The 2018 Rugby Championship

[Vrotappel]

Was it a quota thing to give Papier and Jantjies a run at the end? Seriously it added nothing to the team.

And also Marx replacement. WTF? Did we want to lose??

 

[Arthur]

Coach lost the game. Poor substitutes.

 

[FoXtroT]

It was that stupid lifting penalty. I mean, Wtf was that?

 

[smkungfu]

Lets be honest. That was a brilliant game of rugby. Wow, we definately back on track.

 

[Pitbull]

And also Marx replacement. WTF? Did we want to lose??

I will never understand that.

He is our one and only turnover specialist....

 

[Sinbad]

Two stupid penalties gave them 14 points.

 

[cavedog]

What a way to throw the game...

I like the guys complimenting the crowd and thanking them for coming to support

Yeah, I don’t think I’ve seen an SA crowd like that for a long time.

Pretty clear, our bench sucks.

 

[SlowInternet]

We had the game and lost it with those subs in last few minutes. It stopped our momentum

This loss is on Rassie. Threw it away with those replacements. I haven't been this angry with a sporting result for some time.

Even the AB fans on the official AB Facebook page are asking wtf Rassie was thinking with the Faf and Malcolm subs. Faf was MotM and Malcolm was a force at the breakdowns.

Guys to be honest there were a couple of soft tries leaked by the guys due to poor handling of kick-offs.
Also, just before halftime we had an opportunity for a dropkick where nothing was happening for 2 minutes before the hafltime hooter.

Boks need to man up and take the loss. For me, I can handle a loss like this due to an incredible effort by the guys.

 

[Badprop_za]

Just to add, are you really telling me you could not see that some of the guys was spent? Can't blame the subs guys. What did they do wrong?

Really bad, bad team management. All those substitutions in the last 15 minutes completely destroyed the continuity. The guys who had played 65 minutes and built up a winning lead were left sitting on the sidelines.

Due to giving it their all. They were starting to fade. Lost some of the zip they had.

I think people are too harsh on the subs.

 

[MirageF1]

I feel for the boy's. To have a game like that snatched from under your noses by shocking decision making at the most crucial part of a match.

NZ management must be smiling....

 

[Enzo Matrix]

That Kolby try wasnt a try.

Where was our fullback last penalty?

 

[Vrotappel]

Pretty clear, our bench sucks.

I would not place this on the bench. Chucked into the deep end in the wrong situation.

 

[L-Dog]

Great game all in all, kind of bitter dweet. To come back in the last 10 minutes all credit to the all blacks. From 65 minutes I could see all our guys were spent, the big difference is the All Blacks fitness and their depth/bench. We still have a lot to celebrate we basically matched the best team in the world over 2 games and we might have an actual
Chance at the world cup next year. Just think how far we have come since loosing by 50 points a couple of years ago. As long as we all believe.
