Die Bulle was die sele in hul Semi ook. 2de helfde was baie beter en was gedeeltelik te danke aan meer blbesit en voorentoe dryf.

My ander klagte is how ons skoppers deesdae probeer om te ver te skop. Dan gaan die bal nie uit nie, en skielik is dit opponent se bal. Maar meeste van ons spanne is goed met losmaal rol – so hoekom skop nie 5 meter korter, maar maak seker dit gaan uit, en dan gebruik jou maal om die 5m grond te wen?

But , if I understand what you are saying, its the Boks have become too obsessed with the tackle point and collisions. I sure the view somewhat that it is a shame that the Boks seem to have forgotten how to offload, and create space, or run into space (except for a few players). So it seems to a viewer that all they do is crash and bash. Then we get counter-rucked or turned over and the whole thing seems very static and non-dynamic.
Although we must bear in mind, it is Test rugby and you need to be more patient etc.

we couldn’t FORCE our gameplan on england in PE and we looked devoid of ideas, that was a frustrating game to watch.

boks can’t play like the stormers man, we have to be dynamic!

@Transformation-18:
why say ireland? why not say oz or enland?
anyway, the point is forcing our game plan on the opposition and not varying when they show resistance is what has brought us the (recently) limited success we have had.

if we can fix the cheating and refereeing problems additionally, maybe there’s our complete solution right there

while you’re at it, were you happy with rhule’s try tally after the weekend?

“and need i remind you, sa still has a better win record against nz than the rest of the world combined.” we’re predominantly losing though and why should we measure ourselves with the likes of ireland when our rivalry with the kiwis has NO EQUAL?

they’ve been moering us, no lame excuses.

That was at the heart of PDV’s philosophy when he started coaching the Boks.

I believe he was ahead of his time.

rugby is not just about ‘spaces’ either.
