Three genuine questions,

1) Why do you have such a hatred "boner" for the Springboks?

2) Why do you like trolling Springboks matches and nitpick what you want, have you ever watched the swart kants (All Blacks play) ?

3) Isn't there any online UK rugby forums for you to interact on with uhm... like English supporters which you might enjoy much more ?

PS: Bonus question, or do you secretly love ❤️ 😍 the Springboks but just don't want to admit it ?

Drama queen, christ :ROFL: Kolbe did have a shyte game but you come riding in saying don't say anything .... gay. And likewise, Wilco gave away 2 penalties, negative play and it's to be called out. Kriel, well he's been pisspoor for ages, that's just fact.

People think that players being criticised for a shoddy game is blasphemy when it's just pointing out the obvious :rolleyes:

Wait…. Is this from the guy who ran away from his country but can’t let go of it

I didn't want to say this last week. Going to get flamed, but Sacha seems to look out for Sacha. Maybe not the best team player.

He plays instinctively. If he really was who you guys say he is why would Rassie select him? An individual isn’t one game. If you thought it last week have the balls to say it. Seems very pussy like to say it when he has a less impressive game. Coward

Low intelligence on full display, love it 😂 'Ran away', shame ... how sad. All because I said your crush had a shyte game 😬
 
Not seen so many saffers in one place in years.
Epic gees, really loud, Twickenham pretty much sold out (a third of the top level was closed off though). 70k people I believe.

Also if you have a ****ing problem blame Rassie.

IMHO, Rassie is the best coach we will ever have, he and his coaching/ management team keeps on innovating, keeps on modernising, his truly one of a kind, I wish and pray that they can extend his contract until after the 2031 RWC, so he and his coaching/ management can basically have an opportunity for another two (2) RWC's.

Rassie's approach to players match time is incredible, I believe this is why we've won back to back world cups, because the player's wellbeing is managed not to overplay them.

Before the Rassie era, the substitute bench globally was for players who weren't "good enough" to make the starting lineup, he completely changed that way of thinking with the "Bomb Squad", he gave the reserve players their own identity, their own team, their own squad, it is now actually an honour and privilege to be in on the reserve bench as much as the starting lineup, there's no difference between the two lineups in the Springbok team, no other coaching or rugby team has ever invented something like that, combined with the time management of players gives the Springboks so much depth, which other teams struggle with.

Rassie thinks years ahead not just the next few games, another example of his brilliance is how he managed transformation/ quotas etc all previous coaches and management didn't know how to handle or really maintain it, Rassie's approach was we will go find these players, they do exist, but we as management, SARU, Coaches need to actually put in the effort and work.

You cannot tell me that there's one player who isn't white that doesn't belong there, why ? Because of the effort, planning, grass roots level that was applied and uniqueness it was approached with.

When other coaches, rugby pundits, teams and yes the IRB try to change the rules, or cry and whine you are most certainly doing something right, because you are so innovative they can't keep up, and can't figure you out, so being controversial is great sometimes.

All I'm trying to say is, if the current coaching/ management team leaves we are screwed for the next decade, because no one will be able to just pick up where this current coaching/ management team has left off and be successful at it.


I'm happy to hear your side of the argument?

Could hear the ambience through the microphones the entire match.

Very jealous, hope you had a blast, definitely a memorable moment for springbok rugby. :)

Does South Africa still have race quotas?
 
Bulls looked really good with the few changes from last game.
Wings are excellent.
12 is great.
Kriel had a really good game.

And Willie still got it. He should get a bok call up.
 
Boks won. You can’t win em all, just ask the ABs. World rugby is as close as it’s ever been yet we came out on top. And still you have the likes of Vaal damme and Mike7 whining. It’s more than a habit for some, it’s a way of life.

Says the one that blames the ref every time we lose? Al least some of us look for the real problems and not the ref.

He was also very definitely targeted and shut down by the argies.

They did well considering the shell shock from the previous match. They adapted and got close. Better Argentinian side than we’ve seen in ages.

Bryan Habana gets the same treatment when he’s on the field. You’d be stupid to ignore him.
 
If Sacha had a bad game and his ego got to him believing all the hype, hopefully he will learn from that. And that last weeks game is not the current game. You have to play every game like it is new and not have last weeks game in your mind.

Hopefully Rassie will hammer this into Sacha, because he really is our best flyhalf now and for the future. Just hope he doesn't get carried a way with the media hype.
