Penalty Bokke, from the scrum
118 @ Piet-Springbok-Jan:Blatant head butt, not hard, but blatant.
AARGH! Just when we had the chance to start exerting some dominance, we lose a player. Now have to survive until the break
Goeie touch Morne
118 @ Piet-Springbok-Jan:
Head butt op Sharpe
120 @ grootblouBokJan:OK, nothing special, but he’s knackered. The time on the bench couldn’t have come at a better time for him!
Flok, stadige bal… kom nou Pienaar, man!
Boks sooo slow to protect the ball on the ground. It’s as if psychologically they don’t want the ball.
And Steyn kicks the hard fought possession away.
We’re just not reading the play, right idea by Hougie, but wrong time to do it.
Happy Birthday GBS
Hougie has looked dangerous everytime. He has so much more freedom on the wing.
@ Just For Kicks:
@ grootblouBokJan:
Thx. Hope he learns from this…
131 @ bean1:
Thanks Beanie!
Howzit again manne. The biggest thing that annoys me about Ruan is that he stuffs around behind the ruck with the ball on the ground too much. In the end we almost always get counter rucked and turn it over.
Gives me the Horries.
120 @ grootblouBokJan: nothing special, but ok.
Lemoenetyd
I have to say, any rubbish we can dish up, and we are certainly doing that, the Wobblies are doing the same thing far worse!
Oh ja, and Happy Birthday Rudi.
135 @ BobbejanklimdiebergStormersboySpringbokJan:
Have to agree with you.
Boks deserve to lead. These Wobblies are not good enough but you still have to respect what they can do and not play into their hands. Their only hope is to run at the Boks and break through so don’t give them so much ball.
Saw that headbutt now on the replay, he is gone for sure, one month at least.
OK, so we have the lead… and it’s half a dozen of the one and six of the other in our performance.
e’ve looked good when we have kept ball in hand and when we have been patient.
Ruan is too slow behind the rucks…… we’re getting tediously slow ball to work with
Nie slegte eerste helfte van die bokke nie.
139 @ BobbejanklimdiebergStormersboySpringbokJan:
Thanks Bobbers!
We going to still be a man short for 3 mins of the second half. If we can survive without conceding any points, we should take this match comfortably. We can’t afford that the Wobblies get ahead. We will struggle to win from behind.
144 @ PumaSpringbokJan:
Thanks Rickety Knees…. gaining ground on you now in the age stakes…. hehehe
Apart from 30 seconds of brilliant rugby leading to a try, the rest of what I have seen so far today, has been the worst since HM took over. At least in Mendoza, we could use the excuse that we were being bullied into bad rugby, but here, no excuse. It is absolutely hideous rugby. When are we going to learn. Right now I would rather see the Boks lose the match playing running rugby than just win playing like this. Because surely it is plain to see that ultimately this is losing rugby. I hate it, just hate it. Farking dreadful, this is. I am now really going to start aiming my abuse HM’s way. Awful, awful, awful
Arnold Geerts looking decidedly old…. poor chap…. and I’m still sooooo young…. hahaha
