Jantjies loses his bottle

A strike on the post and then three straight misses when the game was in the balance...contrast Morne's 10 out of 10.

For the rest Voster was pretty ordinary, one lucky bounce aside. The Mapoe for the Boks move was put in perspective by AC. And Schalk vd Merwe struggled against Kepu which puts his dominance of Marcel in even worse a light for the latter.

And why  Liarmike was heavily punting Potgieter for the Boks is a mystery.

On the positive side those early runs by Kriel were huge. And Faf continues to impress with his guts and energy. The breaks were super but his tackle on Naiyaravoro   was epic...it recalled Joost on Lomu. On the basis of that tackle alone I'd  pick him for the Boks 22. I don't think there is another SA scrummie who pulls that off.

  "I have two wishes, beat the Tahs and Faf to make the Bok team."

From an earlier post of mine....we're on the same page for sure.

As for poor wee Jantjies....he just folded bigtime, say no more.

Thought Kwagga Smith did a great job slotting into the 15 man game and yes Potgieter would be good for the Ozzies but he'd be pretty ordinary with what there is running around locally .

Oh losing the ball at 10 and at 9 is less damaging than losing the ball at 12? Now I see your logic. You didn't choose de Jongh over Voster despite the fact that he gained more than 2 times the yardage, made 6 clean breaks and missed no tackles to Voster's 2 clean breaks, 25% of tackles missed  and  no defender's beaten....because losing the ball at 12 is so much more damaging than at 10. Or perhaps any mistake by de Jongh, even if it was understandable.....has to be magnified way beyond context.

Liarmike you are a master class in bias.

Oh what utter fucking rubbish, Jantjies once again was the best SA 10 by some distance, so much so that I would be inclined to start him ahead of Pollard in the tests. Same can be said of Faf de Klerk at 9.

The odd missed kick for poles does not define a player......his kicking all comp has been great.

Jantjies is on fire and apart from having the best attacking skills of all our 10's right now, his defence is as solid as they come.

Jantjies for Bok 10 NOW is my call.  

Vorster had a great game as did Mapoe who was far better than de Jongh.

Schalk v/d Merwe at 1 had a great game as well, the Lions scrum took that Tahs scrum apart....what game were you watching Moz?  

It wasn't the odd missed kick....it was the three kicks in a row that would have won the game. His body language said it all. 

Moronic my position on de Allende is nothing like your position on de Jongh....it's honest. I think right now he is our most dangerous back ball in hand. But his defence is unreliable....it's not an aggression deficiency like JJ, it's technique. It should be fixable. it's also not clear whether he is best suited to 12 or 13. If Jean was around he would make a fine 13. Without Jean he might have to play 12....but that will be a learning experience at test level in a year that leaves little room for learning.

Your reflex position on Leyds, de Jongh and Kolbe is pure bias.....you make no attempt to understand the obvious value of these players.

Three kicks aside, he had a great game as he has week after week......they did win the game, thanks largely to his efforts.......look no further than that great long pass to Combrink for his try.

Nope you twit you said Morne and Pollard were the only two who threw long passes and you made out that it was all about kicking and being able to throw a long pass.....well Pollard, Jantjies, Goosen and Lambie can all throw a long pass......as Jantjies clearly demonstrated with what was better than any long pass Morne has ever attempted.

Jantjies is 10 times the player useless donkey Morne ever was
