Less is made of JJ not putting Savea into touch....but it did lead directly to the ABs second try
Much is made of JJ stepping Savea

I have some problems with that try and he real stupidity was when on the strike of halftime Mone Steyn los t it by not kicking for touch from within his own 22,
Where I do agree is that Engelbrecht is not a clever player - he should rather have kicked the ball up field than to try and break the tackle of two defenders and since there was no support by the Springboks at the tackle situation, he was bound to lose the ball in the resultant tackle situation - the try was inevitable.
In essence the try is the result of rank stupidity - initially by Morne and followed up by JJ. At least Naas saw the inadequacy of both when dealing with the issue.
If he did his job in those four cases we could have been 28 points better off.
Look this guy is a wing....he can run in space, not in traffic. He has pace but no instincts. He can't go low in the tackle. It all points to wing.

I also have serious reservations about Engelbrecht as a 13 and has suggested in the past that he should be played on the wing. However, we have no clear cut 13 at present - neither Engelbrecht nor Fourie is the answer.

u forgot JDV, he was the one who passed the ball to jj and was just as much at fault.
morne should have kicked the ball, but JDV was also in a position to clear the ball, instead choosing to pass inside to jj who was cutting into to traffic.
the only mistakes made by jj was thinking the slow Boks would get there in time to help him out when he got in trouble by getting tackled in an isolated situation, and also once he was in trouble, he should have just held onto the ball and given away a penalty.
cant really blame morne and JDV though, i mean what do saffas know about the nous required for an expansive running game???
NZ school kids know that its retarded to run the ball in ur own 22, but then again kiwis are the world leaders when it comes to the attacking game.
old Bok players still have that 10man rugby DNA, its why players like JDV and morne despite their experience make rookie mistakes that NZ kids wouldnt,
I'm definitely starting think that you're a wannabe Kiwi / An Aussie pretending he is a Kiwi on the internet, I can't believe that someone would put so much effort into internet trolling.
"You talk some shit, I've seen plenty of tries scored by Kiwi teams from their own 22."
context shazaaaaa.
when its halftime and ur leading 15-14 against the All Blacks and then halftime is up and ur just waiting for the passage of play to come to an end, the last thing u want to do is run the ball from ur own 22.
JDV and morne have been 10 man rugby Bok players their whole lives, so the obvious course of action which was to kick the ball dead was not so obvious, even though that would have been obvious to any NZ kid.
and its true, plenty of kiwi teams have scored tries from their 22 (bravo on noting that expansive running game of NZ is not trademarked to just the All Blacks, but two points,,,
one those kiwi teams scored the try, so ur point is moot.
and two, how many exactly have u seen from the situation the Boks were in, leading when halftime was all but over???
"I'm definitely starting think that you're a wannabe Kiwi / An Aussie pretending he is a Kiwi on the internet, I can't believe that someone would put so much effort into internet trolling."
a wannabe kiwi??? dosent every rugby loving person on the planet who is not a kiwi want to be a kiwi???
brilliant deduction skills though identifying my OZ roots, i guess ur one of those PDV graduates who believed the excuse of that convicted drug cheat u have in ur avatar, lolz.
but ur wrong about the effort required in trolling, cos all im speaking is the truth, and the truth is something which many of ur kind dont like, if u dont beleive me, go take a look at the Bok exeprince exhibition, some humorus non facts were brought to my attention when oimatey went there with his fam.
but the truth can hurt i guess so maybe i will end this reply with nicholsons infamous line "u cant handle the truth"
very very fitiing IMO,
Convicted drug cheat isn't as bad as a born and bred Kiwi wife beater in Julian Savea.
Crocodile tears or what?
Former Springbok centre Japie Mulder has admitted that over an extended period he indecently assaulted a young girl, and tried to rape her.
Mulder was fined R120 000 or three years in prison in terms of a plea bargain in which he pleaded guilty to charges of indecent assault and soliciting a minor.
Mulder, 37, reached the plea agreement with the prosecutor in the Germiston Regional Court, in a case that has been dragging on since April.
He was charged with eight counts of indecent assault and one of attempted rape.
'Difficult matter'
Mulder did not want to comment on Wednesday.
"I just want to wait until things settle; this is a difficult matter," he said.
Mulder was outside centre in the 1995 Springbok team that took the honours in the Rugby World Cup tournament in South Africa.
He and James Dalton, who has been accused of attempted murder (by his wife), were in the same team, and they were partners in an undertaking that sold cleansing agents.
Mulder's trial, which began in August, had initially been rescheduled for next Monday, but took place on Wednesday.
In terms of the plea agreement Mulder must serve another three years jail-time, suspended for five years, on condition that he is not convicted again of indecent assault.
He must also undergo psychological counselling and a report on his progress must be submitted to the court every six months.
Mulder was arrested at the home of his wife Ronel, in the upmarket Alberton suburb Meyersdal, early on the morning of March 28. He appeared in court the same morning.
The offences were reported at the Brackendowns police station in Alberton in May 2005, Rapport newspaper reported earlier. The complainant, who is in Grade 12 this year, was apparently 14 or 15 years old at the time.
The National Prosecuting Authority decided in January to prosecute Mulder.
Mulder and his wife have been married for five years and they have two children.
Apparently the girl was one of his friends daughters. She was 15 at the time, which of course is one year below the legal age to consent in sex, which is considered rape anyway even if she gives consent- which it is accused that she did not. It is referred to statutory rape when giving consent which is less of a crime but still bad if their is a significant age difference.
Surprising that he was not convicted. Perhaps she did consent and later retracted this or they felt sorry for him. Who got the money for the offense, the court or the family? Still a meagre amount of money for the offence.
Regardless a minor is a minor and he has broken the law and was convicted accordingly.
