    Hahaha

    Try Howard Mnisi, Golden Lions… no WP defence whatsoever… like a training field move against tacklebags!

    I thought WP were peaking too early.
    Knife, butter, hot, and the breakfast belongs to the Lions

    On the plus side, WP have no choice now but to try and run the ball and try and take on the Lions at their game. Let’s see what they have in them.

    Forget what I said, if WP want to defend like this they deserve to get smashed

    The TMO should have looked for the “touch” claimed on Mnisi.

    Try Kotze, WP

    Nice break Du Preez, good try.

    If we can score again and not let them get another try back, then who knows?

    @ Just For Kicks:
    What concerns me is that WP are playing for what is essentially a home semi.

    Doesn’t look like a desperate team to me.

    Let’s hope England play with the same desperation as WP tomorrow

    Looking better in the cricket. Need 38 off 21 to win – Bernadine 29 off 18 and JP 37 off 21

    Only 16 points in it at halftime…

    Geez, looks like we may have bought this umpire in the cricket, he is doing everything possible to keep us in the game.

    Need England to win tomorrow to keep the WC spirit going. The buzz has been great. If they lose tomorrow, the gees will be gone. I really want them to step up.

    SA flailing now. Need to slow down a bit

  • 83

    nortie on 2 October 2015 at 6:53 pm

    Should SA rugby be concerned with the non existent defense from our CC sides?

    Last week we saw massive scores in about all the games as well.

    Or should we be happy that our teams have sacrificed defense to embrace all out attack?

    @ nortie:
    We usually complain about the defense of the NZ sides when they play and they seem to be doing alright?
