Very interesting…with that gain-line success why are we not scoring more tries ??

Doos being exposed for the ignorant twat he is once again
Poor little Doos
When we win this WC old Doos will leave to site for a year or I’m guessing a name change will be on the cards
Pathetic twat

We did win the last WC.
But cumon, let's be serious...we only really had to beat England.
We'll go down in history as having won it but for me it always felt a little hollow.
If we win this one it'll feel like a true WC win. And I think nobody would disagree.
....but France though.
During Meyer's years I said on here that I would rather our ranking be volatile, up and down, but we do beat the best teams in the world sometimes and lose at other times, rather than sitting at a consistent #2 ranking and accepting that we'll never beat the ABs. That's exactly what Rassie provided, so I'd be a fool to complain about getting what I wanted.
So I'm not negative about the Boks and I don't hate Rassie. Outside of DDA and Kriel I can't complain about selections much either.
But saying all that, I'm still not optimistic, even thought I want to be, about our chances this weekend.
Sucks

Nah Beeno.
My infection stems from having watched AE and Moodie. Having seen how that combination, almost totally new to each other, gelled and played so well together. So dangerous. So skillful. So smart.
Then watching our tried and tested combo in midfield and seeing how stop-start, disjointed and momentum killing it is. The Ireland game was a fiasco in midfield and apart from running over Sexton once, it was its usual uninspired and leaky self.
It feels like a bad relationship where you hope tomorrow will be a better day but it's always a bit worse than the day before.
It's not being negative. It's comparing two things to each other and seeing how one is far better but the coaches pick the option that is safest for their career rather than being brave and picking the one that can beat the best.
