Rugby...

Aussies will think they pitched up at an Aussie Rules Footy game this weekend. 

yup, those up and unders will be raining down on the Aussies for 90 min. Problem is though, due to there AFL heritage, Aussies are the best high ball catchers in the game.

I'm getting the feeling that AC is just mixing it up and hoping for the best. No real plan.

 

 

He claims to have plans for Faf and Elton but that they don't fit his current game plan.

 

Their "plan"(pretty much his stormers plan) is to not score tries and make sure the other team only score a couple. Then Morne Steyn can slot over 15 penalties and win the game for the Boks.

 

Because apparently you dont win by scoring more tries than the other team, you win when you prevent the other team from scoring too many tries. 

 

I hate this style of rugby. It does not work in the modern game. The rules favour the attacking team.

For the first time in my life I will not support the Bokke. Not because of the players as they don't select themselves but because our administrators, selectors and coach have no idea what they doing. Very similar to our government - a bunch of clowns

it's called the Optimist Game Plan. Kick and hope for the best.

I think AC is desperate for a win, and will do anything to achieve it.

 

Very short sighted, if it is.

Whaat!

 

Glaspoppie Goosen at 10?

 

Yip. He may have been brittle early in his senior career, but he's a raw talent.

If there was a position for tackling coach. Baartman would be a shoe in, tough as nails.

So what are the predictions today..frankly..we should win this today..all advantages are in our favour

FWIW, I went with SA by 3 on SuperBru.

 

Loftus is Aus, what Ellis Park is to the AB's. Altitude another factor that I think may tip the scales in our favour.

A lot depending on our half backs and our game plan - if there is one. Not wanting to lose to the Aussies but it might actually be good for us if that's what happens today. Aussies by a single score.

I know the game plan. It is really not rocket science.

 

They will kick to keep the Aussies pinned in their half, and then milk the tight phase play for penalties, which is why Morne is playing.

 

On the other hand, if I was the Aussie coach, I will keep on hitting Morne's channel.

Boks are really desperate so may just sneak a win here. And I hate saying this but then AC will be quite chuffed with his selections. So I almost want us to hit rock bottom so AC's blinkers will come off

Total circus at Loftus. How do you only have 2 backline subs on the bench?!
