Bokkeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
Final Score: Springboks 17 / 16 Wales
Phew very lucky Boks!
Hel wat n stresvolle Sondag
Praat van too close for comfort.
Better team lost I’m afraid to say. Boks were outplayed for HUGE periods of this game.
The young guns pulled it through for the Boks. Bissie was huge when he came on, as was Houghie.
Lots to think about for Div. Hope the injuries aren’t serious.
Gents, enjoy the rest of the day.
Going to play golf now. Need to de-stress.

Moerrr daai bal vir my part ook!
My hart is in my keel!
Nothing wrong with this young Welsh side. They are going to cause a few headaches in this tournament.
Sjoe… ‘n wen met ‘n balhaar breedte!
Relieved… very relieved!
But this enforces my belief that the Bokke will not win this tournament, and be knocked out in the semi against the All Blacks.
At stages we looked totally rattled. I call this win a steal. FduP was not sharp, lack of game time, now build from here on, get to peak when the playoffs start. So too with many other players.
Schalk is too predictable, we must vary it when we drive up. He actually plays stuppid no ways with his body turning can he drive through a bad tackle, he fall all on his own.
Well how close was that?
Congratulations Bok’s…..you scraped it by a whisker!!
Did you enjoy that game boys??? Hehehheh

This is a perfect start at the end. Slow and some will write us off, exactly the way the Bulls do it , play scratchy rugby but win and them put foot on accelerator when it counts. See although we struggled my believe in our Boys is not gone. I stay with my team, the bus has started get on or …..
@ Blue Bird:
BB we love the result. We worked our arses off for this win, but a win is a win.
Naas just said a 1 point win is the same as a 40 point win. HAHAHA Naas nee jong darem nie regtig nie
Is there ANY doubt, any, that Bissie is the man who should start the big games?
Brussow was critical again… Morné Steyn was the right choice at flyhalf.
Hougie should start at the left wing.
Fransie Steyn was much better than I expected him to be.
Schalla & Spies was not so good, Alberts was good, Gurthro was good.
Just popping in before lunch starts.
Winning playing ugly rugby sure beats losing playing the beautiful game.
Now what about our injuries… Victor Matfield & Jean de Villiers?
That so called missed kick will be discussed whole week
What happened to JDV and VM? Were they injured?
@ Loosehead:
Div se hulle praat nie nou, more kyk hulle na hulle en dan besluit hulle, so moenie worry nie die dokters sal hul fix. Geen kommentaar.
208 @ Loosehead:
Yip… Victor looked like he carries a leg niggle… Jean might have popped a rib or something
