2 B dup
1 Coenie Oosthuizen

Subs
CJ, Strauss,Flip,Spies, Hougaard, Ndungane,

Sorry to say but is Percy the bok kicking coach? What is so wrong with Vlok from the blue bulls? Why cant they both help Lambie? One might work on technique the other on the phycological aspects of focus ect ect.If Lambie could kick like MS, he would be the first choice Fly Half. Why is this not being done? Surely MS needs a compitant replacement?

Zane the pain… He must rate along with Earl the Pearl as one of the most over rated quota players of all time. FS > Zane. Coenie, what has be done wrong? How many tries has the man scored this season? That comes down to power, strength and being in the right place at the right time. Now we want to put the blame on Lambie.. I am sure he did not substitute himself..

Then we hear the conditions did not allow for the “expansive game” no **** Sherlock. So why not play it close with the forwards? The mindset needs to be changed.. Had Victor changed the “game plan” on the field when things were goin pear shaped it might have been different, but the guys are being told to kick and chase, how long does it take for them to see it does not work? Has not worked for a while now as well.. Being stupid is not doing the same thing wrong over and over again, being stupid is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result each time.

Krusty who should have rested the old boys on this tour, dragged them along in a bid to win a few games and save face. Would the populace have felt different had this bok team been filled with young up and coming talented players from the start? The like or Lambie, Strauss, Coenie , Mvovo, Jantjies and all the other young soon to be boks? I doubt it. It hurts the boks support more that this is a team filled with experienced boks. 100 + games for the captain alone! He has played more than 50+ games with his lock partner! Juan Smith is also no newbie, the list goes on and on. So why exactly is it that the boks supporters are so hurt? Simple, lack of faith and lack of vision.

Blame the ref . blame the weather , find any host of things you want, the sad fact remains the boks measure themselves against teams like the All Blacks , and the NZ team made the score 49-3. This bok team should never had lost, they are leaderless, clueless and rudderless. The world can see it, we can see it, yet all those in power refuse to change it. the RWC is not far away….

Come on Boys show those pompous poms what we got.

I am expecting a hard game come Saturday. Both teams will be fired up!!

Ek weet nie of dit so gehelp het nie – Pienaar en Kirchner kan nie skop nie.

Hoekom maul julle 15m voorentoe dan kry Pienaar die bal en hy skop dit sonder n doel of noukeurigheid nie?
En die “chasers” draf maar mingepla agter die bal?

Daar is GEEN verskoning vir die SWAK spel nie – van al die spelers en die afrigters.

Die aangee standaard was uiters swak – “pop passes” vir niemand.

Die tackle werk was baie swak.

Die lynstaan werk was baie swak.

Dit was nie net die verkeerde taktiek wat daai wedstryd verloor het nie.

That is a kak team…

I would go with something more like this…

Lwazi Mvovo, Patrick Lambie, Francois Louw, Pierre Spies, Jano Vermaak & John Smit provide cover back home ready to fly out….

As for the tests..the Boks have glaring problems there and it’s as clear as a Christchurch summer morning.

The knee-jerk reaction to replace coaches has always been endemic in South African rugby. It’s a mental weakness and South Africans are still so insular in their thinking.

The political decision to not replace useless coaches is now the new breed of cancer in this country.

To illustrate how tough we are is evident in two RWC’s. The Kiwis like pretty rugby island style with fast big imports while the South Africans grind out wins with their slower hardier men. Horses for courses.

Test rugby is the real McCaw.

Not tired. The players are fit and ready. Excuses about fatigue go back to the conditioning programs of the unions. If they monitor their players correctly then there should be no issue with fatigue. Injuries are however another issue.

The coach is tired..out on his feet..finished..kaput…taken out the back and euthanised.

Professor Noakes has given you guys a “get out of jail free card”..

why not use it like it has been in the past?

You are so right.

One can only imagine how they would feel if they beat the boys from NZ after 3000 attempts.

Of course. I would too.
