293: Yip.
290; Stem, ander spelers maak ook lelike foute, ook Juan het ‘n moontlike 7 weggegooi, hoop hy maak op daarmee met 2 drieë in die 2de helfte.
@ Pam Anderson:291
Its not so easy
Kom nou Super, die hele agterlyn jaag kak aan, nie net Frans nie. Zane sou vandag sekerlik net so swak soos sy maters gewees het. Op die stadium is dit ‘n eer om nie vir die bokke te speel nie.
@ superBul:285 – 3 coaches comes to mind?
Maybe a big loss here is what we need to get rif of the useless coaches. All 3 of them.
We put our pride behind us and BRING in for the first time a non-saffa coach. John Mitchell and Plumtree. They will turn this around pronto.
@ grootblousmile:
indeed GBS, rapid fire of the line. I hope they can keep it going. They have had to make a lot of tackles so far.
298@ Pam Anderson:
Yip, Spies is an absolute passenger!
Bit difficult to shine in his position in a game like this.
@ Treehugger:
look at the overhead view and see his positioning, he is not a experienced 15 end of story.
2nd half on
Bok culling!!!….it’s about bloody time we get rid of all the dead weight
@ Snoek:303 – Snoek, Zane is never the answer to FB. Also Fransie is not game fit and he is doing not too bad. The others have being playing together since June. Blame it on the others not the one that only joined the team last week. Give Fransie game time and he is a match winner. Mark my words he will be if he had been left to play since the Wales test. Blame it on PdV for dropping him.
Muir is out of his depth with the Boks so too is Gold and PdV they must all go. Bring in new coaches. I know it is a bit late but rather that than seeing this rubbish.
Yes Pam Anderson, we win this that will be the greatest come back by the Boks. Not sure if we will. Don’t count on it.
Pocock was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy offside there, fark!
@ superBul:308 – Ag, Super give it a rest. Spies is not great either nor is Morne Steyn and Habs is totally out of it.
Penalty Bokke, within range
Al wen ons hierdie een, wat ek twyfel, is dit nog steeds nie goed genoeg as daar 4 drieë teen jou gedruk word in 25 minute nie.
Lineout, 5m out
Come on Bokke….
2 inch thick runmp steak calling for the flames.
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyyy Gurthro!!
TMO
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Daar is die eerste drie,
Must be a try!!
Must be!
hierdie ref het n lekker attitude
Looks legit – will TMO call it?
Awarded, Bulls are coming to the party, big time!
Jy sien net Blou bul onderbroek daar van ou Guthro ! 🙂
Geeze….signal must be delayed into africa
Ozzies 31 / 20
11 Points in it

Nice one Steenkamp. Maybe we in with a slight chance but only just.
