awesome exchange and run to the line for a Big Man tho, you wont see Matfield doing that.

Bekker has a similar range of skills to Ali Williams, incredible coordination for such large blokes.

Bekker is just very very injury prone…..lets hope he gets past that.

It seems its the hopeless vs the hopefuls it now depends who one rates as the hopeful and the hopeless.

Saracens – hopeless (discarded players from their home unions who saru thought were no good)
Springboks – hopefulls (hoping to be consistent springboks)

Funny though that this was saracens B…which to me means saracens dont rate their players as first choice. How far don the rung are they.

It comes back to has RSA brought the right depth players. I think the coaches have brought the wrong players to groom. Its not looking good.

Forget their “wake-up call” — their phone is obviously broken.

And on they slink, bowed and deflated, to Italy to quiveringly face a supposed “giant” scrum. (Although Paddy o’Brien says it’s illegal and he’s the top ref in the whole IRB, so he’d know.)

I wonder who’ll sing the Nkosi anthem? It won’t be Pavarotti because he’s dead. Will Nick Mallett call in Ras Dumisani as a cunning tactical ploy? Forget the haka — just unnerve the Boks with a truly shocking anthem-singer.

We got a bunch of palooka’s reading the script thinking Kankowski is the answer at the base of the scrum. We still hope against hope if all else fails that M. Steyn will deliver some manner from heaven and bail us out with another hail mary place kicking performance, or Jdv will intercept another pass and score at the other end, or Frans Steyn will land us another 60 m miracle to bail us out the soup. Kak **** bs blinker’s running the show. We got so f.ng lucky against Bil’s and 3N its just not true. Now we have to learn to actually earn our stripes not fluke em.
France caught us perfectly. Said to our big bully brekers ‘come get some your own medicine’ and then they dished it out. Bakkies and Matfield didn’t quite know what hit them the first 10 min they got roughed up like they never been roughed up before.

Bekker was doing better than Bakkies they should have left him on. The man is going to be a colossus watch him Anders Bekker the next Bok lock super star better than both Botha and Matfield. Hargreaves was playing out his skin tonight did some great work in the line out too.

France back row drilled our 3. Schalk is fini he must take a sabbatical . The trio should be brussow, Deysel and Vermeulen with Alberts off bench to cover 4 and 8 like Danie used to do. Then France would have had a game on their hands. Also a fast service scrum half feed is essential in modern game, this slow up in the air kicking fest is passe, time to give it a big fat miss.

Thought Potgeiter was really good, as was Deysel altho he seemed to go quiet in 2ndH.

Boks scrum again horrible.

Boks generally just forgot to attack the game in 2ndH, they have been a 1stH team almost all season.

There were some HUGE hits going in there from both sides of brothers, like watching Tonga play Samoa !

SAREL Pretorius is the man I.m touting not Andre. But I guess you just a wee bit too thick to understand what comprises proper rugby brains. You fools watch Fdp and M. Steyn f.up the back line momentum time and time again, and because we fortunately got some wins under our belt through some immaculate place kicking from penalties conceded by opposition your eyes are closed to the absolute FACTS.

Carry on watching and learning, one day it may dawn on you what the actual object of the exercise on the rugby field is. It is to score TRIES not Penalties, unless you still too young to realise that.

Shouldn’t you watch the game before you start criticizing players? Just asking- use it, don’t use it. We might just get the idea you’re biased.
