Ek dink ons het konsensus die Bokkies was slap en pap en die Walsmanne het tog die wen verdien, Nou kom ons kyk wat Engeland kan doen teen n ewe paperige All Black Colts span. Hulle was ook maar flouerig die jaar
271 @ superBul:
Ek sallie verbaas wees as die Ingelse laaities hulle ook farktup scrum nie
@ superBul:
Nee wat, ABs gaan die Engelse opneuk, lobola of nie lobola nie!
Where was the Junior Bokkies superior conditioning?
Where was their finesse?
Where was the BASICS?
266-268: nou praat julle, ons was nog altyd bekend vir ons sterk skrum en aggresiewe voorspelers, maar dit lyk of dit verdwyn, raak ‘n klom softies, die baby soft generation.
Kom ons skuiwe oor na die ander draadjie
@ grootblousmile:
272
teen Aus was die ABs rug teen die muur en die klok het hul gered. My lekker laat kry om n NZ span so te sien
@ ben-die-bul:
Man Bidi, weet wat dink ek? Ons maak te n ophef van individuele spelers in SA. Dan maak ons staat op 3 of 4 ouens se briljantheid, instede van die SPAN. Kyk daai Kings van die Baai as voorbeeld, hulle speel as n hegte eenheid, nie as briljante enkelinge nie.
Die Bokkies se SPANWERK was vrotsig. En so ook die Bokke laas Saterdag op Nelspruit,
278: hoe waar is dit nie, dit is slegs in ‘n goeie spanverband wat ‘n goeie speler na vore kan kom. ‘n Span maak nooit net op een speler vertrou nie, en dit vat ‘n goeie afrigter om ‘n span saam te snoer tot ‘n kampioenspan, nie maklike werk nie.
Theron en Venter is goeie afrigters, maar hul kon van die begin af die span se balans nie reg kry nie, veral nie 1-3 en 9,10,12,13 nie.
266 @ grootblousmile:
Exactly agree. They looked listless no passion at all. Just look at the team last year they had it all. That final against the ABs was the game of the year for me. That was a brilliant Bokkie team. This team looked like they were not interested from the start. I just hope that Brendon Venter don’t come with that game plan to the Sharks. Expected better from him and also the head coach.
256 @ Pietman:
For sure Piet, there was no passion there.
280 @ Puma:
Your kak is booked, with Venter…. hehehe
Baby Boks coach Dawie Theron has said that Wales executed their game plan better on the day and kept the young South Africans in their own half for most part of the match with accurate kicks in their 18-17 win over the defending champions in the IRB Junior World Championship semi-final in France.
“We knew they would test us with a kicking game and I must say they did extremely well to frustrate us by finding favourable field positions.
“They forced us to run from deep and then defended well, which frustrated us and, which in turn, led to some errors.
“I want to praise the efforts of the boys throughout the tournament and especially in this match.
“They came back twice from behind and in the end it really hurt to lose like that, with a conversion with almost the last kick of the match.
“I think their flyhalf kept his cool quite well to succeed with that kick,” said Theron.
Team captain, Ruan Steenkamp, echoed the words of his coach and praised the efforts of his team mates.
“We gave it our best effort but on the day it was not enough.
“They did their homework on us and never allowed us to create a platform for our backline.
“The boys are extremely disappointed because we are all very proud to represent our country.
The Baby Boks will now play in the third-place playoff against New Zealand, who lost 33-21 to England.
“We have one more match left to play and we will lift ourselves and play with pride.
“The defeat will hurt for a while, but we have our next match on Sunday and we will play as best as we can,” said Steenkamp.
Lock Irné Herbst, who scored South Africa’s first try, said the Welsh prevented his team mates from gaining the upper hand with some fierce tackling.
“We came back strongly in the scrums and competed well in the lineouts, but they persisted with their tactic to making us turn back with long kicks into our half.
“We tried our best and on the day it was unfortunately not good enough,” said Herbst.
“….lift ourselves and play with pride…”, for the third spot, maybe?
Too late now Dawie, pride has gone up into the French night sky over Vennes.
Your charges were plain kuk, they played like a bunch of moffies, they were ill prepared for this match with no apparent game plan against these brave little Welshmen, and you and Brendon have to shoulder most of the blame. Pride my a%se….
Maybe you lot thought it was party time already after that 97-0 win over the USA, klomp poephols. Ek hoop SARU hulle hou julle wedstrydgelde terug, julle verdien nie betaling vir sulke swak werk nie.
284 @ Pietman:
Why is it that SA sports sides in general (apart from Banana Banana of course) seem to play well for 80% of the games, but in those crunch 20% MUST WIN games they strike a flat spin and end up fornicating the Kitty Cat?
Is it a mental thing (with both players and management), or is it just “bad luck? (Which I personally don’t believe in)
I reckon in this case the team and management just thought that this game would be a walk in the park and that tha big one would be against NZ in the final.
Once the game starts and the team is on the back foot, no ability to change the game plan and think on their feet. It’s not unique to the U20’s, or Rugby.
Ah well, “thanks for coming, please leave the trophy and shut the door.”
282 @ grootblousmile:
Can’t see Mr Venter being in Deben for too long.
He just won’t fit their style IMO.
@ Scrumdown:
Yes, it seems the Bokkies went to France thinking they could just stroll through that nice old countryside until it was time for a showdown with the All Blacks in the final;,”…. no problem up to the final boys, let’s keep our sights on that final, save your best efforts for the big on boys, when we have to defend our title, here’s to the final boys, cheers…”

Watch the last try again, see where it started?
@ Pietman:
No sorry, not that one!!!!
Watch and weep….
Skop die bal reg veldaf en hulle hol dwarsdeur, eishhhh!
Ons # 11 het nie n clue waar die man is wat hy moet merk nie…
Nou eers genoeg gepraat….met myself! Raak net van vooraf de moer in as ek die replay kyk.
Tjeers eers.
Honestly our scrums sucked, our guys like the senior Boks didn’t commit enough numbers to the breakdown, Jacques du Plessis should rather be playing lock, I wouldn’t have had Robert du Preez as our starting 10. He’s nothing out of the ordinary, and I feel he’s only there because of his dad. I do believe he has talent, but he needs to grow much in the decision making role. Rohan Janse van Rensburg is a much better inside centre than Handre Pollard, and Pollard is a much better fly-half than Robert du Preez. I sense we have too many different kicking coaches for our different players. Handre Pollard was very reliable in the Varsity Cup, and even last year where he wasn’t always as accurate. But yeah I feel only Vlokkie or Derrick should be working with him. Rohan and Dries played together very well in the Vodacom Cup. Ungerer is shit. He’s like a new January. His passes bounce before getting to the fly-half. Our lineouts weren’t good either. Just overall very disappointed with the Baby Boks, but I think the coaching staff must take the flak on this one. Few very dumb nonesensical decisions by them.
292 @ Pietman:
Senatla? = sewes speeler. Enough said.
VERY difficult to mix the two at top level IMO. Totally different defensive patterns. I was always sceptical about his defensive potential becase of it.
Ah well, water under the bridge.
