    @ nortierd:
    Morning Nortie…yes on paper going off results it would suggest that it is status quo for the Pumas…but I can see improvements in their game this year like a lot of others..

  • 332

    @ Te Rangatira:
    Hello TR
    I fail to see it, 17/19 losses is just not good enough in anyone’s book TR.
    They lost by 4 tries to 0 against you, and in the wet, and if you had even Stevie Wonder as your kicker it would have been by 35 odd points.
    Not really good enough (better than Australia’s loss against you though)

  • 333

    331 @ Te Rangatira:
    It could be TR that they get better, but maybe, so do their opponents, hence the same old same old?
    That I could buy, and give them credit for “improving”

  • 334

    @ nortierd:
    Yes..again the results aren’t good..but in mine eyes it is a psychological hump the Argies need to get over and I’m hoping they can turn their win/losses around…cos they do have the game to achieve this in my opinion

    Isn’t it supposed to be our fortress?

    @ nortierd:
    apparently altitude is their weakness.

    Pleasure

  • 338

    337 @ MacroBok:
    Yes, that’s it. Altitude couple with the fact that they must travel all the way from Argentina to play us at altitude 😀

  • 339

    @ nortierd:
    its quite weird that we still keep playing in the highveld when we are clearly not the team that benefits at all… yet we will keep hearing the same BS before every game about altitude.

  • 340

    @ MacroBok:
    Yep, maybe in the past, but with the AB’s being much fitter than us lately they end the stronger of the 2 sides.
    We could probably play them on Mars and it still won’t help

  • 341

    @ MacroBok:
    Macro, do you still think that HM is on the right track with the kind of rugby we play?

  • 342

    Ek kan nie glo dat sommige mense op and sites nou vra dat Meyer moet loop nie en deur Jake White vervang moet word nie. Kyk hulle dan nie hoe die Sharks al heeljaar speel nie? Dieselfde strond wat die Bokke opdis.

  • 343

    @ Nama:
    Well even if Aus is not as good as we all thought they would be, we were still within 3 minutes of winning when you guys gave no hope, only to be dropped by steyn in the end.

    I would like willie to get more involved especially when we got over the advantage line.

  • 344

    @ Nama:
    Self nou net gesien op een site dat iemand vra dat Jake moet terug 🙄

  • 345

    We will still be cimpetitive next week… winning the all blacks would be massive for this bok team, they just need to get over that barrier I think.

  • 346

    We shouldn’t be disappointed, the coach thought we played well, sorry, make that very well

    HM: “”We’re very disappointed with the defeat because we played very well. I thought we controlled the second half very well, playing against the wind, and the yellow card disrupted our plans on how we wanted to use the bench.”

  • 347

    I just wish JDV would give up on going for touch when we should be building a lead. Im not convinced its orders from Meyer because he does the Anne thing for the Stormers… always pile up the points

    344 @ nortierd:
    Kyk ek respekteer mense se opinie om nou glad nienooghare te he vir n coach nie, maar ons is besig om n kak kultuur te skep in Suid Afrika.

    Gister was ek by n bar om die game te kyk… en uit een helfte hoor mens net hoe kak victor, janneman en marcel van der merwe is en hoe als hulle skuld en uit die ander deel van die bar is dit hoe vuil en sleg vermeulen en eben is en hoe hul sumier niks bydrae nie.

    Dit voel als soos n snowball effect oor die jare en ouens raak net erger. as mens terugdink aan al die pakslae wat jake en pdiv in aus gekry het en die feit dat memse so kan regeer na ons met een punt verloor het aan die einde… het ek geen hoop vir die volgende ou nie teensy hy n buitelander is.

  • 349

    En ek wil dit net duidelik maak dat ek nie tevrede is dat ons “net” met een punt verloor het nie. Ek is wel hoog die moer in vir Jean en Morne.

  • 350

    348 @ MacroBok:
    Yip, elkeen het sy eie “rede” en dis gewoonlik provinsialisties gebaseer.
    Ek blameer nie die coach of enige iemand bv vir gister nie, die skrif was al vir die laaste 5 toetse aan die muur en ek het dit verwag. Hulle het egter amper die wen gekry, maar nes hulle verdien het om teen Walis en Arg te verloor, was die skoen nou aan die ander voet.
    Ons is nie naby om die AB’s te klop nie, en raak al hoe verder weg

  • 351

    @ MacroBok:
    Sure. We’ll be competitive. We were last year and the year before as well but still lost by 14 and 10 points respectively. This year it might be even worse.

    Wrt JdV not taking the kicks at poles, I agree. I know how it pisses me off when he does it when WP /Stormers play.

  • 352

    @ nortierd:
    @ Nama:
    Ons kan oor die gameplan praat tot ons blou raak in die gesig, maar dit kan nie te blaam wees vir individueele foute en besluitneming nie as dit gebeur met selfs die wonderlikste gameplan onder die son gaan jy nogsteeds verloor, en al is die huidige gameplan hoe kak aan die publiek, behalwe vir n paar swak foute was dit duidelik goed genoeg gewees om gister te wen.

  • 353

    @ nortierd:
    Nortie, maar die rede waarom ons so net-net wen/amper verloor het (voor gister) is tog as gevolg van die afrigter se wedstrydplan en spankeuses. So hy moet ‘n groot deel van die blaam dra.

    Hoewel Morne se mislukte skop kantlyn toe en JdV se besluite om nie pale toe te gaan nie, bygedra het tot die verloor was dit a.g.v. ons onvermoe om ordentlike wenrugby te speel wat ons verloor het. Ons moes daai ouens lankal weggepak het met al die balbesit en gebiedsvoordeel wat ons geniet het.

    @ Nama:
    Will still be tough to win next week, I still believe this all black team is incrwdible evem if their bench strength took a beating. .. But ill be seriously pissed off if we lose in Jhb.

  • 355

    @ Nama:
    Nama, die game plan speel beslis n rol, maar dis al wat die spelers ken.
    Hulle speel heel jaar in SR so, en dis hoekom ons is waar ons is

    @ nortierd:
    Waneer gaan Andries Bekker terug stormers toe? 😀

    Why be pissed off?
    Every year it’s the same script, only difference was Aus last year when they were in a transition stage with McKenzie.
    All the other results are the same so far as it was in 2012 and 2013

    Nou dat ons so lekker hardloop sal hy homself geniet daar op senter

  • 359

    @ MacroBok:
    ‘n Span soos die AB het ook al in die verlede die kantlyn opgesoek plek van pale toe gaan sonder dat dit gelei het tot ‘n drie. Israel Dagg/Ben Smith/Carter/Cruden het ook al nie die kantlyn gehaal met ‘n strafskop nie, maar dit het nie tot ‘n nederlaag gelei nie omdat hulle ‘n wedstrydplan het wat verwag dat hulle moet speel om te wen m.a.w. hou die bal soveel as moontlik in besit en teken punte aan.

    Ons speel om nie te verloor nie. Gee die bal vir die opponente, wag tot hulle ‘n fout maak en probeer dan punte aanteken. n Enkele fout in die wedstrydplan kan dan die verskil tussen wen en verloor wees soos in gister se geval. So, die wedstrydplan is die groot sondaar. Spelers sal altyd foute maak.

    @ nortierd:
    Its still better than 2010-2011 where we gave away 93 and 79 points (6 tries to an embattled robbie deans side) respecively on tour.

    But it is ridiculous how similar every year has been, including arg being competitive at half time in NZ haha
