Well if NZ is dissatisfied with an 18 point win over Wales, we should be beating this Reduced Irish team by 25 points. But our chaps are a bit mentally befuddled, so I'm saying 10.

You're probably right, but there's nothing like a loss to wake the Boks up.

don't think so,......... the boks' performance was horrendous,........one of the worst I've seen, if not the worst,....... too many aspects need improvement,....... there was no gameplan, loosies were too slow and couldn't protect the ball or regain it at breakdowns, centers didn't participate at all, the most of times WLR ended up closing the rest of the bakline against the line, too many penalties, etc, etc, etc
don't think all this could be fixed in one week,....... IMO the bok are going to lose the second match and in case they show some improvement they could win the last one,...... the most probable scenario is that the boks will face the last match trying to avoid a whitewash
Unlike the AB and aussies who were rusties, lost many balls and made too many mistakes,..... but had a gameplan, had an structure and played and attacked better than their oponents,....... with the training and matches they are going to improve and make less mistakes,....... IMO both will win the rest of their games but I cannot see the boks doing the same,..... the boks are going to struggle to win one of the series

Well, they came back from the Jap loss and came to within a few points of the best yeam on the planet a few weeks later. I don't for one minute believe that all the experienced players in the team suddenly forgot to play rugby.

Wardad, I hope the Boks win! A weakened Bok team is not good for rugby and I much prefer bok fans chest-beating and crowing to whining & whinging.

I tend to agree with ABF, There are just too many things to correct and there need to be a game plan that was totally absent on Saturday. However, there may be wake up from slumber by the senior players in the team and that could help. I really hope Coetze change the absent loosies and select a looisie combination of Vermeulen, Whiteley and Kriel - instead of the slow-motion and useless Louw and the deficient Kolisi as he does not have a clue about ball protection and recovery.
