don't think even one player had a good team.
That's an emphatic statement, and I emphatically agree!
Watched both games this morning and was impressed with the AB's and the Barrett brothers.
The Aussie manager has a habit of spending most of the game watching himself on the BIG SCREEN .
The Springboks are just KAK.
The new flyhalf from the Stormers is yet another "Jantjies fly half" not international standard but just a regular provincial player.
If Pollard is not fit for the WC we stand zero chance of winning the 2023 Web Ellis Rugby World Cup championship.
Prior to the game the Springbok front office rugby guru's all had a shot TV interview and after that all of us Saffas agreed that they are a bunch of pricks.
France is the top contender for the RWC this year as far as I am concerned.
The signs have been there for a while now. I understand people not wanting to accept the reality. Wanting to believe. I was there too, but I've been around the block too many times with the Boks to fall for another false dawn. Just call a spade a spade. I can't recall the last real quality performance from the Boks. Perhaps the first 40 minutes against NZ at home in 2018. It's been a long time.
I honestly think the game is flawed, poor player selection and defence wasn’t that great.
So I would just break it into groups.
Good
Faf, Etzebeth
Above Average
Kittshoff, Vermeulen, Marx
Average
Willie, Kolbe, Libbok, RG
Worst
Orie, PSDT,
We have actually struggled to beat good teams playing good rugby all the way through the Erasputin era. We have had 7 tests salvaged by the ref and Frans post-covid. We ride a very fine line, but teams are getting better, and we are not moving forward.
I bet you that ARG is licking there lips for the home game as they outplayed us in the second half and ended on a high….they Will be even stronger at home.
They might be. They might be thinking ahead to the WC. Argentina have a higher ceiling than their results imply. They are horribly inconsistent, but have much better talent than we do right now. If they play to their ability, they'll rip us apart. We cannot match their firepower. If they play to their ability is the question. They are still due a big performance, and that could very well catch us. I think the humbling would do us good.
The Wallaby performance was actually poor. It was one of the worst quality performances I've seen in the RC.
Of the team who faced Australia, the useless Libbok has to go. Orie needs to go. Thor needs to go. van Staden needs to go. Steph needs to go. Arendse needs to go. Moodie needs to go. Malherbe needs to go. Dweba needs to go. Roos needs to go. Kleyn needs to go.
JW, the Boks are playing badly, look uncoached, and are getting worse.
JW I regret to have to say it but our guys are very immature, get very emotional and then can't think or see straight.
Poor Deus is reveling on trashing the Boks. Such JW is the situation regarding some Bok "supporters".
They off course forget Rassie mixing and match before to sift his players etc.
To them all is doom and gloom. We may as well just stay at home.
JW it's all very embarrassing and I ask you don't tell your kiwis about the unseemly wailing going on here!
Deus and Kingcorny are near hysterical.
Du Toit is a classical point in question. The guy has a fantastic game, plays his heart out for 80 minutes and then has Boneheads who don't understand the game trashing him. As they do every game he plays. Relentless propaganda by these buffoons.
A true supporter has standards.
Beanbag worships Erasputin. That's the problem. The worst coach of all time in Springbok rugby.
Who was it who said the most successful and highly decorated 10 in SA history is 100 times worse than anyone else? Literally the worst in the game? Who was it who was so bitter about Jake that he had to lie to push a narrative that never existed? You even said the 2013 wins were moral losses because they didn't play the way you like. Saddex, you need to take a very long and hard look at yourself.
You give too many easy passes. You have no standards. There's a difference between optimistic and stupid.
Clown pants trying very hard to come off as the Pollyanna of Ruckers! Very amusing indeed!
