Wayward Boks must kick on
1 Oct 2012
JON CARDINELLI writes of all the opportunities the Springboks have spurned in 2012, the missed goal-kicks have proved most costly. It bodes badly for a close contest with the All Blacks.
There is good reason to feel encouraged and inspired following Saturday’s performance at Loftus. The Springboks were at their fearsome best as far as uncompromising physicality and defence was concerned, and they also added another element to their game. With the introduction of Johan Goosen, they now pose a realistic attacking threat.
I’m not sure what point Heyneke Meyer was trying to make after Saturday’s match when he lamented the missed try-scoring opportunities. The Boks converted five of eight try-scoring chances, and that is a good return in Test rugby, especially in a competition as defensively-oriented as the Rugby Championship.
It was also the first time the Boks had managed to put five tries past top-ranked opposition since they thumped the Wallabies in September 2010. Mission accomplished. Right?
I understand that Meyer wants people to realise that these tries are the product of a game plan that has been in place since the first Test of 2012. What’s changed is that the Boks are starting to execute efficiently.
Meyer is right to say it will be tougher to score tries against the All Blacks, but I cannot understand his lack of concern regarding the goal-kicking.
He has always placed an emphasis on goal-kicking, and that hasn’t changed since he became the Bok coach. It was the reason Morné Steyn was backed for as long as we was, as Meyer believed Steyn had the ability to win matches. If Steyn could come through a bad patch of form, he would be an asset to South Africa once more.
But Steyn has struggled consistently this season, and has left Meyer with no choice but to pick someone else. That someone has proved a revelation, unlocking attacking strengths that most South Africans believed non-existent. But as good as Goosen has been for the Bok attack, the problems in front of goal have continued.
Goosen went into the Pretoria Test with an ankle injury, and this affected his goal-kicking. The responsibility was then passed to Ruan Pienaar, who succeeded with three from seven attempts. In total, the Boks were successful with three from nine attempts. It’s just not good enough.
The Boks aren’t going to score five tries against the world champions. The South Africans are capable of beating the All Blacks, and recently showed in Dunedin that they have the forwards and the defensive structures to match the New Zealanders. With Goosen at 10, they will have a flyhalf who can ask attacking questions, but they won’t run riot as they did in Pretoria.
The simple truth is that these clashes are always close contests. One kick can win the game. The Boks didn’t take their chances in Dunedin, leaving 21 points on the park through wayward goal-kicking. They can’t afford to make the same mistake when they host the All Blacks in Soweto this week. They can’t afford to miss one kick, let alone seven.
The All Blacks arrive in South Africa having already won the Rugby Championship. Will that detract from their motivation, will it make them easier to beat?
They arrived in 2010 for the final game of the then Tri-Nations, and still managed to edge the Boks in front of nearly 100 000 fans at Soccer City. The Boks must take nothing for granted. They must take every opportunity.
Their recent goal-kicking form doesn’t inspire confidence, and Meyer must treat this as a matter of urgency.
Frans Steyn injured the same troublesome ankle in training last week and was forced to miss the Pretoria Test. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was ruled out of the Soweto finale, or at least excused from any kicking duties.
Goosen’s own ankle problem stopped him from kicking last Saturday. Will it be that Pienaar is asked to continue this week? If so, he will need to be far more accurate.
Meyer claims that Pienaar ‘stepped up’ at Loftus Versfeld, but the reality is that Pienaar missed four kicks (10 points), while Goosen missed two (six points). That’s a total of 16 points that went begging. That’s more than the total of the three tries that Meyer lamented.
The Boks have been poor in this department over the course of the competition, converting just 19 of their 37 shots on goal (a record of 51.3%). It’s unsurprising that wayward goal-kicking prevented them from edging Argentina in Mendoza, as well as winning the Test in Dunedin.
Morné Steyn has goaled 13 out of 20 (65%), which is a poor return for a first-rate international kicker. Some of the individual penalties that he’s missed have also been crucial ones.
One more goal in Mendoza and the Boks may have avoided an embarrassing draw. More success in Dunedin (Steyn kicked one out of five on that occasion) and the Boks would have recorded a famous victory.
Had Steyn converted these kicks, we may have seen the Boks still competing for the Rugby Championship crown at this late stage, rather than just playing for pride. But then Steyn is not solely to blame for the Boks’ erratic and unreliable goal-kicking, as the other goal-kickers haven’t been any better.
Frans Steyn is viewed as a freak, even in Test rugby circles, due to ability to convert long-range penalty attempts. But his stats in the 2012 Rugby Championship don’t make for impressive reading (two from six) and bring the overall goal-kicking average down.
Goosen has converted one from four attempts, and Pienaar three from seven. Last Saturday was the first time Pienaar kicked in the Rugby Championship. His two from four return in the first half was enough to keep the scoreboard ticking, but in a closer contest perhaps the kicks he missed would have been scrutinised as bad misses.
What sort of form is Pienaar taking into a tight clash with the All Blacks? Meyer claims that kicking coach Louis Koen will address the problems in the build-up to Saturday’s game, but the stats over the course of this tournament, of all four kickers used, don’t inspire any more confidence in Koen than they do in the kickers themselves.
The All Blacks are the benchmark, and history will show that South Africa rarely beats New Zealand by outscoring them in terms of tries. It has so often been the case that goal-kicking edges these massive match-ups, and in that respect Pienaar, or whomever takes on the responsibility, will have a decisive role to play this coming Saturday.

