No I am not talking about the 3 shots at goal Pollard missed. The fact is the pack missed Adendorf (candidate for man of the series) and we had to do with a well understrength backline missing the likes of GOOSEN (Pollard is a steady player but not remotely in Goosen's class), Jordaan, Small Smith and Pat Howard. Given the 61 % possession we enjoyed a full strength backline would surely have ripped these abs apart. We could well have beaten these oaks by 20 to 30 points.
Yet even with these players missing the baby abs were truly stuffed. Add these kids to the many outstanding youngsters emmerging and the fact we now have Meyer and Rassie running things and it is clear the Boks are set to return to the traditional domination of NZ we had before isolation.
Of course this win was based on forward domination and Dawie Theron (who I said after the Ireland test was a sound coach (As is the brainy Venter) obviously undertands this as does Meyer and Rassie. I do hope some oaks now understand that the likes of wee matfield and wee daniels must never again don Bok jerseys. You fight fire with fire not with pop guns.Pick the real forwards not the show ponies oaks lesson 101 in rugby.
Baby bokke we salute you and yes that scrum was priceless!!! Congrats also to the English ref who reffed a good game. where are nz without a bent ref in their corner> Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. We need to get neutral refs in the rugby championship. It would truly spell the end of nz pretensions.
