Regarding the penalties:
I am not a Brockie-hater simply because I have long ago reconciled myself to the fact that he is well past his best, no matter what he is currently achieving in South Africa. However, he has a poor scoring record over a long international career with the AWs, and embarrassingly missed a penalty against Mexico. Missed as in "missed", rather than "had it saved".
Many on this forum were surprised when Hudson put Moses Dyer on (instead of the apparently favoured Hudson-Wihongi). From that I take we should expect that Dyer has a relatively low skill set, awareness, fitness, or confidence for the occasion. I was impressed with his penalty - it was strong and well placed. And yet I would not be a hater if he had it saved by a keeper that guessed correctly - because I have lower expectation of Dyer as opposed to Brockie.
This brings me back to Brockie. After many years on the pitch nobody would accuse him of below-par skill set, or lack of experience at the sharp end. An experienced player should (arguably) always score from a penalty unless there is something not right with his mental disposition. That is why my own feeling is that Hudson has not done his homework on Brockie (he should have excluded him).
Or perhaps he has, and decided to make him take the least sensitive penalty (not the first, not the last), just in case.
