Shebeen Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 oh, and you got to feel for the ginger ninja. he scored a valid try (was pinged for double movement but was never held in the tackle - ref didn't feel like checking it). props don't get many, mazambaan and 'Dale 2
mazambaan Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 "Holding onto the ball means nothing..........", er well yes (legally of course) except the other team really needs it to score points. From years ago I believe you cannot take Bok rugby really seriously if the administrators don't - they are looking after themselves. No central contracting and limited player development. I maintain any of the players could be coached to do much better through individual and small group drills etc. But what do I know - get an NZ assistant - maybe that Oirisher who went to Crusaders O'Gara something - never heard of him though Mntboy 1
Mntboy Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 This team has a habit of leaking tries and then playing catchup.3 tries in ten minutes, just this time they couldn't reverse it. did enough to win the game the rest of the time, but the ABs won't be so accomodating.Yeah not a good habit to have and I for one am sincerely hoping that the Boks acknowledge this and fix it prior to our games against Aus and NZld. That said I feel that we shouldn't be happy with having good stats and "oh well if we defended better we would've won". It's simply not good enough. Rassie, his coaching staff and the players know this. I am not asking for perfection from them, just a proper and accurate execution of the game plan because as we saw in Durban it makes the Boks a harder team to beat.
City Cycling Athletic Club Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) crash ball rugby is outdated by 10 years - and we still believe all teams including the AB'sare scared of our physicality. having to tackle a 110kg centre face on is par for the course of anyhonest pro rugby player.when will we learn to side step or run for the gap.

Napalm Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 I can't understand why the left Marx on the bench. We lack a number 10. Elton can't tackle, Pollard can't kick - Willemse has the talent, but he needs a couple of years more experience.
MTBeer Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 ah the Jantjies/De Allende midfield axis. A combination that strikes fear into defences around the world LongDonkey, scotty, Escapee.. and 3 others 6

Elton can't tackle, Pollard can't kick - Willemse has the talent, but he needs a couple of years more experience.Probably left Marx on the because he can't find his jumpers. If Williams is good enough he should play....age/experience shouldn't matter - we don't have much more to lose - do we?. babse 1
MphatiPyga Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 ah the Jantjies/De Allende midfield axis. A combination that strikes fear into defences around the worldI might not watch just because of this MTBeer 1
MTBeer Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 I might not watch just because of thisI won't watch because I couldn't be bothered anymore. Will probably do some weeding in the garden instead.
babse Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 Probably left Marx on the because he can't find his jumpers. If Williams is good enough he should play....age/experience shouldn't matter - we don't have much more to lose - do we?.completely agree with this. Ive said in a previous post, regardless how good he in loose, if he cant do his core function properly there is a problem. Our lineouts are a mess, the change was needed as this is a massive area that we operate from. also think *willemse is good/old enough!
babse Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 ah the Jantjies/De Allende midfield axis. A combination that strikes fear into defences around the worldthis combination makes me wonder is toetie is still around?
Shebeen Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 I'm stoked to see Kolbe on the bench. if Damian McKenzie is in the Kiwi team then all the excuses for not having him in ours go away.So what has Cheslin been doing in France? hotstepping it seemsand not shurking his defensive work either. babse 1
Escapee.. Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 Cant see us winning this one with that 12/13 combo Anyways I will still be watching and hoping for a win
