Rugby Championship 2016

What's the score

ABs 15 - 10 Boks at half time.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Yep. Think they want to avoid any neck area contact, though.

Wish the ref would clamp down on the Boks tackling players behind the ruck. Happening constantly. Pisses me off.

The ab's cleaning out players 11m behind every ruck ....... and 2 or 3 deep pillars. So *shrug*

 

[faniebraai]

That is not a neck roll.

Yeh, that was a schit call, but was a little high though.

Our downfall so far is our defense. Honestly, there is just no plan. First try Hougaard leaving his man wide open when coming in, no idea what he tried to do there. Second try, well... there just isn't anybody there. Jantjies and De Jongh is really trying hard on defense, but once they make their tackles there isn't anything less. ABs just putting it through the hands in finding space.

On attack its looking a little better. Still too many forwards in the backline. Too much stampkar. It seems we are also trying to much trickery. Just put the ball through the hands and recycle quickly. The gaps will come. That's how the ABs play.

Faf is running too much before passing. He gets caught with ball in hand, or, if he gets it away, there is no space for the backline to work with.

God damn Jessie Kriel is an ugly fukk. It looks like he is permanently pulling a mister bean face with those eye brows.

Whitely and PSdT brilliant so far up front.

Gotta start the 2nd half with freshness, they started looking a bit tired those last 5mins

I would bring Kriel and Marx on. Taking a little bit of strain on our own ball in the scrums.

the sooner the better imo, the way those 2 play, if they got introduced early it might have a good shock effect on the ab's

Elton isn't the general at 10 we were hoping he would be. More of a staff sergeant.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

yeah not in any way happy with him as the Bok 10, way way too many mistakes and meh'ness

 

[Vrotappel]

Get Steyn on please

 

[Agent_Smith]

Sigh, these unforced errors are going to come back to bite us in the ass

 

[greg0205]

Debut for Marx. Use the opportunity well young man.

 

[Solitude]

Langarm!

 

[Vrotappel]

Now he blows for skew throw. ABs been doing it the whole night

 

[FoXtroT]

We are defending like d team school boys

 

[Solitude]

That kick by Elton was crazy poor. You can't just give the All Blacks the ball in space like that.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Marx suffering first game jitters it seems. He needs to settle quickly.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

gifting their back 3 poor ball and mo midfield defense to speak of - our biggest downfall tonight

 

[FoXtroT]

How the hell do we leave a gap that big?

 

[Cray]

Last 20 is not going to be pretty

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

AC's speshul backline paying off well huh
