    O Flok, Ruan Pienaar is on… for Fourie du Preez!

    Surely he can’t do too much damage?

  • 273

    Scotland penalty on halfway… kicked nicely into the corner.

    Bokke must defend well now…

  • 274

    Daar verloor Ruan sy eerste bal..?

  • 275

    Bokke scrum, on their own 5m line.

    1 Minute to go in the game

  • 276

    Come on Bokke, throw hell for leather here!

    One word to describe this match. Clinical.

  • 280

    Scotland hack it out…

    Bokke win!

  • 281

    Well done to The Springboks, well done to my Saffa friends.

    Thanks for your company, catch you later.

    Coach don’t be a stranger!! 🙂

  • 282

    🙂 Close . The donkey is on the field (Pienaar)

  • 283

    Goeie wen Bokke. Al die reserwes kan nou teen USA speel, hopelik kry Paige ‘n kans.

    Vandag se span net so vir kwarteind, net Vic in PSDT se plek, en Paige in Ruan se plek.

    Good game, good win
    Job done

    Pity the Bokke could not get the bonus point for tries!

  • 287

    Nope good to see you again and everyone else

  • 288

    Well, relieved the game is over and in the bag.

    No Log Points for the Scots today!

    Well done Bokke. Lood or Skalla my MOTM

    Vic is nie n impak speler nie, sien nie die nut om hom op te bring vir 10 minute as hy nie ouens gaan seermaak in die tackle nie

    Next game is on in an hour and 17 minutes.

  • 292

    Job done; QF here we come.

  • 293

    What can we take from this match?
    The unfortunate injury to JdV and VM has been a blessing in disguise.
    The decision of making FdP Captain (yes, I am giving HM some credit)
    The balance between the young and the old guard that are still there
    The balance between mauling and getting the ball wide.
    And Lood.
    Negatives – Jannie, aimless kicks, some of the wayward passing…..and, well, that was just about it.

    I say again. Clinical

    290 @ nortie:
    I also do not see the sense in playing Victor off the bench… one either starts with him or one leaves him out of the 23 altogether.

  • 295

    23 carries between Lood and Eben

  • 296

    Not sure Victor should start maybe thats why he was not made captain

  • 297

    Ek dink Vic kan juis ‘n baie groter impak maak in games wat baie taaier en spannend gaan wees. Sy ervaring kan dan goud werd wees.

    As die ander span moeg verdedig is en nie meer kan spring nie,dink net hoe kan Vic amok saai in lynstane.

    Teen die beste spanne, as game op mespunt is, en ons het aanvallende of verdedigende lynstaan in laaste minute, dan weet ek wie ek daar wil hê, oupa Vic.

    Maar as HM gaan met al drie jong manne, sal ek dit ook ondersteun.

  • 298

    Lood and Eben were outstanding but my MOM was FDP

  • 299

    Its not perfect yet, still not good enough to win the world cup, but

    we are getting our territory game in order
    we are cleaning more efficiently to allow quick ball
    we are defending like trojans

    Negatively:
    We are still too predictable on attack
    Our runners off 9 still get the ball while standing on their heels, allowing the opposition to tackle us behind the gainline.
    Kicking in their half when we have an overlap.

    We just need to strike that balance.

    If we can get this down we will be unstoppable
