do the hard work. Punch holes in the middle first."I think the guys got too excited. All of them. A guy like Willie [le Roux] always wants to be in that space. At times I think we became too selfish."Indeed, Le Roux drifted like a car in The Fast and The Furious, which meant space was at a premium near touch.Much of what the Boks pored over in the aftermath of the defeat in the first Test involved poor decision-making. Scrumhalf Faf de Klerk and Elton Jantjies have been fingered in certain circles but Stick was loath to confine blame."As a team we failed to manage the game. If you are up against 13 players you are supposed to win the game. We played far too much rugby in our half. We need to play in the right places."It is that lack of tactical ingenuity that frustrates inside centre Damian de Allende, who spent much of the afternoon trying to fend off defenders behind the advantage line.De Allende believes the Boks must make smarter decisions."When to keep the ball or when not," he said."Where to play the game. Although they were two players down at one point we played too much rugby in our own half. We could have put the ball in space in their half and played from there."De Allende, who missed much of Super rugby this season after injuring his ankle in Japan, admitted that he was short of a gallop. He builds confidence by putting in the yards."I feel I'm still struggling to get a bit of confidence. I'm getting better week by week. It is tough getting back from injury. I'm trying to stay positive and work as hard as I did last year."On one memorable occasion, De Allende was responsible for mayhem in the Irish defence which, after some soft hands by Jantjies, led to a try for Lwazi Mvovo."Damian ran a good line. I'm not sure about the comments where they say it was obstruction," said Stick in reference to a post-match comment by Supersport analyst Nick Mallett."I'm not sure if I understand obstruction."Obstruction for me is when a player runs in front of me. If the pass goes behind it is called a blocked line. I'm not sure who is a professor of rugby," Stick said pointedly...
