Ehat a terrible mistake by De Jager

De Jager was stripped of the ball and Mozart wrote a whole thread condemning him in the strongest possible terms for the possession loss.  
They are braodcasting matches of the past between the AB;s and the Springboks over the years.   One of the matches was the Ellis Park test.   This produced the famous line-out at minute 68 and beat Matfield in the air for the ball on Springbok throw - which lead to a try scored by the AB's - putting them in the lead.
The Springboks tried to counter-attack and the ball was passed to Matfield about 5 minutes later in the AB's 22.  He got tackled and the ball was stripped away from him, resulting in the attack been wiped out.  
Never a word was written by Mozart on these two Matfield mishaps - they were ignored but when raised on site - all kind of excuses were forthcoming,   
One of the tests that was shown yesterday was the 2008 away test played in Carisbrooke - where our best lock ever was poor as well.   He spent the ast 10 minutes on the bench after a yellow card - while his teammates were battling to win the test.  Another memorable Matfield test.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

 So the truce is over....it was ever thus. But JW and HasBEEN-OU I don't want to hear about how Pervie's finer feelings have been damaged when I take the ou apart. "'Cry havoc' and let slip the dogs of war"...

 There was a truce?

 JW I also hadnt noticed but there migt have been. Moz was trying a bit?
Mike matfiled is exempt from criticism by his groupies - they have been completely conned and if matfiled played on one leg he would still be a super star to them. These oaks are far gone!
