The Springboks are still way better than the Chokeas.


Most pathetic sporting team on the planet!

Unbelievably shocking - that team is such a disgrace I feel for the bowlers as they usually do their job - it’s our bats that are piss poor

On a serious note, the bright side for the Boks is defense. Ireland had no real answer to that, and their only try aside from the maul we now know came from an illegal kick through in a ruck that exposed the Boks. The lapses in our defensive structure outside of that incident were few, while we frequently made the Ireland backline look disjointed with their hurried and inaccurate passing.

It was known before the game that IR does not have the game to uplift an encounter involving SA rugby. No team has so far shown enough qualities. FR will send the same report as others next week.

SA rugby looked like nothing. To look like something, a team must take responsibility and commit to a way of playing.

A team must take charge.

SA rugby players focus on one thing: avoid playing rugby and prevent the other team from playing rugby.

SA rugby was pretty bad. They dictated nothing. IR dictated the content of the game, they had control over the game. SA rugby played as IR allowed them to play.

SA rugby never managed to force anything on IR.

IR structured their game on the control of the scoreboard. First opportunity they had, they took a penalty kick. They did not look for the  touch line.

Two parts in the game: IR had not a sufficient lead. IR had a sufficient lead. What SA rugby was allowed to do in each part is different.

In each part, they showed they were inferior in anything.

When IR had a sufficient lead, what SA rugby showed confirms SA rugby do not have the players to assume backline play.
