A win is a win, but not totally convincing for me. Personally I think we need Faf back at 9.

I think Williams did allright. His kicking is pretty good. For me, the issue seems more to be the loosies are not connecting somehow. They play like a team that have not played together before.

And that loose trio had, indeed, never played as a combo before and had not prepped much in the week to play as a combo. The late withdrawal of JLdP hurt, but even had he played you would still have had a trio with zero experience of playing a test match together.
