Springbok Hooker Malcolm Marx says he's working hard to improve his alignment.
In an interview was Rugby Pbad, Marx was held responsible for the difficulties of selecting the Springboks in the 12-11 defeat to England at Twickenham earlier this month.
South Africa lost four vital alignments during the test, three of which were overthrown by Marx.
"It's difficult, but first I have to look at myself and it's obviously my fault, thrown over the jumpers. It's hard to adapt to the game and I felt like I was going to be part of the lineup outside of that, but those three liners could have made us win the game.
"It was a tremendous amount of pressure and it was not easy to play England at Twickenham, but it's not an excuse for me, I have a job to do and, of course, some of that work that I did not do my best, "Marx told me.
Marx added that he was working hard to improve his alignment and that he "was constantly trying to improve it".
Side bad side, the season was still impressive from the sturdy Lions No 2.
He has been nominated alongside his Springbok teammate, Faf de Klerk, All Blacks duo, Beauden Barrett and Rieko Ioane, and Irishman Johnny Sexton for the title of World Player of the Year.
Sexton is back with the grand prize, but Marx will be upset by his 2018 season.
Aged 24, he now has 24 tests and has emerged as the Springbok's first choice before the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan.
