Peter de Villiers, Yay or Nah?

[sand_man]

Obviously we either saw different games or viewed it form different perspectives (Soccer?). How many times did we breach the OZ goal line as compared to the many times they breach ours of which only two counted. We looked like a beaten team and not the champs we are supposed to be, were we found out? Were we just lucky? We will experience that realization on Saturday when we face a restored AB team as we just faced a full strenth Wannaby team. Our hope is that Henry is now overconfident and follows the wrong game plan. My hope is the PDV wake up from his lusiv "dream" and realise his big mouth is becoming a major embarresment to ALL South Africans and a yardstick to which the boks will be measured in future..

PS: Excuse me this was a Ass whiping "encounter of the third kind' where the champions fielded against a team that we should have burried if only we were up to it. The final score was ... wait for it.... 21-6. We did nothing during the last 29 minutes and even less during the last 40 minutes.

9-6 after 65 is hardly an ass whipping, disallowed Brussouw try, forward pass that lead to Ozzie 1st try, knock on from OZ no 6 prior to OZ 2nd trie, watch the game again...

Tackling is a fundamental aspect of the game. That we made tackles at the 25th hour resulting in 3 illegal tries speaks volumes for our defense..

@ penguin - I give up with you. You have another agenda.

You should rather support the Ozzies. You cannot expect the Boks to win every single game. That is impossible.

You need to stop stirring. You blast the Boks, saying they got ripped apart, yet you never seem to compliment the Boks in them being BRILLIANT in winning 4 out of 4 games.

Its like you waiting for PDV and the boys to fail, so you can come on here and stir stir stir.

Give it a break.

I'm one of them. I can't wait for this to fail and blast the crap out of Lancelot . I hope he proves me wrong though.

Then you are a fake Bok supporter!!! Why would you want the Boks ever to fail.

Clearly Penguin has vast experience in the field and just by the sense that he talks and the brilliant arguments he posts its clear for all to see that winning 4/5 games is a disaster BUT winning 1/4 is brilliant.

Penguin and Malema should write a book together.....

Honestly dude, tone it down. That's the only line you ever use!

Then again maybe you don't know who Ozztralia is :erm:

 

[Cantera]

Tone it down? By calling you a fake supporter? You are a fake supporter in my eyes.

Call a spade a spade. Hoping the Boks will lose? How can you even call yourself a Bok supporter?

 

[killadoob]

I agree with cantera, wanting the boks to fail so you can be right is shocking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You may as well admit you support the aussies or all blacks.

Unpatriotic. I would want us to win even if they replaced morne with ruan. I would not sit there thinking come on ruan miss the easy penalty so i go on the forum and say how i was so right about ruan. I would be sitting there hoping he puts it over.

Nope I'm not sitting hoping they lose. I want them to succeed and prove me wrong. Same with PdV. But when it all goes pearshape I'm just happy to say "See I told you so"

 

[killadoob]

Nothing has gone pear shaped though, we have won 4 out of 5 games and are on the verge of an epic tri nations win.

I think PDV hasn't done a bad job since, many say he "inherited" a star studded team, yes that's true in away but some ones got to make them work together. Most of the time he gets things spot on but the one thing thats annoying me at the moment is the Fly half position. Yes I know the Natal guys are known for being a little over protective over our Sharks players but come now, who is the better complete fly half? Morne or Ruan?

Morne for me is a kicking machine, tell him to kick the ball through the posts and 9/10 times he will do it for you, but where his good at that, he lacks the vision that a true flyhalf needs. Ruan for me has this. He spots things we cant see on our TV. He creates so much more and dictates things much more better than Morne. I say for Saturday PDV should swap Morne and Ruan's positions and see how things go even though me being a Sharks supporter would love to see Frans Steyn start the game, lets see what Morne has to offer in the number 15 jersey.

Sounds very reasonable for Morne to play at fullback. Remember that Percy Montgomery was pretty useless anywhere except as fullback - but in that position he was almost as good as Andre Joubert.

To be fair the game plan changed in the 4th test and we were scintillating, scoring 4 tries. Don't be fooled by the scoreline, that game was done and dusted by half time and then we took our foot off the pedal some what (it's been a long season).We thumped OZ playing their running game.

We could very well have done the same in Brisbane. People are going on how we were outplayed but 65minutes into the game the score was 9-6 for Gods sakes, hardly a thrashing. Yes OZ had 3 tries disallowed but we had the Brussuow trie disallowed and Jacque Fourie came very close on 2 occasions to scoring as well so we were extremely competitive...

Oz didn't have any tries disallowed - those were not tries.

But when, and I'm pretty convinced it would. That is when it will become pretty fun

I do hope I'm wrong.

 

[killadoob]

I hope you are wrong as well, i am going to tease the kuk outta ya should we nail the all blacks although that may come back and bite me should we lose .

 

[ClericZA]

I think that the frustration we're all feeling is that we could have wrapped it up with an average performance. Now we've put ourselves under unneccesary pressure.

Please tell me again why January is on the bench? We have 3 srummys in a match-day 22. What a waste. Bring in cover at titehead, so that Smit can move to hoocker and gutro can come on in the last 15.

I dont believe you. I actually think deep down you hope you are right.

 

[Pitbull]

lol, well thank you for pointing out the obvious

But it's nice everytime we win and do it good. I cheer for them as hard as I can. But I wait for that day that all goes south. I know it will come or else I wouldn't have said so......

 

[Cantera]

I HATE supporters like you dude. You are the worst kind. Whats the point of supporting the team if you waiting for the day they fail, so you can say ''I told you so''.

I support my team win or lose. Even if things look bad and the odds of winnning is stacked against us, i will support them.

If your team is steering for disaster after you warned them this would happen. Then I'm more than willing to stand back if I was wrong and say "Sorry I was wrong. You guys ROCK!"

But how can I criticize a coach/team if I support them with all my heart? That is being a hypocrite. And I'm allowed a view on the team and the makeup thereof. I'm also allowed to point out their faults and make them notice it. But you the diehard fan will be blinded by your outright backing of the team/coach and never spot the mistakes.

There is a difference
