I don’t believe it, they don’t take the 3 points! There is nothing to be gained by another try!
Another penalty… go for the corner again!
Final Score: South African Springboks 22 / 17 Argentinian Pumas
Bring on the fat lady!
Phewww…
Way to close for comfort.
What a relief. A pathetic performance from the Boks and hats off to the Pumas for knowing exactly how to play to make it difficult for the Boks.
Squeeky bum win… eish!
Wel i dont know how late i will relax enough to sleep. Fark this was so unnecessary, dankie HM, jou liefdes verhouding met Ruan is farktup man, kwaai
Lots of work before the Wallabies game, because they will also try to push the Bokke’s buttons…
Amper nog n fokapie in Pumaland, wat is dit met daai plek dat ons so sukkel daar?
Drol van die match? Pienaar sou ek ek reken.
So how much have the Boks improved over the last year? This weeks performance by the Puma’s have shown that perhaps not too much. FdP has to start next time, and it is simply imperative that he play every match for the Boks. SARU MUST sort that out.
Wow, how far has our rugby fallen. We can no longer go to Argentina expecting to win!
Ok manne, ek gaan die bed tekkel, nite eers, dankie vir die gesels.
Tjorts.
Jeeez, Ruan Pienaar cost up the 1st Pumas try, ultimately… and there was just NO SPEED from him on attack… too easy to read where he would send the ball to.
Our forwards also did not front up like they should have.
What I’m hoping for is that this brings the Bokke back to mother earth, and inspire them to have that fire in the belly again.
Buona notte a tutti! We live in hope as Bok supporters because reality is against us.
Pumas played well… but they niggled the whole time… Bokke MUST simply learn to shrug the niggle off… and play THEIR own game
How does a team go from sublime last week to iffy this week?
The summary of today MUST be that Heyneke is angry at his players… otherwise there is something wrong!
Cheers all, time for some inward contemplation – with the inside of my eyelids!
In 2 weeks time I would not have Ruan Pienaar in the match day 22.
I would be tempted to start with Flip and Eben at locks… and I would be tempted to start with Jan Serfontin at 12, Jean de Villiers at 13.

Pumas supporters might even be happier than us, even after losing. Wel min van ons is gelukkig.
Gaan nou hierdie rugby los vir die dag, glad nie lekker gewees vir my nie. Nag
Springboks still top the Log… scant consolation…. but at least it was a win
Bokke must focus on their own game, they must let the other sides play to our pattern, not to their pattern.
Wallabies are clever enough to exploit that too.
Well done Boks.
We seriously have to up our game against Oz otherwise don’t see us winning there and definitely not against ABs.
We were poor tonight, at least we did pick up the win this time and not a draw.
Just have to wonder why Meyer never brought on Vermaak? We need to get Fourie du Preez for the rest of the tourney to have any chance. Can we just not go back and negotiate with his club? Ruan was just not up to it.
Anyhow we won and pleased with the win even if it was a poor performance by us.
Okay catch up tomorrow.
Cheers everyone.
265 @ Puma:
Yip, in 2 weeks time it’s a totally new game… and today is in the past.. same counts for the Aussies who I see is now moaning about the ref, Peyper.
Lots of work to do… and with Toomua at No 10 and the Aussie forwards vulnerable, the Bokke needs to focus on how to make it count… IN Australia!
Ok, so except for the set pieces that was shithouse. HM had better have a back up plan for the All Blacksor we will be manshamed.
Ek het pas weer na beide die Bulle/Leeus en Springbokke se wedstryde gekyk.
Die groot verskil was die ondersteunende spel van die Leeus in kontaksituasies, hulle sak absoluut toe op hul medespeler wat die bal dra.
En dan natuurlik die vinnige skoonmaak agter die skrum, Leeus het heeltyd vinnige voorvoet-bal gekry, veral in die laaste halfuur, en die Bulle stukkend gehardloop.
Die losvoorspelers, met n skitterende Britz en Minnie aan die voorpunt, het soos een man skouer aan skouer op elke losbal toegesak.Franco van der Merwe was oral by.
Die Leeu-vleuels het heeltyd die bal i9n spel gehou en aansluiting gekry in die middelveld. Leeusenters het die Bulle voos geduik, man vir man die opposisie terug geduik.
Vergelyk dit nou met die onbeholpe spel van Habana, Basson, JJ en Pienaar.
En Etzebeth wat nerens by die afbreek nie, sy swakste toets gespeel gister. Alberts kon nooit aan die gang kom, nooit n ordentlike bal gedra nie.
Die Pumas het presies gedoen wat hulle beplan het, om die Bokke te frustreer met vuilspel (oogkrap en byt) en reguit met spoed op ons senters af te peil.
Adriaan Strauss was vir my die enigste Springbok wat gister sy sout werd was.
