Great stuff. Well done to the Springbok players, but the coaching staff should breathe a sigh of relief. Their premature substitutions almost handed the game to the lions.

Hopefully the dumbasses caught a wake up and will know not to mess with a working combo so early in the match :mad: And I think it's been 100% proved that we need the likes of Brussouw instead of the lumbering oaf that is D Rossouw ...... ditto for replacing Fourie with the awfully clueless Januarie.

I hope PDV has learned his lesson pulling off key players so early.

Yes I can't believe he subbed Brussouw so early. The Bokke were lucky with their win today. If PDV had any brains, he'd kept Brussouw on until at least the 70th minute. And subbing Jean DV instead of Jacobs for Fourie? :eek:

Isn't it also strange that for a whole half, Bryce pings the Lions and when they continue doing what they were getting pinged for in the second half, he starts pinging the Boks ...... what a confused chap he is eh.

only mistake imho was PDV bringing up all the replacements at almost the same time.

hands up tp PdV for putting his hand up re the subs

yeah that was big of him. For me, all is forgiven now. I think he learnt his lesson.

Rather an honest coach that learns, than a coach who denies and continues to make mistakes.

I'm really ticked off at the poor audio during the match. It pretty much ruined the first half for me. So much so I even posted in the wrong place about it!

My misplaced post

Any chance it could be moved here?
