Concentrate on getting two more tries, and chase the points diff….and stay cool boys! We need to be unscathed for next Saturday, that is the beeeg one, we want Kiwi blood, not Ozzie.
Come on, some speed blogging is required, dammit!
@ Pietman:
Ozzie blood first, the more blood the merrier
That Flip card could have been red. We need to watch those things.
The Boks were all over the Aussies in the first 20 minutes. The Aussies had absolutely no clue, or answer. They then changed their tactics – they went dirty. They tried, and to a degree, succeeded in winding the Boks up, and towards the end, not only was it affecting their game, they were getting sucked into the Aussies plan as well.
The Halftime whistle couldn’t have come sooner. Boks must re-evaluate – The Aussies can’t win with these tactics, only the Boks can lose.
VdM must not come back on.
The Moral – Keep calm!
176 @ The_Young_Turk:
Yes Meyer will have learnt from that game at Eden Park. Kruger must replace Flip.
@ Just For Kicks:
Yip, Flip must not come back on!
2nd Half ON!
Genia on for Nic White
We have to be absolutely 100% with our discipline in the 2nd half.
Bokke penalty, good steal by Strauss
Very good from Strauss
188 @ grootblousmile:
With us a man down think they going to try and open it up. We should have when they were a man down, instead we just kicked everything back to them.
Come on Boks!
Oh flok, what happened there Morne?
Arghhh, kak kick by Morné
@ The_Young_Turk:
@184 Yes, for a moment there I thought it might be red, stupid by Flip…
The difference Fdp has made is staggering – that could so easily have been a try
Morne having a very average game. With this style of play, I would love to see Lambie on instead. That would really open it up a bit
Wallaby scrum, deep in their own half… Free Kick Bokke
Aaagh flok, kuk pass to Morne, was try time there…
Morné fails to pick up a bad pass on the ankles… Wallabies scrum
Very good Aussie scrum. VdM making the difference
@ Just For Kicks:
Yes for Lambie, good idea, game is almost in the bag and opening up.
Wallabies with a great scrum and get a penalty… that was strange
Bokke scrum… with 7 men and Willie le Roux packing at blindside
Surely Flip must come back on now??
Flip on, Bissie on to replace Adriaan Strauss
@ grootblousmile:
With Bismarck, nou is die vet innie vuur!
Bissie is on! Our battleship is back.
Tighthead steal by Fourie du Preez…. lekker
