Give this one to Lambie to knock over.

I was just about to say that they should given the kicking duties to Lambie. It's his home ground too.

Penallllllllty

 

[BobsLawnService]

That is not something you want to see Pienaar do.

 

[ClintX]

Is this a Heyneke Meyer thing to dribble the ball to the back of the ruck for really slow ball before the box kick? Hougaard was doing it and now Pienaar and they don't usually!

 

[Ekstasis]

come oooooon!!!!

Why does Walsh say "He was trapped" when England don't roll away but when a Bok is very obviously trapped at a ruck, he blows the penalty. Twit.

This is about the only criticism I can find about the Boks in the second half.

When the opposition is giving your forwards this much grief you don't pull these moves.

When we pick up the pace we're hammering them.

 

[MickeyD]

Much better second half.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Sad that the difference is only 5 at the end but a win is a win and that 2nd half the Boks played much better.

 

[orin76]

Not bad for 5 days preparation.

 

[ClintX]

A few points from the match:

Final try made it appear a lot closer than it felt
Strange tactics at the base of the ruck need to be reviewed
(My possible Shark bias here) Lambie did far more at full back when he got the chance, as most suspected before the match
Morne Steyn only kicked 4 out of 7

 

[BobsLawnService]

The first half was not great. I think that bench should start next game.
