Springbok vs Kiwi 1 test review

The forwards and defence is what won this game. Both tries come off pressure play. Either from spot tackles or barrage of kicks. 

To me Hendrikse did well, followed the game plan. Pollard and De Allende still one dimensional. 

Am hardly saw the ball, but when he did made a brilliant break and off load. 

Mpimpi lost pace and couldn't beat the defence out wide. Wonder what Fassi would have done and if he would have beaten his opposite number. 

BUT, the ABs were absolutely shite, never seen them play so poorly. 

With the territory and forward dominance we should have put 50 points past them. 

Absolutely no backline play. The attempted wrap around pass from Pollard to Willemse looked like toddlers learning to play rugby.

Or forwards get good smash ups around the corner, but then our back play stuff it up with really flat one or two passes. Running sideways and forcing our wingers out of touch. 

I won't read to much in this game. We need an attack coach or at least Willie to be back on the park. 

I would even put Willie back on the wing. 

Willemse had a blinder on defence and did brilliantly to run Clark down for a try saving tackle. 

But not great game to watch 

Block defence 3/10. Willemse is a dud. Marx won the game. A lucky bounce and a very loose pass was all the blocks had to win the game. Hardly great stuff. The other game was much better as I predicted. 

Great game to watch. I like nothing more than to see wee abs getting hammered.

Dont you get tired of the moaners. Thank goodness we won as it probably quietened down  these closers down a tad! 

For those who understand Bok rugby our forwards are always our strength. Forwards are not as flashy as backs but a real rugby connoisseur appreciates their immense skills. 

I didn't think our attack was too shabby either. 

We showed great skills in many areas.

Yes Willie must play and I would be very tempted to play Willemse at 12 and Willie at 15. Willie is very creative. 

Pollard was very good as was Hendrickse - like the way he gets the ball out quicker. Faf must work on that. 

Another great review:

Ja, verry happy we won Beano. I don't dispute our forward play or how well we did, but go look at Australia and how the use their backs. 

We need to develop that side and try get some decent set plays with the backline instead of having dud Allende mess up our possession 

The entire structure has to change your feckless turkey. You're stuck in the fucking 90s for fuck sake! You morons don't know anything about modern rugby! 

So Blikkies your man agrees Dud Allende probably blew a try scoring chance.

We thrive on ignorance Red Rose. All these teams that know how to play seem to lose to us.

Really? Like who? Ireland has over 70% against you since 2004. Australia own you. We own you. Really think you're better than France? Fucking delusional. What's your record the last year? Fucking sad that's what. When's the last time this team even played a good game? Ignorance, yarpie to the core. That's why your rugby is shit and the team can't beat any team playing good rugby. Not even with ref bias can this team achieve a great seasonal record. Fucking funky world cup to boot. About what? A myth founded on about three games? Get fucking real. Anyway. I don't have to worry. Unlike your shitty weak Blocks we can play and we own you! No fucking chance in the world Cup. But yeah, by all means suck your dicks about life in the substandard rugby chumpionship. Southern hemisphere Rugby is dead and isn't coming back ever again. Good fucking riddance. 

Gosh doomed then….of course there is that pesky number one rating.perhaps an arithmetical error of some kind?

Ja, verry happy we won Beano. I don't dispute our forward play or how well we did, but go look at Australia and how the use their backs. 

Couldn't have said it better myself 'Korn but believe me you're wasting your breath  if you think anyone here knows the smarts about backline play let alone Rassie and his "backline" coach. Must admit Rosie has it right when he says the Boks are stuck in the '60s.

Ja Denny, we probably have a very strong chance next weekend of beating the ABs 2 out of 2. If we do that, it would be amazing.  

Again, really impressed with the defence and forwards. 

But I watched the full game again, so many mistakes from the All Blacks, losing possession in contact, poor passing, player not knowing what they are doing in the backline. Probably our pressure defence. 

Australia  is probably one of the biggest threats to us. We never seem to be able to cope with their backs and somehow their forwards seem to hold their ground. 

Hope we can burry NZ this weekend and then worry about the Aus when we are there

Le Roux's try came from a handling error from the All Blacks defender.

That broke the All Blacks momentum.

Ja well we know that the Ozzies aren't big on the set pieces but I thought they held their own against the Bargies who are big on scrums. Thought the way they worked their way back into the game was impressive considering their captain stepped down just before the game with short notice and that they're a depleted side having lost key players through injuries . I've bought tickets for the Sydney test, not cheap mate, gold ones sell for $165
