    @ Ben-die-Bul:
    Coenie was nie sleg op loskop vandag nie… Met Trev op vaskop kan Jannie maar nog n week rus

  • 214

    @ Vrystaat:
    Yep, last line of defense has been a bit of a hit and miss lately.

    Still not impressed with the 1st half and not going to get too excited by the end margin, the fact we didn’t concede is more important and also that our back got opportunities to cut loose in the second 40 is what pleases me the most

    Yip, geen beserings nie… dis die beste van alles!

    Alberts ook?

    Hoe het hy gespeel?

  • 216

    @ Victoriabok:
    Alberts gaan nog n beast wees by die knockouts.

  • 217

    Ja, nou begin die regte rugby, shows is verby.

    Ek hoop net HM het ‘n plan B.

    Plan A is duidelik, alles gaan oor FDP, Allende wat crashball vat en dryfbewegings. So al die spanne gaan van nou af vir FDP target. En die beter spanne gaan fisies net so sterk of self sterker wees.

    Ons benodig meer planne om 10 en 15, vir afwisseling en onvoorspelbaarheid.

    Hoesit…jou adopted span is my hero’s, jy moet vir hulle by die lughawe gaan wag en vir hulle se ek en Brumbiesboy is baie mal oor hulle en se dankie

    I think it was because of FDP’s poor first half… after the first try in the second half the guys started to relax a bit more… Looked like the guys was very nervous about this game, especially after what happened against Japan.

    We will be better up for it in the quarters…whether it is good enough, we will have to see.

    Haal vir Schalk uit die 10 channel uit en die opposite gaan gebamboozle wees

    As hy nie nie beseer is nie

  • 222

    216: iets waaroor ek wonder is wat die beste gaan wees, met Alberts of Burger begin. Ek dink Burger sal ‘n groter impak maak die laaste 20, maar weet nie of Alberts al reg is vir 60 min nie ?

  • 223

    Damian de Allende awarded Man Of The Match!

  • 224

    @ Ben-die-Bul:
    Burger doen genoeg om hulle sag te maak in die eerste 60 minute.

  • 225

    220: jip, een van die vleuels of heelagter moet meer van 10 afhardloop, Eben is nou weg daar, maar Burger hang nog te veel daar rond.

  • 226

    222 @ Ben-die-Bul:
    Ek dink nie mens moet NOU torring aan ‘n goeie lostrio nie…

    Alberts se impak van die bench af was baie goed vandag.

    Hulle was ongelukkig om nie te wen nie

    Die wedstryd teen Italië was een van die bestes

    Hulle kort net ‘n losskakel of ‘n ander skopper

    Hulle is meestal amateurs, baie van hulle swot nog

    Schalk was goed vandag, die paar keer wat hy op 10 was het hy n paar offloads gemaak, hy het nie oor almal try hardloop van 20 ver af nie

  • 229

    228: so jou 9 en 10 vir Wallis/Aus is Pienaar en Burger ? 😯

    ja en serfontein op 12 😉

  • 231

    230: vleuels Vic en JDV ?

  • 232

    231 @ Ben-die-Bul:
    Man, Victor is ‘n senter, nie ‘n vleuel nie!

    Hehehehe

  • 233

    232: jy is reg, ons moenie spelers uit posisie speel nie. 💡

  • 234

    233 @ Ben-die-Bul:
    Ja, Victor se beste posisie vir nou, is op die pawiljoen, langs Jean de Villiers!

    Ruan Pienaar het ook goed gelyk op die pawiljoen!

    Selfs Lambie het uitstekend vertoon op die pawiljoen!

    @ nortie:

    “Now for Wales. Can’t see Wales stopping the Boks”

    Ag no man Nortie, now you’re starting to sound like one of the “glass is half full” brigade … was one win against the American B team really all it took to make you abandon your pessimism? Yee of little faith;-)

    Anyway, I have no problems imagining Wales stopping the Boks (unless Wales’ injury toll keep mounting). If I remember correctly, they actually beat the Boks the last time they met. I haven’t seen much to convince me that the Boks have improved since then. Need I remind you that the Boks have lost against both Argentina and Japan this year? Wins against Scotland B and USA B do not erase those facts.

    235 @ Vrystaat:
    I also wonder just how good was this display?

    I think that to all suddenly start believing that the final 30 minutes of yesterday’s game is a sign of things to come could well be a disaster in the making.

    Sure, the cohesion was better, but let’s look at the level of the opposition. I think this USA team would have battled to beat the Valke!

    They were crap.

    Hello boys
    Could not see the match

    How did our two Stade Français men
    Steyn and Meyer

    Thanks in advance for the feed back

    Guess you will wear a yellow jersey tomorrow…

  • 238

    The best thing about this game was no injuries and game time for some of the important combo’s. like 2-4-5 and 9-10-12.

    Like a practice contact session.

    Nice to pick up the 5 points and get some player confidence, but hopefully not too much cockiness.

  • 239

    We do know now that Frans Malherbe is a better 3 than Jannie by a country mile, and that Paige is a better 9 than Pienaar.
