It is a WC year and as per 2015 the RC comprises of only three rounds - ie each of the four teams play only one match against each other.


In 2015 the Meyer Springbok team LOST ALL THREE  RC games and that includes a first loss at home against Argentina since they joined the RC. 


It will not be difficult to beat that disastrous record and I will be interesting to see what happens this year,   My mone is obn a much better performance this year with a much better coached team being available.

Well ... there will just as many unmerited geriatrics in the mix ... with a whole lot more quotas than what Meyer had.

Our captain is also not worthy of the badge being the brain dead moron that he is.

Argentina are an improved side and I believe the Ozzies too.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Goats whitewashed again.

We'll see, however, after the Aussie loss in 2015, the plastics - including you - were raving about the Bok attacking game. It wasn't until the loss to Argentina that the mood soured. If Damian hadn't collapsed in 100% of his defensive duties, the Boks would have won that game. Am open attacking game and the fan flub centres couldn't take hold of the game against New Zealand. A game where the Boks wiped the floor with New Zealand at the breakdown. The the Argie game, where the fan flubs such as Lood, Steph and Damian were comprehensively overpowered. 

If this team is to do better, they better follow the Meyer blueprint. This kicking in every zone is too predictable, and we don't have one reliable kicking 9 in the country. We need quicker developing attacking movement. Heck, he can refer back to 2017 for ideas, as the Coetzee era is an improvement on Rassie's Boks in every attacking statistic! 

I see how desperate you are now. Very frustrated, stamping your heavy planks in a red-faced burst of anguish.

I never raved about a loss by the Springboks - neither do I write false stories about rugby matches,  De Allende made 15 tackles and missed 6 - a damn sight better than Morne did in a string of tests,   You are welcome to call that missing 100% of his defensive duties - as per normal you lied,   I know it is virtually impossible for you to be honest - but have a try,

Following Meyer is like committing suicide,  Meyer was a disaster and his selections incredibly stupid.  Meyer had one game plan - only pass the balls to the flyhalf if he had to kick the ball the ball - for the rest pass the ball back to the forwards and ignore the backline,   Pathetic.

Damian failed to make one dominant tackle - aside from a hit on a hospital pass to an Aussie. He was guilty of being breached four times for clear try scoring opportunities. He was why the Boks lost. What did he do on attack? Nothing. Zero. Yet, in SA he and Kriel were the best centre pairing in world rugby. You were one of them. If Damian was half the defender Morné was we'd be reigning World Champions. Morné was much stronger in the upper body than Damian and had far more heart. A very sound defender throughout his career. In fact, you singled out Pollard for criticism, attempting to deflect attention from Damian. I read the post Pakie linked. You accused him of lying. In the end, the liar was you.

God you are a loser.

The Boks actually lost those games.

Nothing else matters.

What you were really trying to say was - The Boks scored less points than the opposition but still won - what a loser - Look down and feel it - That 2.5 inch thing of yours - is it a vagina?

As I recall that was the game Allende was run over by Kuridrani for the winning try.

Beaten by AAC for a try before half time, beaten by Giteau who put Folau through for a try (miraculously dropped the ball after he was through), beaten by Toomua for a clean run to the line in our 22 (stopped by Lambie of all people), beaten by Kuridrani for the winner. Those were just the gaffs exposing us for a try. He was, to use a Mike term, "played the fool with" by Kuri, Gits, Cooper and AAC all game long. In typical SA fashion, he came away the hero; Meyer gets the blame for the loss.

Well, I hope for their sake, it's not the same "blueprint" they used against the Japanese.

We both know how that turned out, right? It is after all the only notable legacy that Meyer left us.

Throw in all those duds he brought in from the Bulls ... and of course, we should never forget the brilliance of Mohoje and Kirschner.

Remind me again. How many matches did Meyer and his "blueprint" win against the All Blacks?

It's hard to believe that De Allende is still in the mix. He's done so much harm, one would have thought they'd have dumped him ages ago.
What's even scarier is that Esterhuizen is now his possible replacement ... or even worse than that ... Fats Fransie ... and to really finish the backline off properly, lets put Am in on his / their outside.
LMAO.
Wow ... what a center pair. The world's undoubtedly trembling in their boots.

We've heard it all before, enough of the gimmicks, put the runs on the board and win for crying out loud! That's all I care about.

My recollection was that De Allende came from the side after he made another tackle  to try and stop Kuridrani when Jannie was in line to make the tackle and missed the tackle.  Mozart is  notorious laxing with the truth and that AO idiot is a habitual liar.

These two are so unreliable in match descriptions that one ahs to wonder what they evcer write which could be relying on as being the truth.

After all Mozart started the BS on "process tackling" being worthless and whenever one of his favourites make a few tackles in the game that is really worthwhile.   That is the type of BS that is totally misleading and not worth paying attention to.

Your recollection is entirely incorrect. A video was posted on this game, and you were on the back-foot denying video evidence yet again. You were a lonely fellow that day!

So Damian and Goosen laying hands on the upper back of a runner whilst another Bok puts them down is a primary tackle? Or a guy that wraps his arms around their ankle as they fall to ground and provide quick ball? These are not effective first-up tackles. Damian's defence that day was putrid. He alone lost that test, and the media nor the plastics have ever held him into account for that. Cite one thing he did right? He could have made amends after Pienaar's excellent break from a Bok scrum put him away into space. He ran and ran, but failed to pick up Pienaar running a great line on his inside or JP on his outside. Opportunity lost. That could have salvaged the test. No vision. Nothing's changed. In fact, he looks worse in space now than ever, even compared to last year - his best ever season, along with 2017.
