59: zane het goed daar gevang het jy gesien.
I prefer a tough end of year tour.Lessons will be learned.We will come back at the Scots,who deserve all their points.
mmm ek gaan maar nie komentaar lewer nie die bokke suig maar effens
Penalty Bokke… Scots patently offside, hand slapping it down
Morné going for posts again
Scotland 12 / 9
Ja,ek se ook maar vir nou niks nie.
Hardloop Kanko verkeerde kant toe, Aplon was oop.
Morne Steyn useless besides kicking for posts.
Kirchner as effective as a knitted condom.
Stegmann nowhere.

73@ Pam Anderson:
Ag Pam…. flok tog!
@gbs 75 hahahahaha
pam dan wag die engelse volgende week.muir is moontelik die swakste agterlyn afrigter in s.a.
76@ smallies72:
Nee hel, hy moet sy ander oog ook oopmaak
@pam anderson as dit nie vir steyn se usseless skopvoet was nie was die bokke nou 0 uit 3 toetse
Ai, die blerrie Bokke verbeter nie! Goeie defence teen die einde.
Ag please GBS.
Those 3 are nowhere.
BUT we are still trying to play an outdated gameplan.
We pay like this against the poms and we will get a big hiding
as ons so speel teen die poms gaan dit nag wees
@ Pam Anderson:81 – Pam, Agree we are playing a very outdated game. It wont work against the English, French, AB’s or Wallabies. It is hardly working even against the Scots. Boks look clueless out there. Just kick, kick and more kicking or bashing it up is just plain useless.
Eish, eish, eish…………….. bokke sokkel lekke vandag!
81@ Pam Anderson:
Poms are only up 6 / 3 against Samoa….. halftime there
Those 3 are exactly the same as the other 12 Bokke…. don’t look for convenient scapegoats
So we rely on a kicker?
Sad days indeed.
2nd Half on
@ puma and who is resposibile for this game plan mr dick of i played under mac for natal and can only crash and bash muer 🙂
@ smallies72:79 – Smallies, brother we have to stop thinking of just getting 3 damn points from penalties. WE need tries to take on the big teams. We are hardly doing it against the Scots with this outdated game we play. Rain or no rain we MUST keep possession. Tries is what we need but we are useless boeta. Boks look totally clueless out there.
scapecoat habana is gone,nie dat sy replacement wing beter vaar nie want hy sien nie bal nie.
