@ grootblousmile:
thanks Gbs pity Pollard missed the penalty
Picamoles culpably offside… Bokke penalty….
Pollard for goal again…. bit longer…. 45m out
Again he misses to the right…
Lemoenetyd
Pollard vir pale. Langer maar reguit. Weer wyd. Shyte. Pollard reeds 8 punte gemis met skoppe.
Pollard definately more robust on attack than Jantjies… and he defends better too.
Francois Venter also miles better than De Allende…
The Bokke intent is there, the effort is there… execution on attack and on defence is still a problem.

That’s good Gbs but it’s scoring points too that wins the game and McLook points out he has dropped 8 in that half, hopefully we come out and score soon after the break
Studio commentators echoing my sentimets re Pollard on attack and how well Francois Venter is doing…
Boks look a lot better than last week. However, still very one dimensional on attack.
Sure Pollard missed 8 points at goal… and he should have gotten 6 out of the 8 at least…
But with Pollard running the game, the Bokke are at least attacking the advantage line with much more success.
Bokke tactical kicking and that includes Pollard was’nt to sharp though… and needs to improve a lot.
2nd Half ON!
Bokke MUST now keep the pressure up and not relent…
Bokke penalty against the French Captain…. this one kickable too….
Kicked towards the corner, out 15m out.
French turnover scrum…
Mucked up a line out drive. Good defence France.
France scrum penalty against Beast…
French penalty, high tackle…
Kickable penalty for France after sustained attack.
France should take the lead here…
France 10 / 8 Springboks
Over. France in the lead.
France penalty advantage man over the ball… penalty is given.
French box kicking not of the same quality as Ireland last week.
Bokkies in defensive mode at the moment. Not getting hands on the ball.
France paas out to touch…
Good line out drive SA.
Leyds loses the ball in contact…
Damn, would have been nice to have had Mapimpi out there…
Bit better bokkies. Same phase play after great line out drive.
