SpringBok B-team vs Wales - Live Match Thread

Has shame ever been a feeling in empoverished SA?

People could feel shameful watching this lack of rugby.

Does not seem to be the case in empoverished SA.

Ref biased in favour of SA rugby: keeping on an action to score a try while obvioulsy the whistle was heard is a yellow card worthy infingement.

Done it. Survived this cracker of a first half.

Deserving of a medal or something.

Best team in the world, best rugby players, usual drivel...

Nyakane struggles.

My impresssion of the new players in the team :-

*   Gelant in couter-attack was good - under high balls still somewhat problematic;

^   Fassi made two good relieving kicks

*   Kriel - nothing to report about.

*    Esterhuizen tried but he was still sub-standard as he was in 2018 and 2019.  The same problems persisted ball handling and isolating himself when carry balls - result 2 penalties 

*     Impressed by Hendrikx and Roos 

*     Du Toit - top class as per normal

*     The scrumming was messy and free kicks and penalties 

*      Coetzee nothing much to report

Most of the "new" players has a positive rating - but Esterhuizen and Nyakane were negatives .

Pollard isolated and gets turned over.... splingblock penalty. So it continues! 

Roos is fucking soft. Esterhuizen strong as an ox. 

More shit reffing. If the ball touches the ground its forward no matter what. Bullshit!

Marx impact at the ruck is immediate. The best forward in world rugby

Bomb squad on ... lets hope they can do it.

Fucking monster #20 SA. Elstat?

Good short pass from Ester and carry by Stephie. But breakdown is shit. One sided reffing. 

Fair reffed game and blockers fdont get passed two phases all game long. \A bit bossed on the gainline at times. 

Better by blockers gelant looking fucking amazing. who said he was shyte? wasn't it safesex? hahaha! Still bullshit penalties. 

Justice being served. miss! 

Finally a yellow card for the Welsh. They have played a negative spoiling brand of rugby

Very physically strong side the new Boks. So much good ball….but the backline tactics remain the same. Pollard and Etzebeth making much of the difference.

Blockheads lose ball forward AGAIN and get a penalty. Fuxcking wanker! 

Blockheads are fucking cleaned up in contact and on the deck. Bullshit reffing AGAIN! Unfuckingbelievable. 

Hahahahaha!!!! Fuxcking shyte. 

Wwlshman breaths... penalty. Someone sghooot this cunt in his mouth... inside the the back of his shorts. 

This blocker team cant win without the ref its fucking obvious. 

Agree the ref and the linesman….if the players are that adamant they usually have a case.

Hahahahaah ebenezer thinks he is mccaw

Come on you wallies fuck this shitty team in the ass! 

Dud left for dead by North.

Now Tompkins bumps off Dud….this lock is so clumsy in open field

Justice never prevails it seems. 

How many lineouts have the Wallies botched!

Really rough kick

Lets see the ref here 

Ref to seal bom win. you heard it here. 

So, all the southern hemisphere teams lost today.

Well done wales.

Well done Wales. 1st time Wales has ever won in South Africa. 

Although let's be honest this was preparation for the World Cup. We know we can beat Wales with a less experimental team and combinations.

Some of the selections were silly (e.g. Manchu, Jessie Kriel, Eldstadt, Orrie....)

The silver lining was Hendrikse.  He needs more game time, and he could become first choice for the world cup
