You have to love the bias. You are no better than the rest Biltong. You mention Jannie dropping the scrum. Actually if you look at that scrum you will see he has bent the Irish prop to the point where his head is almost literally touching the deck and going backwards....that move back extends Jannie too far, there is nothing to push against. As the commentators said....it should have been a simple reset.
Then you fail to mention all the scrums we dominated in the half....where Jannie got right shoulder. That's called biased reporting.
Clean up your act, and please change your font, it's hard to read.
Mozart, I know I am going to regret this as you can go on and on about nothing.
I said Jannie scrummed well, I simply summarised the events of the First half there, there was no Bias or prejudice in my summary, as for same as the rest and having to clean up my act.
F.off, I say what my opinion is, if you don't like it, disagree, or alternatively ignore it.
DOn't try and play your personal games with me, I am here to discuss rugby, if you don't want to do it, go play with someone else.
Drop ‘em all…that’s precisely the way I felt and most of us felt…but this is just subjective feelings. Rational and objective thought tells us that this would be disastrous taken to extremes…the Saffa mentality that comes from fans that live in cloud cuckoo land and believe in the fantasy that nothing can be acceptable unless we win…Saffas live in an unrealistic world and are basically far behind the rest of the world in achievements…when we find niches that are commendable like our great independence and an exceptional leader like Mandela we become drunk with over zealous national pride and forget about the rest of the world. SA lives in their own world of propaganda and extreme nonsense and lies. We are self deluding at times despite many good things about us. There are those that like to scream from borders of security in other lands but hypercritally claim fanatical allegiance to politics , sport, human rights and a host of other issues but in reality they are huge hypocrites but there again most , if not all of the world suffer from the same infirmity.
Changes are needed in the key positions of the side but not radical…if this is done we will shoot ourselves in the foot…it’s too late now…we have been running with old stock too long but to start hiring and firing now will send us into a typical panic syndrome…most of you guys don’t remember 1974 when the British Lions won all their games bar one draw…the selectors went into a flat spin after the Boks first loss at Newlands…virtually the whole side was overhauled and the results got worse and worse…the final game at Ellispark ended in a brawl and ended with a draw…something I’m sure the Lions did not take as seriously and probably relaxed a little and took their feet off the pedals.
Definitely, Hougaard must be replaced and maybe a loosy and wing but that’s it…no I agree with most of you that there is too much sentimental old stock but to start radical changes will cause panic and the morale in the side will slide and even be worse.
England is champing at the bit…if they defeat us now the SA public will pressurize the coach to go into a panic attack..
