Poorest match of the WC so far, cheers lads see you tomorrow morning for some good rugby
Waarom kon die ref nie maar eindfluitjie geblaas het nie, nou vra hy om verskonning
Picked the Aussies by 63, and win margin was 62
Smit haters might love this.
The Bok forwards impressed with their distribution in the contact situation, where they made 18 off-loads while being tackled – with captain Smit, especially, showing his worth.
@ superBul:
Its the grafters that don’t get noticed that win in the end. Squeaky wheel tends to get the grease, but generally a squeaky wheel is less effective. Bissy must keep his mouth shut and play when he can and his chance will come. You don’t hear Frans Steyn chirping to the press all the time and he will probably be at centre in place of Jean. All in all I am impressed with the way young Frans has matured. France has definitely turned him into a better player and it looks like a more mature and likeable person.
