Ah now we know why we lost in Oz

This from Nienaber:

Nienaber added that winning the 2021 Rugby Championship title wasn’t a priority when he took the Springboks job. “The big thing when I got appointed in January 2020, the two big things we were aiming for were the Lions series and the World Cup. All the other tournaments were important but those were the big ones that we have to put our focus on… and we are still building up to where we were in 2019. 

………

The RC, the 100th game against the ABs, our number one ranking…..not a priority. We are building towards the WC. That’s why we see so much tactical experimentation, building skills is more important. 

……

More fodder for Harrassmus groupies.

Bullshit loser attitude.

Stop knocking Nienaber he admitted on OZ TV that his plan worked against the AB's last Saturday so this next game is going to be walk over for the Boks.

Ha ha AJH, who could possibly disagree?

Interesting...

So, the Lions series was the big priority, but we actually played worse throughout that series. Funny. Poor Unteromlett will be spinning in circles trying to angle his way out of this one! 

Org please pipe down. Your unhinged state is becoming grotesque.

As Keo said so wisely, we have our style and the wee abs have their.

The wee abs prefer dainty ballerina type rugby. We prefer more physical rugby. There are different ways to play, different styles. If we play their way we don't do it as well. They cant play our way.

The Boks attack can improve and it will. 

Lets hope Rassie get more directly involved fast. Need him fully on board for gruelling year end tour when our players are exhausted.

Everyone needs o watch the K eo clip, particularly mozzzz and the org who haven't got a clue right now. How bigotry and bias blinds one!

As Keo said so wisely, we have our style and the wee abs have their.

I don't want us to win playing like we do now. Sorry. It's negative, unskilled robot rugby. We're better than this.

This is not our style never has been. We have never totally abandoned backline play for box kicking….under Naas, under Braam,  under Koen,  under Morne….all our kicking flyhalves…. we still moved the ball through the backs.

This is an extreme style, which  basically makes Rugby a roulette wheel. It might actually be the most effective way to play the ABs….giving us a 50/50 chance….as long as we recognize kicking the ball away with 90 seconds to play is stupid

But why limit yourself to a 50/50 roulette wheel when you are playing a desperately poor Lions team and an unsettled Aussie team.

And it all begs the question, do we really want to play the game this way….with no joy, just a grinding process. I can’t enthusiastically support anything so lacking in soul.
