@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-34: Thank you. I believe 90% of the posters here believe it was not the refs fault to the losses. And if you think you have a huge following with the opposition cheated you guys out of the wins then as we know you are insane

@Hurricane-33: two seperate things really. the ref screwed us as much as the opposition cheated us but if morne had not missed his kicks it would not have mattered because we would have won anyway. so, even though being screwed to lose by you and the refs, morne screwed up further by losing his kicking form. simple really.

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-32: Do you know why the ABs are in the spotlight more.....to you? Cos the one eye can only watch one team. Simple. So why did you post that the refs lost you those games?

@Hurricane-31: yes its true i call the kiwis out a lot more because they are in the spotlight a lot more, thats what happens when you transgress so often. but honeslty, i do call out the failings and faults of our players and coaches too. you only see what you want to see, hurri. the number of times i've blamed morne squarely for losing the last three tests.

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-28: hahaha I for one dont believe a word you have said there. I have not seen one post from you saying Morne lost those games for you. In fact i can bring up alot of posts about those 3 games from you stating the ref cost you guys those games. So i think maybe 1% of your posts may blame Morne to a point, but the Kiwis ( who banned Etzebeth ) and the refs are at fault, is all over keo from you

” The Wallabies have missed 17.3 tackles per Test in 2012, while South Africa have let 17.1 slip. Again, these are stats of struggling teams, as the southern hemisphere average is 16.2 per game.”

so who makes up the SH avg?

is it on a seasonal basis or is it over the last 100 years?

what a bs stat.

@Transformation-24:

easy tiger

@Transformation-25:
to be fair transie, i did not hold back on players like potgieter and greyling, as well hougaard when he played badly at sh.
same for morne, who i blamed for the three losses.

i follow the debra style of blogging journalism, calling playing chops out

without fear or favour

When Smith scored that try there was a major All Black overlap to his right. They were gonna score no matter what.

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-22: you are like heyneke meyer, biased to a fault! you don’t recall the kak made by your favourite players or bulls…against aus msteyn with a 3 on 2 – jdv & habana outside him, decides to IGNORE them and turn BACK into THREE waiting australian players to prize him off the ball…opportunity lost!

against NZ msteyn is deep in the pocket, gets the ball – moerse bok bodies in front of him for him to attempt a drop, steps the defender successfully and the KICKS the ball away with his outside backs waiting in space…

yet heyneke to THIS day still says “there’s nothing wrong with morne’s overall game, it’s just his kicking that is off”

@Dawn-19: no, those two glaring c o c k ups by mvovo were so outrageous it is easy to remember. i prefer the other one when he literally ran away from ben alexander leaving kruger to make a stupid schoolboy type tackle on him.

@Hurricane-2: Hurricane, I 100% agree with you... Aaron Smith's try was not soft. The All Blacks worked hard through many phases to get into a position where someone could spark a try through a bit of individual flair. The Boks defense wasn't good enough in the build up to the try and it wasn't good enough when Aaron Smith took off. If Heyneke thinks that we have let ourselves down only through soft moments, then he is fooling himself.... The Boks defense has been pretty average for the most part of this year. Ironically, it was actually much improved against your boys but still not at the standard it should be at.

HM is just to one sided.. the Team will still have Nik Nak and M Steyn starting. why oh why did we not re appoint Mallet.. let be honest HM has had 7 games won 2 lost 2 and drawn 2…
If Mallet was appointed what do you think his Score would be out of 7… I reckon at least 5…
and possible 7 as We should have beaten both Aus and Kiwis..But then again he could have lost them all. But he would have lost them with blooding new young players, and we would be better off for it.

@Hurricane-13: "soft" can be a lot of things, the lead up to a try eg aussies kick off and mvovo for some crazy fecked up reason is just scared to take the high ball and decides to toe it and it richochets into out in-goal and dom msteyn dots it down - 5 metre scrum aus, 3 phases later TRY time... that is a soft try, their entry into our 5 metre zone was weak!
