Talking about too slow to kick and drop out direct etc.
That last charge down was due to being too slow
Mmmmm, ball and soap.
Excellent use of long grub kicks by the Argies
Expose the quota wings for what they are: always out of position to try interceptions
😀
@ nortierd:
sure but he will learn. nick white was charged down like six times today.
Bokke scrum penalty, for walking around
179: vat dit maar van wie dit kom. Niemand speel goed in hierdie moeilike game nie, klomp het al foute gemaak. Sekeres het selfs al tellings by hul naam. 😉
@ MacroBok:
And we said Phipps should have played.
I’m not knocking the kid, I’m saying that if he struggles against the weakest of the 4 sides, what will the AB’s do to him?
We are very lucky the Argies are making so many handling errors – they are hammering us in every other facet of the game.
Jeeez, we just need to eek out a win here today, it’s never going to be pretty rugby
@ bdb:
bissie al twee of drie lynstane verloor. dalk moet ons hom ook rus 😀
….including reading the weather situation.
Mooi Willie !

Name us ONE Test that Pollard had a good game so far? 😀
willie our saviour so far having a fantastic game
Pollard with another aimless kick. I know it was advantage, but we need to use that advantage.
Bokke penalty on about halfway.
Now we need to do the basics well… short passes… drive with the forwards
nearly through!
Just not Pollards day.
Mooi Handre, net ‘n glipsie daar ou seun. Dit kon met enige iemand gebeur het. 🙂
Halftime the blokes need Genkem glue…. on the hands

Jy en Ben raak oorsensitief 😀
Feit is, die charge down was agv van te veel tyd vat en die direkte uitskop was basies en n fout.
Ek gaan nie iets se van daai knock on nie, ek praat net van die uit die hand uit skop en die druk wat dit op die span sit
Snaaks hoe ons almal na dieselfde game kyk en dit heel anders sien, maar nou ja, dit is hoekom ons so lekker kan gesels. 😮

@ grootblousmile:
“”Buddie, come support the Bokke with us now man… for this game, you know you’re a Half-Honourable Saffa by now after blogging with us all these years!””
The Springboks are the 2nd equal Team (other than NZ) that I respect most in the World.
But that does not equate to wishing them well!
I love the Underdog.
😉
That was better by Pollard.
Bailey (captain) scores for WP – RCE 0/14 WP
@ nortierd:
haha nee glad nie. as ons lynstane teen arg verloor imagine wat whitelock hulle met kns gaan doen 😉
202: wat sê jy van daardie wegskop van Willie 😉
