Ag shame I didnt know Lew Lew was an All Flats supporter. Is it one of his lame protests again. Let me guess not liking the composition of the Bok team

Shem.....
 
South African mindset is actually totally wrong.

Calling it a good game. With that mindset it means we are okay with losing.

Zero hope for the rugby world cup.
 
50/50 kicking and hope for the best bounce only works 50% of the time, not this time. Simple maths boys.

Most annoying part is we basically lost the game when they were one man down

Yeah that actually tells you how bad we were.

We need to call a spade a spade. Good attack by the boks but the rest was really poor.

It's not about being ok with losing. It's about accepting being second best on the night. If you're beaten by a team that played better, that executed better, then what more can you do?

I'm sorry you have zero hope. Hopefully you find something else to watch during the RWC next year.

@cavedog is like those kids that if they losing a game of soccer at the park they take their ball away and go home so no one else can play.

That is exactly my point. When NZL was losing no one was saying it was good games. People wanted the coaches out. Panels were puking because of the losses.

In ZA we say ahhh damn but it was a good game. It's not right. We need to start calling losses for what they are. Poor performance. No buts

Yeah it's a gamble, and it's so risky nowadays with the way they are dishing out reds for contact. NZ was brilliant fielding those kicks today

The Boks are far from a finished product, but those who were officiating were very inconsistent in their calls with boks getting the short straw more often or not.

Welsh team say Hello.
 
For once our backs actually did a better job than the forwards. Am, Mapimpi played like stars, DA solid as always, Willemse and Le Roux also deserve a big:thumbsup:
Something positive to take out of our loss.

Then we'll agree to disagree. As a Bok supporter, of course I'm disappointed we lost. But as a rugby supporter, it was a great game of back and forth.

To moan about the loss is to also overlook the fantastic positives. The tries scored by Am and Mapimpi were superbly worked. Not to mention coming back from what in the past would have been an insurmountable 15 point deficit.

Yes, there are things to work on but to suddenly say we have no hope at RWC is completely overreacting.
