385 @ Pietman:
Tjorts, ouboet!
Gaan jy nie die Frogs vs Wallabies saam met ons koekkeloer nie?
@ Just For Kicks:
We should play like that first 10 after the break, from KICK-OFF bru!
Ons agterlyn spel is Shyte. Ruck it up to recycle is al wat ons kon doen. Vleuels nie eenkeer in spasie gesit nie. Ergste was dat in die die 1ste helfte het die agterspelers ook nog die bal verloor as ons dit probeer ruck-up.
390 @ Loosehead:Yup, and thats going to be an uphill battle, hahaha. Even the Ostrich will be able to steer a win in that one. I have full confidence!
@ grootblousmile:
Ja, ek gaan saamkyk…..maar ek gaan nou eers n paar doppe vat en prawns braai jong, my tyres is pap, vandag 900 km rondgejaag hier deur die woesterny, was gou Koeweit toe vroegoggend. Lekker whiskey saamgebring, hehehehe!
I’m going to pack up and watch from bed for the next game, Notebook open in front of me.
OK, see you guys just now….
@ Just For Kicks:
hiyas Mc long time no see, we must not forget mate our forwards were poor in the first half, thus you backline will struggle, 2nd period they played more together asa unit and the backline suddenly was far better, meaning even when kicking up and unders they had more time.
@ grootblousmile:
bring vir my ook n dop
For me Ruan was MOM
CJ was crap.
Duanne, well a few turnovers but not much else.
Lambie……….poor mans Goosen.
Taute, nothing.
@ Sharks_forever:
Hel jong, ou Puma se kleinseun het amper my hart laat staan vandag….wat gaat aan, het die klong stagefright gehad? Ek het hom nog nooit so swak gesien as daai eerste 15 minute nie, hy het verlore gelyk.
No problem LK, never ever expected you to say anything positive about Lambie. I also never saw you giving a negative before when Goosen played KAK or missed kicks, or like when he missed a few tackles
……and JdV is very happy with the match. Houston, we have a problem!
@ Pietman:
Piet?? wys my wie het goed gespeel i daai eerste helde???
What 10 will play well when the whole team is playing shit??
he made his tackles, Hougaard taute Jandre to name a few were missing the tackles?? nou hoe nou??
Boet here is a fact, if Lambie was playing poorly?? HM would have subbed him??? did he??
PIet, in daai eerste helfte het die hele spamn kak gespeel, toe die voorspleres hulle werk gedoen het in die tweede helte het almal goed begin speel
also remember and even Naas said it, they tried the whole kicking game to start with which Lambie had to try change too, when they started keeping ball in hand?? can you still say Lambie was bad?? or Taute or Hougaard?
1 twice saw Locks missing tackles and Lambie having to cover for them and bring that person down??
@ Sharks_forever:
Ja swaer, is ook so, hulle was almal kuk daai eerste 15 ninute….moeilik vir n losskakel dan om the shine, heeltyd oppie agtervoet……
Maar wag vir Puma bru! Ons gaan lekker lag, kyk bietjie hoe gaat hy sy moer strip oor hierdie kommentaar, hehehehe!
Also with that victory i cant see HM making too many changes?? He is a coach that likes continuity,
Also the field broke up under foot, not sure how any of the kickers can be blammed for poor kicks
@ Pietman:
😆 piet waar broer, Puma is baie lief vir jong Lambie
@ Sharks_forever:
Let’s move to the Shaggers/Paddas thread.
And Credit to HM for not panicking after that first half as Lambie was good in the 2nd half, He stood by the Kid so Kudo’s to him.
Geluk aan die Bokke met ‘n slegte wen. Niemand het werklik goed gespeel nie, almal maar middelmatig.
Hehe, hoe lekker lag ek nou as ek hoor hoe Sharky (en later seker Puma) vir ou Lambtjops beskerm en verdedig, klink soos ons ou Bulle wat vir Morne probeer beskerm het.
Maar wat, as Lambie swak speel dan is dit mos die voorries en hele span se skuld …. maar Morne moet altyd goed speel ongeag hoe sleg sy voorries en die res van die span speel.
Eish ja.
Jeez the whole damn lot of you are blind. OUR Forwards in the first half were terrible, how can you blame our fh? Seriously I give up. The reason I stand up for the young fella, why get on Lambie’s case? If it was not for his tackles we may have been in more trouble. Why not pick on Taute, JdV, Hougaard and Zane in our backline hey! The younster put in some huge tackles. Remember our fh can only really get some good ball if our forwards are playing well. Our forwards were totally crap in the first half. 2nd half we picked it up.
Seriously why blame Lambie? Bloody hell knew the poor young lad would take flak from everyone. Please tell me how good was Hougie and Taute, JdV and Zane? They were damn terrible. Why blame a fh that has his first damn start after this bloody useless coach keeps him on the bench for 6 damn games? In any case Lambie’s defence was really top class. Can we not put that aside and look at the bloody useless, and I mean useless game plan we playing? Heaven forbid if we were playing ARG they would have sliced us up. Meyer is just totally useless as a Bok coach. Has not damn clue at all. Just watch some of these players with their franchise next year, they will look totally different. Sorry Meyer is totally out of his depth. We have all known it for a very long time now. No excuse he has to go.
Another thing is CJ was bloody terrible, why was he not replaced? Van der Merwe should have been brought on a lot damn sooner. I persoanlly thought our loose trio was good but hell they are bloody slow. Once Marcell came on thought we generated some speed there.
Anyhow I think it all boils down to the game plan. It is totally useless. Surely Meyer needs help or he has to just go after this tour.
I thought your grandson performed competently, Puma. But so did Krusty.
What you have to realise is that if you punt your Shark players as hard as you have done, you must accept that they will cop more flak that what is fair once they become the incumbents.
Simply put, if you want to dish it out, you need to be able to take it too.
And it has nothing to do with fair comment.
Crappy game, yes, the Boks improved in the second half, but this is very much a second string Irish team, we should never have been in a position where we had to improve in the second half, and should have beaten them by at least 10 points. Just take the win and move on.
