    @ Ben-die-Bok:

    Vergeet van Poite … ons het verdien om te verloor … meer as verdien om te verloor

  • 272

    Well, well, well… dat dit tog nou so moes wees, eina!

    Somehow I’ve seen the Boks in this situation before.

    On a complete high after beating the AB’s then not carrying that momentum over to the next game.

    Fokkol consistency.

    Better now than later…brought us back to reality in time for WC 2015. Same happened to Jake 2007, lost to Irish the previous year and won the world cup….

  • 274

    England also ran the All Blacks close, so next weekend is going to be a hard one against England

    Ja, hulle het ons opgevok en dit het niks met Poite of enigiemand te doen nie.

    Sexton made Pollard look like a beginner.

  • 276

    Goeie wedstryd deur Ierland, vir ons bietjie les laat opse…..maar net hoop HM en die spelers leer van die les

  • 277

    Gosh, I did not see the game, the final score is rather a surprise!!

  • 278

    HM made the calls off the field
    Matfield made the calls on the field
    Jean will offer the congratulations and platitudes afterwards

    The coach’s 3rd year jinx strikes again

  • 279

    Arrogance in us not taking shots at goal in the fist half…

    We though we could just score and take them

  • 280

    @ Angostura:
    Jean se hulle was beter, end van storie.
    Poite net flippin irriterend….en hy moes hulle gelooi het in die los, en daai dryf op die lyn wat hy gestop het was vrek belangrike oomblik in die wedstryd.

    @ robzim:

    I thought you were so pissed off you were not watching any more of the game!! Overjoy

  • 282

    Not the end of the world… hehehe

    … just the beginning of the end… hahaha

  • 283

    Wat ons wel hier geleer het, is jy kort goeie ervaring op 9 of 10, het FDP erg gemis in hierdie game. Hy is ons SLEUTELspeler, veral vir noordelike halfrond rugby.

    Iere was baie meer gemotiveerd, ons manne oorgerus. Hougie was baie swak, Pollard, Jan, JDV en Willie aan die einde nie goed nie, en ons IRB speler van die jaar het dalk al oor sy toekenning begin droom.

    Het Habana gespeel ?

    Hele span moet diep ondersoek gaan doen, jy is net so goed soos jou laaste game.

  • 284

    Well, I am now really looking forward to watching The Boks play Wales….

    It might be quite a game !! Pleasure

  • 285

    273. Ja Pietman.

    Hopefully history repeats itself.

  • 286

    As bad as we were, it is clear that Ireland could be a contender at 2015

  • 287

    Scotland won….. Fark, how often can you say that!!

  • 288

    275: maar hy is ‘n beginner ? 😉

  • 289

    @ Pietman:
    Pietman…..daai dryf: bestudeer die “laws of the game” – the referee was correct in that instance. Poite made mistakes but IMO he wasn’t the reason that we have lost.
    I still feel the yellow against Strauss was harsh

    In tests you need to take your points ….we erred badly in that regard !!

  • 290

    Ireland played the ref very cleverly… he allowed them to get away with things… so they continued doing what they were doing.

    Bokke did not adapt to it… and then of course Hougie had a bad game, so too Reinach for that matter.

    I do not think Jan Serfontein was good either and Cornal also disappointed.

    Our scrums went well, the lineouts went well… but the Irish forwards showed good urgency to hassle us.

    Face it, the Irish backline was also better than the Bok backline.

  • 291

    Nou ja, nou gaan HM uitgetrap word omdat sy span teen alle kostes hardlooprugby wou speel en net driee druk ….

    Ruan en Morne as skakelpaar iemand ?

  • 292

    @ Pietman:

    Poite was korrek met om die dryfmaal te stop – hy het hulle 2 maal gewaarsku “use it once … use it twice”, & die Bokke nog kans gegee om die bal los te maak, maar hulle het nie gehoor gegee nie – wat moes hy doen? Niks anders as om hulle te straf nie ….

    Poite het nie balle aangeslaan nie, hy’t nie dieselfde ding oor en oor probeer doen en sonder punte uit die Ierse se halfgebied gekom nie

    As jy so lank nul op die bord het moet jy iets anders probeer

    Ons kon ten minste nog 6 punte gehad het van die twee strafskoppe

  • 294

    John Smit on OSN in Dubai: “Irish turned the game into a street fight, they knew that all we had was a slingshot and they stole all the stones!”
    He says yellow card wasn’ t the reason for our loss.

    And it has been a trademark for three years, if we have not learnt yet…

    Folks, remember, tomorrow’s game between Saracens vs DHL Western Province, will also be live here on Rugby-Talk.com

  • 297

    286: as die WB in die suidelike halfrond gespeel word, het geen noordelike halfrond span ‘n kans nie.

    Die feit dat WB volgende jaar in Engeland is, maak dit 50-50 soos vandag gewys het.

    Maar ons was volspoed oppad vorentoe met die dryf, dan nie? Wat beteken” use it “in daai situasie?

    Ons moet verseker ons “ball in hand” approach bietjie demper in die noordelike harlfrond.

    Geensins, ek sal diesefde 15-tal speel, behalwe dat ek vir JPP sal inbring op #14 – Cornal sal nie vir Engeland se groot, sterk & vinnige #11, May, kan keer nie.
    Maar die spelpatroon moet aangepas word inaggenome NH toestande & jou teenstanders se sterk- en swak punte. En beide Hougaard & Pollard moet hul spel afwissel – kan nie aanmekaar dieselfde ding doen & verwag jy gaan wen nie.
