The sentiment in Japan at the time was that he was desperately unlucky not be part of the match day 23 heading into the knockout stages of the tournament.
“Given that our set-up and the way we play Cobus and Faf are very similar‚ while Herschel is more out of the box‚” coach Jacques Nienaber said while explaining Reinach leapfrogging Jantjies into the starting team.What he left unsaid was that Reinach's most recent form for the Boks has outshone that of Jantjies‚ possibly even De Klerk.
Steyn was after all the man who drove a stake through Lions hearts with his last-gasp series-clinching kick in 2009. He is apparently built for moments like that‚ though that logic was momentarily abandoned in the aftermath of the Boks' RWC exit in Wellington two years later.
