Who cares - the Boks won what matters the Bulls are playing club rugby and Jake has mostly been pretty piss poor given the players he has at his disposal
The Bulls under Jake have won fuck all

Yeah and maybe he should look to get RG back as well, without RG we don’t get past England

No we were not we smashed them physically in the second half . No luck involved.
You don’t win the game at minute 50 or 60…….

Bullshit RG had to score the try in the first place and the team had to create the pressure leading to a penalty
Not to mention every other aspect of the entire game

Your case is about as solid as my ice cream. No rugby follower is ignorant enough to believe a game is won by a side of 15 players playing for 80 min and every game at the WC was no different regardless of the number of kicks made or missed, tries scored or missed, tackles made or missed etc, etc……Pollard was part of that whole not the whole himself
Wake up

Moz there is one certainty, you have never played in a meaningful team game in your life.
There is not a single supporter out there, educated or not that is ignorant enough to conclude Pollard won us the WC regardless of whether he made all his kicks or not and the same applies to the opposition kickers.
You clearly don’t get it as a supporter so let’s look at it from a players perspective something you clearly won’t understand given your stance but here is a little bit of education for you.
Do you honestly think that the likes of Kolbe, Kriel, Faf, Malherbe, Eben or PSDT leave the field believing Pollard had just won them the match and that every tackle made, pass made, ruck hit, line out taken etc was of no consequence?
Pollard makes the kick in that final and the team has to defend that lead until the end whistle blew. Pollard like the rest of the team had to defend that lead. The team won the game
Bottom line is, you are not stupid enough to believe Pollard won us the WC, your problem is that you just can’t bring yourself to credit the magnificent Rassie who not only masterminded one WC win but did an unprecedented double, the last of which was the toughest WC route ever travelled
Rassie has made your name absolute mud and it grates you no end

The rest of the Guys like Mostert, Pieter, eben, RG, ox etc. like usual, put there Bodies on the line with the limited Gameplan giving to them….or let’s Say a Gameplan designed only for WC….but it was close, as the Best teams match us in every aspect, besides the Pressure ( Winning) kicks that Pollie aced….but without the rest of our Bok Beasts, those Pressure kicks would not have been there…they need each other, otherwise no Bingo : )

Bullshit no player leaves the field after an epic contest where he has given it his all crediting one individual for that victory especially in rugby
Never has happened never will as those that have played the game know
It’s not golf it’s rugby, the epitome of a team sport, played by a team and won or lost by the team as a whole
