@Macro
The only thing we are in control of at the moment is the scrums….but even with the dominance, the USA are managing to hook quickly and get their ball.
Line out mauls are being nullified, backline is passing left to right and back without making any yards.
All that seperates us on the scoreboard is one fluky try and a poor miss from their kicker.
Basic skills lacking in the bok side. I wonder if heyneke puts them through catching and passing drills. Or is it just kicking and rolling mauls? Not going to win any comps like that.
Pollard almost in for a try… Bokke 6m out
Pollard got up illegally after being tackled 🙄
Jesse Kriel over…
TMO
Looked short to me.
Short… Niku Kruger has held him short.
Bokke 5m scrum
Some nice offloading from the forwards.
Come on Bokke, give us a power scrum here!
Stem saam!
Waar’s jou maatjie Blou-Voel?
Flok, no emoticons!
@ nortie:
Scrums, territory and defense, this is our gameplan and it will be so for the rest of the world cup no matter how much people complain… and it is being executed.
@ grootblousmile:
That was a good offload by Beast, and a nice running angle by Pollard.
Try Etzebeth?
No, a Bokke penalty, 5m out
71 @ Vrystaat:
Yip, very good!
Habana & Scully back on from their concussion tests
Bokke scrum penalty again and USA get a talking to
What must the US captain need to tell his props? Teach them to scrum? Ridiculous

We should wear them out and run away with the game in the second half, but if this is how we plan to execute from the QF onwards, then we are in trouble IMO.
No reward so far on the scoreboard.
Penalty Try to the Bokke… scrum doing it’s job!
Clinical!
Springboks 14 / 0 USA
@ nortie:
Just need a few scoring opportunities to win a knock out.
We are definitely not setting the world on fire, but rather sticking to structure, don’t worry Nortie you will get your sbru score 😛
69: Ja, ou Early Bird het ‘n fight gesoek, maar ek het kalm gebly, slaan nie vrouens nie.
Was nie ‘n maklike aand vir die Engelse nie, ek sal seker ook so dikbek gewees het as my span so gechoke het in die WB. 😯
80 @ MacroPolo:
Bokke by 44, hope so.
I’m not reading anything into this game, USA resting their A side for their “World Cup Final” against Japan.
We should easily dispatch this side, but making very heavy weather of it
USA penalty, Flo playing the ball off his feet.
Penalty is 8m from the USA line
Can we just please pass use the ball from a scrum and not just wait for the penalty.
Met JDV en Vic nou daar op die kantlyn het HM nou ‘n goeie voor- en agterspeler afrigter.
A minnow side is always up for it in the 1st half hour.. we have seen it over and over all the years of rugby…
82 @ nortie:
Nothing to gain from throwing it around.
1. Play in their half and get our tactical kicking sorted.
2. Concede as few tries as possible.
@ nortie:
> “Executed against the American B team?”
The problem with a game like this is that it is a lose-lose situation: if you win big, people say it was only the American B team. If you don’t win big, people say you couldn’t even convincingly beat the American B Team. Only thing one can hope for is that the Boks get through the game without injuries, and with a bonus point.
Swak skop fdp
Bokke penalty 5m out…
USA playing a spoiling game
