The game is about small margins
What nonsense. Lood hasn't dominated physically in any test since the 2014 Scotland debut. He is a powder puff, and as per Stephanie? We can thank our lucky stars that he wasn't there to be an open highway (that's his trademark). Damian has never at any point in his career been anything more than a wing masquerading as a centre. He has never been a powerback and has never had adequate skills. A total myth founded upon nothing.
What you failed to notice, seeing as your dulled eyes are so incapable of processing anything, is that Australia totally snuffed out our predictable maul because they knew where we were going to apply pressure and manfully applied total power into that and shoved it backwards or stalled it. Pretty simple really. Lood would not have changed that, and neither would Stephanie.
José is not being missed, as he is running the show. This was a typical José effort. The real problem? It was predictably exposed. José would better serve SA rugby by resigning and disappearing into obscurity, so we can forget him like a particularly bad nightmare. This substandard narcissist who feeds on the work of others - Nienaber has been the technician and installer of the frame of the gameplan, don't kid yourself. Only in South Africa could someone get away with this for so long. No accountability.
I bet you paced around your hovel all day, sat up all night, twisting and writhing in frustration. How can we weave a foul narrative to absolve José from blame? How can we protect the Precious? You plastiks are so predictable.
Last week the Bok mauls were unstoppable. This week they were unstartable.
Orie is too weak. When he caught the ball, he could not hold his ground long enough for the bind to start the drive.
Instead he was pushed backward by the Ozzies, causing the maul to splinter before it even started.
A change in approach, but the Wallabies already started coping better with the maul in the first test. The Boks set the maul, they begin to shift pressure to the outside. It usually works, as the opposition allow them to pour through and once they start they don't stop. Not now, as the Wallabies anticipated the pressure and collectively confronted it. Why is this so hard to see? Do we need more diagrams and videos? This is why Saffers never learn, and are so far behind the rest of the world.
A handful of changes isn't what the Goats need.
They need a total clean out ... starting with Kitshoff, Hamburger Nyakanye, Bongi, Lood, Kolisi, Wiese, Orie, Kwagga, Malherbe, Faf, DE Allende, Am. Nkosi, Mapompi, Willie, Koch, Willemse and Vermeulen.
Contracting guys like Morne & Elton to the Goats squad is absurd.
Their attitude sucks ... they are totally leaderless ... have absolute no gameplan.
You say it's only about small margins, Stupid ... ???
Well from where I'm sitting there's a lot more to fix than replacing a player or two.
It's a total fuck up ... from your assistant puppet master right down to the waterboy.
Demographics is at the heart of your troubles.
I never said Orie was more physical, they are about as ineffective as each other. Lood is merely slower in body and thought and with the tackle radius of a jaffa cake. Hands of stone.
Steph is statistically the most porous defender of the past three seasons. A total cream puff. 17th ranked flank.
I'm here for you, Cripple Dave.
Let me know if you need help understanding the game.
I know it can be confusing.
Say hello to your wife for me.
The truth is our rolling maul was fine last week without Dud and we scored a maul try 3 minutes after Lomp left the park.
Try again Dave this story of your’s is nonsense,
"...and our team looked no different..."
The scoreboard looked way different...
PS....still not nearly good enough, but way better than yesterday's pathetic show.
We weren’t playing at home against a bunch of softie NH backs.
Yes, the Aussies showed some brawn.
Yes, because Limp's 5 missed tackles and pap carries from the previous weak would have made all the difference yesterday. #PlastikLogic
Did you even see Mostert's fumbles and fckups?
Mostert never fumbled the ball once according stats guru. What exactly did he do wrong. Yes he missed 3 tackles but at least one of those was on a man running away from him, from behind. He took every lineout….was defensively in the right place almost every time.
Blaming Mostert for this loss is truly a pathetic reflex. We lost this match because our backline couldn’t defend. Collectively our backs made 17 tackles and missed 8. They made only 68% of their tackles.
He fcked up a backline move with butter fingers and gave away atleast 2 penalties on the deck...maybe more. He was poor in contact ...don't be surprized to see him moved to lock and one of the bottervinger twins being promoted to start. I'm not a Mostert basher and I think he's a good player, but he's no starting 7 and yesterday was his poorest match ever...sugarcoating that performance is just dishonest....Ende.
"Mostert never fumbled the ball once according stats guru"
Maybe you should forget about stats guru and actually watch a game without your blinkers.
Okay help me…..give me the time stamps where Mostert fumbled the ball.
One of his penalties...he dropped the pass backwards, tried to recover it but gave away the the penalty by holding on after falling on the ball. If it was one of the Butter Twins, you would have been all over it like white on rice...If you missed it, you didn't really watch né.
Time stamp please.
"Maybe you should forget about stats guru and actually watch a game without your blinkers."
Dangerous game you're playing there!
"Time stamp please."
So you've missed an obvious stuff-up by Mostert and now yoy want me to sit through that kak game again or his fumble didn't happen?
Mostert is vastly superior to both Steph (17th ranked flank) and Limp. Steph is Currie Cup level, Limp is Currie Cup level in 1945. Ende.
Your feet must be swollen with the amount of stamping you've done today. Leave the hissy fit on ice, capish ?
