Bokke penalty… after 2 successive penalty advantages for not rolling away.
Faf and Elton are playing well. Thank goodness.
Jantjies pops it into the corner for the 5m lineout
Again the ball is ripped from the Bokke forwards… eish
Just men against boys at the moment
Beast is so bloody predictable as well… there is only one way for him…
Eish… too many errors… far too many!
think we’re going to have to find a new captain. We seem to have another John Smith situation.
No sign that the Boks have really improved on last week
Easy Ireland scrum penalty, in front… shot it is.
Frans Malherbe is a huge liability, I am afraid…
Springboks 3 / 9 Ireland
Bokke lineout on Halfway…
One senses that the awe that other teams used to have for the Boks has completely evaporated into the mists of the past.
@ grootblousmile:
Yes agree. He, DeAllende, Le Roux and the captain sprint to mind
Boks are the only team in the world coached by the players and not a professional coach
Yet another Ireland penalty, no clear release again… posts again…
Freegin hell!
Springboks 3 / 12 Ireland
@ The_Young_Turk:
I think its more than simply a sense. The respect is gone completely.
Is Toetie out of his depth as coach against Master Tactitian coaches or are the Springbok players to blame and just not on par??
Bokke penalty and Jantjies will try to draw 3 points back
Shocking by SA thus far.
Don’t know how they can turn this around.
@ Tassies:
Yes, you’re right. And now with Ireland 2 scores ahead I don’t see any come back on the cards.
Off the lefthand post.. missed.
Bokke get another easier penalty though… shot again.
This time Jantjies misses to the left… eish!
@ grootblousmile:
Don’t think a new coach will resolve the problem – the issues go much deeper and have been a long time in the making.
@ rugby_only:
I totally disagree. These players do not have the collective nous to coach themselves.
Try Devin Toner, Ireland!!

Phweeew…
Try it will be.. there was no Ireland knock…
