This game is hard to watch. Wales look better than us. No excuses.

 

[Fulcrum29]

Embarrassing. What is up with Elton?

 

[cavedog]

Why are we kicking the ball away all the time?

Why are we kicking the ball away all the time?

From what I am seeing is that we are unstructured, so we don't know where the ball must be in play, hence we kick to restructure on pressure, but it isn't working.

The Springboks look desperate and desperate don't win games.

If only they kept him locked up…

 

[capd]

Just get him off.

 

[Heisenborg]

How this cnt jantjies is still playing is beyond me. He wouldn't make my club side. But he runs out for the world champions

Astounding

 

[cavedog]

We are looking so bad...

Ref says use it Faf just hangs around not doing anything and turnover ball.

We are so so so bad.

 

[Vrotappel]

These guys have not played together for quite some time. It shows.

Would have been better for our team to consist more of URC players than foreign based players.

 

[Brawler]

Can Eskom announce load shedding stage 10 and get this game cancelled.
Elton has always been sub par but jissus, he is throwing this game. The rest of the team actually isn't playing too bad.

 

[Vrotappel]

At this point is Libbok, Chris Smith and even (gulp) Bosch better than Janties.

 

[Heisenborg]

Jantjies is solely responsible for us being behind. If he runs out in 2nd half then the coach is solely to blame if we lose

Simple as that

 

[Kola-CT]

For once I am not sure I wanted my inverter to keep the tv going when loadshedding kicked in now.

 

[Drifter]

Jeepers, talk about being rusty. Guys are shamefull. Hulle speel KAK.

He's only good at altitude.


Mile high club altitude.

 

[Heisenborg]

He's only good at altitude

Like when he is high?

Jisis

Like when he is high?

Jisis

He's world class when he is drunk and threatening female air hostesses

 

[Heisenborg]

Thank fk. No nr10

Beyond this game the coaches will need to evolve the springbok gameplan to match the advances made by our top teams in the URC. The game has moved on. This feels like a major step down from what the Stormers and Bulls were putting out there.

I don't beleive the old wisdom that conservative rugby wins world cups is necessary going to be true for us anymore, Teams are studying us, and they will have something to counter what we were doing before. It's why year 3 in the 4 year cycle between world cups is often our worst year because by year three they figure us out.

Simple as that

We have no flyhalf on the bench. Would have to shift WIllemse to 10 to replace Jantjies
