What happened to being more concerned about attack than defence? And this is the coach that's going to make the Boks backs fire.....just another Currie Cup myth.

Sounds like your celebrating their loss.

 500 odd test caps against 15. The cheaters had no chance, even if they played their first team...starting with second stringers did not help the cause at all.

Some perspective: It was always going to be a tough task for the Cheetahs with so many players injured and on the sidelines, but while the scoreboard may not show it, their second half in particular was a lot more inspiring as the team kept ball in hand and made the home side work a lot harder for possession.

Unfortunately, a few late tries by the home team stretched the scoreline to look closer to a massacre than the tough outing it was.


Draad fancy you calling the Cheetahs cheaters!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am totally shocked!

 What happened to being more concerned about attack than defence?

That is dismissing the opposition.
It is easier to defend against a side (cheetahs) unable of attacking
It is harder to defend against a side (los jaguares) able of attacking

SA teams offensive plans is running to the opposition to hit them. Running to go past the opponent or avoiding them is not included.

When playing against a SA team, two types of tackles must be distinguished: the wall tackle: the player runs at the opposition, the tackle is the result of the tackled player colliding with the tackling player. And another type of  tackle when the tackling player chases down the tackled player.

Because, facing a SA team, the number of tackles grows fast for any player who has the merit of standing on his spot. Sooner or later, he is going to be hit by a SA player driven by the SA attacking plan: pick up the ball, target the closest opposing player, bump into him, rinse, repeat.
Boom, boom, boom.

It seems that the antiquated SA rugby vision has not yet figured out that in a crowded sport like 15 rugby, it is easier to hit an opponent than running past him.

Home games will tell whether SA teams are able of a bit more.

No not celebrating...just pointing out defence is at least as important as attack.

 Agree - but what about your silence on the Farrell issue nd your constant attacks on SA players who miss tackles?

I look inside myself and see my heart is black . I see my red door and must have it painted black . Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts . It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

 You know it was a typing error - so you now accept that your rugby discussion abilities are limited.   What a concession - I would now have to be more considerate and less critical i n dealing with your sub-intelligent rugby comments.
