Will be good. Even better if you you plan it around a springbok/AB test match.
Great defence by Canes just before half time. Lions was great!!!
32 @ McLook:
Yeah… that’s round about what I am planning…
This new stadion in Dunedin is a beauty. Lions played beautiful too.
35 @ McLook:
I guess you are happy with how the Lions played… hahaha
Or am I mistaken?

Awesome. Good excuse to go to the rugby for me.

Yeah I am. Was getting worried that you missed that:).
2nd Half ON!
Canes penalty and a shot at goal!
Missed by Barrett…
Canes just bundled out in the far corner, after a great break by Barrett… everytime I am surprised by his speed, every time…
What Lions did today had a very positive effect on how NZlsnders view SA rugby. It’s not that they won that matters. It’s how they won that really impressed in this country.
43 @ McLook:
How the Lions play should be the future blueprint for SA Rugby, undoubtedly so!
With a guy like Allister Coetzee at the helm it cannot happen, I am afraid.
So, the Springboks need Johan Ackermann and Swys Joubert… will not happen though!
Penalty Landers, right in front, pop-over easy!
Highlanders 14 / 6 Hurricanes
Hello well done to the Lions for winning their game earlier.
47 @ Bullscot:
Hello Bully!
Canes close now… 1m out
Try TJ Perenara!

@ grootblousmile:
Hi Gbs howzit? Not long up here, read BlitzBoks, along with Kenya NZ and Aus have already qualified for the quarterfinal in Vegas with one round of pool games to play and Bryan Habana got his first try since coming back to 7s
51 @ Bullscot:
Thanks!
Yeah, the Vegas Sevens is at aweful hours here in SA… and I have to sleep at some stages… hahaha
Try Canes?

Yeah you right. Allister will be a disaster. My view would be give a guy like Ackerman a contact no matter what happens the first three years.
Looks inconclusive to me… should be back for a Canes penalty.
Yip… a penalty on the 5m line of the Landers!
Highlanders 14 / 16 Hurricanes
54 @ McLook:
I’d also give Ackermann enough time to foster that whole new balanced game approach at the Springboks… and that is NEVER going to happen overnight!
Allister Coetzee is simply too conservative in his thinking and one-dimentional in his approach… it will just see a continuance of the current situation of limited game appraoch and not evolving the final product of total South African rugby.
The only problem I see is that Johan Ackermann is maybe a year or so shy of being the easy and logical choice as Springboks coach… and that will count against him when the appointment is considered.

Yip totally agree. Give him time to change the culture.

#52 thought you were a machine that didn’t need sleep just a bit of oil to keep you going
59 @ Bullscot:
At the moment my dipstick is showing no oil… hahaha
