We cant play both Marcell and Flo, Juan should have played, especially in wet conditions, we went into the game thinking we were going to run them off their feet.

Ha ha
Definitief
As bad as we were, credit to the Argies, put our set pieces under a lot of pressure and did everything as best as they could… even if they cant crack the top ten.
@ Snoek:
Tjorts, groete vir die buurvrou.

@ Pietman: Etzebet veral, sy fuse is baie kort. Anyway ons sal dit vat.

And I am still livid about pulling Pollard off so early. Team cannot use their noggins, and neither can HM. What a knock back for the poor lad, and the ‘Go To’ man proved that it was the weather, and even when it improved immeasurably, MS fared no better.
Well, a win… in ugly, ugly weather!
No tries conceded…
Most likely Victor in to win more lineout and settle a young lock partner.
Scrums need big improvement, and Malherbe to start?
Pienaar kuk, pure kuk there has to be a better 9?
Leave Pollard at 10
@ Just For Kicks:
Scott Gibbs agrees with you, Joe Roff as well, Boks couldn’t adjust…etc.
428 @ 4man:
Etzebeth needs a radical attitude adjustment.
He is a palooka when he loses his cool like that… totally brainless!
@ Just For Kicks: Hmmmm ja, not so sure. They probably said before if its close they’ll take him off. He’ll be fine, a few lessons learned in the big league….its all good.
@ Just For Kicks:
agreed but he wil be ok good experience in the rain for him

Good comment…we need a breker #7
@ grootblousmile: Ja all these ou’s from Goodwood weet net bliksem! 😉
Argies getting a point out of this, who would have thought?
So na hierdie eerste rondte is die reën die wenner.
Na volgende week sal ons dalk meer weet.
Cheers all, off to kick a couple or 3 pints into touch – and calm down!
Almost another draw, Guscott says…
438 @ 4man:
Die voortvarendheid van die jeug.
“Ek is mos ‘n fokken Etzebeth, ek moet rof en fokken onbeskof wees, ek is ‘n meanie, ek het ‘n piepklein breintjie, groot voete en ‘n tollie”
Fok, hoe dom kan een ou wees?
@ Pietman:
Ja…they actually blow hot and cold, but this was a good go and you could see the French experience coming through….rain and wet and cold. Our first game. We’ll see a different story next week. The Bokke started nice, but then that wet ball created havoc for everyone. Take the win and move on.
@ grootblousmile:
Gibbs se die Bokke het nie beplan vir die moontlik van n close game nie…hulle het heeltyd weghardloop rugby gedink.
@ grootblousmile:
ha ha ha ha, reminds me of my one business cards…..where the qualifications are NFBC
Ok Sarge, GBS en alle RTs, ek is uit pisvelle toe.
Moet vroeg padvat moreoggend.
Tjortd
Ok boys and girls?….Catch you on the rebound. Keep your powder dry and stay safe.
@ Pietman:
Cheers Me too, Good to see you guys
Im out too, cheers everyone, have a good evening
