Are you talking about the last kick where Morne reached up and brilliantly took Vermaak's pass above his head? For heaven sake if that was Lambie the ball would have been out of reach.
I see the bulle loss is being blamed on Morne. Ou maaikie having a brain implosion. Last year it was the Meyer selecting bulle players now its Morne loosing the match by 1 point.
Get real ou maaaikie Morne had a good game. If the bulle had won as they should have done you would not be talking like this. You are venting your frustration and finding a scape goat.
Don't be silly Mike, the pass was high from Vermaak, he took it with one hand, he was outside the 22 under pressure and only just managed to get the kick away, there were 6 phases from that kick to when the Brumbies scored and you're trying to pin it all on Morne?
Morne's not the greatest flyhalf going around, but he sure as hell didn't play as poorly as you're trying to make out...you can no longer be objective on Morne Steyn.
I am still a little dronk and very babelaas. After the weekend's games I read a few threads on here and it is quite clear that there are some good rugby brains on this site and then there are some others.
Funny that us SA guys have to be corrected on many occasions by an "outsider" Poi-e. Mr. Mozart takes some flak from time to time from some of the posters but he really is quite good and mostly devoid of emotion. The Bulls lost, live with it! The Bulls did not lose because of Morne or Hougaard or the kak frontrow or the lightweight locks or this or that.
The Bulls were too stupid to analise the Cheetah game, instead they followed an exact pattern, the one that sank the Cheetahs. Collectively the team with coaching staff should take the blame. More so the senior players who agreed with the "captain" to kick into the corners not once but more and they were countered by a team with superior coaching. The coach took off the only loosie that was making any sense (J. Potgieter).
Bulls mistakes: Firstly the wrong captain. Pathetic first phase play. Incorrect players selected for starting. The starting props were pathetic. Bulls have lost their lineout mojo, big time.
If we can blame Morne for something it is him listening to the "captain" on the day. A flyhalf should take control. Ludeke - need I say more.
The Bulls were beaten by a team who used their oppertunities and were coached by superior coaching staff. The Brumbies had the Bulls down to a T and played on the weak points and blocked the Bulls' rolling maul.
Well done Brumbies and Jake and Fisher....But the Chiefs will win it for a second consecutive year..
Yep Freddie, apart from Oumaaik there's a lot of senses spoken here . Don't blame the captain, em loose forward oaks take a ferocious pounding & miskien was Dewald in 'n dwaal .
I dont get you saffers you guys always shit all over your best players. morne hasnt really done much wrong since he come on the scene in 09. and you ever wonder why the bulls made those decisions? because they knew tghat they were losing the battle on the ground and getting slaughtered at kickoffs. its like the england decision last year not to go for the corner because they knew theyd lose the lineout. the bulls annd england decision heavily criticized but if you put aside the emotion you see that it was not an easy decision to make and with factts at hand in the moment the ones made were the better ones but things dont always work out and its a tribute to just how tough the brumbies were the crack.
