@ CoachPete:
You agree on that short throw?
Rugbybal…as jy die lees….dink jy eerlik waar nog on so moet stick met “experience” vir die RWC in plaas van om so bietjie nuwe bloed in die span in te bring he? Habana, Spies, Smit(ok, hy was ne te bad vandag), JP Pietersen en Fransie…eerlikwaar, daar moet beter spelers beskikbaar wees. Dan sit ons nog met ander deadweights soos Janawarie en Kankovki…
Wat n grap
@ Treehugger:Hi Hugs, do you like the ‘Tubby Type’?? 😉
Think post 120 000 now up , great GBS
Hey Puma I agree
Pdv said he was not concerned about Habanas form (lack of form) well it showed again
Close call, where to from now.
Shall i take it
@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:
Another glass of red should do the trick !!
snoek? Die penalty was teen flip v. m. gewees…morne was in die backline??????????? y do the wp supporters always find the problem with morne… Come on guys this was not currie cup this was the BOKKE vs the aus??????? I am at a loss 4 words….. Cheap shots thats all i can say……..
@ Treehugger:Smit should have stayed on. Just maybe they would not have got away with that lineout that lead to their try. What a pity. But really Habs cost us this match.
Hats off to the players that made a huge come back. Was a superb 2nd half.
Aussies deserved this one. So congrats to them.
Now for the Sharks game.
The throw went 4 meters should have been a bok scrum not 7 points to Oz
Ek is al so moeg om dit te sê, maar sal maar aanhou tot die dag wanneer ‘n wonderwerk gebeur: ons HET die talent, meer as AB’s en Aussies saam … ons kort die beste afrigters. Maar nou ja, soos ou Churchill gesê het – ons struikel oor feite, maar op een of ander manier staan ons weer op en strompel (sukkel) weer voort. Eish, ja.
120000 is up.
@ superBul:
Hi superBul…I am back, I did not resign!! 😆
@ superBul:
thanks Super, what a game! The boks fought back well and should have won it at the end. How many times would you expect Kurtley Beale to kick a goal like that to win a match?
We’ve just gone over 120 000 Comments on R-T…..
Another milestone
Great 2nd half by Smit
Boks woke up in 2nd half Great game pity we lost
I dont believe Oz deserved to win Again they gave up a big lead to a side lacking in confidence
@ CoachPete:545 – Howzit Coach, Yip it was Habs that let through 3 tries. Aplon should have started. It could have been different had he started.
What a great come back to lose it in the last 10sec. Heartbroken. But Aussies deserved it. We need to play more like we done in the 2nd half. Our defence in the first 40min was shocking.

@ CoachPete:Coach, This was one game that Smit should have been kept on. I honestly don’t think they would have got that right in the lineout where we fell asleep had John been on there. It cost us huge that lineout that lead to their last try.
563@ superBul:
Mooi man, ek het hom spesiaal vir jou gelos…. hehehe
Puma you think aussies deserved it?
To five up a big lead 2nd week in a row and basically boks should have won
Take off that 7 (throw not 5 meters) its a bok win and a gutsy one
Yes absolutely about Aplon
give sorry
Ok RT peeps, me and my beloved are going out for some ‘red stuff’ and the big screen, see you all.
Tjorts en lekka wees.
snoek… jy praat twak jy stir net dis al………. nie n clue nie het jy?
Game was lost for the Bokke in the fist half… and the Bulls in the team nearly brought it back all the way for a win….. hehehe
