    @ grootblousmile:
    Ek was aflyn reg aan die end, net Gator prentjies gehad!Server was oppie koffie…

    Was van die begin nie lekker in die game nie. Daar aan die einde het twee ref besluite ons sleg geknou, Galant se pass was nie vorentoe nie, en daardie skrum daarna moes ons die strafskop gekry het wat ons die wen sou gegee het.

    Maar die Engelse het hul kanse heelwat beter gebruik, en ons verdediging en knocks het ons erg gekos.

    Dink die Bokkies het hul finals gewen twee keer teen die AB, hierdie was een game te veel.

    Jammer Bokkies, leer uit die foute en bou voort !

    @ MacroBok:
    Jy nie gekyk nie?
    Ons moes hierdie een MAKLIK gewen het, sommer die 1ste helfte al, maar scrummie het ons ge-drop…en die middelveld wat so kuk tekkel!

    @ Ben:
    Ja, ref het ons verneuk met daai pass na Gelant….en ook strafskoppe wat hy nie gegee het as hulle so aan die bal klou oppie grond.
    Maar dis geen verskoning, ons moes hul weggesit het op 10-3 daai 1ste 20 minute….water onder die brug nou Cry

    Pollard was good again, how skew was that last feed, we left it too late, a lot of wasted chances Congrats England, Next year you will be a serious contender for the real WC

  • 186

    Els, Schikering en reserwe voorry was baie goed.
    Senters was baie goed op aanval maar verdediging swak.
    Sergeal en reserwe vleuel, vd Merwe was ook goed.
    Galant was baie goed en gevaarlik van agter.

    Schickering en Galant die beste op die dag.

    Skakelpaar was nie te goed op die dag nie, en losvoorspelers stil.

    Bokke en Heyneke: Neem asseblief kennis van die Engelse vir RWC 2015.

    183 @ Pietman: Yip, het die game verloor die 10 minute voor halftyd toe ons hulle moes gebere het, maar toe score hul 10 baie belangrike punte deur ons swak verdediging.

    Gebruik jou kanse, that is the name of the game !

    Ai tog… I am dejected, I did not even see the last few minutes!

    Bad luck Saffas.
    Be proud of your Boys’.
    They had a very good tournament and the future looks bright.

    pollard junior speler van die jaar

    Een ding wat ek wel bly oor is, is dat die Bokkies so dikbek lyk omdat hul verloor het.

    Deesdae in die super 15 as ons spanne verloor, dan lag en glimlag en soen hul die ander spanne na die tyd asof niks gebeur het nie. Dit is duidelik dat die passie om te wen lyk my so met die tyd en baie geld nie meer belangrik is vir baie spelers nie.

    Hoop die jong bokkies hou die passie om verloor te haat.

    pollard will play vs scotland

    Well played England, pity for our Bokkies.
    Pietman, seems our fears after seeing how well the Irish played for a big part against the Baby Blacks was well founded, the way the English smashed the Irish sent alarm bells ringing this morning.

    Midfield defense from the Bokkies not accurate enough today, and the forwards were matched by a very accomplished pack of English forwards.

    Not a classic game by any measure, except for the drama of it being so close, too many errors from both sides, nerves must have been stretched out there

    Bad luck umfanaBokke

    Congratulations Poms

    Wen die AB’s twee keer in NZ
    Pollard speler van die toernooi
    Maar verloor met 1 punt die belangrikste wedstryd.

    Eish, amper ‘n volmaakte toernooi vir die Bokkies, maar ja, die lewe werk nie altyd so uit nie.

    England’s Howard Packman & Nick Tomkins stand out for England.

    Those 2 made massive breaks for the England backline, they were bloody good!

    Our readership figures rocked during the game, went as high as 196 People Online simultaneously at times…

    But that also had an effect on our Server Environment at the Web Hosts, as our Domain’s usage spiked in it’s moer and abused their Server with massive CPU usage.

    What that caused in return, was that Rugby-Talk was restricted, due to these effects, seeing as we run on a Shared Server environment.

    In fact, we are still in Restricted mode, till our use comes down substantially.

    So, pity and apologies about the few Hostgator Pages which came up, and the load speeds, which was slow at times… and might still be a bit slow.

    We will have to go to a Dedicated Server setup eventually, but that costs serious money per month… and we’ll have to sell some Advertising space to counter that, so that we can pay for the Dedicated Server environment.

    At least the ducks are coming in a row in that respect, with the Marketing team just about ready to go with their efforts… 3 Marketers, who will bundle Rugby-Talk with another entity, which also falls within the ambit of my immediate family.

    When that launches, you will all be notified, right here on Rugby-Talk.

    At the moment all costs for this website, comes out of my personal pockets and not back into my pockets.

    With our Web Hosts about 8 Hours behind us on the world clock, it means their measurements of traffic for today started at about 08:00 SA Time this morning, and in the 4 hours since they started measuring, we have already gone well past 13 900 Page Impressions for 20 June, with 20 hours left in the measurement period.

    @ grootblousmile:
    We should talk about the maintenance cost of the site, cannot expect you to foot the bil alonel, enough of us here to club in.
    So, please bruvva, work out something.

  • 201

    @ Pietman:
    …”bill…”, sorry Puma!

  • 202

    200 @ Pietman:
    Not to worry Pieta, I am not a pauper… but it would be nice if the site pays for itself, whilst giving us all the joy we are experiencing already!

  • 203

    @ grootblousmile:
    How does the site pay for itself, through adverts?
    If so, we must start marketing the site then, easy as that.
    And you have Briekie right there, who knows that side of the business inside out, so what’s the problem?

  • 204

    @ grootblousmile:
    What about approaching SARugbyMag for Sponsorship (money). This Site might well be an ideal vehicle for them to promote up and coming young Sports Journo’s like Mark Voldy.

    What is the worst they could say………………………………………..”GFY”.

    😉

    ….begin sommer met al die horde ‘sex shops’daar in die Panne en in daar af na Scrumdown se vallei, gee hulle afslag op n spesiale RT promo of iets…. Ssshh
    Scrummie sal graag help bemark, glo ek.

    @ cane:
    There you go mate, see GBS…another good idea Approve

  • 207

    203 @ Pietman:
    Handbriekie’s company is going to do the marketing, 3 marketers.

    But they will be bundling it in conjunction with another publication that they will be launching, both in Printed form (to 100 000 addresses) as well as online.

    It will officially be part of the “Talk-family”… and a few more details will be supplied in due course, for that entity.

    In theory, Rugby-Talk has a potential income of Hundreds of Thousands of Rands per month, on it’s own… at a third of the rate of some of the bigger Publishing Houses.

    In this economy, I do not expect all advertising space to be filled, but if only 20% is filled, Rugby-Talk would already be making more money, after expenses, per month than most well-salaried people who have a full time job.

  • 208

    204 @ cane:
    Rugby-Talk will go way past that long-established Publishing House very soon, no need to ask them for ANYTHING!

  • 209

    @ grootblousmile:
    @207 Ok, we’ll talk.
    Maybe I can set up something down south Cape Town way, if you want…just give me some time to get back there, hopefully soon.

    Ok RTs, lunch time here…
