Feel disappointed with our loss. We never played well but heck we could still have won that game.
Okay JWC comes around every year, so not long to wait for the next one. Still wish we won this one.
240 @ superBul:
Super the thing is we NEVER played well, but we could still have won it had we got our kicks over. Stop protecting Pollard he was terrible as he has been the whole tourney. He lost it for us today.
Kolbe wat gewoonlik skiterent is was baie uit posisie vandag, daai laaste drie was weer in n gat so groot soos n waenhuis deur
Bokkies were flat this competition and didn’t play like their hearts were in it. Good luck Wales for the final, you’re gonna need it.
The Southern Hemisphere in general need to learn to scrum…
In the seniors, England pummelled the Argies, we got pummelled by Italy and to some extent Scotland, the Lions have pummelled all the touring sides at the scrums, France looked good against the All Black scrums
241 @ grootblousmile:
Kolbe has been our star of the Boks JWC this year. Superb player.
@ Puma:
se die profeet wat glo n rugbyspan bestaan uit 15 spelers. Die ref kan eerder geblame word, Wallis het n pasela 7 punte van hom gekry
Good luck to the Baby Blacks in the next game. Will always support the SH sides. Hope they win it and go on to win this tourney.
Dercik Hougaard who is in charge of coaching kicking to posts for the junior Blue Bulls sides needs to do some hard work… or get replaced
Watch hoe maak Engeland dit n all NH final
While it’s true that if Pollard had kicked better we would have won, our general play and attitude were crappy. Wales wanted it far more.
248 @ superBul:
My afrikaans is rubbish Super you know it so have not much clue what you saying there. Except I pick up that you saying the ref gave Wales 7 points. If I am correct not sure.
Anyhow going to watch some tv now and then the England/Baby Blacks game. Hope the ABs win that game. One of them will win the final as well. Wales were not that great, we really could have won this game today. We never played well but we still could have won it.
Anyhow there is next year as this tourney comes around every year.
238: jy is soos ‘n ou vrou met ‘n nat broek, herhaal 100 keer wat ons almal weet.
Die hele span het sleg gespeel, selfs Kolbe. Die verdediging was swak, die laaste drie het gekom nadat ons voorspelers en agterspelers vir die Wallis nr.15 gelos het om tot op ons kwartlyn te hardloop.
Van die drie skoppe wat Polla gemis het, was 1 maklik, 1 was moeilik en 1 teen die pale. Weet nie of Du Preez beter sou doen nie, ons kan maar net spekuleer.
Probleme het alles begin toe hul Pollard begin rondskuif het, moes hom laat begin het op 10, of as reserwe losskakel gebruik het, hy is nie ‘n senter nie.
254 @ ben-die-bul:
Why does Pollard play 12 for Tukkies and not 10 if he is not a 12?
No man, I am really pissed off off with this lot. To play in a semi-final for the world cup,wow!!! I would have given my left testicle as a 19 year old to be bestowed with such honor!
And what do these little moegoes do? They stroll around the park displaying their hairdo’s and tattoos,listless,clueless no desire or passion, fkall!!!
Dawie Theron needs his arse kicked for this.
And put the Springbok back in his rightful place, on the left breast, faark this blommetjie nonsense….eishhh, my moer is nou suur.Vat nogal af by die werk om hierdie nonsens te kom kyk….
‘n Bietjie troos – hulle het in Protea truie gespeel en ge-choke, nie in boktruie nie ! 😉
En as ons iemand wil die skuld gee, gee dit vir HM wat vir Jan die Bieliebul onttrek het om in die no name useless toetsreeks te speel ! hehe
Alles is apartheid en HM se skuld, punt !
@ Puma:
someone is farking around with his career. I saw that too. But you are right, one more accurate kick and he would have been a hero. He missed so now he is the scapegoat.
When i was younger i also liked to blame a player for a loss.
Pollard will sleep badly tonight , that i can promise you
Bokkies problems start up front, not enough grunt there… seems like there is no guts and passion form this lot of the TV generation.
Scrums were woeful, breakdown work was not good enough… then it just filters through all the way down the line to No 15.
The TEAM is to blame, not the individual.
But once again, seems like the Northern Hemisphere sides have shored up their scrums and breakdown play considerably, even at this Junior level…
255: hy moes ook nie daar 12 gespeel het nie, maar ten minste het hy toe langs ‘n goeie losskakel gespeel wat die lyn goed kon wegkry. 😉
Wat ek nie kan verstaan nie, is dat hy baie goed vir Tuks pale toe geskop het, amper niks gemis nie, en nou skielik sukkel hy, wie is die skop afrigter by die proteas 0/20 ?
256: stem Piet, ons moes hierdie Drakies goed pakslae gegee het, maar ons het soos ‘n klomp los individue gespeel, daar was geen planmaker nie, het vir Jan kwaai gemis.
@ ben-die-bul:
Dis hom , se hulle.
maar net in die game teen die USA blindeskool het ons goed gelyk
One of my observations of South Africa at the moment is that we’ve lost our Man Grunt. We’ve become a bunch of softies. We are being dominated by the girls up north, and it’s not looking good. Gone are the days when all and sundry feared the ‘Hardmen from Africa’. We’ve always played with brawn and not brains – in the last games, both junior and senior, that has been proved.
Now we have no brawn!
Perhaps we DO need a Kamp Staldraad or two. It didn’t do us any harm when we were in the army! Seriously, though, we really need to claim our grunt back. We’re at risk of becoming the first man-bitches in the game of world rugby.
259: feite, van die begin van die reeks het ons hierdie probleme gehad: 1,3,4,5 met geen grunt nie, skakelpaar wat nie die game beheer nie, en die senterpaar wat nooit kon saam click nie.
Haker was goed, lostrio OK met JDP wat uitgestaan het, die agterste drie was kookwater.
Hahaha iets ligter op ons gemoedens
STANDARD BANK now finances LOBOLA!! Marry on credit, and pay back on a monthly installment basis. Failure to pay will result in the Bank selling the wife on auction to recoup their losses. Makes divorce much easier and cheaper. If you don’t want her anymore, simply miss a payment, and she’s gone!! STANDARD BANK : Making life Simpler, Better, Faster!
@ Just For Kicks:
“… dominated by the girls up north….”, LOL!
Maar dis waar wat jy praat.
262 @ Just For Kicks:
The youngsters today are gym bunnies, TV dinner dudes, fast food junkies… supplement takers…. Maaaa se seuntjies!
Where was the passion tonight?
Were was the I will die for my country attitudes?
@ grootblousmile:
Se ek ook mos, klomp windgat prima donnas wat van skooldae af geborgde tokse en rygoed kry.
@ Pietman:
@ grootblousmile:Agree 100%, and as your earlier comment, perhaps if they concentrated less on those daft hairdo’s, and more on the game, we’d get somewhere – unless, of course, the culprits are all from Cape Town, where-upon, it all becomes Seapointingly clear!!!
261: daardie VSA game het ons groot skade veroorsaak, ons het daarna gesukkel teen Engelse en Franse, en toe word ons doppie geklink teen Wallis.
267 @ Pietman:
Ek sou daai lot flokkertjies al laat tyres sleep het en heuwels laat hardloop het van flokken Onder 16 af….
