So Wales puts 40 points on the Poms

.....8 more than the Boks in the WC final. As the commentator said the core of the English team still mimics their WC team...and they are hardly formidable. How bad was Daly blowing two tries. Vunipola looks like Stampkar these days, going down in the first tackle. And the myth of May’s pace, which should have been history when he couldn’t gas the NZ blindsider a few years back....was finally exposed by Rees-Dammit er Zammit.

Admittedly though the two French match officials not seeing the Welsh knock on in the second try was hilarious.

Two teams with only counter attack in their arsenal....much like the Boks. 

At least the Springboks now have counter-attack in their arsenal -under Meyer and Coetzee they had zero attack in their arsenal.     

The current English team is at the moment not preforming at the level they where playing at during the 2019 World Cup.

The problem we have here is rugby noobs who think that a poor performance from a team on the day is the measure of that team for the last few seasons.

Wales have ridden their luck in all their games so far but for all their critics, they've got the job done every time and are Triple Crown champions with a decent shot at winnng the Grand Slam.

Cymru am byth!

‘What we have here IS rugby noobs’.....horrible grammar Rooipeepie. Up your game you Welsh cave troll.

It wasn't the RWC final.

Lügnerin, the Josè Boks are regressed from previous Bok iterations. Attack output under Coetzee was markedly higher. Please don't part your tongue anymore. Thanking you in advance. 

Foeitog the Kindergarten moron  is back,   It is amazing - he does not  understand stats and effectiveness of attacks in rugby and why effectiveness in the main result in scoring of TRIES,   Until he understand the game his comments are so stupid one can only laugh at it,.       

Bok centre play died under Erasmus......or rather it regressed.....to old fashioned crash ball, exactly what fans claimed they wanted gone.

Your pet hate Slade carved through the Wallies on Saturday.....37 metres in 7 carries. Redpath against England 31 metres in 5 carries....2 defenders beaten.

Most of these NH centres are looking for breaks, looking to offload,....looking to not die with the ball....like Dud.

If you want to play Erasmus rugby you might as well have a Stampkar equivalent at 12. 

Er Dave, Slade’s defence isn’t being discussed, it’s his ability to break and offload. 

Of  course Dud had no clean breaks against Wales.....he runs into defenders not around them. Fortunately in the case of the Wallies he ran into Biggar who attempted to strip rather than  putting the man down.

Hell  take his performance against Japan....9 runs for 24 metres....4 defenders beaten but 3 turnovers conceded. That with a feast of fabulous ball.

You are the easiest pickings Dave.

Sure Dave that’s why he is playing off the Munster bench in a crucial game and making no impact. Maybe they were afraid Aki was going to take him apart...hahaha.

Van Graan summoned Kevin O’Byrne, Jean Kleyn, Damian de Allende and Joey Carbery from the bench but it was Mike Haley who produced a wonderful virtuoso moment; he caught a high ball, fended off Dave Heffernan, chipped over Tiernan O’Halloran and re-gathered to cross for a try. Carbery added the conversion to make it 17-10.

I drove the final nail through the Damian bandwagon years ago, do keep up Saffy. There is nothing in Damian's body of work that could vaguely infer that he is even test quality at a very basic level, much less a global leader in anything. He is never and will never be good centre. He has never been a good centre. He should be a leader, a veteran that youngsters can lean on; he is instead a liability. Your calls at centre have been embarrassing. Nothing has stuck. Zero. I suppose it doesn't help if one never played centre, but rather prop. 

Well this kind of convinced me he had little impact:

What match are you referring to with those stats?    You try to falsufy the stats of De Akkede in the WC - so one would like to know what happened here,   I watched a lot of games of Munster recently and in the crucial matches he always started.  Against weaker teams he is no in the team or on the bench,  or if on the bench  play  fir very short periods. 

You have made a total fool of yourself on  the CJ Stander issue and in the case of De Allende you show total rugby ignorance based on prejudice.  

By the way dud head did De Allende not score the only try against Wales in the semi after beating three defenders -  on that you are caught out as per normal.    And that happened after Le Roux fouled up two real try-scoring opportunities in the Wales test - and he emphasis is on real and not the one dreamed  up by you in the final.            

‘You try to falsufy the stats of De Akkede in the WC’....Tokkie in an elevator going down. 

Dave you asked me to prove Dud had no real influence on the game....I showed you in 23 minutes he made one run for no metres. Game set and match.

You tried to reduce the distance of ball carries by De Allende by 20 points every imagined by you mistake he made,     That was a large topic of discussion at the time and was discarded as urtter rubbish you dreamt up.    

For the ret you lied continuously about your pet hate players  - so you should take  the heat when exposed.  

Dave 

Forget about saving Mozart from his embarrassing prejudiced BS stories.    He writes false and fake descriptions of incidents that never happened in games and then say they were the truth,     This has been going on for near to a decade  now - so he will not change.

Dave you are bogged down in NH rugby.....crash for a metre, reset.....hope for a penalty, kick to a corner, hope for a mauling try.

Boring......turgid rugby. Rugby you call modern. The kind of rugby Erasmus adopted. But not all SH teams play that rubbish. Read and learn:

‘The four teams in the Rugby Championship provided a game average of 24.7 clean breaks and 50.7 defenders beaten in the 2019 iteration, more than the Six Nations in its respective tournament. Indeed, there were nearly seven more clean breaks per game in The Rugby Championship 2019 than there were in Six Nations 2019 despite there being more carries per game in the northern hemisphere tournament.’

Here is another bit of proof. Offloads.....not one Springbok makes the top 10 list, in spite of playing every round:

OFFLOADS MADE – PLAYER

1 Leone Nakarawa (Fiji) – 12

2 Max Medard (France) – 7

3 AJ MacGinty (USA) – 6

4 Jake Polledri (Italy) – 6

5 Keith Earls (Ireland) – 6

6 Gela Aprasidze (Georgia) – 6

7 Elliot Daly (England) – 6

8 Finn Russell (Scotland) – 6

9 Siale Piutau (Tonga) – 6

10 Virimi Vakatawa (France) – 5

We are playing narrow, dead-head rugby with excellent execution. And in a WC format that works. But it’s not inspiring and it will be eclipsed by others using a full bag of tools.

Boks are still the World Champions though...

Absolutely....Erasmus and Nienaber fixed our defence. I have said for years the Boks would be very hard to beat if we got our defence right.

But to be a great team, a team the world admires....we need to show more. It’s not that hard....the Bargies and the lowly Italians know how to breach a defensive line with offloads. We could too with more imaginative coaching.

"But to be a great team, a team the world admires....we need to show more. It’s not that hard...."

Indeed, I'm hoping for a great Lions tour for the Boks...to be followed by some other internationals...
