Nee wat Londonbul, lyk my jy’t sopas onder ‘n klip uitklim! Al het ons al ons games op toer verloor, was Div veilig…

@ Rugbyprof:149 – That would have been better way. But Morne and Fransie missed a kick earlier too. It is all the kicking that has cost us mostly. We just don’t keep the ball in hand enough. We will lose to most teams by just keep kicking away our possession.
Moet goed teen Engeland ook verloor, dat ons ‘n heel nuwe afrigtingspan kan kry.
@ Rugbyprof:
Superrugby.co.za se dar Div gaan waai as hy 2 of meer games verloor. SA Rugby se natuurlik dis nie so nie, maar hulle ken van kak praat
Dankie tog net 2 wp manne in die span.
Less than a minute left
Next week we will be slaughtered. Don’t even want to think of what kinda score the English will put past us.
Being beanen by the SCOTS !!!!
W H A T !! ???
Scotland win by 4… Grand slam dreams in tatters
The only positive we can take for next year is we have plenty out injured. Not even sure if they will make a difference if we don’t change our gameplan.
Ek kyk nie weer ‘n game wat geref word die Stuart Dickinson nie. Wat ‘n patetiese mens.
Congrats to Scotland, they were the better team today!
Ek laat sak my kop in skaamte, pateties!
Well done Scotland. Deserved to win this one.
Asb fire snor!!
@ rugbybal:
Hy was kak, maar die Bokke was veel kaker
Ja well… who in the Bokke team shone today… maybe Bissie to an extent… and a bit from Alberts…. not much more.
Hope EVERYBODY now realises how important a good goal kicker is.

mmmmm……. ons moet dalk eerder kyk hoe swak die bokke gespeel het en hoeveel foute hulle gemaak het. Maar ja dit was ‘n swak game van Dickenson….
Flipping Hec…..!!
My bru also screwed!
SuperBul just phoned me… he said to tell you Dickenson was kak… and if he had the chance he would drown the bugger…. hehehe
Congrats to the Scots.
Congrats Scotland, well done!!
Nou, wil ek weet, wat was die Bokke se wedstrydplan vir hierdie wedstryd, aseblief se my?
Waar was ons voorspelers, is hulle op vakansie en op haggis en whisky allie tyd…..dis die kukste vertoning deur n Springbok-8tal wat ek gtesien het sedert die derde toets in 1974 op Boet Erasmus innie Baai…..hulle was fking hopeloos manne..,.,
172: vergeet dit, politiek sal dit nie toelaat nie. Solank politiek ons rugby afrig sal ons nooit die beste wees, soos die AB’s nie.
