In the ever-evolving landscape of international rugby, timely surges in form can play pivotal roles. Amidst the concerns arising from Lukhanyo Am's injury and the wavering form of Damian de Allende, Andre Esterhuizen emerges as a beacon of hope for South Africa's midfield conundrum. In this video, we break down Esterhuizen's sterling performance against Argentina, where he once again proved his mettle and showcased his readiness for the grand stage.
Esterhuizen, coming off a remarkable game against Australia, continued his stellar run. Against Argentina, he demonstrated not only the brute strength and impactful carries we've come to expect but also an adeptness in distribution and an unwavering defensive prowess. His performance seems to have cemented his place as a formidable option for the Springboks, especially at such a critical juncture.
What stood out most in his performance was his adaptability. He brought his trademark power play, ensuring valuable go-forward ball. Yet, he was far from a one-dimensional player. Esterhuizen's distribution, a skill often overshadowed by his size and strength, shone brightly, offering a dynamic option in the midfield.
With South Africa gearing up for the World Cup, such performances are not only reassuring but essential. Depth in squad choices is vital for any team's success. Esterhuizen's form suggests he might just be the answer to the Springboks' midfield questions.
Revisit his brilliant game against Australia and draw comparisons. Dive deep into his gameplay, strategies, and the potential solutions he offers for the Springboks. As always, your feedback and insights are invaluable. Share your thoughts, and let's discuss the evolving future of the Springboks' midfield together.

I think each and everyone of us Springboks faithful are hoping the answer is a resounding “yes” 🙏🇿🇦

@tasanalytics Год назад

He's done everything that's been asked of him. If he puts in another good performance and De Allende has another bad one, I think there's a good chance he becomes the starter. Because for us to win this World Cup, it's obvious that we need to take risks with the loss of Am, Pollard and Lood.

@FairweatherRugbyFanXXX Год назад

@@tasanalytics as I stated in my response video,this cup will come down to how much the 3 young guns(Arendse,Libbok and Moodie) want it. They want to make a heap load of coin,which isn’t what it should be about but let’s face facts,money makes the world go,this is their time to shine ✨. I also expect to see some real passion from the vet Deon Fourie,watch,that man is hungry and will deliver when given the chance.

@codepuncher Год назад

Great game Andre, and not a single pen conceded. Seems a deliberate tactic that after a tackle he is up and away, as opposed to trying to go for the ball.

@katana723 Год назад

While an excellent jackal and poaching threat, I think there's probably more value in having him making a good volume amount of tackles: he reads backlines really well but tackles like a big 8, over time smaller backs will be hesitant and scared to run down his channel if not outright hurt I've always been a big fan of Esterhuizen as a Quins fan and as a forward you appreciate a big 12 who is getting you forward

@uSbusiso_ Год назад

loving the new sound improvement 😍😍😍😊

@TheHalicarnassis Год назад

Dude, his tackle techinique is just textbook and he makes it look so easy. One hand on the quad, head tucked the right way and a small lift and boom! Then rolls off back into defensive formation. Reminds me of that SABC1 Rugby soap in the 80’s where the leads were fullback and opposing centre always smashing eachother on the pitch. (Showing my age😅)

@eiremike1 Год назад

@commentwell3870 Год назад

Tackles like a monster and then attacks like a beast, difficult to get down....we have a weapon here. I think Am's injury is a blessing in disguise, because the rest of the world would not have had time to figure Esterhuizen out yet...Praying Am recovers soon🙏...

@roostermike Год назад

I think he is excellent, the only very minor criticism I have is that he needs to be careful with his tackle technique. He has tendency on occasion to lift the legs. Needs to be careful with that, as it can quickly go past horizontal with a little extra momentum. Otherwise, hell of a good Center.

@dougerrohmer Год назад

Especially since by the time he thumps the guy down, he's offloaded the ball long ago. It's legal, but the optics look bad and with a hostile TMO he might cost us.

@hoodlum1107 Год назад

I was going to comment on exactly the same thing. Against a team like Ireland, who like to play to the ref, taking a tackled player close to horizontal is asking for trouble.

@tyl3rb-fw6ee Год назад

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@@dougerrohmerDe Allende has received more cards than Andre Esterhuizen in the last 2 years. Meaning De Allende is more likely to cop a yellow card. You people and your pre-conceived notions need to do your research.

What a beast of a player

@robertjan002 Год назад

Solid battering ram but that’s also his weakness. Loved Am’s back-of-the-hand offload. That’s the fair we’re missing. But fingers crossed.

