I have read what was said by the Idiot Speakers about the game on Saturday and had another look at the game to see what was going on in their hate-filled top storeys:-
The Kerevi break - Disallowed Try
This was a classic, First of all AO said that Du Toit was to be blamed for scoring of the try by he Aussie number 8. Never a word about the try being disallowed because of a forward pass and the fool did not even refer to that one again. He will obviously change his original posting on the issue - same as he changed his ridiculous rating of Esterhuizen;s performance from 7,5 to 6,5 after an outcry on site.
Kerevi ran a line through the about gap between Du Toit and Elstadt - with Esterhuizen standing around amongst the other forwards about another three meters away. He never was in any defensive line anywhere. In three other cases the same happened with attempted breaks by Kerevi - in one case the tackle was actually made by Etzebeth and in the other two cases by De Jager. One of the three incidents happened while Esterhuizen was yellow-carded.
The Hallet-Petty try
This actual try was scored while Esterhuizen was off the field and was a direct result of Mapimpi charged inwards to make a tackle on Kuridrani leaving Hallett-Penny with no defendant in sight,- so easy blame Elstadt for the try being scored scored.
So who is to blame for the try anyway. Pakie claimed It was the result of a "clumsy tackle" by Du Toit made about 4 minutes before the try was scored. The breakdown ball was recovered and another carry followed and another breakdown followed; At the second breakdown the Springboks was penalized and a corner kick followed. That is where the actual attack started leading to the try. All the result of the despicable Du Toit.
The Springbok tries
Three of the five Springbok tries were scored by players under constant attack by the Idiot Speakers, The De Jager ty was typical, When reference was made to the line break and pace by Du Toit (remember he is according to AO pace- deficient and according to Mozart useless because he has a long neck, thin shoulders and a thin wrists) Mozart came up and claimed that the kick was showing no thinking as the ball could have bounced the wrong way and benefit the Aussies, The ball was fielded by H Jantjies - who nearly scored and the weak upper body De Jager (another statement by the idiots) forced his way over the line and scored. According to them no reference to the scoring of the try - remember according to the Idiot Speakers it did not happen. The attacks on De Jager was all out because he missed two line-outs - one of which was the result of a poor throw-in.
The other try by Reinach was another ignore case, It just did not happen at all - but the attack on Reinach was all out - AO could not contain himself.
There was total silence on the Nkosi try as well. However, the Idiot Speakers in the past did not rate tries at all. Mozart's attitude always was that accurate kicking at goal was more important than scoring of tries - remember his classic that 90% of the requirements of a flyhalf was kicking when he used to defend Morne's poor defnse and non-existent gain-line attacks. Add to that the wonderful flat backline attacks under Meyer invented by AO and the picture is clear - it is a free-for-all mechanism to distort what happens on the field of play - especially if you have pet hatreds against any player.
The classic also was the comments of Jean de Villiers on deficient mid-field defense during the half-time break. Pakie came out and said there was no such a deficiency and in other words either De Villiers is ignorant or distorted the situation. Classic Idiot Speak at its worse.
The Foley Try
Easy - blame other players for the try. I expressed reservations about where Steyn was in the case of the Beale break and my question was rubbished. So where was Steyn? He rushed out of the defensive line and the ball carrier just ran past him, It left a five meter gap in the defensive line through which Beale ran. So who was to blame for that defensive lapse?
Conclusion
One has to be very careful to read what comes out of all three Idiot Speakers - they are twisted in their comments on rugby issues.
