Bokke look to a team that used to play rugby.
If this is what we must expect for the next few years then I am not watching Bok rugby.
Thank goodness Durbanville have a great club team.
Don’t worry if we lose. We just do what we usually do and that is blame the Bulls and the Sharks
209 @ Just For Kicks:
Best I think, if they completely ignore everything that has been coached into them and play their natural game.
@ bean1:
HM can brainwash players quickly!
@ grootblousmile:
Penalty count 11-5 against us
And i Agree we need to get our forwards to play more together
@ Loosehead:
Players excell in provincial games…..and then they get drafted into the Bok camp a turn into ordinary club players again, wtf is this?
Look at Lambie and Taute, they have left their natural game back home.
Fark… maybe Lambie is’nt up to all the hype around him in big company, at flyhalf!
After watching the CC and 4 Nations. Is this the best team we can field in this country?
Maybe Hougie to scrummie, snipe around the edges?
Anybody?
Mallett very restrained in his commets – ‘none of us expected a half like that’.
Juan de Jongh would HAVE to come on, we need impetus on attack!
@ bean1:
10000% Beanie….as simple as that. They are making it complicated.
This is to be expected. I mean nothing says desperate like recalling Mujati
219 @ Bliksem:apparently so!
I long for the days of PDV!
@ grootblousmile:
And Brits as well.
Hoe kuk is Jean net nie vanaand nie, ek vra jou!
2Nd Half on… Bokke penalty… very kickable
Kicking to the corner… lineout 10m out
…..and now, surely go for posts. Loads of time left
@ Loosehead:
You mean John Smit as they were coaching the team not PdV
Matfield looks like a bit player in one of those old spaggetti westerns.
Having said that, good maul
Ireland offside at the ruck… advantage
Penalty Bokke again… Yellow for Heaslip
A yellow for Ireland
226 @ Loosehead:Me too, how sad is that!!!!!!
Dis nou beter! Moes laaaaankal hierdie bottel geknak het!!!
Come on Bokke!
Yet another Bokke penalty… quick tap
