1. No injuries
Thanks Vrystaat 😉
Bokke opt to scrum again…
Drive the advantage home in the scrums, Bokke!
@ Vrystaat:
We don’t even need a BP, a win will do.
Even if we end on the same points as Scotland we go through 1st by virtue of having beaten them.
Bissie gets close, then USA break out of their 22…
USA penalty… and they will have a lineout in the Bokke 22
Afronding glad nie goed nie.
Jis ons tackle die kak uit hulle uit.
Bokke penalty, nice steal by Bissie

@ Vrystaat:
I will defer to you, if you are happy with how they are playing against this side, I will be happy with you and for you 😀
Wat drink ons?
Ek is WEER op Biershandy!
Savanna Dry.
Maar geen emoticons nie.
88: Spot on.
All and all, first time we had been tested in defense, our kicking has been hit and mostly miss, so we really need to work on that, hopefully we can score early now and put some replacements on, Francois Louw has been excellent.
FDP is having a shocker
@ nortie:
Since the Japan game, I have apparently lowered my expectations so much that I’m now happy with very little;-)

Trying to keep Web Host CPU usage down a bit, therefore the de-activation of a few Plugins… including the big Emoticons
I dont understand why FDP is taking forever to get the ball out of the scrum when the backline is ready and waiting… only to keep taking quick taps while the rest of his team is scattered.

Ha ha, too true.
My issue with this first half is not about how big the score is, it’s the quality of our play.
IMO, we are taking backward steps from what we did against Samoa and Scotland.
Bearing in mind, HM picked his strongest possible side, and we have to take into consideration that this is not America’s strongest side.
All we have to show is one lucky try and one penalty try. If we have 5 more 5m scrums, we can pick up 5 more penalty tries, but it doesn’t work like that.
We are not scoring due to planned moves.
Imagine the Lions’ CC team against these Yanks…I’m sure they would have scored at least 5 times already
2nd Half ON!
Flouw is the motm so far
Tryyyyyyyyy Habana, converted!
Springboks 21 / 0 USA
Last weekend Ayoub as TMO tried his best to get JPP sent off, today he gives Habana the benefit, he gives Habana the try….strange how harsh he tried to be when we played Scotland and how lenient he is today
1 More Bokke try needed for the Bonus point, just to make sure we end 1st in the Pool
112 @ nortie:
It ALWAYS has to be about giving the right call.. not being strict or being lenient…
We want the correct decisions, simple as that.

After the farce of the MoM award when Eng played Aus I don’t think anyone takes it too serious anymore 😀
The problem is the MoM is awarded via SMS or something from the public, hence the Georgia captain winning it against the AB’s and a Pom winning it while his team lost 33-13 and got dumped from the tournament
Bokke penalty, 5m out.. offside!
Scrum again boys… they do!
106 @ grootblousmile:
Thought so cos I noticed it the other day as well.
Frustrating but I understand!
Try Bissie, bonus point!
Boomfa!
Our scrum is being more disruptive to our attack more than anything.
Send on the replacements
