Hierdie skrum gaan die game bepaal, staan ons niks punte af nie is ons op die wenpad, anders.
Bokke would have to play out of their socks without Flip (suspended) and Alberts… maybe Franco must come on for Juandré for more bulk soon enough.
Said during the week we should have gone with a 6/2 split for this game and had PSDT on the bench Hell we missed something there for sure.
PSDT could have come on at blindside now. Hell man he was with the Boks all damn week as well. Just as tough and strong as Alberts and superb in the lineouts.
Morné Steyn clears well
I am very happy with Alberts replacement. If anything, it will open up the game a bit. Might as well go for broke, we have to get 4 tries anyway if we are to wine the RC, so go BIG, I say!
Arghhhh, try Measam again….
FARK, WTF is up with our defence. All round KAK rugby
All Blacks 21 / 15 Springboks
3 Tries down for the All Blacks, 1 needed to win the Champs
Lemoenetyd
Wy the hell did we try and run that from our own line why? Now look where it got us? They got a easy easy easy try there. Hells bells we are now looking aweful. Our defence is useless. Meyer should seriously get get the WP defence coach in the bok team
Wat drink ons?
Excellent game so far, wow, had me on the edge of my seat, thats for sure, Hope the Boks come out and pick it up a bit in the second half. They really have to up their game in the second half. Not only do they need to score 2 tries without Habs, but they MUST up their defence and stop NZ from scoring another try, otherwise it will all have been for nothing.
But, apart from the few lapses, the boys are looking great.
161 @ Puma:
Do you complain that much at your house too?
158 @ Just For Kicks:
We tried to run it from our line. Damn nonsense that. Should have past it back so it could be cleared. Would have gone into the half 15/14. Now we play catch up again and without Alberts or Habs. We already missing Flip.
Ek is stomgeslaan, dit is die kampioenskap, sal nou maar net moet gaan vir ‘n moontlike wen. Ook okkol geluk aan ons kant, Habana en Alberts af.
What I really like about this team, yes, GBS, HM included, is that they are really developing into something special, and the heart of the team is so young. The future is rosy.
167 @ Just For Kicks:
I am glad, Kickers.
164 @ grootblousmile:
WE are better than this tripe we dishing up here gbs. Also selection is always key. Once we lost Flip we should have gone into this game with sound back up. Psdt should have been on the bench. 6/2 split. Now we in big poo here. Also we trying to run too much. Need to slow it down.
Also we very well could have had another try if Fourie du Preez never had a brain lapes on our line when he kicked it.
Think this very well could be game over for us. I am hoping like crazy it is not that we can score straight after the break.
165 @ Puma:Unless we had scored, of course, then everyone would have wowed the team. It was a risk, and agreed the scissor move was daft, but I really like the Boks new heart, they are prepared to give it a go. We have been saying all week that the Boks need to score 4 tries. When they do what we ask, we need to understand that there may be mistakes.
It would have been awesome if we had gone into the tunnel another try up. We didn’t, but hey, look at the whole game. The AB’s have been playing at their best, I think, and without our mistakes, have been going nowhere. I am happy so far. Great spectacle.
Wel, as ons nou kick en chase gaan begin speel, gaan die AB’s ons groot pakslae gee. So speel soos die eerste 20, gooi die bal rond speel wyd.
169 @ Puma:
Argh, get over yourself Puma man, get a grip!
171 @ bidibidibok:
Is jy bdb… indien so hoekom het jy weer registreer… een van jou profiles sal dan moet waai.
Tall order remaining for the Boks. Have to stop NZ from scoring one more try and score two themselves.
I have to agree with @PUMA – Kruger should not have been in this side. He is just not physical enough. And the Boks are running the ball way to little. We need to start running more.
We should still record a win here. But can we do that and still win the Championship that is the big question. We should starve the AB’s from ball and stop playing kick and chase. They are to good at using that against us. We should take them head on. No more kicking.
2nd Half ON!
All to play for, for the Bokke!

Just our defense, dammit
The Lambie imbongi here wants him on , to do what? Kick better than the best? Whilst he moans about our using of the ball, what a moaner.
I thought all the ABs tries were soft tries. Our defence is shocking to be honest.
Good start
Bad knock under pressure by Fourie du Preez
middag almal. harde game.
