    29 @ bdb:
    Ek stem 110% saam!

  • 32

    Ireland penalty, 5m out from the All Blacks line after good play, but not as clinical and penetrative as the All Blacks

  • 33

    Can the Irish produce another massive scrum?

  • 34

    All Blacks steal the ball at the back of the scrum… hacked ahead, Ireland loses 55m

  • 35

    wow, nz only have 39% of the possession at the moment
    and
    they lead by 26 – 0!!

    @ bdb:
    Yip we have to win well. It is non-negotiable for our road map for the future. Glad to see that the players also seem to be aware of it and don’t buy into this winning the series crap. The AB’s don’t think winning the series is good enough. Look at them today. They were moerse disappointed by their performance last week and not just relieved that they won. They have come out today determined to make up for the mistakes. the Boks must have the same attitude. The wins of the last 2 tests have not been good enough. far too much did not go right. We have to improve a lot, lot more. HM seems to fully support this view to, I am happy to see.

    41 @ ashley:
    Ten minste kan jy die game sien…

    gbs @ 42
    netso. bietjie te eensydig na my sin, maar nou ja

  • 44

    As Far as the Bok team goes, I would have preferred Little Joe to start as fullback and Aplon on the bench as cover as we have lost 3 fullbacks from the original 22. HM has felt he has to keep Basson as he did nothing wrong and didn’t have the chance to prove what he can do. This is a little worrying and I hope there won’t be injuries in the match to test this.

    Nog ‘n ding: AB’s maak heelwat veranderinge aan die span … en speel nog beter !

    So diepte is baie baie belangrik. Ons saffas moet al die provinsialisme los vir die super 15 en CB, maar in toetsrugby het jy nie net die ‘beste 15’ nodig om te oorheers nie, jy het 30 of meer topspelers nodig.

    Dit is daarom nie Morne OF Lambie nie, maar Steyn EN Lambie EN Goosen EN Pollard ens., Frans EN Wynand EN De Jong en Jan die BosveldBUL, Lambie EN Zane EN Joe P EN Aplon en Taute.

    Alberts EN JP EN Schalk EN Marcel

    Spies EN Vermeulen,

    ens.

    Veral omdat beserings ‘n werklikheid is, ons moet op die langtermyn in ‘n posisie kom waar een of twee beserings nie die einde van die wereld is nie, soos met Carter wat deur Cruden vervang is. En eers as jy ‘n kultuur van wen en kampioenskap het, kan die volgende topspeler makliker instap en aangaan waar die vorige topspelers uitgetree het of beseer is.

    Regte kombinasies, toewyding en Bokke eerste is die geheim van sukses, en hoe gouer al hierdie anti-hierdie-en-daardie provinsie se spelers ophou op toetsvlak, hoe beter vir ons rugby.

    So tot na vanmiddag is dit alles net groen, volgende week is dit alles weer net blou … of is dit nog pienk ? 😉

    Morning everyone,

    Jeez this is a one sided game this week. Damn pity I missed the Aussie/Ireland game see the score was really close again this week. Thought that game was on after this game.

  • 48

    Just look at the AB coaches impression at halftime with the Blacks 26-0 ahead: not satisfied! They demand perfection! And we wonder why they are where they are.

  • 49

    44: sou ook vir Joe P eerder in beginspan of bank wou hê omdat hy ‘n klassieke heelagter is. Wie gaan heelagter speel as Aplon beseer word, JP ?

    puma @ 47
    also missed the assie/WALES game … why they had to go and change the bloody kick-off time only they will know!!

    44@ The_Young_Turk:
    Feel exactly the same. Said it here and on keo when the team was announced. I would have started with Joe at fb this week. I would always go with two goal kickers on the field. Now we only have Morne and if he is off his goal kicking like he was last week then we could be in trouble. Doubt HM will bring on Elton until the last 10min or so. Aplon is a really good player but think Joe is better at fb. His kicking game is good, his positional play is very good and he can kick at goals if need be. Also he can slot into fh if need be too. Should have been Joe to start and Aplon on the bench to cover fb and wing. Basson really can only cover wing. Very good under the high ball, has good speed but his defence is suspect. Should have been Kanko, Aplon and Ruan on the bench. Well that is what I would have done.

  • 52

    Try again to Sam Cane…

    All Blacks 36 / 0 Ireland

  • 53

    47: More Puma

    Iere gelukkig om nul op die telbord te hê.

  • 54

    Now once again we don’t have cover on the bench for fb. Basson has to cover there and his defence as we know is not the best. Very good under the high ball but not so sure about his kicking game. There Aplon is better. So just have to see. Hope we don’t lose another fb to injury this week.

    53@ bdb:
    More bdb.

    Have not watched much of this game at all. Just looked at the score and that alone put me off. Far too one sided to make for good viewing.

    50@ ashley:

    Howzit Ash,

    Yes agree, I really thought it was coming on after this game, so missed the whole damn thing. Great day too here for just sitting in and watching rugby. Overcast and a bit cool.

    “are you gay?”
    Delighted

    54: stem saam dat Joe beter fb is as Aplon, maar wat verdediging betref is Basson, Aplon en Joe min of meer op dieselfde vlak. Ons beste verdedigers in die agterste driehoek is Habana, JPP en Zane. Lambie se verdediging is ook baie op en af.
