Cherry on Top Moment - Bryce Lawrence once again influencing the game against SA by disallowing that try ............ ja.

 

[Vrotappel]

PdV should get fired for this but seeing he is an AA appointee it will never happen.

This type of thing is what's wrong with SA. People are placed into positions which they don't have the skills for. This makes me so f***ing mad I want to break something.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

And what's the bet that the same carp that Bakkies got cited for, which the BIL used gloriously today, not to mention the kneeing in the bck of Du Preez will get completely overlooked by the citing arse

Man I completely agree with you. The guy can't even talk properly.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

And there's poor Smit being asked what went wrong and he has to be all diplomatic and not say "Oh Joel, it was the idiotic changes made by the coach, not to mention the utter lack of BMT displayed by half of those changed players"

 

[Zyzzyva]

Our player talent is simply not being used at the moment. I don't mind losing, but i hate playing like losers.

Today we played schoolboy rugby.

Where is the sophistication in our game plan? I don't see us doing any coordinated attacking running. It rehash after rehash. Run, get tackled, lose ball, defend. I don't know, it all seems very amateurish. I think what is clear is our coaching staff do not know how to use the talent at their disposal.

I think we can all agree the lions are better coached.

Yes,

The lions are dirty, and they haven't been pinged for it.

Cherry on Top Moment - Bryce Lawrence once again influencing the game against SA by disallowing that try ............ ja.

Give me a break, That disallowed try was the exact same as the one disallowed in the 2007 world cup final against England, unless you are insinuating that Try in the world cup that was not allowed for England was also a match "influencing" moment.

 

[Vrotappel]

The whole thing was farcical - from the moment the selected team was announced until the last disallowed try.

Where have you ever seen a coach changing both wings and fullback when he had a fit winning combination? PdV retard has no sense of occasion and the importance of a Lions series is totally lost upon him.

Hmm ,glad someone else said it... I was thinking to myself that I wonder what all the Bulls fans are going to say now that all the players they wanted were included and we had the biggest score ever scored against us. (Best I add "by the Lions" before some ass tries to change the subject by harping on about that )

Well yes, it was identical... expect for the fact that the England player's foot could clearly be seen stepping on the line whereas 12 replays from various angles of Ndungane were still inconclusive... The TMO had to speculate whether he was out or not!

OK, last weeks try by Jaque Fourie was allowed in the corner and that was a match influencing try, so i cant stand it when people say the Bokke are always hard done by, when 70% of 50/50 calls go the way of the Bokke.

Ha ha ha ha Pom alert!

I think we need to watch the game again together and see how many 50/50 calls go against the Boks. My bet is on you losing that one!

Even when out of the tension of a match situation the decisions go against the Boks. And then there is no excuse as the replays can be watched in slow motion and with cool heads and no pressure. But still Bakkies gets banned for two weeks for clearing a ruck. Sheridan doesn't even get a word said to him for hitting someone in the nuts. O'Driscoll gets away scot free for a no arms shoulder charge on Roussouw which concussed him. Yip, you are right.... clearly 70% of all calls go the Boks way!

If you were to be honest even 90/10 calls go against us!!!!!

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

but last weeks try was 100% a try too

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

I was the one saying "Yes there is up and coming talent there, but let them get more experience" ........ any up and comers need to be impact players for quite a while ... this whole put-them-on-coz-they-are-Bulle BS is just that, BS.

Ha ha ha ha, clutch plate alert.

We all see things with one eye open when it comes to our teams that we support.

You see Bakkies as a fair clean player, i see him as a play the man, not the ball, type of player.

We all see what we want to see, but to say the Bokke are always hard done by with refs is a big call, about as big as the calls that went the Bokke's way in the 2005 world cup semi against the french.

 

[LancelotSA]

Ha ha ha ha, clutch plate alert.

You appear to get everything wrong... I'm as English as you'll get!

So, does it not say something when the Springboks have now played 11 tests under the refereeing of Stuart Dickinson and have only won three of those.... I'm sure you'll find the Boks overall record is a lot higher than that percentage! But then again that must only be the case because we are one eyed!

So the rules of rugby now say that you can be cited for just tackling someone if your previous disciplinary record is not that of an angel? Hmm, interesting that! And I'm afraid you have a distinct lack of understanding of the intricacies of rugby if your view is that everyone plays for the ball only.... you need players who slog it out in the trenches clearing the ball for those who are meant to play with the ball.

I seriously doubt you are English as they come, because if you are , where is your patriotism for you fellow bloodline countrymen.

Bakkies spends more time in the Citing officers court room then what he does in the gym, thats why when he does something suspicious, they always pin him for it.

I never once said I was an Englishman, I said I was English!
