    205: HM was besig om die lig te sien. Bokke was skitterend teen AB en Aus in RC, bal in hand gespeel. Maar toe na die verlore, toe gee vergeet hy ons moet ook Arg nog wen, hy het obsessies ontwikkel om net teen AB te wen. Na die verloor teen Argies in RC, het hy omgedraai, en al wat goed begin lyk het die afgelope 2 jaar, nek omgedraai en weer sy ou veilige skop die bal weg rugby begin speel. Teen meeste spanne sou dit genoeg wees, maar nie teen Aussies en AB nie.

    Wat vir my vreemd is, is toe hy teruggeval het na sy skop-chase rugby plan, moes hy dadelik vir Morne teruggebring het, en Lambie of Zane op heelagter hou.

    Maar toe probeer hy met Pollard en Willie die 10 man game speel, en daardie manne kan nie so speel nie, daarom dat hul elke game net swakker en swakker gespeel het.

    Ek het ook gehoop HM gaan aanpas, en tot en met die net-net verloor teen AB het dit so gelyk, hy moes net deurgedruk het, maar het nie.

    Dit lyk regtig nie of hy ‘n ander gameplan kan speel, of aanpas nie.

    Daarom dink ek dit sal die beste vir bokrugby wees as ons met ‘n hele nuwe afrigting en bestuurspan oor begin.

    Last time we have seen a number of All Blacks in their Black jerseys…

    May those who move on go well off into the sunset, thank you for the entertainment you have given, for the total dedication… and enriching rugby!

    @ Ben-die-Bul:
    Ek dink meer as enige iets moet SARU weer die vertroue van die rugby publiek kry om in n positiewe mindset in te gaan, n optimisme in die onbekende en om weer die land agter die span te kry. SARU is nou heeltemal van die pad af.

    Great great game Folks

    Huge Carter Nonu SBW Kaino and second row

    One little thing though
    but when you can defend off-side and have no sanction with repeated faults
    it is not fair for the other side

    Great come-back from Australia

    Thanks to both teams
    well ahead of others !!!

    I almost feel sorry for the Wallabies.

    But then Australia have this year won the Cricket WC (beating NZ).
    Their Ladies won the Netball WC (beating NZ).
    They hold the Rugby League WC. (beating NZ).

    So 3 out of 4 ain’t too bad.

    Commiserations to Steven Moore and his Team.
    It must be heart breaking to come so far,to fall at the final hurdle.

    To Brumby and Wallabie, your Team played a great game, a pleasure to watch, and classy in defeat. And that is not always an easy thing to do.

    cane.

    In 2007 Jake picked his World Cup winning team from the S14 finalists

    We were weak in S15 2015, and didn’t perform at this WC

    214b> @ MacroPolo:
    SARU het die land agter hulle gehad…totdat Meyer die mense van die Bokspan vervreem het.

    Hou op om Meyer se rol in die vervreemding te verskoon.

    Meyer moet 90-95% van die verantwoordelikheid vat. Die ander 10-5% is die verskoning wat BB ondersteuners van Meyer soek.

    @ Victoriabok:
    Hahaha…

    Hoe voel JY oor daai nuus? Happy

    What a game by a champion team.

    Carter, Nonu, Conrad Smith, Mc Caw…the rugby world bow down to you.

    Thanks for the great memories.

    You were responsible for taking Rugby Union to another level.

    Well done. You’ve earned every accolade that may come your way.

    RESPECT!!!

    Net nou die ander dag het ‘n Meyerriet verskoning gemaak deur te se dat Meyer eers ‘n week voor sy eerste toets sy eerste oefengroep kon bekend maak…dit was in 2012. Blykbaar was dit een van die redes waarom Meyer nooit die sukses as afrigter kon bereik as waarop die Meyerriete gereken het nie.

    Cjeika kry ‘n Aus span, minder as ‘n jaar voor die WB, en vat hulle na die finaal toe waar hulle teen waarskynlik die beste rugbyspan in die geskiedenis van rugby verloor.

    “Who’s fooling who”, soos my een vriend so lief is om te vra?

  • 231

    @ Victoriabok:
    Heyneke Meyer kry dalk tot R5 m. ’n jaar
    Sluit glo voor WB kontrak vir nóg 4 seisoene
    RAPPORT, 01. 11. 2015

    No doubt that if the story breaks in Rapport tomorrow, it is true.

