What did that tell us?

It told us that Meyer was a complete fool for leaving Willie out against Wales.......what a player this guy is. Has to be one of the first names on the team sheet these days.

JP had a far better test this week, looked like the JP we know.

Fourie was awol for most the match and was clumsy when he did contribute.......has the body of an old man these days.

Jean and Habana had quiet games

Lambie was solid and du Preez better than he has been in the last few weeks.

Steenkamp certainly did not prove he was better than any of the youngsters that should be playing ahead of him. Our scrum improved when Beast replaced him.

Strauss was his usual good self and Malherbe was solid until his injury.

Bakkies looked all of 34, the pace of test rugby is a step too far

Flip gets better and better, is now comfortable as a test player

Louw was at best solid, Alberts and Vermeulen were good.

Coetzee had a good game, was very visible and put in many tackles.

Coenie had a good game, was very strong in the scrums in combo with Beast and Bismark

At least we did not stumble past a weak Scottish team this time round

The Joost v/d Westhuizen interview brought tears to my eyes - poor man

I am more or less in agreement with you though I think that under the circumstances Lambie really had a good game - no defensive lapses.   I still prefer him to the average Morne Steyn.

I thought Bakkies and Fourie were pathetic.   They are just not up to standard and as you said the pace if the game is just too fast for them.   May e good club players - but not international material anymore.     

Steenkamp side of the scrum was iffy at best.   Time for him to be replaced.

Just wonder when some of the great Bakkies and Fourie supporters will show their faces.   Bet they are going to say Botha and Fourie had under the circumstances good games.   Fourie was bad last week and worst this week.

The Article onm the home page is nuts - Louw had a 6/10 match -  The MOM of th e commentators were deservedly so Willie le Roux.

Handled the ball 8 times - passed three times and carry 5 times making 7 meters in the process - about 1,4 meter per carry  - no asset in attack,   He knocked the ball on twice and gave away 2 penalties.   No asset in ball handling.   He made 8 tackles - but what was not mentioned was that in 3 cases during th game opposition player ran past him without him even attempting a tackle.

If the above is any good then I will eat my hat.   Last week  - but for the off-side try which should never have been - Fourie was putrid.   He was even worse today.

With respect - since when is line out work not important for a lock?   And If it was to blunt the attack by the Scots - how come Botha missed more tackles than he made?  It is not anti-Bull sentiment - it is facts we are dealing with here.

Lambie was much more effective today  than Morne ever was - at least he took all his tackles - not the sieve Morne is in that position.   

Just one question - granted the conditions for scrumming was atrocious - how come Malherbe never collapsed a scrum - while St eenkamp did it constantly?

Those rubbish came from the Supersport site - not so?   Nobody else have ever used it on this site and now suddenly it is the norm here as well.   YOU CANNOT REMEMBER ANYTHING CORRECTLY IN ANY EVENT - NEVER HAVE - NEVER WILL.

As far as you are concerned the abbreviation is TFIAM - figure that one out.  

The_truth

Lambie had a better game on Saturday than the last 15 games of Morne.  Let me point out the real weak ones involving the really crap Morne games

*   The June test against Scotland

*   The Super 15 Sharks game

*   The Super 15 Stormers game

*   The Super 15 Semi-final - major contributor to the loss

*   The Mendoza game against Argentina

*   The Eden  Park Test - could not even kick penalties out of touch

*   The Ellis Park Test - diabolically poor defence and decisionmaking

In all the other games he was average at best - in the games listed he was seriously problematic.   You are indeed welcome to have this one.   Incidentall Morne never provide anything to the tries being scored - matter of fact the real spark to the backline was Willie le Roux - when Morne was involved the backline produced next to nothing, he had no impact on the scoring of backline tries and only one try was scored and that is when he made aan inside pas to Vermeulen who scored a try in the Soweto test.

At least Lambie attacked the gain line himself and pass the ball while going forward.  Morne never does that and if he does pass the ball it is from a virtually standing still position.
