@ grootblousmile:
I know his defense is dodgy, I am not fighting with you, I am just pointing out there are a few players dropping off tackles, the try today was not at all greefs fault, it all started with that flyhalf running past everyone, we can’t always just blame one player.
I don’t understand the game plan… It is just kick away possession… AB fullback not bad at all…
Bokke might realize that the high ball is not a good weapon, AB’s are fielding it with aplomb, maybe some grubbers instead?
…handling skills 🙄

nope I picked the poms, Saders will be missing their All black forwards so tips it in Engs favour imo
Handling from both sides terrible.
Are they playing in Durban? At least they can use the old ” humidity” excuse we have heard so many times before
@ nortierd:
It is in NZ, so it’s the Dew
Greef is as useless as an ashtray on a Harley.

Those forwards playing for the AB’s?
Boet, that just means the Crusaders will be stronger without them
Sorry but our basic skills suck…
Excellent tackle by the full back 😀
Try saving tackle, wow, thought the 15 was in for all money
Jeeez, McKenzie, the Baby Blacks fullback is tearing the Bokkies a new one… try saving tackle against him and a try just averted!

What poor decision making… can’t even hold onto a ball…
Nortie lol of course, but we dont want to damage Eng irreparably
enjoying the young fellas, going to be a close game I feel
Baby Blacks over the line…. held up, luckily!
Esterhuisen just as bad
Baby Blacks prop loses the ball over the line, Bokkies defensive scrum!
jeez we are lucky… over the line and loses the ball…
NZ getting over the advantage line at will, but just cant score
no 11 hasn’t made one tackle…
Sergeal hasnt made one tackle today
Baby Blacks doing ALL the playing!
Again they get past Greeff on the wing… twice in a row
we cannot play rugby without the ball… and can’t defend – well try and defend all day…
there is nothing wrong with that tackle
baby blacks pushing the pass, no patience.
that man should be red carded for his dangerous tackle on the innocent kiwi
nothing wrong with tackle…
what bullshit
