Aerial ping pong…. goodness… still agood game
@ Sharks_forever:
Agree.notice how these teams use the kick to get the trench defensive lines to dissolve. The moment the defence get organised into flat lying trenches they utile. The tactical kick to open the game up.
It all starts at scrummie… making and taking the right options…. then down the backline to players who are not sterile.
It is actually playing for the Sharks that has won freddy his place back in the fRrench team,
And Smiles almost orgasms as the Pumas kick once more.
Another almost try from a kick. Wild pass butchered the try. Should have used another grubber.
@ McLook:
Agree 100% boet,
@ grootblousmile:
Also agree with you Rudi, is it Zruan?? or is it Ruan under instructions??/ we dont honestly know?? but a quick ball is always dangerous
More kicking in this game than the Bokke game, that’s for sure.
And Freddy kicks again and Smiles wants to kiss him as this proves that HM is the best coach in the world.
Zruan=Ruan
Difference is these teams can kick and run with the ball. We can only kick and smash it up in channels 1 and 2.
Try France – Nyanga
And Freddy kicks once more… oh wait it’s a conversion!
Another French try. More tries in this match than in all the bok matches this season.
71: nee wat, ons het tans juis nie iemand wat akkuraat kan skop nie.
France 24 / 13 Pumas
Awesome try by the French 6
Have to say the camera angle is awesome on this game, give you a feeling of being at the stadium, well you see so much more. The last two games that the Boks played felt as if the camerman missed too much sometimes.
Anyhow well done to France there.
Great game. Good running. Players creating lots of space. Even the kicking is good and exiting.
74 @ McLook:
Says a lot does it not Mclook? We are looking clueless it seems.
The difference between this game and the Bokke game is how fast the ground ball is made…. THAT gives so many options to attack, defensive lines not set…. execution good when the opportunity presents itself
Great game. Good running. Players creating lots of space. Even the kicking is good.
Michalak misses a penalty at goal
And Freddy kicks again and misses the penalty. See, he shouldn’t have kicked.
Pumas penalty just before halftime… kick to touch. Time for a lineout still
@ grootblousmile:
I also noticed the fast ground ball. It is because they have created a more open game (less trench stuff) with the kicking. None of the ‘own the breakdown’ obsessiveness.
Lemoenetyd

82: drop hom uit die span ?
78 @ McLook:
Agree very good game. I feel they are allowed to play the game without TOO much instruction or pressure. Good game and it is flowing well.
Wish our Boks could play with this freedom, we have the players just feel they have to stick to such a restrictive game plan. Pity! Also I get the feeling they fear to make mistakes, which should not be. That alone could cause too much pressure. Players learn by mistakes. This is a learning curve at this level for many players in this eoyt as it should be, they should be allowed the freedom to express themselves.
Ek is so gatvol vir die Walis flap flap break down rugby ek kan braak as ek dit sien. Hierdie rugby kan mens kyk.
