So much for Lood only

Actually, the Boks didn't really apply that much pressure in open play. The All Blacks made most of their errors after they had breached the line. Our line integrity is very weak. I haven't seen the stats, but I can tell you that we missed a lot of tackles. What did Kolisi actually do? There was one hit up in midfield early in the game that was good. What else? As for Lood? Two lineout steals and two good turnovers. What else? He was porous on defence. His lack of mobility was exposed again. He is slow, cumbersome, quite weak in contact, unskilled and passive. Lood was nothing in a performance that was dreadful. The Boks didn't show up, the All Blacks outclassed us across the board with their most error-strewn performance of the last decade. The lengths you are going to in order to defend José are disgraceful, you are no fan Pomski. You are a chief member of the Kult of José. This was the worst overall performance by a Bok side since the 2002 Dunedin test. Only then did the Boks look this impotent, but Butch had a great game, unlike the now mediocre Pollard. 

As per Kwagga, he had simply done what he has been doing all year. He was very physical. In fact, he has bettered the usual production of Steph. Kwagga has been one of the best Boks this season, one of the very few bright spots. He was the best Bok on the day. 

No.

Lood was playing against Barrett, not exactly a fearsome opponent and he had a decent game in the lineouts against that opposition. But he missed the crucial tackle that gave the ABs their try, one of 3 he missed…conceded three penalties and spilled the ball twice.

Kolisi was engaged for about 10 minutes after which he slipped into loafing again. Several times he was right there to make a steal and he bottled out. His numbers were not much different to any of the other loosies…..but the hype was massive.

You say we didn’t have the rub of the green….what nonesense Dave. The Nkosi knock down was a certain try even though technically they couldn’t call it….and the ABs contrived to spill the ball right on the Bok line several times. Apart from the Nkosi accidental try  where we totally had the rub of the green we never looked anywhere near to scoring a try.

You need to lose the blinkers.
