Rugby Championship 2013

So the ****er ref now decides to make a decision using the replay!
 
Actually agree with this, Pienaar is terrible. Slow, plenty of mistakes, pretty useless.

His ball has been quick when it becomes available. He has made some mistakes, but lack of quick ball hasn't been one of them. The ball has to present itself to him at some point or he has to go in and get it. Against the ABs who go in hard at the breakdown, it's easy to blame the number 9 for slow ball when in fact it's often an issue at the breakdown instead...

Perhaps but he has never been entirely convincing. That little two step pass, telegraphed kicks, occasional single digit IQ decision. We need a better scrummie.
 
Good to see teh stupid HM made a comeback this week ......

Stick with the kicking when it's not working at all
Stick with Ruan when he is playing worse than a 2nd grader
Stick with Steyn when he's having a shocker
Take off Jannie and Beast so the scrum can go backwards at double speed
Let Gurthro and Coenie come on and do jackshyte in the loose

pure win Boks, pure win :rolleyes:

I agree that we need to be breeding a new number 9 but I guess Heyneke doesn't want to experiment during a tournament of the stature...

If Romain Poite & Bryce Lawrence were drowning and you only had time to save one - what type of sandwich would you make?
 
The kicking was a major mistake, you have one of the biggest packs in the world in the rain, yet you kick everything away!
The only try u did score was with the forwards....

You can't play Jannie and the Beast for a full 80 minutes unless you want to risk serious injury to them. And when you say loose, do you mean in loose play on the loose-head side?

The rest I agree with, apart from the kicking bit...
 
We were found wanting in certain positions. The AB is our yardstick, not those poor Aussies. HM needs change his gameplay, surely the current is not working.
