Q4 Jamaica came out explosively and quickly got to a 12 goal lead.
SA have a new GA which is definitely Taljaard (who I’ve always liked but Maskeo is just so good nowadays) (and Taljaard has a new name ?married or something else?) and new WD who I recognise but can’t recall the name.
Lots of errors in the SA forward line, the Jam crowd love it. But then the errors from Jam at the transverse line – Jok doesn’t move in the same way as Romela and JFN, and Jamaica are rushing the lob when it is covered and Jok is flat-footed. The big message is going to be to get the ball to the circle edge; or indeed for Kadijah Williams to watch every video of Toeava playing and how she gets rid of tall defenders. Grierson and Plummer aren’t doing too bad, but also not impressive.
I’d have to say, the SA shooters largely aren’t too stressed about the Jamaican defence of the shot – they do baulk, but they don’t panic. Streutker in particular had good accuracy.
Jam have recognised the sloppy patch and replaced GA and C. I’m sorry I haven’t written all the changes, without graphics it’s hard to keep track. Oooh Simone Gordon has just debuted at GS for Jam for the last 4 mins.
It looks like SA might win the last quarter. Jamaica are playing like they’ve already won, foot is off the pedal. Sure, some good defence by SA but nothing major, they’re playing more consistently and in the right place, right time.
