WOW superb pace by Ashwell Peters taking the gap in the middle of the park and running from midway between WP 22 and 10m line to score under the posts
RCE 24/35 WP
Dit is nie Pollard se skuld nie. Hy het nie homself gekies nie. Hy kan maar net speel tot die beste van sy vermoe, wat hy tans doen.
Maar hierdie is nie die onder twintigs of ‘n Skotland C span nie. Ek reken Heyneke moet van die skuld dra.
Ahh did the commentators at the 7s really have to remind us that WP were also playing Blue Bulls at Newlands today
Mallet is correct, today of all days we should be kicking… but we are running everything. JDV should have taken the three points in hindsight.
Gibbs and Guscott ” SA should play old school, nothing fancy, 3 meter passes…” Joe Roff concurs, SA not playing the conditions well…

Vir seker, hulle mis vir McGuyver Greyling en Callie Visagie, dan het die Argies afgetjop
On the Positive side, the Boks have nothing to fear from McKenzie’s Wallabies,
And I am dead serious saying that 😐
evening all. We need to get a bonus point here, with the Aussies only getting a draw. Not the most condusive conditions though. ….

Ahh no actually my mistake read that to mean you were suggesting I switch loyalties for the weekend

Presies, niks fout met sy algemene spel of stel skoppe nie, dis die skoppe uit die hand waar hy tekort kom, en dis konsentrasie en minder tyd op die bal op toetsvlak
Final score RC Enisei 24/35 WP – so that is WP unbeaten today with 2 wins and 1 draw

Skuldig oor Pollard? hahaha ek sal se, huidiglik hardloop ons heeltyd met die bal, dit is wat almal wil he. Die afskoppe se foute is ook maar die veld omstandighede (bal hop nie hoog genoeg nie)
Maar ek stem met jou, onder die omstandighede sal Morne die beter speler wees.
I don’t reckon we have to worry about Pollard at all. A combination of poor weather, and pressure from, I think stupid, press comments are just making it a bit more pressured at the office.
This is a good match for him to get it out of his system, He will be better in the second half and future matches. He has the match temperament. You could see, that in the 1st half, he still had good vision.
HM just must’t ruin his confidence now and pull him off too early. He is playing no worse than a number of other backs.
Lekker Eben.
Ricardo Loubser, maak maar plek vir him ook in die Bulle se raadsaal Maandag

Waar val jy uit? lol
As long as we score 3 more tries, by hook or by crook, we should be happy. Just keep it simple boys…

No arguments here: the Boks can’t play wide and long, and they can’t play fast either, never mind all those Ruan’s bashers,
They shouldn’t kick the ball away though, now how can you do that?
Snaakse tye hierdie. Wanneer ons hardloop rugby moet speel, skop ons. Wanneer ons skoprugby moet speel, wil ons alles hardloop ?
2nd Half a minute old.
Pumas penalty and shot to goal

@260 JANEE…
HM na die game.
Owen” How did you find the game?”
HM” wet”
Owen ” are you happy with the win”
HM “well Owen, it wasn’t an AWESOME win, but it was the best wet weather win I’ve ever had with the Boks”

Hou op pik op die WP spelers
Brilliant Carlin Isles gets a pass on his 22 and he accelarates and canters in for his try easily, good turnover by New York on defense in the build up to that
New York 5/0 Harlequins
Bakkie should have never made the match 23
Neither the Beast,
Just wait until The Trevor will come on!
Can’t wait 😆 😆
