Italy 16 / 22 Argentina (Full Time)
England 35 / Wallabies 18 (80 min)
Ireland 20 / Samoa 10 (Full Time)
Well done Bokke.
Far too close for me. Heart can’t take these close games….hehehe.
For next week Hougaard has to start and Habs must be on the bench or dropped. Mvovo has to start.
wallis moes wen hier dit was net guts aan ons kant wat hulle gekeer het,ons het weer 13teen 15 gespeel pienaar en habanna was nowere,morne is tans net as skopper daar en as lambie sy skoppe bokant 80 pers gaan kry is morne geskiedenis,hy het ons amper die game gekos met daai afgestormde skop
Spies was ‘n groot yster, so ook Alberts toe hy opgekom het.
@ Pietman:I agree totally with you. Chilliboy is just plain shit.
@ Pietman:211 – Piet not sure either. Bissie should have stayed on. Anyhow we won but just, far too close. England beat Oz very well today too. We will have to up our game by plenty to beat England. Just shows you how great the All Blacks are playing. They beat England by 10 last week.
England 35 – 18 Australia Full Time
Ons het Flippen hard probeer om die game te verloor aan die einde. Too close for comfort, but a valiant effort from the Boks to pull this one through
VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
@ Puma:
The coach can never win
@ Puma:
I agree Puma, give Mvovo a chance
We play rugby for 20 min and we tackle for 60 min and we win. I really look forward to the day we are brave enough to defend less and attack more. In the meantime I’ll blame it on apartheid. 😉
Sal moet sien hoe doen die Skotte vanaand, en dan ‘n paar ouens rus gee en ander van die begin laat speel.
Sharks voorry kort ‘n goeie rus, hulle het nou 3 hardes in ‘n ry gehad.
Sal Daniel, Alberts, Lambie en Mvovo ook in die beginspan wil sien.
@ bdb:
onthou jy hoe ons gesukkel het om De Wet Barry en Maruis Joubert uit Jake se span te kry. Ek dink dit gaan moeiliker wees om PdeV lig te laat sien oor Habana
@ rugbybal:222 – Mvovo has to get a chance and to start not coming off the bench. Habs was terrible today.
@superbul habanna chillie en ruaan was maar nog altyd sy boytjies hulle drie het ons amper die game gekos
An ugly win this, but we’ll take it….
Lots to do before the England game though.
Cheers people.
One thing we must try and take from the last 2 weeks wins is the never say die attitude of the Boks, this grinding wins will mean a lot for us at the RWC. More than a run away victory, i believe.
Alberts was superb when he came on. Has to start for the rest of the tour.
225: wonder of Snorre ander ouens gaan kans gee, en of hy gaan bly by die span soos hy nou is ?
230: in wie se plek, Juan s’n of dalk slot ?
@ smallies72:
smallies los my uit en ook Ralepele 😀 wees net fair , die ou sit daar op die bankie en moet op n moeilike tyd inkom, dink jy nie wedstryd fiksheid kort by hom nie. Maar ek gaan nou in die wind poep jy het klaar besluit, so kom ek se ook ky is k@k , voel jy nou beter?
@ superBul:229 – Super, Agree these two wins will give the players plenty confidence never to give up and to believe in themselves that they can win even coming from behind. Well something these two wins will have given them.
I can’t see us beating England though if we fall behind. We need to be much sharper for that game.
@ puma only if bismark srays on as fetcher because we were nowere the last 10 min with bismark of and alberts on not him or juan is a fetcher,and to be honest he is not yet in juan’s lauge as a work horse,so if he starts bissmark must play the whole game
@ Pietman:228 – Cheers Piet, Agree plenty to work on before the England game.
@ Puma:
If Victor pulls of the Grand Slam i really can not see any reason for JS to be in the starting team at the WC. Make John mentor, coach , motivator but dont take him completely out of the squad.
@ smallies72:235 – Smallies agree, Bissie has to stay on for the full game and let Alberts start. Far too good to leave out.
@ superBul:237 – Not even thinking that far ahead Super. Have to see what next year brings. Too soon to tell. We have not played well at all in this game or against Ireland. Had we be playing the All Blacks we would have had our butts well whipped. Wait until we play England. They are the best up there at the moment.
237: ongeag of ons dit wen, kan Smit nie bo Bismark gekies word nie. Hy is ‘n ekstra losvoorspeler.
