Another atrocious pitch! Makes the scrum a farcical event. What the hell is going on with European pitches?
+1. I would not let a band play on that pitch never mind a rugby team. Extremely poor conditions.
That being said we really did not take a step back come scrum time against the French. Well done Coenie for your first well played tighthead start.
FFS wtf is Pienaar doing?????
I have given up trying to figure out why he is our supposed no 2 scrummie.
Bismarck got yellow carded for leading with his forearm...
When it happened the commentators also asked why the frog was not sent off with a yellow as it was the same offense Bismarck committed.
Flou get sent off again for having rubbish discipline.
This is a bit worrying, as he has shown a lack of discipline in the last couple of games. In a big game if he gets sent off even for 10 minutes it could be disastrous.
Fair enough. I hope with the recent moves then that this situation changes and he either reveals some BMT or we accept that we're still stuck at 10.
I really hope to see Lambie given a good run come next year (he will be based in SA and MS won't). I also really like the idea of White sticking to Lambie at 10 for the Sharks.
Imo, Lambie has really shown that he can deliver the "steady" no 10 game that SA requires, the only thing still under par imo, is his goal kicking.
And agreed on Jake. As much as he is not my favourite coach, he has the vision to commit to this youngster at an important place of departure.
+1, I do not rate jake as the greatest coach ever but he does know a lot about structures and planning. Also he stuck with Butch James for the WC no 10 spot and Butch was in my eys one of the best SA players in the 2007 WC.
