Now it will be interesting to see How HM approaches the next test. He has seen enough now, will he make some changes?

384@ The_Young_Turk:
On todays performances by SA and NZ, there would only be one winner,and I think they would be wearing black, BUT lots to work with for the Boks.
Not too shabby at all.
Don’t expect too many changes to the side, maybe Lambie on for Zane and Pienaar on for Hougie…. the other 2 to drop to the bench, as is
Well, first one is in the bag… the one we all worried about
Yip, Alberts should go to 8 and Spoes out. Bring back Brussouw.
@ grootblousmile:
Stem saam Rudi,
400 Comments is up…. well done
twee jong slotte het ook goed gedoen
@ grootblousmile:
Now we can all go home?
402 @ The_Young_Turk:
Why?
@ grootblousmile:
We passed 400!
Or do you have chocolates for us?
Arg speel nog teen Italie vanaand en dit is die French Top 14 finaal tussen Toulouse (Gurthro) vs Toulon (Bakkies en Joe)
404 @ The_Young_Turk:
So what!
Tell me, did you see some semblances of positive playing patterns going forward?
@ bdb:
Ok, I’ll have to watch the Azzurri!
@ grootblousmile:
Yes, was a lot more positive than I was expecting. A bit more nuanced than just kicking the ball all the time so if HM is evolving steadily then that’s great.
409 @ The_Young_Turk:
I thought so too…
Just want the Bokke to cut out this worm thing man, FFS!
Actually only change i would make next week is Lambie for Kirchner, we mustnt forget this is the first test for us in around a year
So Bob thinks Spoes was rubbish, and Mallett thinks he played well who do you listen too?
Also the positive thing for HM is the depth he has at his disposal. I think Frans Steyn will get better over the next tests too.
HM peuter nie sommer aan ‘n wenspan nie.
I see I’ve increased my lead on the Bru pool… heeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaa
@ Just For Kicks:
To be honest, it’s not that Spoes was rubbish, he just wasn’t great, ordinary would be a better description.
414 @ bdb:
Dis reg so, en hy moenie… Lambie was goed egter toe hy opgekom het
I like Lancaster, very open and honest
416 @ The_Young_Turk:
Spies was good enough, it’s just that Willem Alberts and Marcell Coetzee was freegin awesome.
Spies was very solid, made his tackles, took the ball up well enough
412: wie weet die meeste van rugby van die twee ?
