I dont know how we are going to sort out these scrum issues, there is just not any looseheads available, bissie was so bad they made him hold the ball in the mauls 😀
@ Just For Kicks: @388:
Good summary!
Ieuen Evans notes the big difference in tempo when FdP arrived on the scene. Say no more.
I must say the replacements brought about some real energy… Started off slowly but ended nicely…
Kyk, na die Bulle Vic gerus het teen Leeus laasweek en ons verloor het, kon ek slange vang so kwaad was ek vir HM en Ludeke.
Maar alles is nou vergewe, gou Bokke !
Maar Ludeke moet nog baie regmaak !
395: gou = go
mooi so bakkies!
OK now i understand the slow speed.
Good win Bokke.
We win with ease.
W15 never gelled
This tries does not count as test tries?
Do it count as a test for the Boks?
Mooi so Bakkies…
Now for the real test rugby…
Cheers all, till next week….

would you play him there against the AB,s?
how is it possible that someone can not be a bakkies fan?
@ superBul:
best way to find out is to play him against the all blacks at 13
OK, who needs to stay and who needs to go in the Bokke?
Forwards:
Jannie du Plessis – somehow the Bokke need to find a better tighthead prop, going forward
Gurthro Steenkamp – he’s over the hill – needs to go, double speed
Bismarck du Plesis – not one of his good Tests, he needs to sort out his priorities and buckle down
Beast Mtawarira – he was quiet, looks jaded and tired, needs to up his performance
Bakkies Botha – wonderful to have the enforcer back – he was great today
Victor Matfield – old man mountain is still on of the best No 5’s in the world, did not shun away from tackling and the hard stuff
Flip van der Merwe – solid No 4 lock, needs to be in the Bokke
Francois Louw – not a bad game, hard grafter, never looking to be flashy, just doing his job well
Willem Alberts – a bit jaded and a bit quiet, looks a bit tired, but OK
Duane Vermeulen – a strong game by him, no problems
Cheers all… Well done Bokke…
Go young Bokkies – go all the way…
Die ouens wat al die ou manne wil uitgooi en al die jongmanne te vinnig wil deurbring ken rugby nie so goed nie. Mens moet ‘n goeie balans tussen jeug en ervaring hê. As ervare en jong ou ewe goed speel, kies ek ervaring loshande.
Watter spanne wen meestal al die bekers ? Spanne met ervaring, kyk maar vir Toulon die laaste paar jare.
Lyk of HM goeie diepte bou.
Enige verandering aan die span vir volgende week ?
I’m worried about the scrum and backline. Kockott outplayed Pienaar. Still not sure about the centres.
@ MacroBok:
Good Grief i cannot believe what i hear from you. You are really in total awe with anything HM does. Even worse than the Boss.

Ruan saam met die wereld span se spelers op n vliegtuig sit terug Europa toe, die res was goed
@ Ben:
daar sal waarskynlik nie veel wees nie, wens heyneke het Burden gekies inplaas van brits, brits se spel pas ons net nie. Hul sal waarskynlik net na die voorspelers kyk en dalk fdp
Backline:
Ruan Pienaar – slow and cumbersome – needs to go, double speed
Morné Steyn – still solid, distributed well, tackled well
Frans Steyn – had a solid game, not flashy… worried about his half injury and him going to Japan
JP Pietersen – did surprisingly well at No 13, but he is also heading back to Japan… so although the experiment worked, I do not see him at the Bokke No 13 in the long run
Bryan Habana – had a good game
Cornal Hendricks – had a solid debut for the Springboks
Willie le Roux – was electric at times, great player, good under the kicks, great on attack
Lwazi Mvovo – great run as replacement, he continues a great season
Johan Goosen – he is going to France, which is a worry… and the jury is still out on him
Fourie du Preez – provided speed on the ball behind the forwards

With this i leave
My wish is that we play better and better every game we play from now on. Then break away for the S15 and come back with no elusions who is best and pick a great settled side against the real foes.
@ superBul:
Not really, I just don’t see a point in going into every game negatively.
When a player does do well we can’t say everytime… ok well how will he do vs the all blacks?

@ superBul:
We all hope things will improve every game.
@ smallies:
sal ook daai span wil sien.
409 @ superBul:
… en jy probeer desperaat vir Heyneke Meyer afkraak en bevraagteken…
Daar is niemand so blind as die wat nie WIL sien nie!
Ek stem definitief nie saam met alles wat Heyneke doen en wie hy kies nie.
Kyk my opsommings van hoe die spelers gespeel het hierbo!
Ons het goeie diepte op haker, slot en losvoorspelers, as daar nie baie beserings is nie. Genoeg skrummies, losskakels, senters, vleuels en heelagters.
Stutte is ‘n probeem. Ons soek nog ‘n Os of twee wat eerstens goed skrum, en daarna goed is in die los.
I’m just curious/concerned – will the older players last until the WC next year?