@franciscobizzaro Год назад

He is de Allende but bigger with arguably better ball skills. He's also hungry for work on the field and mostly is dominant in collisions. I think he will make a mark. Congrats. A successful Bok campaign will come from the relatively inexperienced Boks stepping up on the big stage. I'm excited for Andre, the young wingers and I reckon Libbok will do just fine. Siya in the mix just for support is huge, and if he actually gets game time it will be massive but I think we have the talent and the game plan to go far. Gonna be a great world cup no matter the outcome. Go the Boks.

@nerdyali4154 Год назад

Libbok doesn't inspire confidence. He is very patchy and the wheels have come off his kicking. Pollard is a big loss.

@franciscobizzaro Год назад

@@nerdyali4154 massive loss. But I don't dislike Libbok. Kicking can improve. He's who we got. So fcuk it, let's roll.

Hey thanks for the videos and good stuff. I'm curious, how to you get these videos from different angles? These are great for coaches.

@user-ib9rr8ue4u Год назад

Ironically, he and Am was building up a nice partnership at the Sharks before he left for England. More ironically, based on the setup of the WC squad it is clear to see that he would sadly have been left out of the WC squad was it not for Am's injury. I think the coaches are sometimes so scared to try stuff, rather stick to the tried and tested

@thecuttingsark5094 Год назад

Best 12 in the English prem, and England dont have a proper 12 🤦‍♂️. How about you South Africans swop one of your 12s for one of our English 10s? Smith for De Allende?

Night and day difference

@tasanalytics Год назад

Personally I would still give De Allende the edge. But in saying that, I think De Allende is playing for his job in these next 2 warmup games. If he underperforms and Esterhuizen puts in another classy performance like his previous 2, then I simply can't see them starting with De Allende. But I wouldn't give up on him just yet. I actually think they're probably going to give either Esterhuizen or De Allende a game at 13 in one of the warm ups. But in reality, I don't think the 2 of them would be very good at 13, I prefer them at 12. I would much rather just keep Kriel at 13, and then maybe give Moodie a shot there, to see if he can swim in the deep end.

@frontierlandfrank5314 Год назад

@@tasanalytics I agree on moodie at 13, think it’s worth a shot. Kid seems like he’s not shaken by anything. Idk if dda has shown me enough lately, for me to pick him over Andre.

@myshepspud1 Год назад

Try directly comes from him passing to Libbok who kick passes to Moodie. A kick pass is only an option off quick hands. Can you imagine De Allende doing that or do you think he would crash ball first?

@dougerrohmer Год назад

I think that whole move was pre-planned and practised. DDA would have done exactly the same.

Or are we going to play 2x12 with Big Andre and Allende? Kriel? :(

@MikeWinkyObama Год назад

I think the wings play better with Andre Esterhuizen on the field e.g. vs Oz as he creates more space for them.

@CC-vq1yg Год назад

I think you're right, 2-3 defenders stick to Esterhuizen when he gets the ball, and he has an accurate long pass to put the outside backs in space. It worked really well against Aus, but is that because they're that bad, or is he that good? Give any of our wings the ball in space and they can take care of the rest

@richardyoung4405 Год назад

Yeah he looks sharp. Big body, works hard and seems to make the right decisions on both sides of the ball. deAllende is not back to his best. When he first turned up, he was class, bit seems to be struggling to consistently hit those highs.

@gregorybeukes2677 Год назад

@blaquenguni9249 Год назад

Henco has a little boy body, he still needs to grow into his body, Moodie is a better prospect at 13, once Henco grows though he'll be unplayable 😊

Esterhuizen 12, DDA 13 - for me that works well. DDA links up well with wings on attack (usually). Kriel can be back up.

DDA has glue in his hands, the wings will never see the ball with him at 13

@gigtimes Год назад

Hes ok. Quite frankly for his size he doesnt seem to hit as hard or break tackles as hard as i would expect a guy of 110 kg. On the other side Damian is brick sh!thouse solid and strong. Also Esterhuizen lacks the rugby finess/iq of Barret or Iaone. Just my pov.

@robhughes645 Год назад

I agree on this, DDA is highly rated and with Am potentially injured these two could be a solid option. DDA is a special player, can't believe there are so many righting him off

@shawnberry6110 Год назад

Play both Kriel and De Allende. The latter can play 12.

@petestewart9442 Год назад

This guy works hard I give him that. But I dont think he is of National standards. Just because he was able to get a dominat tackle on someone who offloaded the ball, doesnt mean he is a good player. He distributed the pass well in one of the clips, but it led the winger to get dragged into touch. He also didnt make the good technique were he bodies the other person blocking the inside man isolating the last defender on a 2 on 1. Such tiny thing to work on but that block can make a 1/2 second difference and that 1/2 second is lethal in test rugby. He has to polish up his skills
