Game time is what we need. So what if we lost. We need our players match fit and they not going to get match fit by sitting on the bench. The turning point for me was brussouw going off but we are getting there.

Awesome game and we did very well. When this team is fit we are going to kick serious ass in the world cup.

when this team is fit, the same twits will continue to do the BB thing and kick away possession ;)
 
A full strength Bok team is a match for any team. Frankly if the team plays to their potential, cut out their errors, there is every chance, we will hold on to the W.C.

The team just needs some game time together. I am pretty sure the Bokke have the best win ratio at World Cups, every team will want to avoid us come knock-outs, there is nothing left to prove by the old gaurd...

For f uck sakes!!! It's for this reason that I keep saying wrap the 1st XV in cotton wool until the world cup!!! Tri-Nations is meaningless in the context of a world cup year!!

Ja, Killa, everything is under control. As I keep saying a spot in the semi finals is a shoo-in!! If we get past NZ in the semi's we will win the World Cup but our chances of knocking them over are about 40/60. I really hope we play our B team next week and get the 30 point hiding on offer. We can let the 1st's have a go at them in the semi's. No point in going hell for leather now to try knock them over!!! There is really nothing to gain from it other than another injury to a key player.

Perhaps a blessing in disguise, JS is clearly not the best hooker/prop in SA. Give Victor the armband, the squad has enogh experience even without Capt Fantastic.

Well will see about that but this is a massive blow i think. So will steyn be if is that hamstring is 6 weeks. Considering how the aussies were tackling today i wonder if they were trying to get our players injured.

Ya at least we know the all blacks won't come and try break our necks next week :D unlike those criminals we just played.

A worrying stat. The Wallabies have beaten south africa 4 times out of the last five, and twice in south africa.

Well they are not a rubbish team, i am sure there have been times where we have nailed them 4 or 5 times in a row as well :D. Stats mean squat when you are world champions :D. Come beat us in the world cup you criminals!!!!!!! Two of those games have been against our b team and against a team with players coming back from injury so it means nothing :p

I dunno man it looks like nobody is seeing the bigger picture :D. Surely there are only positives to take out this game? Big players back, fighting spirit is there. All we need now is fitness and we will romp to another world cup victory :D.

Honestly dude, look at the way the AB's are playing and look at the way we are playing. We couldn't even muster a single try. I can finally say that John Smit is really useless..

ABs have been the team to beat for the last 10 years. But lets count their WC successes.... 1..........tw- o wait...

Chris said:
Killa you keep changing your tune. Your earlier posts suggested the boks were going to win and now that they didn't, you are simply making excuses which ring hollow.

Yes some of the players hadn't played for 8 weeks but that means they should have been well-rested unlike the Aussies. I mean isn't that one of PDV's justifications for not playing them overseas?

As they ABs how well there top players played in the first week after they rested them before the last WC....

Ronjay said:
Nah, our starting 15 were mauling the Aussies. Changes were made, and all the K@K started. Aplon, Guthro, shockers.

Gio had a shocker, but Guthro simply needs game time as he has not had any in months.

Albereth said:
Danie Roussouw and Gio Aplon can go back to Currie Cup.

Sorry JS - there isn't a slot for you and where is Willem Alberts?

Alberts is injured. But if Spies keeps the form he showed yesterday Alberts can ready himself for the bench.

That's just being ignorant i'm afraid. 2007 was an easy run for us, no-one can deny that. 1995 was well deserved. Our performances since 2007 have been terrible. 2009 is the only year we have really done well since 2007. We can't go winning an odd world cup here and there and then cancel out all the other performances, that's just sorely ignorant. We need some consistency.
