Still, there were some promising signs out there… forwards doing well.
Maybe Flip is still harder than Etzebeth, we now know Juandré Kruger is definately better than Langbek.
Ruan had a sub-par game AGAIN, Morné was woeful
Gotta love JdV, first comment was that he thought that no one gave them a chance – and he and Ostrich wonder why!
269 @ superBul:A lot????????
Well, not an unexpected result….
269 @ superBul:Have I written off one more player than every other person here, and that INCLUDES every BB supporter bar you?
All Blacks are beatable, that is for sure….. with the right game plan and right players chosen
Wiil be interesting to hear what Mallett says….
ek wonder hoe fiks is die bokke se senters want met goosen daar gaat hulle hol hol hol ……
Mallet feels that if Goosen had started Boks would have won
Mallett fuming at Greyling… 4 penalties conceded and a Yellow Card
Mallett also believes Greyling had a great game. Not!
Says was a poor All Black side.
Mallett and Mitchell says Goosen needs to replace Morné Steyn
Mitchell loike Goosen too. Hell these coaches sitting on the side line really don’t have a clue, do they.
282 @ Just For Kicks:
All Blacks really were not convincing… I agree
The less said about our most limited flyhalf since Louis Skoen the better. Only positive is that Goosen has to start now and seeing that we’re playing at home he should have a dominant team to help him settle in. Our pack was very good, but the backline was utterly useless. Our only try came when the oval thing went directly to Habana, do we even need a backline coach as we seem to use the forwards in every move…
Hierdie een is vir jou, SuperBul, but the Bulls mentality has to go now. It has overstayed its welcome and with a talented runner and distributor at 10 we also need real pace at 13, we do have options.
Oh, and whoever selected Greyling should have their brains checked. If they wanted to get a replacement for Coenie they got the domgeid spot on and forgot the talent and strength.
I was 110% behind Heyneke, but his utterly conservative selections and game plan is putting me off already. Get Lambie in at 15, start Goosen at ten and build from there.
dean was swak swak swak dit was selfmoord om hom op te bring moerse fout gewees daai
Hallo oupa GBS! 😉
Apart from Dean Greyling and Liebenberg, the Bokke forwards have now found the starting formula…. Bekker to also fall out and Eben to be the bench man.
@ grootblousmile:
@ Just For Kicks:
@ smallies:
Bokke played very well, I am fairly happy, especially with our improvement up front.
This team will go places, Jeremy Guscott says, but ‘Meyer too blinkerded’….and then he explains why, very much in the same vein as we bloggers here.
288 @ Die Valk:
Hello Vlak!
290 @ Piet-Springbok-Jan:
Flip, Flo & Alberts were awesome today!
Come on, let’s chase the 300 down… 7 comments to go
Ek stem saam met Mallett, Goose moet speel.
Ons het verskeie kanse gehad om die AB’s the KO vandag, maar dier span moet nou net voortbou.
Ok, ek sal help…
Morne
Steyn
OK, Pienaar needs to be replaced too…. Super Sareltjie
Goosen to replace Morné Steyn
Lambie to replace Crusty
Subs need to be re-thought….
Game plan still needs tweaking, breakdown situations were miles and miles better today
is
kak.
