@ The_Young_Turk:
we have to win first for 4 tries to matter.
@ The_Young_Turk:
@85 Absolutely! Must get three more tries.
Argentina playing a lot better than last week, but nowhere near where they need to be to receive anything other than a good thrashing.
Bokke penalty, Pumas not staying on their feet… kick to the corner
Boks opting for the line out. Good decision.
Pumas penalty… and handbags
Fokkit!
fok if we are going to go for 4 tries before the win we gonna lose
Geez, the Pumas are motivated. They have driven the Boks meters back.
Pumas knock… Bokke defensive scrum
@ Just For Kicks:
Hope you are right Kicker, bit of a ‘rough and tumble’ at moment, Argies disruptive.
Bokke must keep their shape, not make the game too loose
@ MacroBull:
Win is important obviously, but if the Boks want to put pressure on the ABs, they have to win with 4 tries.
Boks just need to absorb the pressure, a la All Blacks, allow the Puma’s to tire themselves out, which they are busy doing with aplomb! then just open the taps again as they did last week. 4 tries will be a breeze.
103 @ The_Young_Turk:
All Blacks did not get 4 tries today, so a win is more important
Willie le Roux knocks a kick receipt… Pumas scrum
Lineout maul is not going to work today. Bokke will need to try something different from the 5 meter line-out.
101 @ Pietman:I would be surprised if the Boks get into one serious argie-bargie tonight. They know that is what the Puma’s want, and I reckon it has been drummed into them to steer clear of that stuff. If the Boks can retain their cool, it will really show them maturing as a unit, and heading in the right direction – I hope this doesn’t come back to bite me now!!!
Stronger Pumas scrum this weekend… Jean de Villiers holds the ball up, turnover scrum
Errors.. eish
Eben moet sy gat in rat kry, speel soos laasweek.Hy lyk half verlore.
Bokke lyk nie gefokus nie, miskien sal hul halftyd n piece of HM se mind kry en wakker word
Come on Bokke!
@ superBul:
se ek mos ook so pas.
Offside against Flo… kickable
@ grootblousmile:
All Blacks got 4 tries in their first match against the Wallabies, so that balances out todays match. What are the chances that the Boks would beat Australia at home and get 4 tries as well? And what are the chances that the ABs will beat Argentina with 4 tries home and away?
Missed right…
Evening Sports Fans!
Bokke need to keep composure here and play their game. Don’t get sucked into vuilspel.
@ The_Young_Turk:
lets just win our matches before we worry about the bonus points.
Try Marcello Bosch, Pumas
