It is Boks vs Baabaas...
It is Boks vs Baabaas...
Howzit dudes
Howzit Plum.
Kriel is the skipper?
It is the Pick and Pay Boks... At least it is not the Clicks Boks
Lol the first scrum showing signs of a long night for the Barbies
Sacha charged down early, Fassi just manages to clean up.
...or the Cliques Boks, sponsored by Mike's masjin
Bit of a soulless early backplay by the Boks and they're turned over.
Bokkies looking sharp
Good early carries from BaksteenTwin1 and Lood. Baabaas appear to have difficulty hanging on to the ball, knocking passes and kicks all over the place.
Maul try to Marx.
Easy one for Marx from the maul.
Barbies in for a long night
Another dropped ball Baabaas. What are they doing?
Now Cheslin finishes off a Fassi grubber...
Morné VD Berg playing very well and keeping the tempo hi
Kolbe in off the Fassi grubber. Too easy.
Baabaas win the counter ruck battle. Then Sacha wins a good penalty on the ground.,
DDA does DDA things.
Jirre...how dangerous is Sacha.
That dummy...haha
Sacha with a big dummy, half break, loses it in the tackle though.
Crazy dummy…morê manne
Vincent scores from close a few phases after a maul.
Howzit Moz.
The night gets longer for the Barbies as Vince scores the 3rd try.
The Bok backs really look sharp today.
Hiya Moz
Arendse with a deadly steppie but fumbles the attempted kick ahead. Baabaas knock again and we have a scrum.
What a rugby player Kolbe is…
Arendse so dang slippery and been unlucky twice now so fumble after at the end of nice runs
Good stuff from Arendse again but loses it again.
Conditions probably not so good for an expansive game.
Seriously, how much better is VD Berg than Hendrikse...like it's not even close
Baabas with possession but just ends up closer to their own tryline after all that.
Morne is nippy yes. His box kicks suck though.
DDA cocks io a promising move.
iS Dave watching?
All good things end with DDA.
Second breakdown penalty against Morne.
Stupid by Lomp, but he is engaged
Great pressure mark from VD Berg
Dups off and on comes the Kwagga
Finally a little something something from the Baabaas, but short lived.
The creatine twin was taken out by Lomp.
Lomp the harder headK
Kinda sad that we didn't get a better Barbie side, this is a pretty rag tag bunch despite some people proclaiming them to be All Black B. They've shown nothing of anything.
0-19 at the end of a half that fizzled out a little
Good tackle Sacha dislodges the ball. That's how you defend the 10 channel.
Looking forward to AE coming on.
In the second half
Too many other matches being played…Lions and other tests…down to the retirees. But O Mahoney and Healy are pro’s and preventing a debacle
Boks aren't doing much beyond kicking and mauling. Baabaas powerfully counters the maul and gets the scrum.
Through the Libbok tackle
Fassi drawing 5 Barbie defenders there and allowing Arendse to cut back inside
Some better play Boks and Wessels scores.
And DDA drops a ball with the line in front of him
Esterhuizen at flank. He is easily strong enough to be a forward.
Kriel into a huge gap. You feel they should have done more with that. Still on attack though and then DDA spills it in the tackle.
Could JJ have made that Kriel break?
Dud!
Things a touch boring now as as the Barbies defend their line with their lives
Yeah too much mauling, it's supposed to be an exhibition match. Boks aren't doing anything much exciting. Conditions aren't great but give it a whirl at least.
Now DDA sends a perfectly weighted grubber through for Arendse to finish.
DDA puts the kick through for Arendse. That was a bit better.
Brilliant by Dud…what a schemer.
Magic break from Cheslin eventually gets Lood over for a score.
Our wingers are so deadly
Lomp and Dud….Dave is right!
O’Mahony….what a warrior
Nice hands by the Baabaas and Jaminet slips the Arendse tackle to score.
Great effort by Jaminet and the kick!
Great turnover by Kwagga
Bloody hell Kolbe's step is lethal.
How has Kolbe not won World Player of the Year….but the ball was in touch
There won't ever be another Chessie
Vinnie over again.
Kolbe running over a forward. Man is a machine.
Kolbe should have backed himself there maybe? Iffy pass to Manie.
Baabaas scrum flexing its muscles.
Wessels can’t scrum
Good flanker tackle on the flyhalf Esterhuizen.
Thats the game really.
Decent opener for the Boks.
Barbies dint really get going at all
LOL, Manie's cross kick goes all sorts of wrong.
That kick was intentional by Manie but the ref sees no advantage…what a dunce.
Thanks for the company gents
Yeah not a great game, dry conditions would have been better.
DDA finishes in the corner to end the game.
The perfect ending…brilliant by Dud, what elusiveness, what pace.
Have a nice Saturday night chaps…Dave will unpack all this for us
‘Franco Mostert off the bench, very impressive’
Cheerio Moz.
OK which one of you lot thought it was a good idea to get your mum to crochet the collar of your jerseys?
At least she didn't use pink yarn I guess.
The collars are rather an unwanted distraction, I have to say.
I fell asleep during the match……
I woke up for the match ...
Lood was on fire great to see him back
Kolbe and Arendse are freaks
Jessie, vd Bergh and Fassi were very good
Vincent, Ox, Marx and JL du Preez were good in the forwards
The only real negative was replacement tighthead Fouche who got his arse kicked in the scrums and proved he should not be playing at this level
