@ grootblousmile:
It’s the Boks naivety and inability to adapt to conditions on the field of play that is so frustrating. They play like programmed robots that look totally confused when something crops up that’s not in their programming.
392 @ The_Young_Turk:
Yip, they appear like headless chickens in stead of thinking man’s players
@ grootblousmile:
You have to admit, one never sees this kind of thing happening to the ABs.
Some Springbok careers would hang by a thread if I was Bokke coach… Ruan Pienaar, Jannie du Plessis, Spies.
394 @ The_Young_Turk:
It’s the whole bloody mindset thing….
I also think England are going to klap the Argies good and solid. And this is without their Lions players. What’s happening to Argentina? They seem to be going backwards.
Freegin hell, I’m actually quite upset… we needed to moer these okes by 60
Well done Bokke. Though you done my head in during the first half. Just hope we on top of our game straight off the mark next week against a much more physical Samoa.
We really, really, really NEED another number 8. Please Meyer can’t you see Spies is not our best there? Just go and look at Read from the ABs and compare? NO absolute NO comparison. Who do we have right now? The Cheetah 8 or even the Kings 8 is better. Can’t wait for Tera from the Sharks to come through he is gonna be a absolute star.
Anyhow for next week we will have to start with Alberts if he is fit and also we did miss Flouw. Though Kolisi was superb. Our whole bench were top class.
We were totally out played in the first half. Need to up our game next week right from the start. Please hope no injuries after todays game. Know that we may have a injury to Botha and that is a shame as he is a magnificent player. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pleased to have Bissie back as well. Still have to bring him off the bench. Cant just let him play 80min next week. Though you can see his class. Strauss has been outstanding in Bissie’s absence though Bissie is still our best at hooker.
Good luck to our Boks next week. Just don’t play like we done in the first 65 min then we have no chance against Samoa.
Ok, looks like we’ve taken this one over the 400.
So, who joins me later for the match?
Ciao a tutti! See you for the Pommie/Puma match.
394 @ The_Young_Turk:
Have to agree. WE need to select right too.
Anyhow just pleased we won, not a great performance at all though. We have to get at least 80% better to beat the ABs and Aussies.
Okay I am off. Catch up tomorrow or during the week.
Have visitors over.
Cheer everyone.

407 @ smallies:
Fok, as ek noot weer in Ruan se afdraende gesig hoef vas te kyk nie, sal dit moer goed wees.
Wat ‘n pateet!
