We lose the Mandela cup once again and fall further behind a kuk Oz team in the record books. Oh the shame, it hurts so bad
Haai, die mense het ophou kerm….. hehehe
267 @ Gobble_BokJan:Becareful, you’re going to have to endure the wrath of GBS in a minute, but I am happy to take half the punch. This debacle 100% HM – and it is still a debacle if we win this match!
Wallabies scrum, seconds to go
269 @ grootblouBokJan: only following the game plan boss.
Wallabies win
272 @ grootblouBokJan:I don’t understand that statement, please explain
@ Just For Kicks:
Mate, it’s time GBS wakes up and smells the roses. We can’t sacrifice our national teams record for one mans ego!
Disgracefull!
Final Score: Wallabies 26 / 19 Springboks
Heyneke’s FIRST loss
Ai toggie….ek voel vir die arme ouens.
NOU gaan jy n geween hoor, Heyneke sal moet dikvel wees die volgende twee weke.
And HM’s record is played 6, won 3, drew 2 and lost 1!
Well done Wallabies.
Just have no words really. A game we should have dominated we actually lose. Damn shame really.
Meyer should wake up. Goosen and Lambie made a huge difference the moment both came on. We needed them both on after the break not with 10min left to play. Our game plan is just useless to be honest we will get no where at all with it.
Well, maybe Lambie and Goosen will start at Forsyth Barr stadium, next week
Anyone, ANYONE who thinks Heyneke Meyer is a good coach, please explain you’re reasoning, without jumping down my throat. Because, I really believe, without a good explanation, I, as every other SA rugby supporter, has a right to have a right good go at him if no one can justify what he is doing.
Time to stand by the coach and the team…..no use calling for heads at this point in time.
@ Piet-Springbok-Jan:
The problem Piet is his stubbornness. It’s the refusal to learn from his mistakes. And we the supporters who pay and make this game and his salary possible, we have to suffer.
269 @ grootblouBokJan:
THAT is Meyers game plan. I truly hope he does not want to make Goosen into a Morne clone. That would be a bloody shame.
Actually Crusty was’nt bad….
I thought Marcell Coetzee was solid, Juandré Kruger too.
Pienaar was diabolically bad, sorry to say, chaps….. slow, slow, slow.
Doc Jannie was’nt good, Morné was’nt good.
286 @ Piet-Springbok-Jan:I think calling for heads right now is just the right thing, get someone in there to fix the rot before it’s too late – how is is possible to fark up Divvy’s farkup? This is history in the making!!!!
286 @ Piet-Springbok-Jan:
Yip, we have to stand by our side….
… and I do!
286 @ Piet-Springbok-Jan:
Piet, You are right, but Meyer’s game plan is out dated it don’t work at this level. We lost bru to a terrible Wallabie side that we should have thrashed. We lost the damn game playing a stupid game plan again…
284 @ grootblouBokJan: I hope not. I hope that Steyn starts.
Sideshow wasn’t THAT bad today.
I feel numb. It’s like watching a train smash in slow motion over and over again. You know what’s coming but there seems to be no way to avoid it. Now we will just concede the game to the All Blacks and hope HM will show some sense in the home games. What are the chances?
GBS, Crusty certainly had a better game than the others in the side, but he was certainly shown up when Lambie came on. He was ok in defence, kicks were very 50/50, attack was ok, no flare. But, and I stress, but, he wouldn’t make another international side in the world. Perhaps that puts it in a better perspective.
@ Gobble_BokJan:
Still not enough grunt up front, Beast and Jannie don’t do it for me. Loosis very unbalanced and individualistic.
2nd half we had no game plan, Jean’s game suffering under the burden of the captaincy, I think.
Come on, give the floor to Mallet
There has to be a change in 3 main things….
1. Keep more ball in hand
2. Value the freegin ground ball
3. Replace 2 key players… Morné Steyn and Kirchner.
Lambie and Goosen is better suited to achieve No 1 & 2
The New Zealanders must be licking their lips in anticipation.
@ Just For Kicks:
Yip, even PdV wasn’t this stubborn. At least he tried different things. This guy keeps bashing his head against his walkie talkie.
