Moz's real player ratings

Moz, can't fault your ratings too much, but Snyman was no 8 and Malherbe wasn't useless...Mostert wasnt anything better than a 6.

  Mozart  and his normal BS.  Read what Rugby365 said about the bugger-all Steyn did in the match and the bugger -ups Vermeulen made is enough to bring him down to 4.

He is totally deluded as per normal on the players he hates and he tries to prove to us that the useless were useful.   Idiot Speak at it loudest as expected,   

So lets look at each individual allocation and compare my thoughtful assessment with the dud BS assessment of Mozart:

Jantjies                     8                           7

Steyn                        4                           7

Kriel                         5                           3

So lets look at the major differences beyond 1 point:-

De Allende

His tackles were very strong and effective - totally neutralizing te famous Williams off-loads in tackles and disrupting the flow of the NZ backline.   His carries were better than the AB centers and his replacement Steyn.

Pollard

Did his job well enough and bar one long distance kick at goal - his goal kicking was  top class.  A very good ball recovery in one case and turned an AB attack into advantage for the Springboks

De Klerk

Made 2 serious bugger-ups resulting in possession turnovers,  His kicks were generally too far and presented no problem for the AB's to fil same and counter-attacked

Vermeulen

Was the direct source of 10 of the 16 points scored by the AB's.  Two penalties given away and two knock-ons - one leading to the Goodhue try,   He was the worst of the three SA loosies by some distance,

Smith

Kwagga worked very had and put in a lot of tackles - but was rathe ineffective in whatever else he did.  Two penalties did not help his course.  Am prepared to increase his allocation to 6          

Mostert

He did work - but he did not produce the Tight 5 play expected from a  lock.  His tackles were not strong and he did not really  succeed in being physical enough.   Am prepared to increase his points to 5

Malherbe 

A nutcase at work here,  The scrumming was adequate against the strongest NZ starting props and he was an adequate Tight Head,  Personal Mozart vendetta at work here - utter BS

Kitshoff 

The same BS as per normal from Mozart.  The scrums were solid all the time - and that is enough for a 5,5 agains the Aussie props

Mbonambi

Was adequate as a replacement hooker

Mtawarira

very good scrumming in two scrums against the weaker bench props of the AB's  Good scrumming - but not worth iore than 6 points.

Snyman

Penalty give away and 3 poor ball carries as well as a few (3 tackles) and Mozart went dilly,  The man looked somewhat lost on the field as of he did not know what he was there for.  Nut case assessment by Mozart.

Louw

Made one turnover - no ball carries and he made 1 solitary tackle.   Fo r that he gets a 7 from Mozart - loony bin assessment here.

Steyn

This is ridiculous - Steyn made 5 substandard tackles allowing tackled players to off-load balls and his carries were totally useless.  Rugby 365 gave him a 3 for being on the field and doing next to nothing of value.   They need to find another player to replace this useless one.

Mozart as per normal has a way of rating players on the basis of them being his favourites for years now - irrespective how really useless they are on the field of play,   Reputation selection and rating in the Meyer vein is what Mozart believes in. 

We were OK in the scrums untill the penalty...a formidable AB pack...so not useless...and to give an 8, a player must really stand out...RG had a couple of risky offloads...solid enough, but not 8...and Mosterdt did nothing wrong, but nothing spectacular either...what you call process tackles when PSDT or Lood does it....and giving Fransie 7 confirms the baiting maneuver .

Glad you gave Kolbe the 8 though.

Moz, I'm not really a Malherbe fan, but he did not belly flop today, so an improvement in my book...., but since you are reasonable on other issues, I'll take toothless .

PS, Kitsie was up against Franks and stood up well enough, but I can live with Beast starting too.

We stood firm, but only just, until they got the second shove on us and we got penalized...and replacing the front row fixed that and gave us a bit of dominance. 

Our timeouts were fine too....

PS, Saf, I think Mapimpi was worse than Duane...Duane made a few errors, but some contributions too...Mapimpi did nothing.