    Phil Zaayman was the head rugby writer, and I think sports editor of Rapport, before he joined HM as media liaison officer.

    Makes sense that Rapport will get all the scoops afa Bok rugby is concerned.

    Broers vir broers, my bru.

    En al die Bulle ondersteuners soos GBS en Macro spring in die lug en skree, “whoop…whoop”

    R400 000+ (Vierhonderduisend+ rand) per maand… R13 000+ (Dertienduisend+ Rand per dag)… R500+ (Vyfhonderd+ Rand per uur) om dieselfde kak van die afgelope vier jaar te herhaal.

    Sit nog omtrent 15 assistente by, wat nie een minder as ‘n miljoen rand per jaar gaan verdien nie, en maak die somme oor hoeveel SARU gaan insteek onder aanvoering van die moegoe om die WB in 2019 te probeer wen…net aan salarisse.

    Vokkol met oefenkampe en al daai goed te doen nie.

    It was so strange to watch the seniors (Mc Caw, Carter, Nonu, Conrad) in the AB team tonight producing the goods compared to our seniors last night (Habana, Beast, FdP, Matfield).

    Just such a moerse difference in performance on the day.

  • 234

    Some rugby myths were dispelled tonight after the final.

    1. AB cannot win a RWC AWAY from home.
    2. DEFENCE wins world cups.
    3. FETCHERS are the key to win matches.
    4. Veldsman is a kak TMO.

    Just want to use this opportunity to congratulate my good mate, Nortie, on winning the Superbru competition on this site. Hope you made a bundle on your money bru, bro.

    Also, to the proverbial bridesmaid on bru this season, Rugbyprof, well done my fellow WP/Stormer supporter. Second in the CC bru (behind a certain Nama Wink) and now second again behind Nortie. Better luck next time.

  • 236

    Hopefully my sleeping patterns will come right after a great tournament…one of the best if not the best…just one more early rise with the kiwis v great Britain tomorrow….

  • 237

    Well done All Blacks. Well deserved win against the Wallabies. Congrats to all the AB supporters here.

    This game just shows that Boks even with their braindead game plan is still the ABs biggest rivals. We came so close and could have won that semi had Matfield not done that neckroll and got our penalty reversed. Also braindead
    coach of ours not replacing Fourie when he was having a bad game in the wet conditions that is the only time Ruan would have been better and should have yanked Pollard off after 30 min that had a shocking tactical game as well and brought on the better tactical kicker in Lambie. But its all gone and dusted now. Just hope we get a new Bok coach for next year or if Meyer is there all his assisants must go and he has to surround himself with kiwi assisants they the best or the very best in SA or from anywhere in the world I dont care where from but we need the best to coach our Boks.

    ABs just looked yesterday 50 levels better than the Aussies. Only Boks put them under pressure no other team and even then they knew how to come out winners. A real championship team that we may never see the likes of again. They were in the last 4 years just brilliant. All their supporters should be very proud of their team. Go and celebrate Cane and all the other kiwis here have a few glasses of red on me. Your team were awesome yesterday and I supported them against the Aussies.

    227 @ Nama:
    Jy verstaan verkeerd. Dit is meyer se skuld ook dat die land vervreem van die bok span… Maar dit was nou op SARU se skouers om oor te begin, goed of sleg in n effort om weer almal agter die bok span te kry.

    London – As far as job reviews go, it was heartfelt and convincing.

    A typically impassioned Heyneke Meyer, the coach of South Africa, said his players can go home with their heads held high after finishing third in the Rugby World Cup on Friday, but “I’m always going to look back and wonder ‘what could I have done better’?” (You still don’t know?)

    Meyer faces a review of his performance when he gets back, but hopes to stay involved in a team he believes is on the verge of greatness.

    Beating Argentina 24-13 in the third-place playoff brought both relief and sadness for Meyer. Sadness that they didn’t win the Rugby World Cup, and relief because it was a brutal year.

    It started with narrow losses to Australia and New Zealand, then an historic home loss to Argentina. They restored some pride by winning the return match in Buenos Aires, and Meyer wished they had a couple of more weeks before the World Cup to allow healing players to gain fitness. (Why take them along if they were still unfit?)

    OK…het jou.

    Soos dit egter klink gaan ons maar dieselfde strooi moet opvreet oor die volgende vier jaar.
