Worst of all was Harrassmiss putting a team on the park which as flat as unleavened bread.

He needs to stop pissing about
We can’t be wasting Marx and RG on the bench
And your favourite Mostert is a joke - did he play
The guy is soooooo physically ineffective
PSDT was so much better
With Marx, RG and PSDT we gained the physical edge - it lifted the rest of the side
We need to start with our best players - it’s that simple
It's actually a joke that Kolisi captains this side.
Marx should be the guy.
Lood is so far past it at this point .
Malherbe was lucky not to be penalised more.
Moodi is Mapimpi's better in everything he does.
Why we never started wit Libbok after last week's outing is nuts.
DDA had a decent game but made some embarrassing mistakes...AE is better at EVERYTHING.
Mpimpi was never a good winger, fantastic finishers, his catching got better but now it is none existent. Can't tackle for shit.
Most of these guys are past 30, they play in Japan and haven't had a proper match in nearly 3 months, then you rock in New Zealand thinking you will walk the game because you went their early and had a few rounds of golf.
So tired of the quota rotation policy. Just put the bloody best team on the field, bring players on at the right and build squad depth that way. Stop pissing around with the stupid bomb squad. Players should be able to play for 90 min, if not, they are not fit enough. Eben should have had 3 games under his belt before this match. There should have been a warm up test match to test these combos

Esterhuizen fouled up badly in the Aussie wing running straight through him when he scored he first Aussie try. The Springboks backline defense organization was pathetic against the Assies and the same can be said of Am today.

I was horrified when I saw Mostert starting he was pathetic throughout the game and the match yesterday was lost in the first 20 minutes of the test. You are right about the starting team needing a change as suggested by you.
I would make 1 other change to the team - I would play Willemse ahead of AM at 13 - to my mind he is physically stronger and fast enough on both attack and defense to be effective. Willemse played at inside center for the Stormers and when attacking he would be effective at 12 - in defense he could line up at 12 and De Allende could move to 13.

Umm...what was the try count yesterday versus last week?
Against the ABs the Boks were being sliced to shreds.
I don't think you can blame Am for that one, the AB,s were very effective on the pick-up and drive, super fast ruck clearance, and then chipped over the top a few times. It only went wide int he final phase of play.
Their tactical kicking was top drawer. The boks couldn't get their hands on the ball in the first 15 min.
You concede a penalty, loose a line or even give away scrum penalty it is lights out. Not to mention those knock ons, that was critical. The catching was poor as well.
I liked the way the ABs carried their kicks, best kicking display I've ever witnessed. Not what SA does with the stupid bombs but they were all contestable or pinned the boks back.
Our defence around 9, 10 and 12 was shocking.
Im a converter of Richie now, they way the controlled the game and use his boot to get behind the boks defence.
No, this team was fast asleep and still dreaming of pitching up at the World Cup.
I like the idea of sending a team ahead, don't get me wrong, but these guys were simply not at the races

Fucking wake up Rassie and co
Marx is far better than Bongi
RG is better than Lood
PSDT is far far better than non effective Mostert
Start the side with our best players
By the time the best players got onto the field the damage had been done
Our best side did a good job of winning the second half
