Seeing tweets that first time Boks lost 4 in a row since 1965. Not true at all. Jakes Boks lost 5 in a row in 2006. Then won the RWC.

 All three matches could have been won with proper reffing. Injuries also have been dertrimental.  The take on th4 Argies match must rank as the most stupid ever although cerudunce windpomps take on bryce lawrence was about as bad!!!

I think that I am one of very few people that think the loss to Arg is not the end of the world! I was completely p!ssed off and offended when we lost on Saturday, but on reflection, the Boks seriously had nothing to play for. On top of that, I do buy into the fact that the Boks had over trained and were probably tired. meyer has made it clear that fitness is a massive priority for the World Cup. So it is logical that this could have been the case. 
We competed very well with Aus at home, and outplayed the AB's in every facet of the game except the scoreboard. I am going to stick my neck out, and say we'll be very competitive at the WC.

 Correct Blue, We got blitzkrieged and panicked a bit, but there were some good stages in the game as well.

 Actually the fatigue factor was not evident. Boks dominated second half. I will post a scoreline adjusted for ref errors where one can see the huge effect  Poite has had.
The tradgedy is that a very good young prop has been cheated out of a fair deal.
Aside from meyer fouling up selections - eg wee matfiled playing, quotas and injuries we could potentially send a RWC winning squad. but hold your fire and lets see what the squad finally loolks like

 Can't wait for your "adjusted" score Hasbeeno!Let me guess; 65-0 to the Boks??In light of your new foolproof scoring system, have the B oks actually ever been beaten??

 To beeno the points for the opposition are just I scales showing the extent the ref was "bent". This would explain why according to wee beeno the boks have never lost. In fact lost is only a word that can be used in describing  the opposition results not the boks. This is a bizarre world in which Beeno is the only inhabitant.

 JW, would Hasbeeno describe this phenomenon as the "evolution" of Bok rugby??
