You know I rate JdV as captain but really we should take the 3 points when we get a penalty, whether he trusts that Morne will get it or not.
Damn it we should always take the 3 points.
@ bos_otter:
As hy nie NOU vinger trek nie is dit sy laaste game vir die Bokke..
Pienaar maak klaar n verskil, Jantjies is oppad, dink ek.
Come on now Bokke!
Bissie, not in straight
@ bdb,
Nope, not wushing the Boks to lose, besides, a loss, will not faze Heynecke to the extent of dropping his favourite sons. You mean like some people wished the Boks would lose so that P Divvy, could get fired lol.
We all want the Boks to win, and we all want the best players on the field, not the coach’s favourites. I am holding judgement, because Meyer had little time to prepare, that is the only plausible explanation, for some of his selections. We aren’t quering the number of Bulks players, more the quality of some selected, over arguably better players. Now we have been down thus road. Sponge Bob, over Lambie?
Hougaard, and Steyn, have been below par, even for the Bulls.
@ Pietman:
LOL, jy moet oppas, Bidibi hoor vir jou.
150@ bdb:
Ek se so ook…hehehe.
Jacques Potgieter off, Kankowski on
Flip van der Merwe also on for Etsebeth
25 Minutes left in the game… Bokke still 2 points behind
We’re really scraping the barrel now. It will just be a tremendous relief if the Boks can win this one. There is no hope of a comprehensive victory
Come on Bokke! Get some momentum going, and get points on the board.
Now we have to play tactically clever…
Bokke penalty, on their own side of halfway… need a good touchfinder now… and do
Gaan binnekort afskakel…kan nie meer veel van die kuk kyk nie
Boks have not been able to take any advantage of being a man up.
Bokke very close
Olivier is having a good game. Amazing what the yen can do?
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyy JP Pietersen!
Yes!!!!! soveel beter
Try! Much better Bokke!
JP !!!
Finally the try!
TRYYYYYYYYYY JPP YESSSSSSSSSS
Go BOkke
Pienaar jou doring!
Meisiekind het n moosa game.
Ruan has made a big difference.
Damm….very nice try
Springboks 14 / 11 England
164@ The_Young_Turk:
You spoke too soon…. 😛

Adriaan Strauss on for Bissie
Morne might cost us this game
