@ Puma,
Goosen got injured in the Chiefs match, round about the 20th April, and prognosis was three months. So he might be back, but better to start with Lambie, and ease Goosen in slowly.
Drop attempt…. by England…. baaaad one…. missed
Game Over
Not Steyn’s fault, the Poms had the better of us.
Poor display by all our forwards.
Bitterly, bitterly disappointed!
Sorry, maar nie goed genoeg nie. Hoop HM geen Morne n klap op sy boudtjies vannaand….flippen idiot!!
213@ Cheetah4eva:
Ja thought he might not be ready with that injury. So we need to play Lambie at fh for the RC coming up. HOPE Meyer has the guts to do it. Morne really was not great without Fransie at 12.
Goosen definitely for the future though. He will be there next year have no doubt. Well he will be there for the eoyt. For now Meyer should play Lambie there.
Final Score: Springboks 14 / 14 England
Now I have to live with Pom tossers regarding this as a victory.

fuck this shit….later guys. Kuk performance from the boks…end of
Draw! Well I suppose this could have ended worse, the way things went pear shaped in this game. Meyer will have to get his brains trust together real fast. The AB’s were on fire today.
Well on the positive we NEVER lost to England this series. BUT their tales will be up for the eoyt. This is the best they have done against us in the last 10 games. We need to go over there and klap them.
WE MISSED ALBERTS TONIGHT. Jeez we really missed him huge. Also Fransie.
Well, I know one thing… I’ll support Lambie or Goosen and won’t single them out for whatever woes might follow.
Morné Steyn needs to have Flok Celliers bring his kicking game back up to speed, the Bokke kicking coach has failed at it
220@ The_Young_Turk:
Well you should not. They have won buggerall. So tell em…hehe.
We missed Alberts huge tonight.
218 @ Puma
Agree, we can only hope, Hougaard at SH also hasn’t lived up to the hype. We need quick passes, like Ruan’s to unleash Goosen. Maybe Ruan to tutor young van Zyl, and use Hougaard as an impact player. Your thoughts?
Gee Lambie ‘n kans in die 4 nasies, laat ons sien. Morne se algemene spel is goed, maar sy skopvoet het selfvertroue verloor, weet nie wat die probleem daar is nie. As HM vir Morne wil behou, sit vir Joe P op heelagter en Ruan op skrummie en laat een van hulle die pale toe skop doen.
@ bdb,
Ook ‘n opsie, klink amper jy hoop Lambie maak dit nie? Dit sal mos nou ‘n geval wees van die ketel wat die pot ‘n kleurling noem lol?
225@ grootblousmile:
Braam Van Straaten. Bring him in as kicking coach. Well Percy done well when he was kicking coach as well.
You know our best kicking coach sits at SuperSport. Why don’t they bring in Naas?
Die 3 nuwe spelers het nie veel verkeerd gedoen nie, maar ook nie ‘n impak gemaak nie: Jacques, WO, Aplon.
225@ GBS,
Unfortunately, high trees, get the strongest wind. Steyn as pivot, is supposed to be the general. If he doesn’t, he will get singled out.
227@ Cheetah4eva:
Yes Ruan was very good tonight, his service is much quicker. Though last week he was not as good as Hougaard. Hougaard I feel not playing his natural game. I also like Van Zyl he should be brought in. Even if he is not selected and goes with the team and tours for the RC that is a start for next year. Bring him in. We really short on shs much as we are on fbs.
231 @ bdb,
I was actually pleasantly surprised by Olivier. He ran strongly, and defended well. One of his better tests imo
230 @ Puma:
Braam assists the Aussies, if I’m not mistaken.
Vlok Celliers is Morné’s kicking coach at the Bulls and it’s worked for years to make him so accurate as he was before all this nonsense.
Also, small mind tools… let him go back to his old successful boots… normal black boots, not these fancy new ones
Some astute observations by Mallett
229: nee, ek is nie jy nie, sal hom support.
Also we missed Alberts. Pretorius just not at the same level. Cheeta4eva, is Juan not coming back? What has happened to the great Juan? I know he had a chronic injury but you think he may be back? Alberts and who else is there then?
Lol, Morne’s boots not the problem. Getting married has maybe, shifted his focus a tad. Rugby isn’t all that matters anymore.
235@ grootblousmile:
I know Braam works with the Aussies but he is a free agent and can work shift work for any team. We should bring him in for a few weeks now to help out.
