What a lucky escape. Wait for the cliche’s now. Such as good teams win when they are playing bad.
That was too close for comfort.
Sorry NZinChina
You could almost gloat, but don’t light the cigar
sounds like a fantastic performance by walsh
Dankie tog.
Tussen swak en paties was dit vrot vrot. Aussies lek hul lippe af, AB lag hulle gatte af, eish.
HM predictable response: ‘proud of the boys, they showed real character today’.
Also a poor preforms by us… hope arg can keep competing
We need to take a hard look at our front row…
Oh well…Argies can put two good efforts out on the park In consecutive weeks..Bok looking lost for ideas at uttimes bUT definitely will play better v Aussies

HM will claim that this was an AWESOME win and has surpassed the Wales win as the best test of character etc etc
Same old same old

Aag dis kuk wat hy praat man! En hy SAL dit se…
Now I can relax…long day and I look forward to reading the comments made during the game
Ons weet NZ gaan 10 punte kry met so 60 punte verskil kry teen Arg. So hulle sit op 17 punte. Ons sit op 8 puntjies teen swakste span in die kompetisie.
Hoekom is die wedstryde elke keer in dieselfde volgorde, almal weet die Argies is kompeterend in die eerste 2 weke, daarna beteken hulle niks.
Hoekom verander die volgorde van die games nie elke jaar nie ?

Thx for keeping the shop open today, cheers.

Strauss line out inputs far better than Bismarck.
Tighthead ….. we do not have any.
ABs put 50 past the Wallabies?
On this performance how many would they have put past the Bokke …
Really a pathetic Bok performance (AWESOMEly pathetic)
Malherbe off injured, WHAT NOW for tighthead vs. Aus?
$hyte!
@ Angostura:
At least we have a 2 week break
Pollard not ready for the big time. He could not dictate at all. We lost the tactical kicking game.
Juan Smit was a passenger. De Ellendige was poor; should go back to CC rugby.
Our scrum is in need of serious mending.
We have no starter moves and we show no speed onto the ball. We struggled to string more than 3 phases when carrying the ball.
Against the Aussies and the Argies you need to stay on your feet in the contact because if you go to ground you’ll loose the ball. That the coaches and senior players did not pick up on that (need to stay on your feet in the tackle) is hard to fathom.
Overall very poor performance by the boks.
Street fighter De Allende does not look the part …
Nuwe voorry
Vic en Bakkies moet begin, Eben van die bank
Marcel in Juan se plek, as Alberts nie reg is nie
Hougies in Ruan se plek, Reinach op bank
Morne in Pollard se plek
Jan op binnesenter, jdv buitesenter
@ McLook:
What is concerning is that 3 of the last 4 tests we got “character building” wins, and 3 of them were at home
@ Pietman:
Hi Pietman. Couldn,t agree more.Bizzie ineffectual,Jannie a walking penalty.
And walking is an inspired word here
Then Lood provides no real power behind front row.
Being provocative here,not provincial.Marcel Coetzee made a huge impact
when he replaced Flo.
Marcel Coetzee, Morne Steyn and Strauss made a difference.
@ ryecatcher:
Coetzee was huge when he came on
Classic deur Naas, oor die skrums, het my gat nou afgelag, het julle gehoor ?
Morne may have kicked that one ball out directly, but he saved our bacon with the touch line conversion.
Pollard also kicked all his goals, but that 1 conversion was huge

Agree. When are we moving on and start to show real character by totally out playing the opposition like the AB did against the Aussies yesterday?

Nee wat seg Naas?
Behind a demolished pack,Pienaar was OK.
Pollard not the answer.Did HM really make the dumb comment that he had
settled on him for world cup?
