@ grootblousmile:
think that ball was slapped out of his hand by a Eng player
@ grootblousmile:
@ bdb:
Hee hee, Stain supporters rushing to his defense. Touchy touchy.
That’s it, play in their half and heap the pressure on
89: hoor hoor !
Spies having a good game too, Hougie fast on the ball
Lol, the Bulls faithful not keen on the steyn bashing tonight. Facts are facts gents. Steyn, is on borrowed time. Heynecke, and injuries to Lambie and Goosen have given him a lifeline.
Compared to Australia (Barnes, Beale, Leiliafano, and Cooper), and the AB’s (Carter, Cruden, Barrett) much better served at FH then the Bokke.
Bokke scrumming lekker tonight
Bokke 6m out… 5
92: ja, ons ondersteun die bokke, wie ondersteun jy ? 😉
Arghhhh, Etsebeth knocks… hacked ahead
Etsebeth steals another England lineout
Boks pounding the England line continuously but just not able to break through and score.
Another bloody charge down! Bugger
Bokke scrum penalty… to relieve the pressure a bit
Jammer Eben vir die knock, bal is glad. Ons sal jou nie bash en uittrap en uit die span drop soos sekere ander mense nie ….
@ Cheetah4eva:
Carful, that you don’t get charged with blasphemy here.
Kick too deep by Hougie, marked
Lemoenetyd
@ Turkey,
The charge is nothing, it’s the conviction, that could be problematic! Lol.
The 2 untouchables of the Springbulls – Stain and Spoes. Actually Spies has had a good game.
Think we might see Jantjies on soon
110 @ The_Young_Turk:
Not untouchable… but he’s added all 9 Bokke points, and his general game is very good, distributing well, attacking the gain line
105@ @ bdb:
Jy weet mos Stormpoppies kan niks verkeerd doen nie 😉
Come on Bokke too close for comfort here. Need to kick on after the half.
@ grootblousmile:
No, he’s done somethings well but too slow and indecisive at other times.
96: Goosen definitief oppad, niemand het daarmee ‘n probleem nie, maar laas toe ek gekyk het was hy beseer. Morne is nou in die groen trui en lyk my al wat jy en YT kan doen is om julle te verlekker in as hy foute maak. Sal nie verbaas wees as jy en YT hoop en bid dat die bokke verloor sodat Steyn gedrop kan word nie. Die ander ouens wat foute maak kan maar bly.
106: touchy.
@ Puma:
Jip, still anybody’s game, Poms keeping us tied up at mauls, their backline off-sides mostly. But Aplon to cut loose, as soon as we go wide.
Boks by 15 points.
Btw, howzit all you RT jobseekers, hehehehe!
So, who’s NOT playing well?
Whole front row doing their thing well
Juandre Kruger and Etsebeth doing well at lock
Looseforwards, competing well and their strike running has been good
Hougie nice and fast at the back, couple of kicks were dodgy
Apart from ONE miss, from a difficult attempt, Morné’s general game is miles ahead
Meisiekind doing well, no problems
Jean has had one telling run and his defence has been good
Habana and JP Pietersen doing good work
Gio Aplon had a shaky start, but he’s getting into it now, it seems
We should maul them like the Bokkies did, and Potgieter still has to come to the party and then all hell will break loose.
@ bdb:
Now I’m accused of not wanting the Boks to win just to get my satisfaction. You have a sad, sad mind mate. Don’t question or you will be labelled a traitor. Pathetic.
