“Unfortunately we got the yellow card. Argentina exploited that really well. They got outside our defence really well. They scored two tries while Kurt-Lee was off. So I think that was the momentum shift.


“I don’t think the game should have come down to the wire, with one man kicking it over. There were lots of opportunities where we lost the ball in lineouts, giving away penalties in their 22.


The coach also mentioned that the yellow card was a big factor, but it was their discipline that let them down when they had Argentina on the ropes in their own 22-metre area.

It really looks like the Boks can’t multitask. So yesterday we start of with a bang and score good ball in hand tries. It looks like we have the upper hand…

But then the pumas come up with there own ball in hand magic. Our prized world class defence is all of sudden not present anymore.

So it looks like we can either score tries via Backline play, but that comes at the cost of our defence not functioning.

Or we play the slow poison, predominantly forward power game, and our defence and line out structures stay in place.

So it looks like one or the other and the balance of the two styles together, is still alluding us. What do you guys think?

We had 92% possession in the last 10 minutes. Couldn't score.

Here's an example of how our backs didn't function. 2 Minutes to go. We actually have a good opportunity wide here. Am is carrying. I'd have Kriel running the yellow dummy line to keep the defenders from drifting, then pass back to Libbok who can straighten with Arendse rounding his outside and we have a man over with lots of space and pace out wide.


Instead, what does Am do? Breaks inside into three defenders.We did win a penalty at the breakdown, but we know how that panned out.

If Willie Leroux was on the pitch in that last movement, this is where he should have been.
There is a massive gap, and the loop-around pass from Libok would work- or he could have made a shorter pass to Wilie Leroux who would have drawn and passed to exploit the overlap and space

Yes, for all Willie's ills there's still no one in the side who can read a situation like he does.

Just watched the game this morning and good for the Argies for their win.

Nothing that the Boks did was exceptional just another weak performance.

Manie is not a SPRINGBOK FLY-HALF.

Time to make the call from Rassie to drop the "Oldies" and the non-performers and begin the seasoning for the young guns.

I personally thing that the Argies are being viewed as a easy win and given the respect they have earned.
