    @ grootblousmile:
    We don’t play as a unit yet. The raw material is definitely there. We need to establish the best players and then stick with them. Goose and Elton can both do the job. Morne is limited to his kicking when on form. Our defense is too leaky, on and off. We lack consistency more than technical proficiency.

  • 362

    Wat die toekoms betref, JDV is nie die kaptein wat ons verder kan vat nie, en met beserings en gebrek aan vorm van sekere kapteins, is die opsies nie veel nie. Ons soek nog ‘n kaptein, verkieslik ‘n jonger man wat die span verder kan vat, en ek is ‘n groot voorstander dat dit ‘n voorspeler moet wees.

    356@ @ Just For Kicks:
    Perfectly summed up! We are squabbling over players and technical things. They play as a unit, BASTA!

    Our cohesive unit is easy to break down…. pity

  • 366

    the experts on SS is really taking us more apart than the ABs did

  • 367

    Bokke started so well… till the All Blacks managed to read us perfectly

  • 368

    @ bdb:
    stem saam , ons moet n Greame Smith tipe leier kry, jonk, windgat en self versekerd

  • 369

    @ superBul:You’ll never see me in an AB’s shirt – at least exposed, anyway, hehehe.

    I feel we are spending too much time slagging off our team. We shouldn’t. They played to their potential, and were outplayed by a vastly superior side. Simple as that.

    I still believe we have the talent in this country to play rugby that can easily match the AB’s. We simply don’t have the brain power or the experience up top to do this it seems. We need to go out and find the John Mitchells, Carlos Spencers, Eddie Jones’ of this world as consultants. With all respect in the world, the van Graans et al in coaching roles at this level really is a step too far.

    @ superBul:
    Wie?

  • 371

    I actually take a lot of positives away from this game and the whole season so far. We are slowly, and with HM it is a very slow process, discarding our weak players and discovering our top players. Loose trio is now sorted, Locks sorted, Front row still iffy, Scrummy iffy, Flyhalf sorted, Midfield with Fransie and partner iffy, Wings Habs and JPP and full back iffy.

    the headlines

    Boks a big flop at Soccer City
    New Zealand scored 20 unanswered second-half points to trounce South Africa 32-16 in their Castle Rugby Championship clash at Soccer City in…

    Sadly in SA our biggest lack is in the coaching department.

  • 374

    Hello again all, disapointing to see this result, of and the one from earlier this afternoon.

  • 375

    Sharks / Cheetahs game about to start… SS6

  • 376

    364: dit moet iemand wees wat ‘n sekere keuse in die bokspan is. Om eerlik te wees, ek weet nie wie dit tans is en wie teen 2015 op sy beste sal wees nie.

  • 377

    @ superBul:
    Are hopes were simply not realistic. The ABs are in another league to every one at the moment. Sure they may be beaten in a one off, but they won’t suffer 2 defeats in a row.

  • 378

    @ The_Young_Turk:
    Should be “Our hopes”

    wie ek ookal noem sal seker net so reaksie ontlok soos die naam Greame Smith gedoen het. Ek weet net een ding die ou wat sy naam ookal is sal gas gegee word deur ons , die ondersteuners. Maak dit sommer Josh Strauss en ek weet baie sal moan maar wie weet , gee die ou net n kans , hy is dalk klaar te oud

    373 @ The_Young_Turk:Exactly my point in comment 369. I would add Ostrich to that, but I feel that is just flogging a dead horse.

  • 381

    @ BullscotBok:Hi Bully, yeah sadness, but not too bad, AB’s outplayed a poor team still learning the ropes

  • 382

    Ons afrigters en spelers is met hierdie reeks, en veral vandag geweeg en heeltemal te lig bevind.

    Probleem is, die AB het een keer in 10 jaar ‘n slegte jaar. Ons het 2 keer in 10 jaar ‘n goeie jaar, dit is die verskil. Seker maar ons drinkwater ….

    @ bdb:
    We should just choose our best 15 and then nominate a captain. Don’t make this an issue. With good team spirit, the captaincy problem can be easily overcome. Maybe we in SA are too provincial. By time we learn to play as a nation and put the national team first.

    hell this hurts, i just cant take it, being beggars , being happy with the odd win, fark man we must dominate them. At this stage the All Blacks are no 1 , daylight is no 2 and we are somewhere lower down, will we be 4th after the Aussie game?

  • 385

    372: ek sien die opskrif is skielik verander na “Boks given a rugby lesson’

    PC geval ?

  • 386

    @ superBul:
    I feel your pain bru, but at least I think we can be confident of the number 2 spot for whatever that’s worth. Don’t see any other team in the world matching up at this stage.

    383: ja, soos die ou dae – die spelers kies die kaptein. Laerskooldae was dit die ou wat die bal die hoogste kan skop, hoërskooldae was dit die ou wat die hardste kan slaan.

    Iemand soos CJ Stander sou ‘n goeie bokkaptein gewees het, het die no nonsense houding maar dit lyk my hy is nie in guns by ons nuwe bokafrigter nie, hy is weg. Tragies.
