Rugby...

Lekker to see some discussion here! It's still early days, lets beat the French 3-0 first, and even with this young and inexperienced team we should beat Arg and Aus (at home at least) in the rugby championship. We won't beat the AB's yet, nor England and Ireland. But if we can move up to 3rd or 4th in the world by the end of this year I would be happy with the progress. Next year we can challenge for 2nd again, and perhaps try for an upset win over the AB's in SA.

The first 20min from the All Blacks has been very very impressive.

All the defending will sap the Lions

They're gotta get some phases going themselves

Not a great game by the Sprinboks tonight but a win is a win and the vibe at the ground was good. Scattering of French fans and a good spiriit all round.

 

Still history was made, first time the Sprinboks have beaten the French at Ellis Park. Me more win this year and we will equal last years total of wins.

 

I know WW has only been captain for two games but I we missed him this evening.

Yeah we missed WW badly. Also Ross Cronje, Hougie didn't have a very good game. He threw one shocking pass from where the French scored a penalty. 

 

Good to see Serfontein back to his best. Going to be an epic battle between him and Rohan when he's fit again. Jesse Kriel is good on attack but needs to work on his defence a bit. 

 

Weak links in this team are Rhule and Beast. Skosan has been very quiet but he hasn't made any mistakes.

 

Now back to super rugby.. It feels weird.

The ABs currently own the final 20 minutes of test match rugby.

I think they own all 80mins actually! There's no-one that can come close to them at the moment. They'll have to have a terrible off day for anyone to get a sniff of beating them.

agreed: spend 1st half figuring you out, and the remainder of the match rushing through the floodgates

Boring game but glad we got the win. Lots of new combinations so cant really complain.

 

Like MTBeer said, Rhule cant defend and Skosan isnt a strong defender either

Definitely something the better International sides will exploit.

 

 

Really enjoyed the NZ vs Lions game.

Amazing how NZ can change their entire back line and still look so smooth.

Looking forward to the second test match but I cant see the Lions winning a test.

bougie... He threw one shocking pass from where the French scored a penalty. .

One of the last games he played we got a penalty and he tapped and then kicked the ball out essentially giving the ball away.... He did the exact same thing this game... He cannot think on his feet at all
