The Rugby Thread - Part Deux

[Heisenborg]

NZ takes the nr1 ranking also

 

[Heisenborg]

Oh look. Another knock on

 

[SeRpEnT]

Scrum was so dominant until that point - NZ were on the back foot

Exactly.
That's where the AB got back.
Gave them all the confidence. Even chose scrum option against us.

 

[Pegging]

Well that was an epic disappointment.

Yeah, but if you look at some of the faces of those fans who paid R4000 a ticket, you can be happy you still have your money.

 

[Whright]

Well done NZ.

 

[Vrotappel]

Boks played like **** with the ball but the ref was shittier than the boks. A lot of very poor decisions.

 

[Mike7]

This team needed to be taken down a peg. We have amazing backs and they didn’t get a sniff today because we thought winning a scrum penalty was more important than scoring points.

 

[L-Dog]

Dominated the first 60 minutes without scoring, maybe a bit arrogant with the scrums and handling was shocking looked like it was out first game of the season.

 

[Mzezman]

Some questionable decisions but they were not the reason Bokke lost - 5-1 tries, scoreless in the second half... The Bokke backs had no influence at all, Wiese was immense but the backs had no run ball at all

 

[TedLasso]

Will be a good wake up call for the guys. We are not imperious. Lots to learn about what not to do going forward. Rassie and the coaches are going to be giving some guys grief.

SFM certainly out for 2nd test...

SFM certainly out for 2nd test...

I've never seen him this bad

No 9 and 10 got a lot of ball and messed it up. Sacha FM should not be starting.

Gonna be a tough week for the players. Expect a lot of changes

 

[ctriaan]

We have to find a way to win the breakdowns. Their clean outs were borderline illegal, but very effective.

 

[Jean Claude Vaaldamme]

First half we hammered them in the scrums. We tackled them back meters. We were on the front foot all the way. Why would we keep kicking for 3 points. Should have buried them there and then.
We needed Manie there in the first half and it would have been all over.
Was Kriel even on the field?

 

[DarkStarMonday]

Ok I’m done..



GLHF

 

[dualmeister]

Yeah, but if you look at some of the faces of those fans who paid R4000 a ticket, you can be happy you still have your money.

Yip.

 

[Devo1]

Knock knock, whose there?

Can play this same team next week, just change SFM for Pollard and Grant for Faf (who is not there I know).

Oh and give the captaincy to Pollard or Eben. Pieter-Steph will deliver without that pressure.

Was one of the best backs on defense together with de Allende. Could not attack because the ball never came their way because of SFM and Wiese taking on the line every single time when it was not kicked away.
