The team looked a little tired against the Poms, not quite getting to the breakdown and losing possession.....making mistakes like Sage being hauled into touch straight after a tap penalty. But then the Speckman hammie.......unlikely we could have won anyway. And now with Speck and Senatla gone is their enough left?
.
For the US Baker is looking faster than anybody in the tournament.....by a mile. Spring that guy and he is gone.

I am glad that at least the Blitz Bokke are giving SA fans something to cheer about .Good luck to them I say .

Mozart
Lets see - six played and in the process 4 won and 2 coming second according to you means they are going down-hill? In the process made 126 points out of a possible 132 gained. Something gone wrong in your bonehead again?

Must agree that the Blitzies looked tired, they only scraped in against the Eagles but throughout the tournament it seemed like they lacked their usual energy.
That said it's worth noting their loss of players, besides injuries(2) to key players they've also lost Senatla and Kwagga Smith. The loss of Senatla is huge.

It would be amazing If all those things don't have an impact. Speckman in particular....but Senatla and Kwagga are huge as well.

I watched in horror as his replacement either got trapped or snagged by his jersey something that would never have happened to Senatla. Speed is a thing of beauty...it sure can't be coached. I wish our 15 man sides had some.

So the doomsday prophets - Mozart and his sidekicks - are at it again.
The top log positions are as follows:-
1 South Africa = 126 points2 England = 103 points3 Fiji = 100 points4 New Zealand = 84 points5 USA = 67 points
Before the Vancouver tournament the difference between SA and the second on the log team (previously Fiji and now England) was 23 points - it still is 23 points.
The main requirement for SA is to remain in the semi's or the finals to win the series.
Sure - Senatla and Smith are big losses - but that is definitely not the calamity Mozart stated.
I think the fans in NZ and even Fiji has more to worry about than SA fans .

Denny when Senatla got back to Newlands against the Jaguares the crowd roared just watching him at full pace chasing a kick....took me back to the old days when all the conversation was whether Jannie Englebrecht was faster than Welsh sprinter Dewi Bebb.

Moz, do me a favour...Ignore the above Creep....he's becoming a slither down my spine.Tx.
Didn't see the game you mention only because it was in the very early hours of the morning and for some reason I missed the replay. I don't think he is as fast as Habana but he's still a pleasure to watch.

The creep is in manic mode, no need to respond to his hissyfits.

I am realistic - Mozart and Denny has hissy-fits and makes predictions based on their standard prejudice.

Mike
Show me a post where I've made a prediction on a "hissy fit"....just one will do.
Now don't duck or dive and pretend you didn't see this post like you always do when confronted to speak the truth.
If you don't respond I'll put it up as a leading post.