@katman-271:
I am less worried about the discrimination (because that by itself can only make the group stronger and as you say it is temporary) than I am about actually surviving until the pendulum swings. I can easily bear hardship if I know that our group’s posterity will benefit but people like Sharkspedigree is essentially the same people that are in favour of undermining our core territories in Europe to such an extent that we as a people will disappear. If a group does not have demographic integrity (especially with low birth rate) your are on a slippery slope.

@poppa69-274:
That is your choice once again but it is important to me. Race is part of my identity as an individual. It is my right to value it. It does not make me the reincarnation of Hitler.
You aren’t white so I am not even fussed whether you agree with me. My main gripe is with white liberals who are engaged in a suicidal social game of one-up-manship in who can be the “others” best friend. Individuals do not exist in a vacuum. We exist as part of a group and if that group’s collective action is detrimental to its future it is detrimental to the future of my children.

Meyer gave Janjties and De Jongh 5 mins to prove themselves.
Janjties did well, considering the the limited time.
Meyer does himself no favours with decisions like he made on Saturday..
He’s lucky the result went their way.
Taute is class, but he cant be ahead of De Jongh considering he doesnt play 2nd center for his club.
He usually plays fullback and mean while DeJongh was part of the Bok set up originally.
If the politicians get involved then it’s a case of readdressing Apartheid Wrongs.
I don’t believe this, but Meyer needs to come better than 5 mins for Janjties and DeJongh.
Strange i say….

china lots of people are living in squalor because the infrastructure is insufficient for upgrade.
in a place like diepsloot this is caused by their own people who received a stand and house from gov,they then illegally build extra rooms and toilets in the yard which they rent out.
now you have a case of the services being under strain cause of the extra connections.
lots of the land these people squat upon is zoned agricultural and to rezone to residential takes about 2 years,another way of fast tracking it is by a presidential pardon on the rezoning,it has never happened as far as i am aware of,our prez seem to have more pressing issues that that.

i could only wince and say to someone in ear shot that its ‘quaintly cultural’ i suppose.
i really thought much, much worse.

Of course! They Trekked because they didn’t like the weather. Seriously dude don’t quote government propaganda.
I will grant you the “horrific oppression” was mostly towards the end. But the events and conflict with the British was happening for centuries. From the day the Brits annexed the Cape during the Napoleonic Wars they were butting heads. Even till today a large section of English speaking white South Africans look down on Afrikaans speakers, a hang over from their Empire days. I cannot imagine how much worse it was back in the day.