Am was toothless too. Couldn't impose himself on defence or attack...Kriel is better.

Vermuelen put in a huge effort. Unless a loosie is seen streaking away making easy yards they don't rate the hard grater.

The tackling stats showed the three loosies leading the tackle count for the Boks. 

It looks to me like Nyakane has overtaken Malherbe. Malherbe not fit enough. Kitshoff work rate outside the scrum and his mobility is excellent. Held his own in the scrum. 

Why oh why has Akkers been ignored. Marx was loafing as was Mpimpi.

The Bok puzzle looks to be in the process of being solved.

Moral victory for Boks. 

I have analyzed Mozart's assessments for what they are worth.  Most of it is utter BS based on favoritism, 

The worst players o n the day were -

Mapimpi, Am, Vermeulen, Steyn, Snyman

Snyman??

Have you no shame?

He's just a threat to Loods starting position.

Willie 5.5 .....done nothing on attack. Made a few aimless up and under that were not contestable, which gave the All Blacks some of their best counter-attacking opportunities. Positional play as last line of defence was solid. 

Kolbe 8........Best SA player. A solid allround game.

Am 4....  This is a problem area because the alternative is Kriel. Neither are satisfactory. 

Allende 4....waisted some of the best-attacking movements. His crash ball is far inferior to Frans Steyn's crash ball. 

Mapimpi 3.... He is not the first choice, with at least 3 wingers ahead of him. He is a good finisher, but in a real test match, he probably does not have the all-round game.

Pollard 5....Average. Is the problem him or Delande?

Faf 7.....Solid, one of the best Bok players

Kitshoff 4.... His season of doing nothing for the Stormers has extended to the Boks

Marx 6.... . Perfection minus a throwing arm

Flab Malherbe 2.....was he on the pitch? It takes ages to condition him, before his next injury. 

Etzebeth 6.....Was physical, and bullied the All Black forwards.

Mostert 7 ......High work rate, a fit mobile player. The new Matfield

Kwagga 6......His skill was not used.

Stephanie 6...... Solid

Vermeulen 5.....his worst test in a long time. 

Beast 7......Improvement from ginger ninja.

Bongi 4..... The All Blacks have our number in the lineouts, and it does not help to have 2 hookers with no throwing arms.

Nyakane 6.....Should probably be starting. 

Snyman 7 - He made himself known.

Louw 8.....Need to find a starting spot for him. 

Jantjies 8....pulled the win out of the air.

Frans Steyn 7...An improvement on Dumblande. 

Jessie 4 - Between AM and Kriel, the only question is which one is worse.

No Mozart - absolute BS again.  The AB's changed their props before the Springboks did after the NZ scrum deteriorated and the first scrum after the change was poor because by then the SA props were tired out.  After that scrum the Springbok props were changed and the AB scrum again came under pressure.

Talking about what he wants to see what about you doing even worse.  You see things that you wished to happen and when it did not you write down that it did    Cloud 9 thinking  

There were two scrums when Kitshoff and Malherbe was pm where the AN scrum, did go backwards and in one case the AB's were penalized for it.   That is conveniently \hidden away by the idiots on site.   There is no way that they do not lie about everything when it comes to their pet hate players.

Duds like Steyn who did bugger-all of real value  get a 7 is just total BS and the same applies to Snyman who\s main contribution was to give away a penalty.   he was lucky not to carded for that effort.   Some refs would have sent him packing for doing  what he did.   But for a relatively low number of tackles - in the case of Steyn poor quality ones as well - and no real ball carries they each get a 7.  Louw made one possession turnover - never carried a ball in the game - made 1 tackle and gave away a penalty and the dishonest Mozart also gave him a 7 

That is farcical and should scare away members from dishonest statements made by dishonorable idiots.       

No Mozart

You again ignored what I said about the AB's changing their props just begore they got their first scrum penalty, and Beast being brought on after that to scrum against the AB second stringers,  And giving an 8 to him for two scrums is BS beyond words.   

You obviously did not comment ion the other three farcical ratngs because they were absoikute Mozart  BS ,
