Conditions were atrocious so I don't think we can read too much into this game.

Pollard needs another season or two in Super Rugby. He isn't playing schoolboy rugby anymore.

Our front three need some work. Strauss looked much better than Bismark and I'd start with him next game.

Pienaar had a good game and I think the conditions suited him well.

And hey, we're top of the log which is nice.

Do you think Loftus has the facilities to host two emergency meetings on Sunday?

I just listened to Heyneke talking on and on about what a great performance it was from the Boks and how they showed character and how great the leadership was and that the youngsters really stood out....

He also reckons the scrums are nothing to worry about because it was simply because it was wet and slippery...

His biggest excuse for the Boks struggling is the fact that 70% of the Argentina players play in Europe and are more experienced in this type of weather.

Oh yeah. Ruan Pienaar was his man of the match and the best player on the field.

I honestly think Ruan showed his value in this game. He certainly ain't good in a fast flowing match but in this match, in these conditions he showed why he should be back-up scrumhalf for the world cup.

Hm has no plot to lose ......... fact is that the Australasian teams are smiling in anticipation of playing us because we suck that badly.

We have zero chance against against NZ, AUS, & some EU teams.

We are playing typical HM bluebull rugby.
Keep running into the oppositions pack.
Don't use your back line.
Kick your possession away.

It was a fecking dismal perfomans by the boks.

You can't really use your backline to full effect in those conditions. Even Aus and NZ were reduced to kick chase in their game. Doing flashy stuff is asking for trouble.

Golden Lions captain Warren Whiteley has been called up to the Springbok squad as a replacement for the injured Willem Alberts.