The baba:
Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act: http://www.info.gov.za/view/DownloadFileAction?id=68031
The thinking before birth:
http://www.empowerdex.co.za/Portals/5/docs/dti%20BEE%20STRATEGY.pdf
CONCLUSION:
let’s consider the number one complaint of white people against BEE: it’s against our Constitutional rights! Ok then, let’s look at the relevant section of the Bill of Rights: http://www.info.gov.za/documents/constitution/1996/96cons2.htm#9
“3. The state may not unfairly discriminate directly or indirectly against anyone on one or more grounds, including race, gender, ***, pregnancy, marital status, ethnic or social origin, colour, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, language and birth.4. No person may unfairly discriminate directly or indirectly against anyone on one or more grounds in terms of subsection (3). National legislation must be enacted to prevent or prohibit unfair discrimination.”
AHA! The worry worts are right. It’s right there in the Constitution. Oh wait, there’s a fifth point:”5. Discrimination on one or more of the grounds listed in subsection (3) is unfair unless it is established that the discrimination is fair.”
Now, fair discrimination is an interesting contradiction, but South Africa is full of contradictions isn’t it? In this specific case, you can see the Government’s reasoning as well. The ANC couldn’t come to power in 1994 and tell the majority of formerly-oppressed South Africans: “Well chaps, now that we’re in power, the fight is over. Yes, you’ve been placed at practically every conceivable disadvantage, but that’s all over now. Good luck and remember to vote again in a few years!”
Ultimately, nobody wants discrimination, or even race. However, these concepts are as South African as braais and biltong thanks to our political heritage, and most often when you dismantle anything you use the same tools that it was constructed with in the first place. It’s a process, it’s going to take time, if anything it hasn’t been moving as quickly as it should (further reading: Second Transition discussion document – http://images.businessday.co.za/ANCMaindisc.pdf), and if you don’t agree with it just because you’re suddenly disadvantaged because of it, think of the millions of black South Africans who are at a far greater structural disadvantage than you’ll ever be in.
Weak argument? Anybody gotta better 1?
1 Oct 2012, 15:59 pm
china, the funny thing about the chinks for me is the fact they’ve had continuos civilisation for more than 3000 years… i mean wtf is up with some of their behaviour?
1 Oct 2012, 16:00 pm
Bakkies two wrongs don’t make a right though, yes that is a terrible part of Chinese behaviour you won’t find the young educated ones doing it but its a problem nevertheless.
1 Oct 2012, 16:01 pm
go and search on the interwebs and see how many miners die in china each year.
it is shocking.
1 Oct 2012, 16:02 pm
Bakkies the word Chink is pretty offensive do you really have to use it?
1 Oct 2012, 16:03 pm
yes that’s my point china,
china has very ugly parts to it as much as it has beauty too.
its the same for south africa and just about anywhere in the world really.
i’m sure the low income non white/maori parts of nz are not the coolest places to go walking for a tourist.

@PielNeus-284:
Actually I all my grand parents are from Europe (Dutch and Irish) so that doesn’t apply to me. However, only liberals idiots and Hitler are concerned with purity. Interesting coincidence?
Race has never been a scientific classification. That is just a spurious argument the libs came up with to derail conversations. It is an ad hoc social organizational term. If someone had a little bit of whatever in him and you can’t tell the difference between him and myself then well… he is white.
I want my kids and their progeny to look like me.
Just because you don’t value own identify do not try and force your views on me.

