Two games and everything comes back to bite you - bearing in mind you constant false attacks on players you dislike:-

 

Patrick Lambie

 

After signing endless praise songs about Morne Steyn and denigrating Lambie for sx months - it must have been a bitter pill to have the truth slapping you in the face so hard.

 

Francois Steyn

 

You are still hoping to have anybody but JJ Engelbrecht at 13 - suddenly "Fransie had a decent game" when he in fact did nothing to show that he even was match fit.

 

Labuschagne

 

You must have hated to see him scoring a try for the Cheetahs - but that was immediately followed by your normal lies about this player.  Don't worry - Burger is not ready for selection.   Showed zero today when he came on for 20 minutes.   Definitely not match fit and he has lost some of his strength as well.   Really surprised about the absence of your praise singing about him.

Actually Oom let me help. 

I called at the beginning of the year for Lambie to be the player that really emerged this year. When his form turned sour, I didn't obstinately defend his play....but when he showed some signs of form, I was the first to celebrate that. Totally honest....totally rational.
As for Fransie, again your bit of amateur psychology is amiss. I would never play Fransie at 13. 
And I actually never saw the Lappies try live.....my feed started after that. But I saw him at halftime. I would say he just had to avoid tripping to score....van der Walt did most of the work.as for Schalk, the great man is slowly regaining his strength.

But let me add my own condolences. You were giving the Cheetahs a good chance to win. Not quite as bad as your call that Oz was going to crush the Boks, but hopelessly naive yet again

Schalk is very slow in regaining his strength - for there are very little evidence of that.   He was huffing and puffing the first time after 20 minutes - less so the second time amd a complete non-factor today - missing a crucial tackle before the Lions in fact scored a try.

 

We will see in Super 115 how he is going.   At this stage he really is a non-factor.  He has a very long way to go - but at his age and after his injury and health problems - I do not think he will regain his form he showed in 2011 and earlier.

 Which tackle was that? The one where he tackled the Lions guy on the line and ripped him onto his back?

Mozart

 

Since you never see things you don't want to see I will give you a breakdown.   A Lions player was carrying the ball and Burger missed the tackle on him about 8 meters out.  The next defender tackled the said player.   A breakdown occurred and the Lions recovered the ball - the ball was passed to the  scorer and when he was already over the line Burger came on the scene again and tried to prevent the try by turning him in the process of scoring - obviously unsuccessfully.

 

Never saw the sequence of play - did you?
