All the bench on now?
O gonna, kristalglas Goosen het alweer n kraak. Eish.
Another Bokke penalty, 5m out
Come on Bokke, finish with a flurry!
Try Mvovo?
No try, Bokke penalty again
kick it out! im within my margin
Wasn’t there a movie about Goosen once?
I think Samuel L Jackson played the part of Goosen, Bruce Willis was also in the movie if I remember correctly
Boks have completely lost their heads at the moment. They really need to think a bit.
Excellent defence by the Welsh though
If we can’t score here then I don’t know
I don’t think Goose will make 2015 WC
Pollie and Morne with Marnitz as back-up, maybe….
Hooter has long gone…. handbags
All in all a great game by the Bokke, we can feel really pleased!
Goeie wen, maar as Fransie en Lambie gespeel het was die eindtelling 238-16.
Absolutely hideous stuff from the Boks. Where the hell did their heads go in the last 15 minutes. Well done on the win though.
Now THAT is what we know the Boks can do…! The most assured and ‘professional’ game by the Boks in many years. (Although subs couldn’t quite match the rhythm of the starters…)
Well done guys… made your supporters very proud today…!
Willie Le Roux… Transcendent…! He’s on another level…!!
Bryan… Predatory…!
Jan… Unyielding…!
Cornal… Outstanding…!
Tight Five… Dominant…!
Loosies… Voracious…!
Fourie… Influential…!
Special mention: Morne… Commanding…! Marshalled his troops with all the aplomb and confidence of Patton… keeping the battle on their turf… like Naas of old… Excellent game…!
Heyneke… Passion Personified…! Great job…!
Warren…? A maze of tunnels where weasels live…! 😉
Just kidding… at least Wales came to play positive rugby… good to see…
See you guys next week…!
Final Score: South African Springboks 38 / 16 Wales

Our strengths are not blinkers.

@ ufo:
Willie and Habana are on FIRE. Reminds me of Joubert and Small in their prime.
We just need to get that killer instinct now, we were too rushed in that second half and forced too many passes and got isolated way too often, need to show more patience on attack, hopefully we can really thrash them next week! Bokke!
@ nortierd:
I quit at 38:9, around the 50st minute
Did I miss something?
I am a happy camper… Bokke did well.
We expected much more from the Welsh forwards, scrums, and their supposedly big and worldclass backline
319 @ nortierd:
En John Smith kaptein
That should shut Gatland’s fat trap.

Not much
Boks got white line fever and stuffed up numerous more try scoring opportunities
319 @ nortierd: dan was dit 338.
