so I wanted to ask all the doomsayers, the wailers and tearful to work on their mental toughness. It is very clear there is a lot to be done.
Moz I do hope you can keep them from falling apart. Thomas, JW and saSUE have been somewhat helpful but more input is needed. They should read Meyer's article on the home page. Anything positive might help.
Fortunately the Boks are by no means folding up but looking for downunder
wins as they should be.
Beeno: ya reprobate!
Not only do you Bok fans want to import your players (from Europe, mars, venus and anywhere else you can get them - Mozart's new approach) but now you want to import your supporters too!
Us kiwis (formerly referred to by someone on this forum as "kiwi bird brains" if I remember rightly) are decent blokes (except for Cloudy who is one hot chick, excuse me Cloudy sorry about that) but we have to draw the line somewhere, lol
I seem to remember last time we were asked to provide moral support to the Boks supporters I only got to make one statement of "support" before you fired me . No, I can't guarantee anything this time around beeno. You can't walk out on your responsibilities. Incidently beeno,have you confirmed with the other bok supporters that they want your support? If so I promise to ask Wardad to see what he can come up with in your absence :)
Brother Bueno while you are away hiding like David in the wilderness we will be praying for your attitude towards the referees.
Especially considering the big problems you have with the 9th commandment.
Exodus 20;16 You should not bear false witness against your neighbour.
I hear there's a place just north of you called New Zealand hill on Slingersfontein farm near Colsberg.
A little slice of NZ where you can reflect on your transgressions and hopefully come back reformed from your devlish ways.
@ Beeno (aka it's the refs fault) :
Cloudy has come to your rescue so we will try & provide a bit of moral "support" :) Quality of support is not assured mind you, You weren't too happy with my last effort, lol
Can't think of the country without thinking of that Canned Heat song with the line "going out to the country where the water tastes like wine" Enjoy!
30 August 2013 - 365 Rugby
Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer says he would not settle for anything less than two out of two victories on their Australasian tour.
While the Boks' victory over Argentina in Mendoza last weekend was anything but convincing, they have now won eight matches on the trot.
"If you open the back door for only one win, you will probably only win one and. I've never coached with the attitude of not winning a game," Meyer said in Johannesburg on Friday.
"I want to win every single game until the World Cup and that needs to be the attitude of the team.
"You go into games to win it and if you don't believe you can win it, there is no use climbing on the airplane."
However, the Springboks face a tough task ahead of next week's Test against Australia in Brisbane.
They have not beaten the Wallabies on Australian soil since 2009, and Brisbane, in particular, has been unkind to the Boks, where they last won a match in 1971.
"Every single win away for me is a great win. We've won four on the trot away from home," Meyer said.
"We got a lot of confidence out of that game (in Mendoza)."
Meyer said the team had learnt a great deal from the tightly-contested matches during the year-end tour to the UK and more recently against Scotland at home.
"Slowly but surely the team is learning and starting to adapt to what I want and how to handle pressure," he said.
"Away games will always be an arm wrestle. You get stuck in, you have to have your set phases at 100 percent.
"You need good defence, to absorb the pressure and you need a 90-percent plus goal-kicker, which cost us last year."
The Bok mentor said history suggested the odds were stacked against them, but he believes his side has shown a defiant character.
"I am happy with the way we are starting to absorb pressure. Now we face our biggest challenge because we haven't won there for quite some time.
"We'd never won at Soccer City and we'd never won in Mendoza, and now we've done that.
"I believe the team is mentally getting stronger, so there is a mental toughness getting into the team," he added.
SAPA
Meyer and his pathteic squad selection and out of touch game plan can dream on
@clevermike: for sure we never count the boks out & the wobbles have not got there game plan, player selection or execution right yet. if boks can impose there style they have a shot @ winning 1 or more of the games against oz. it is like the ali frazier fight - bull against the matador IMO.
Just-Win bro you are being waaay too generous comparing this game to the Greatest Fight Of All Time ! As Ali said " It felt like dying " to paraphrase his comment after the fight !
I am afraid I have to barrack for the Wallies given my missus and kids are Aussies ![ plus I was a digger }
Haahaha canned heat eh ? showing our age there all us who remember them !
This is a step in the right direction.
Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer says he would not settle for anything less than two out of two victories on their Australasian tour.
Excellent, so he made this statement on his own initiative. Was not under duress and was not forced to make such a statement. Therefore if he would not settle for anything less, should we get beat handsomely in both tests will he resign ? What is the outcome of getting absolutely humiliated ? What is the settlement you want to make after this happens ?
Is this once again another blatant lie to the Springbok supporters ?
Rugganut, unfortunately, it is much like the time Clean Cunt told us all that his wife and sister were 2 different ladies but all the while, they were 1 and the same!
Much like the time the same poster told us that he was a 50+ year old challenger for muscle mania/iron man! You get those people in life. Just deluded and bored.
Just_Win ... your posts are becoming a work of art.
Ever think about writting childrens books? You'd make a killing.
Beeno ... make sure you don't wipe your butt with poison ivy ... then again ... feel free to wipe with whatever fauna and flora you come across ...
:o)
Are boks too scratchy as far as fauna goes ?[ reminds me of the old joke about brer Bear shitting in the woods ,he says to brer Rabbit " Do shit stick to your fur Brer Rabbit ? ,"Why no I dont think it do ! " says Brer Rabbit .So Brer Bear wipes his ass with him ! ]
Wardad: good one mate :)
Cleancut: lol, yeah they may appeal to the more child-like members of our forum.
I use emoticons as a way of giving Beeno1 a ribbing and it has become a running joke between him and I. Anything for a laugh while we wait for the next game to arrive. It's one way to break up the more vitrolic posting that always seems to increase between games.
