Where have you been?

There's either a plan for the world cup or not. Who's going to fire coach Nienaber? Rassie?

So you are saying that the Freedom cup, Mandela plate, Rugby Championship, End of year tour ect doesn't mean anything as long as you win the world cup?

There were 31 players today on the field playing against the boks...

Why didn't nienaber pick Willie, much better playmaker than Frans.

So is it safe to say those missed points by Pollard cost us dearly? How many kicks did he miss?

That must be why the ticket prices are so low. Even lower than for provincial games which do mean something.

Frans Stein look a bit old and slow. Should probably not be playing at this level anymore.

Do you guys think Rassies next video is going to be a movie or a 5 part mini series.

I think he missed 2.

And Am was very quiet suddenly we look poor. Am has been carrying the whole team.

Steyn looks well just bad. Jantjies came on and with 5min left he decides to kick a pointless kick.

It's back to back losses and I'm getting a feeling that the worst is yet to come.

Eish, bokke were hond khark. Going to send Sam home and do the garden myself.

I'm really sick of this pick the best experienced team thing, pick the guys with the best form like Evan Roos and Wiese. Where was Wiese, rested?

Select the shortest prop in rugby history and the shortest hooker in rugby history to start a game.
Faf playing the game makes it so slow. When you are chasing the game it is frustrating to watch. Hopefully, Cobus Reinach can return after injury to get game time.
Then chasing the game we bring on the backline bomb squad coming on that consist of a prop at wing/fullback position and another guy who has played next to no rugby this year and has more experience getting drunk in airplanes. Of course, you are going to lose.

Half that Bok team required Zimmer frames to just get onto the field...

Just shows what a difference he makes in a game when he doesn't play. Vermeulen is past his best and both Roos and Wiese has surpassed him.

The coach's loyalty to players is really going to hurt us at the world cup

It wasn't that bad. We had significant bad luck, Aus playing a bit dirty and getting away with it.

Buch of really silly small mistakes killing the momentum all the time.

To be fair, I thought Duane had a much better game today. But yeah, still head scratching decisions regarding selections.

Not me. SA Rugby.
