stefmeister Posted September 19, 2019 Share Very good read about our defence Our defense strategy worked extremely well against NZ, (unfortunately) at the expense of our attacking game (NZ's defense was also top notch tough). I hope that we can bring more of both aspects of the game into balance. Even considering the wet weather forecast, I doubt the same AB team will pitch up again with so many handling errors. Plus they always seem to adapt quickly by the next game after a poor showing. I'm getting a bit nervous for Saturday tbh.

I recon our pack is the best it has been for a while and it an area we dominated in wellington. NZ on the flip side will definitely miss Retallic. He is a massive player for them and he leaves a massive gap in their pack. This was evident in the first Bledislow cup game. Even though they have shown they can be beaten, the ABs are still the ABs and they can turn a game in a few minutes. its gona be...EPIC...

dev null Posted September 21, 2019 Share Boks are rattled. This will be a hiding. Too many forwards standing around in the backline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babse Posted September 21, 2019 Share Well that was disappointing... 9 10 and 15 were very poor. Seem we practiced too much playing without the ball coz we obviously had no idea what to do with it when we had it. ABs flexed half a muscle for 10mins and won comfortably.

Lexx Posted September 21, 2019 Share And again in the studio they blame the ref for the loss. FFS, the boks lost because they were poor. dev null, Patensie, scotty and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dev null Posted September 21, 2019 Share And again in the studio they blame the ref for the loss. FFS, the boks lost because they were poor. Yup, that is not the first time ABs capatilsed on our shooting up defense lines. Both their tries came from our mistakes. First was wrong positional play by our number 15, the second being too many forwards in our backline not able to defened against a fast running back. Everybody was looking at each other to tackle the runner. They should actually have scored 3 tries. The Boks were lucky on that first mistake when Mapimpi tackled the AB, even though he forfeited a penalty.

Shebeen Posted September 22, 2019 Share I don't think the ABs will be too happy with this result. Well they will like the result but they got outplayed in many facets. We should never have allowed those two tries.A few different bounces of the ball and peeps of garces whistle and we could have won this comfortably. Our tryline was never under pressure, they never even got close. Delarey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie had a bad game and should have been replaced earlier. It was interesting to hear Rassie explain that the timing of his replacements was heavily impacted by injuries unfortunately. I think we can definitely make it to the final and on the day anything can happen. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dev null Posted September 22, 2019 Share To be honest, based on yesterday's game, none of these two teams will raise the trophy. Too many basic mistakes. I think a Nothern Hemi team will take it. DJR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted September 22, 2019 Share After 43 poor box kicks, Faf could’ve been replaced by the magical Hersh stefmeister and Wannabe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