@STBUR-356: “I can easily bear hardship if I know that our group’s posterity will benefit but people like Sharkspedigree is essentially the same people that are in favour of undermining our core territories in Europe to such an extent that we as a people will disappear.”
Ok Himmler. Firstly, you know absolutely nothing about me (which is fortunate for me, as I have no desire to be contacted by Die fuckingSuidlanders)so I refer you BACK to my previous post 350.
In fact, let me give it you again, as you might have missed it:
@STBUR-281: But you have no idea who my people are. Just because I share a skin colour with someone, does not make him/her MY people.
My people are those who share my ideals, values, fears and hopes – and as hard as this might be for you to believe: my people just happen to be white, black, yellow, brown, pink, beige and off white. Go figure.
I am NO part of your ‘group’ because I happen to have a fuckingwhiteskin.
Now please stop referring to me as ‘the liberal white bi tch who will be responsible for the demise of your people in Europe and beyond….’.
If you want to call me anything, call me a HUMAN, as that is how I identify myself.
1 Oct 2012, 16:06 pm
@STBUR-356: I don’t share you fear for the survival of the Afrikaner. I think we’ll be okay, but maybe I don’t put as much value on this demographic integrity you speak of. As long as individuals have the will to preserve what they deem important, the culture won’t go away.
What does grate me though is when foreigners with a very shallow insight into the situation here, feel compelled to make all sorts of judgmental comments. More often than not, these foreigners are from some former colony themselves. So you’ve got to ask yourself, if you’re sitting in New Zealand or Canada or the USA, and you’re of European decent, and you live in a nice house and hold down a good job, should you not also feel guilty about something? At which point did the oppression of the indigenous peoples cease to be an issue? Just because the numbers were in your favour at some point in your own violent colonisation, you’re in the majority now and have access to the best jobs, real estate, opportunities etc.
Most middle class whites in SA have no interest in politics, nor do they have feelings of superiority over anyone else. They just grapple with the same issues as people anywhere on the planet: finding work, paying off a home, keeping a marriage together, raising children safely, making friends, dealing with the burden of aging parents, coping with sickness, disabilities etc. They’re no different to someone living in Sydney or San Francisco or Sao Paulo.
It would do the critics good to think of this whenever they’re about to trot off some one-size-fits-all, clichéd apartheid rant.

@rangerman-288:
Karl Marx is all about “we are all equal” without regard to borders, race or nationality because his hate was of the rich aristocracy that oppressed the peasants. Liberals want the whole world to be one. Which is a lovely idea but is not based in reality. Groups (including race) do exist and they use those identities to their advantage. Marx writings has heavily influenced and essentially warped the Western liberal ideology that started off being much more libertarian. What happened in the East was merely a more virulent and destructive mutation without the perhaps moderating influence of the libertarians that were focused in Europe.
Essentially there are many parrallels between the communist East and what is happening now in the West. Non-conformity is harshly punished socially and economically. Divergence of thought and opinions that stray to far from the party line is ruthlessly persecuted in the media.
Right here on this blog is a perfect example. I say I want my kids to be white (which is my identity) and prosper, not one single word about hurting anyone, but I am equated to Hitler. Yet none of you say a word about our racist constitution. It would be laughable if it wasn’t so sad.

I also call it as I see it…
Heh the “boring” angle. Another effective tactic of the left in how they have managed to equate your own group with a negative connotation. It goes hand in hand with denying your right/desire to exist.
You are white, my friend, I don’t see how that makes you boring. You can change shirts or religion but you can’t change your race. It is more part of your identity than anything else. That is why the left has specifically targetted race as the aspect of yourself you must give up if you don’t want to be “racist”.
The fact remains the no other racial group in the world considers themselves boring. What type of sad individual does that make you? Only white liberals have decided they are boring, and should rather miscegenate to make live more “exciting”. Wtf dude.
There is no moral imperative or logic basis to your view point. You have arbitrary decided that something which you are not is better. How is it better? You are just scared. Scared of the enormity of the responsibility of valuing, preserving and improving the rich legacy your forefathers gave you.
But ja I agree the Afrikaners do a decent job of preserving their identity but they are under constant pressure to join the ranks of people like yourself where the “other” is more interesting and of greater value.
I also don’t see where I talked about exclusion. The more replies I see the more I can see you people reply out of practiced denialism rife with preconceived notions.
1 Oct 2012, 16:27 pm
@STBUR-390: You say being ‘white’ is your identity? Well, that about sums you up then……
I can list about 250 things that combine to give me an identity before I even get close to my skin colour.
If being white is the only thing that identifies you, I pity you just a teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeny tinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnny bit.
