Too much space out wide….
Morne makes a huge kick again from a free kick
Springbok defence woeful, all over in the backline….
Try O’Connor… made to look easy
Bokke is swak…….. op die oomblik.
and another to O Connor . . .
that’s it Boks….give them that false sense of security!!…lol
Oom John het so bietjie hoog gegooi daar.
Get the boys together Smitty, and team talk time.
Ozzie 17 / 3
sadly, another bad miss from Habana; he is leaving his wing when he should be staying out.
Another good try Wallabies.
Boks defence is totally rubbish. They ran through us as if we were not even on the field. Really bad that from Boks.
Think we could be in for a good klap here today if we don’t wake up soon.

Nog so 2 driee, dan gaan ons hulle wys …..
Do we have a fullback on the field. Who is the guys who said the feel much safer with FS there????
@ Old Griquas 14 in Sydney:191 – OldG, Agree and Aplon should be playing instead of the totally out of form Habana.
@ superBul:195 – Super, Don’t even start on that. We have lost two tries again cause of Habana. You know that though.
Penalty right in front for Bokke
Ozzie 17 / 6
wallas defensive line is extraordinarily fast off the mark, inspiring stuff but can they sustain it all match???
@ grootblousmile:gbs – 3 points not going to get us anywhere. Go for the corner and play a bit brave here. WE need tries.
Jaque Fourie takes a gap a mile wide….
I can now understand what Tiaan Strauss meant this morning, when he said that we aren’t innovative enough, no fetcher like Brussouw and no line breaker like Juan de Jongh…..just ‘high kick and charge and pick and bash it up rugby’.
Can’t go to the WC 2011 with this lot, for sure.
agge nee koning juan
@ superBul:
ME 😡
@ Pietman:203 – Piet agree. We will have Brussow back next year. For now just bring on JdJ and Aplon.
There goes the Ozzies again, such silky runners of the ball
Try Moore?
TMO
agge nee fok man bokke….ruk tog net farking wakker
