Mumblings and rumblings after vital losses this weekend is making me grumpy this morning !
First we hear mumblings from Peter de Villiers that the Travel-factor has assisted in the loss of the Bokke, this past weekend. Then we hear from the Bokke skipper, John Smit, that the Bokke simply do not know what went wrong!
Hey, Snorrie & John, do not start the Traveling Circus up… accept that the Bokke lost to a fiercely motivated Ozzmob side, who threw everything at a lazy Bokke side this weekend.
Blue Bulls, same applies to you… no moaning about Pro Legoete or the fact that so many of your stars are at the Bokke !!
The Bokke and Bulls suffered exactly the same fate on Saturday, they were pummelled in the scrums, with their tight heads taking serious strain. Werner Kruger, the Bulls No 3, popped out like a cork in almost every scrum… as a Bulls supporter it was agonizing to watch and endure. John Smit, Bokke captain and tight head, did not do much better, popping up and out on regular occasions.
Both John and Werner seemed to make the same mistakes, going into the hit far too high AND with bent backs.
The plea today is for a scrum doctor to assist the Bokke as soon as possible.
The plea is also for the Blue Bulls to appoint a scrum doctor and fix the problem, else to get the injured Frik Kirsten to replace Werner Kruger as soon as humanly possible.
Remember how we scoffed at WP’s front row, barely 6 months ago? What has changed? I’ll tell you what has changed…. Mathew Proudfoot, the WP scrum doctor has performed miracles with the WP front row and his cause has considerably been helped by getting 2 decent locks, Anton van Zyl & Chris Jack to pack down behind the WP front row.
Face it folks, rugby is still a game won by those who fire up the engine room… the fatties in the front row, the tall fellas in the second row and those scavengers in the back row.
It appears from utterings today, after practise by the All Blacks, that they are licking their lips to give the Bokke scrum a full go on Saturday. They should also be equally motivated as the Wallabies were this past weekend, because they are still smarting from the losses they took against the Bokke.
Bokke, get you head space right, focus, sort out the scrumming this week !
Bulls, you have another biggie on Saturday, the Sharks! The same applies to you, this week you need to dig deep, this week your props, hookers & locks need to stand up and say, no more nonsense!
Ahhh, it feels better already, having gotten this off my chest today!
Goooooooooooi Mieliessssssssss !
SkrumJanne!
GBS,
Frik Kirsten is injured!
Bulls wont dominate, but they wont struggle as much against the Sharks upfront. WP’s scrummaging much better than the Sharks at the moment. Sharks have already lost a front row and Herbst. The Bulls do need serious help though! The Boks, I dont know, eish…think we will win, dont know about the scrums though.
3@Supa Die Bloubul – We’re in for a beating from the All Blacks, this weekend coming….
@grootblousmile –
Ja difficult to call as they have problems of their own. Donald is not a brilliant flyhalf and the (possibly) new centre combo of Carter/Muliana – who knows? Will they gell so quick?
Die twee spanne wat die beste skrum is die cheetahs en wp en die beste vaskop op die stadium is kortgat wp nel hy verbaas my die fs skrum is ook baie steady en val nie sommer nie.hulle hit ook baie goed
ek vermoed aus het skelm geskrum.as jy reguit skrum moet jy nie uit pop nie barney het ook nog nie geleer om sy oponent plat te le nie.die gesegde is as jy suffer le op die loskop dan moet hy als doen net om die skrum regop te hou
@smallies72 –
Ek stem. WP Nel en Coenie Oosthuizen beindruk nie net met skrumwerk nie, maar ook met hulle gerenal play.
@Supa Die Bloubul – hulle kook ek dink wp het al 5 keer gescore en dit vir n vk is ongewoon hy is ok nie baie groot nie,amper johan steyger se bou
More more vanaf ‘n nat, koue en donker Kaap
Goeie artikel GBS – veral die opskrif werk vir my!
@smallies72 – 9
Daai Cheetah voorry lyk baie goed op die oomblik. Wonder hoeveel Os daarmee te doen het?
@smallies72 – o ja het toe vir die bulle geskree net baie sag
9@smallies72 – Ons sal maar sien hoe vaar WP Nel teen Wikus Blaauw komende naweek, om dit te kan vergelyk met hoe Werner Kruger van die Bulls gekak het.
As Wikus Blaauw daai skrumpet op het, lyk sy gesig so laaaank, soos daai een karakter in die Toys Cartoon Movie.
Dink deel van WP en Cthas se sukses met die skrums is goeie skrumafrigting:
Ctahs: the Legend, Os
WP: Proudfoot, goeie skrummer gewees.
Wie is die Bokke en Bulle se skrumafrigters ?
Nee, O magtig! Groet niemand vanoggend nie? 😯
Stan, jy het aangesluit en ek het jou GOEDGEKEUR.
Lekker Blog !
@SA Barbarians – ek dink nogal baie.veral as jy na wp nel kyk hy was swakker as caldo en kyk hoe lyk hy nou hy is beslis een van die top vaskoppe in die land en dan hol hy nog soos n senter ok
Look I agree the fatties of both teams need to front.
But I tell you one thing, Legoete blew the Bulls off the park on Saturday. For the first time I was as perplexed as that overrated Kuun about some decisions he came up with.
Of course that Soutie in the Boks test knew fokol about mauls and entering/collapsing them.
11@SA Barbarians – More, SAB, hoeveel mense was daar saterdag op Nuweland ? Lyk of hy redelik vol was.
15@SA Barbarians – Hellooooooooo Barbaar !
@grootblousmile – Aaaah DIS beter!! 🙂
@smallies72 – 17
Ja hy vang beslis die oog. Saterdag gaan interesant wees in die skrums
@bdb – More bdb
Ja Nuweland was redelik gepak
@grootblousmile – Dit gaan n helse battle wees ma ek dink wp gaan wen sy lengte maak dat sy oponente nie onder hom in kom nie en die fs sak ook m@er laag en skrum as n eenheid jy sien sommer hoe sak hul gatte as hulle druk
@Morné – 18
Eish PA don’t start something now 🙂
@SA Barbarians – o ja mornings
24@smallies72 – Ja, dit gaan interressant wees….
@smallies72 – 26
hehehe ditto
@SA Barbarians –
That is nothing!!!
You can be glad I did not post my piece on Asad Bhorat from TARC here!!! 😉
As WP Vrystaat wen, is hul so te sê verseker van ‘n tuissemi.
As Bulle nie Sharks wen saterdag nie, is hul in die moeilikheid. As ek so na die Bokke kyk, dan dink en nie hul terugkeer gaan dalk so groot verskil maak nie, omdat daardie manne baie moeg lyk. As jou Bokke terugkom in ‘n span wat momentum het, dan is dit goed. Maar as die Bokke moet terugkom om die kastaaiings uit die vuur te probeer red, dan gaan dit moeilik wees.
Bakkies en Danie speel reeds albei met ‘niggles’, terwyl ou Habana ook nou half beseer is.
So, die jong Bulletjies beter die ding saterdag doen, anders lê daar moeilike tye voor vir die res van die CB.
