England turning the Bok ruck over far too easily for my liking.
Doef- doef, niks. Doef doef, niks …
Bokke penalty, Etsebeth taken out in the air in the lineout
The Sharks front 3 not having a good game. Bring on the subs.
Need to get Coenie on to steal some ball….the bloke’s being out shinning Brussow in stealing ball this year in Super Rugby
Boks missing Brussouw.
Ah, hand in the scrum by the England blindsider… penalty Bokke
Kick at goal
Varking stupid pom!
ai ai ai ons beskerm nie die bal nie
Missed right
Lemoenetyd
Can you believe it! Stain misses!
What farking shit camera shot was that of the penalty??
SS plumbing the depths again.
Twots
So glad to see SA not just kicking each penalty….shows real eagerness to take them head on….LOVE this game. Boks to come back a lot stronger 2nd half. Eng played their hearts out until now, but SA the better team imo
The wider the Bokke would make a ruck, on their own ball, the more the scrummie is protected… it’s far more difficult to get at the scrummie if you have to run around in a half circle, than to run straight at the scrummie’s kicking leg.
Simple dynamics
182@ bdb:Brilliant summation of the first half, couldn’t have put it better myself!!! Hehehe
190@ grootblousmile:
Don’t know about oranges, a large OBS might help a bit more.
Poms proably the happier buch in the shed.
@ The_Young_Turk:
Where’s Lambie?
Boks have had most of the possession and play but couldn’t finish. Bissy, Beast and Jannie scrumming well but nowhere in other areas. Hoogard having a bad game. Alberts some good runs, Spies up to his usual standard namely useless. Habs has looked very dangerous and exciting.
Al ouens wat goed lyk is Habana en Alberts, die res is gemiddeld tot stil.
193@ grootblousmile:You can’t go wider if theres no one there, and the Boks just aren’t committing numbers
@ bean1:
Yip, Bambie would be better than Stain.
I see our national Soccer side only managed a draw against the African giants of the sport Botswana!!!
And we think Rugby has problems!
Simple tweaks would greatly assist and protect the scrummie, for Hougie to be much more effective.
Bokke ball needs to made quicker too, to slow out the back of rucks, giving England time to set their defences with ease
@ The_Young_Turk:
just stiring it really, but I think so too
199@ bdb:Marcel has had a blinder too
It seems that there isn’t much heart in there at the moment – Habs is giving his all but the others need shaking up a bit – flat footed and no real agression in the defense
200 @ Just For Kicks:
When there’s a wurmpie, all the Bokke forwards are there… spread out rather than make the freegin wurmpie
197: op die bank.
31@ grootblousmile:
Only saw your comment now. Played State Mines 2 weeks ago, playing Royal Oak tomorrow at 07h21.
Could be a wee bit chilly.
JP is asleep I think – WAKE UP BOKKE – You know you’re better than that
