OK, time to look back…
Think Francois Louw was way too quiet and when Jaco Kriel replaced him things started to happen…
Couple of silly errors by Faf de Klerk… but he tried all game…
Elton Jantjies had a mixed bag… some very silly knocks and a kick into Adriaan Strauss’ back which gave away a 5m penalty… and a few misses at goal.
De Allende was far too quiet…
Johan Goosen at fullback, also a bit of a mixed bag…
Faf de Klerk is awarded Man Of The Match!
Nobody played badly, but I think the cohesiveness and creativity needs lots of work… and the Springboks handling not near the quality we saw this afternoon from the All Blacks.
The last 10 minutes from the Bokke was sublime, though!!
AB will kill us if we play like this. Hope we get better as the season progresses.
Faf played well but for me MOTM was Oupa.
I thought he had a great game and in truth I slagged his selection.
Jaco Kriel and PSDT made an impact when they came on.
Goosen dissapointed me, as dit Janties to an extent.
I am convinced that WW is the most intelligent player in SA. Maybe not the strongest, but absolutely the most intelligent.
Have a great evening guys.
A scrappy win to celebrate.
Very poor performance by the boks overall. Skill levels not up to international standards. Tactical kicking, line kicks, tackling, handling and general game tactics was just horribly poor.
How many line kicks did not go out? WW almost cost them the match with a horrible line kick right at the end. Some incidents they’ve missed three to four tackles in a row.
Support at the breakdowns was poor. Too many penalties for undisciplined play at the tackle ball, as well.
This team are at risk of losing all their remaining matches of this series. The will loose in Argentina, Australia and New Zealand.
The will loose against the AB in SA and will loose against Aussie in SA unless they step up big time.
