Could I have laid this on a plate more clearly. I told you we were going to revert to the law of averages in these one point games and lose one. And I told you Manie Libbok was going to lose us a test. 


Actually if it wasn’t for Ox in the scrum, Eben in the lineout steal on our 5 meter line and the woeful kicking of the Bargie 10 we would have lost this by 15 points.


We should send Brown back to NZ and pay the Bargie attack coach to come over, they completely outplayed us ball in hand.


I’m sure we will win back in the laager with our old warriors, but the team that scrum with us will beat us. Even these planks who coach international rugby must surely realize that by now. Lose Eben and Ox and we are in trouble.


But in any case well done Bargies, it was a famous win.

We just lost an away match against the team which beat the Allblacks in NZ and put a record score over Aus...no doom here...congrats to Argentina.

I just wish Rassie would stop with his fiddling and just select his best team. The world cup is 3 years away. Some players will retire and some will make a name for themselves. 

You don't experiment at this level. Use A games or club games. 

Moerat se gat. Not bok material and not Captain material. 

Then, Marx throwing needs seriously to be fixed. He had a whole year to work on it when he busted his knee. Have to blame Moerat here as he is the main guy. 

Our lone outs were our weakness. 

Pollard looks unfit and gasping for air in the last few games. 

This Tony ball is over played.

Hmmmm so now the oaks you were all for Tony all say this is not the way to go as we lost a match by a point due to an easy penalty being missed. 

The fact of the matter is Rassie will continue to try and improve Bok performances in all departments including attack. 

Poor old Mozzietard thinks he is an acclaimed rugby prophet because he knew Manie's goal kicking was suspect. He also knew at some point we would lose a close game. In his own eyes he is a genius. Bwahahahahahaha. Hilarious stuff from the Mozzietard! 

Draad you nailed it.

The scary part is that our defence collapsed and yes we had no answer when the Pumas got there game together.

They were just the better team. Congrats to the Pumas, they deserved to win. My bet is that Brown does not get free reign.

It’s again maybe a case of clashing ideologies and adding the Back line prowess is not a easy task by the looks of it.

Besides the obvious lack of coaching, Rassies bad player selections is not the way forward.

Let’s hope he wakes up now with players like Moerat, Libbok, Van staden. Even Am and Jessica was loose canons. They look totally confused out there.

How can a team with still a big part of the experienced core there, loose there structures like that?? Well they best figure it out quickly as the Pumas will be determined to beat us at home to.

There has been no progress in our back play since Ireland. In fact we have regressed to where against Argentina we were simply passing from one laterally drifting guy to the next until we reached the touchline. No depth, no one fixing the defence so we can get space outside, just pass pass pass oh shit touchline then either a shitty hurried kick or a breakdown far away from support. No one is saying don't run the ball. But when you run it, have a plan and a purpose to create space for your runners and to outwit the defence.

So all 9ur backline tries just were flukes. 

The wee abs went tryleds agsinst us. 

Pakster scoring backline tries with today's professional defence is no easy matter when you play against top sides. 

As for Argentina their ranking belies their ability.

“ Pakster scoring backline tries with today's professional defence is no easy matter when you play against top sides. "

Yet again you speaking nonsense! Please oh wise Plank, explain to us why the Pumas got it right to carve us up and score those excellent tries ??

They did the same vs the AB and demolished the Wallabies . The Pumas are a excellent coached team and they are on the rise.

They play positive Rugby and are absolutely on the right track. So it is possible to score tries even against the best teams in the world.

Last week I mentioned that the Bargies were playing the most sophisticated attacking game in rugby. Yesterday we saw just how far they are ahead of the Boks in the passing game.

"Yesterday we saw just how far they are ahead of the Boks in the passing game. "

Oh what snot, they beat us by the skin of their teeth...at home...

The passing game Draad. I’m isolating one aspect of the game. We were superior in the scrums and the lineouts. I’m curious why can’t you let go of the emotions and examine things like a sentient being?


What you saw yesterday and in the second Irish test was the mirror image of our wins over France, England and NZ three times. We won 5 and lost 2 of these close matches. Why? Primarily because scrum superiority works in the last 10 minutes if you have a reliable kicker.

But it’s a toss up and not what the world’s best team should accept. If we get 10points behind, do we have the game to pull back a big deficit. Not really. So we will win our fair share of arm wrestles as long as our opponents can’t solve the scumming deficit. But the moment they do that we are in serious trouble.

As yet there is no evidence Brown has achieved anything. My guess is because Rasmus has never understood what he is trying to do and has other objectives eg keeping Am in the team. All of which is no surprise,
