Springboks vs England 2012 - 3 Test tour

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaHv5xfjw18

Pay close attention to the clock when Morne kicks the conversion.

Morne took the conversion quickly when the camera was focusing on Bismarck fixing his boot, so they showed it after the other replays. See 7:15 on the clock, ref says "time back on" and then he blows for the conversion at 7:18. When they show the kick going over, you don't hear the whistle.
 
When Brian Habana did that dummy run at the line, was that not an obstruction?
 
and JP is apparently useless to some?!? You beauty JP !

No, last week he just did not look for work ala Habana. This week he was brilliant.

His allround game has been good; it's his goalkicking that has let him down.

+1, attacking the line much better and also not bad on defence, BUT if he does not get his kicking boots back on soon I fear that he will not be the prefered flyhalf much longer.

Personally I would have liked to see Grant get a run.

Must say a lot of players had a good game and I must say I was glad to see Spies do so well.

Wonder if Meyer will make a lot of changes for the deadrubber game.

I don't really think he will have much of a choice. I expect at least 2 forced changes. Don't know if he will add anyone extra.
 
Well the Boks have definitely been the better team so far.

My thought on the flyhalf situation...

I've always thought that Morne doesn't really have the decision making ability that a number 10 needs, but his boot normally keeps him at my 1st choice anyway - after the last couple of games he's not been stepping up to the plate. But I dont think Lambie has the experience either, and I personally feel Grant doesn't have the skill level. Its difficult, because there is no one that really stands out for me as flyhalf and its such a critical position. Frans Steyn is also not right because he's much better where he is.

We dont have someone really special like a Carter, or Cooper or Giteau or Larkham. Those players really command the game.

Well F. Steyn is out (marriage), and with Lambie and Kruger being replaced due to injuries....

If Kruger isn't ready I wonder who will call the lineouts.

Give the Goosen some time ..... That is if he isn't injured every other game :(

Yes Frans is out and it looks like Kruger is the most likely not to play - thats my atleast two. Lambie might still be able to play. But if he is out, we definitely need Aplon in my opinion.

15 Aplon 14 JPP 13 Wynand? 12 JDV 11 Habana

I would have rather had JdJ there in 13 but he isn't in the squad.

Who is coming in at 5? Franco? Or do you think they will try to do the whole Eben thing at 5?
 
Nee jissus, never ever suggest Meisie ....... there is always someone better to draft in, always.
 
Nothing official yet from SARU but by the look of things, Joe Pietersen has been called up to the Bok squad for the final Test in PE.

Ja well we need him. Damn - looks like sharkies (lambie) and bulls (kirchner) are without fullbacks going back into S15...

I really hope both are back on duty by then. Damn, lambie's ankle looked fkn sore.

Sure olivier will come in for Steyn but I have no idea who they will bring in for Kruger....

@ Apoc - If it is true it will give Joe a nice "warm up game before the Super Rugby starts again.
 
The English Rugby team visited an orphanage today. "Its so sad seeing their faces with no hope" said Sipho - age 6
 
I see Aplon is going to most likely start at fullback for this game.

Let's hope he lives up to expectations! :)

jeez you okes are very judgemental. aplon should have been in the squad by default. guys like meisiekin and kirchner are chosen above him baffles me. aplon will set the crowd alight with his amazing runs.
