The mystique grows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahhahahahahahahahahahaha you cant keep a great coach down!

It's a superb response under pressure, no argument.

Sure Beeno

We will have to wait a while now for Mozart and co to revise their advance written comments on the match.   They were sure that the team would lose and have in advance identified the players who  should be blamed - Malherbe, Du Toit and De Allende.

Will take some time for them to find players to attack in this case.     

Jirre Mike, grow up. We've won in NZ for the first time in how long and all you can bang on about is Mozart Mozart Mozart.

Rassie is a very smart coach. But there is still some sorting to do re players etc but progress is being made.

Great games by the starting front row. Malherbe really did fine work outside the scrum. Scum was solid.

Du Toit was epic as was Whiteley.

Faf was all heart and Allende (Excellent) and Am were fine as a combo. Dyanti very tricky, great game, and Willie a lot better. Pollard was very sound and goal kicking great.

Dr Moz wi ll be sure to acknowledge i was right about Rassie. Hahahahahahahahahaha

Pakie 

Cannot help it - Mozart and co have done the response to themselves by their constant attacks on Erasmus and certain players.  I have to agree that Erasmus has done neither Meyer and Coetzee could achieve. but they were hammering Erasmus all the time for totally false reasons.    

Beeno

Mozart will never ever admit he was wrong about Erasmus,    

There was no mystique at all.

I think I was fairly right when, to quote:

If you look at it objectively a few more points in SA favour, even 1 point win would have turned the plastic fans that now criticise him into some form of hero magician.

Rassie needs time to build, dismissing him would be disasterous at this stage...I think most of us would agree on that.

The Bokkies are now living in fear of results...if they go out on Saturday, play their very best and enjoy the game there will be less errors and more positive moves...the results will come.

The rest of the team is better...the lock pairing and starting hooker. This is not the end of the beginning, neither is it the beginning of the end...the road is long and experimentation and patience is the only way to build.

Have your usual rants and insults to those who dare to differ and degrading of players by all means as this seems to be the unchanging order of the day but it would make more sense after the game than before...but maybe, just maybe it well might be the right track and be prepared to eat crow.

No, we won't win that's for sure...the AB's are too good and steps ahead but we might still show heaps of improvement against the real standard set by these formidable opponents...thanks Cloudy for giving us some encouragement. We are the handicapped opponent but sheer character and commitment might come through to show up some things that were wrong...I sincerely hope so because what has been happening in the last couple of games shows no light at the end of the tunnel at all. We got to experiment at all costs...fortune belongs to the bold, not those who cannot take calculated risk.

Congrats to the Boks, great result for them. Haven't seen the game yet but will watch it later. Both teams needed a result like this, the Boks needed it desperately! Congrats Beeno, take your meds though mate you wearing out the ! on the keyboard

Agree there is a way to go Seb. But When all are f it the players are there and it looks like we could be on the way back up.

In other news, Argentina just scored a cracker length of the field try to take the lead against the Aussies.

Well done Boks.

Pakie, cut Maaik some slack, he predicted a huge loss for the Bokke...we won, it must be Mozart's fault, regardless of how well we played. Moz will also have a handy excuse for why the Bok's win was kakker than we thought.

Dr Moz got his mystique the wrong way round. Beeno did the fix!
