    We have such a long way to go regarding ball handling, ball retention and vision. I wish that HM could have more time with the team, this meeting up just before the 1st match is not good enough. This has the foundations (with the sick notes) of a good team. Just need time to gel and practice together. As with the Poms, they can only get better given the opportunity.

    Go Boks

    Well, a Bokke win by 1 against Wales is just as good as an All Blacks win by 1 against England, I suppose!

    No! No it is not. New Zealand would have snot klapped this average Bok team today. The RC is going to be brutal.

    Beste voorbereiding vir die 4nasies, goed om so taai wedstryd net net te wen.

    anyway ill take the win and celebrate it as such. a lot to work on especially our control of the ball in the tackle and cleaning out at the rucks… this game was good prep for new zealand with all the jersey pulling and hands in the ruck.

    they were on attack but they were too “richee” on defense when we attacked. they kept slowing our ball down. that last ten minutes we started cleaning out like beasts

    Yes, but on the full 80 I thought they were better than us on the whole.
    A win is a win, but this one just doesn’t feel right to me

    Two penalty tries for the Bokke in a test match? Must be a first.

    you guys still need to work on this aspect, I thought it was the one area that was really lacking against Wales. :mrgreen:

    its shame we lose guthro next week. he made a massive impact

    I wonder if Supersport know that this is being shown around the world, and if so, that having Owen on stage does SA no favours at all. We’re really scraping the barrel in commentators and presenters, it seems.

    What did he mean, saying to Vermeulen – ‘glad to be back at home?’
