Bissie had a good cameo at the end, Coenie did well, Juandré Kruger was better than last week.
Bryan Habana and Bjorn Basson got no quality ball to work their magic
356: Jan kom van PE af, nie Bloem nie, het net so 2 jaar daar gaan matriek maak. ‘n PE Bloubul in murg en been.
358: baie waar, as Louw nie kan speel nie, moet Brussow of Stegmann daar wees.
@ McLook:HM advocates a lot. Has a great PR team, I just wonder if PdV is one of them. However, do think we need a coach now, 5 years without one is pushing the idea of giving the opposition a head start a bit far! Cheers all, till next time, and Go BI Lions. Really up for that clash next weekend, some decent rugby to look forward to, at least.
@ Bullscot:
Ciao Bully
@ superBul:
so lank julle die laaity los dat hy doen wat van nature kom,en hom nie in sy donner in coach nie……:-)
@ Just For Kicks:
Ciao Kickers
@ The_Young_Turk: Cheers
Bokke allowed the Scotts to mess with their minds most of the 1st half, Bokke better get mentally stronger… and they need a captain who can steer them back to basics when the situation demands it… like today
Siya baie goed gespeel.
Come on, we can drive this thing past 400 with good rugby comments
Bokke won the 2nd half by 24 / 7… even that was a bit below par
The referee today was totally clueless, had no control, let Scotland get away with so much negative stuff…. jeeez and he missed some crucial stuff!
@ superBul:
kry julle eies dammit……aag tog ek het vergeet op affies leer hulle ook net skopjaag skopjaag….:-)
Naas and Nick is right, we allowed the Scotts to play….
@ grootblousmile:
Worried about Strauss. Was thinking he would be a fine captain but if he can’t handle the spectre of Bissie looking over his shoulder, we’re gonna need someone else. Who else is there. Spies is not sure of his place either.
373: wie het gewen tussen affies en grey hierdie jaar ?
@ ben-die-bul:
soos die agsteman wat nie n bal met een hand kan optel nie,die slot wat nie n lynstaan reg kan roep nie,die flyhalf wat voor die pale mis skop en die senter wat twee driee laasweek verflok het….:-)
Alisdair Strokosch, the Scotland No 6 is a blatant spoiler, cheat, negative idiot!
Who was MOM? Kolisi?
@ ben-die-bul:
@ ben-die-bul:
affies het die jaar gewen en laas jaar ook maar ek dink dit was al vir die laaste 15 jaar of so
379 @ The_Young_Turk:
Yip!
@ smallies:
moet ook by se hulle het teen grey se cherries 40-0 verloor en nie een van die jnr spanne kon teen grey wen nie
We have another Test tonight, here on Rugby-Talk… Argentina vs England.
I think England will win by a bigger margin than last weekend.
Even Willie le Roux was rattled at times and not so solid under the high balls.
Bryan Habana was afforded no opportunities
Bjorn Basson was quiet
JJ Engelbrecght was’nt at his best
Jean de Villiers did not achieve much
Morné Steyn was Ok, but no Fireworks
Ruan Pienaar was abysmal
…. but it all started with the Bokke forwards not dominating and tightening things up enough…
@ grootblousmile:
We all know that the Boks allowed Scotland to get away with murder. The question is why. They are professional rugby players. What did they expect an under strength Scotland team to do? Turn around and bend over?
385 @ The_Young_Turk:
The forwards and loosies did not do their primary jobs well.
377: al daardie spelers het julle Cheetahs nou die dag so maklik geklop op jul tuisveld … wys jou dan hoe swak jou span is ?
380: dankie, so jy erken tye is besig om te verander 😉
Springboks played right into the Scotland hands, in stead of determining what type of game was going to be played
361 @ grootblousmile:
No I never thought Kruger was great. Such a pity that PSDT is injured. Would rather start with Flip. Just let Eben start at 5 next week. He has done the calls this year for Stormers on a few games.
We only really started to come right when we were playing against 14 men. We need to be better than that. Also seemed our bench really injected some energy. Just maybe we should start with some players from the bench. For instance Serfontein. I would start him at inside centre and move Jean over to outside centre.
Kolisi was superb tonight. Pleased he got mom.
@ grootblousmile:
abysmal is te n goeie woord jy laat hom goed klink hy was pateties
