Live Thread: The Dreadful Boks vs some determined dudes in white jerseys

Beware the droppie. Don't lose possession.

Good touch, out of immediate range.

WOW BOKS

2weeks in a row, the Boks have beaten the better team

Boks win but not a great performance .

England loses it. All over. Holy fuck that was a shitshow. I don't think we even deserved to win that.

South Africa played badly in the wet weather. 

Snyman was the only brilliant player. Pollards pole kicking was a life saver

Never in doubt. 

NZ ref almost cost us the match.

Well done Boks!!!

If that kickathon was Rassie's plan, what a disservice to his players. Not allowing them to actually play any rugby in a World Cup semi. Nearly robbed them of a final. Pathetic.

Snyman was patchy. Nobody really stood out. Ox maybe, but even then, some bad calls. Ox is obviously better than Kits - apparently the best loose head of all time .

This win came down to P16. That's been a key contributor to the Erasputin myth. 

If we play like this against the All Blacks, I say go All Blacks. What we saw tonight from the Boks against a side that had absolutely nothing in their arsenal except making as few errors as possible was a disservice to the game. Not even a modicum of effort to do anything constructive.

My nerves are shot. How many times can we ride our luck

Whew!

Well done Bokke!

I feel a bit deflated even though we won because we were just dreadful throughout the game. The only thing we did well was scrum and even that was only after Ox came on.

We'll have to show a huge improvement if we are to have any chance against the All Blacks.

Come on Bokke!

Fixed the heading.

Ou Pakster on his moaning trip once again. We won when not at our best. Take the win and move on.

Me, I am delighted. Making the final is a tremendous achievement. 

You revel in mediocrity Beeno. I don't.

Pakie, make no mistake, England were intelligent in how they approached the game. If we had to go toe to toe with them playing actual rugby, we would be annihilated. England are vastly superior in that way. With a real coach and real selections, it'd be another story.
