Please don’t tell me that in Jim Morrison we have another centre who can’t pass off his wrong side?
OK they were well and truly beaten but the reserves ran rampant, brilliant . i rate Kolisi and Fourie 9/10 and Jan Serfontein 8/10
Final Score: Springboks 73 / 13 Pumas
60 point win!
So, how goos was SA, how bad was Argentina. Only the rest of the tournament will tell, but here’s hoping!!!! Goooooo Bokke!!!!!
Lets hope the Argies can put up a better performance against the Ozzies and NZ.
geluk bokke. fantiese wen al was arg hoe swak!
Told you guys the 2nd half would be good!
Ok, let’s hear what Nick’s got to say….
@ fender:

you are right i think they are the first Nation who pays for the Club vs Country money thing
Next week IN Argentina is not going to be that easy… but we should still moer them!
Hopelik sal die Arg beter raak na volgende week, en die Aus en die AB hul nie te ver wen nie. Hierdie punteverskil is belangrik.
Moet nou net nie glip volgende week nie.
Next week Fourie du Preez must start, the difference was staggering when he took over
@ fender:
I just love Nick, he says it the way HE sees it, fark the rest
@ grootblousmile:

but like i said earlier , the Argies was totally out of it by then
Was really impressed with FdP, Willie, JJ, Flo, Eben and Kruger. Steyn has his mojo back, and Pat, Jan Serfs, and Kolisi looking good too.
geluk bokke die argentyne was pateties. maar jlle het ojs trots gemaak.
404 @ superBul:What did he say?
I was worried about our scrums before the game… but we did well there too
Ja, JDV is reg, maklikste game verby, nou raak dit heelwat moeiliker. Moet ten minste 2 uit 3 op die pad wen om ‘n kans te hê.
@ Just For Kicks:
408
still waiting for his chance, the captains are talking now
Last year we beat the Pumas something like 26 / 6 at Newlands… we already had that score by halftime this time around
Who wants to watch AC show after this? Dammit
@ grootblousmile:
dit was n baie lekker wen. die mense gaan suip in soweto vanaand!
So, did Ostridge, as some of you call Heyneke Meyer, our National coach, do well today?
Nick singing FdP praises and with good cause…
@ grootblousmile:
2nd half 47-0 until the last minute, massacre
Who was MOTM? For me, it was a tossup between Willie and Flo
Boks came good in the second half but we will have to with hold judgement of their true abilities till later. Morne is back to his best which makes a huge difference while FdP is still without peer. Maybe Boks can win our home game against the ABs if FdP plays.
414 @ MacroBull:
Jinne maat, ons het al gesuip op geleentheid in Soweto… daai Orlando games was mmmmoooooosa!
Soccer City issie eintlik in Soweto nie, dis langs Soweto, geskei deur die N1 snelweg, langs die ou Nasrec Skougronde. Fantastiese stadium.
