I am sorry - but any team with Mostert must accept disaster.  Add to that Fourie as well.   i can only say I hope never to see any of the two in the Springbok team.

The Boks played well, but France was marginally better.

Could have brought the bomb squad on sooner, especially Marx who played well as a blood bin replacement in the 1st half.

Boks are at least trying to use their backs on attack. 

When Orrie came on, it was pretty much waving the white flag
Jessica Kriel was poor again, can he pass more than 2 metres?  Can he draw a defender before passing?

Delande made some good passes, albeit pretty stock standard pop passes. He was at least trying to get the ball wide. 

The backline is a bit confusing when Leroux plays at 2nd receiver. It is not clear where Willemse is, or should be. 

Kriel is usually missing when the ball goes wide. France seemed to have allot of numbers outside when the Boks wingers got the ball.

Watching the fat man Harrassmiss  preaching to the players at the half with Nienaber standing by himself tells you everything about what’s going wrong. 


Our guys were hyped to the gills for this game. Dud Toit isn’t my favorite player, but you never see him doing something that dumb. Mostert dropped at least 3 balls today and the man has fly paper hands. The guys were on the edge and they made mental mistakes.


If Harrassmiss wants to coach the team, reassume the the role…. he can’t do any worse we are now 6 wins and 5 losses in 2022.

We didn't see Dupont crying on the sidelines.

The player that failed horribly was Mostert - he was the reason for numerous line-out losses on own throw - he buggered up badly in giving away penalties - he was totally useless in ball-protection and recovery.    

Du Toit made a huge mistake in the way he entered a maul to try and get a turnover - but he was not weak and useless in the game as Mostert was,

Dud Toit was useless when he was on the field…did nothing….zero tackles….2 runs for 7 metres and a red card. Some contribution. Thankfully we won’t see him again on this tour.

PSDT was unlucky...fair call on the red but it wasn't deliberate...Deon Fourie shouldn't have been carded...poor call.

Lol Mostert was terrible? Yes, he gave away the odd penalty but he was worth 2 men on defence, which is always the case. Mike, you b(ia)s is reaching epic levels. If any team containing Mostert is doomed to failure…how was he on that Lions team that rekd everyone? How has he been there for RC and WC trophies? Those don’t sound like failures to me.

If the ref had cancelled the last try then he wouldn't have made it out of the stadium.

Plum I watched the first five minutes of the game and in that time Mostert lost a line out on own throw and gave away a concerted penalty,    Before minute 11 there were another fumbled line-out by Mostert.     I stop counting them and it was clear they could not throw balls to Moster in the case of line-out6s - he was super useless in that phase of the game.   

Mostert make tackles - but the tackles are weak and ineffective and he needs help to make the tackles - in open field tackles he missed them all.

Mike you should have watched the full game and you would be have been proud of the lock who took over from Mostert.

If you folks think Mostert is a poor lock just watch the replacement.

Piss poor and that's being kind.
