For years you have ripped Morne for a penalty against Oz which never went into touch. But told us Goosen was the man for Bok 10. Do you see your problem?

The team lost the match and G oosen was sub-standard in this match - Morne was shit in most tests  he played in bar one in 2009.   He was no flyhalf - he was a goal kicker and that is not the only thing  what the game is about, although  that is the 90% you claim any flyhalf is required to be. 

I can still remember that famous case in 2012 in Dunedin where the NZ commentaotrs over th e air said his strategic kicking  was BS and where he missed 7 kicks at goal as well.   I can also remember a test in Port Elizabeth where Morne was boo-ed by t eh crowd due to his pathetic performance by the crowd.  

In other words I still th ink Morne was a one-dimensional and in fact a poor flyhalf for the Springboks through neutralizing  near totally backline attacks, while jis defense was pathetic as well,   In the match  you refer to Morne missed 7 out of 15 tackle attempts and  I doubt whether Goosen equalled that yesterday.   

It was defense were the Bulls lost the match yesterday.   Really pathetic and without Hanekom their defense deteriorated badly.

Morne Steyn plunders while New Zealand blunder

This article is more than 14 years old
South Africa 31-19 New Zealand


Milestones continue to fall for South Africa. This victory, courtesy of 31 points by Morne Steyn, a Tri Nations record, secures them their first series win over New Zealand in 30 years, and they are now clear at the top of the table with two wins out of two, both against the All Blacks. As they continue what is fast turning into a lap of honour round their homeland – their fifth Test match in a row in the Republic, with another to come next week against Australia in Cape Town – they are presumably feeling good about themselves.:D

BB I refer to that test above - other than that Steyn's performances was shit for years in all aspects of rugby.   He was part of Meyer's 2015 RWC which  had 7 other unplayable players,   With the Japan disgrace in 2015 - the Springboks had to play the same players for virtually all group matches  - since the Springboks could not rest players in minor matches against poor teams  - which means that when they played the AB's the real players were dead on their feet.  

It ended upin a disaster and Meyer was effectively fired by SARU - but they appointe even a worse coach to replace him in Coetzee.  The results were disastrous for the Springboks - in the two AB Matches in 2017 Cotzee brought back Morne at flyhalf.   In those two tests the B's made a total of 114 points against 15 by the Springboks.

By the way both were fired by their respective clubs because hey were destroying the clubs and they were both fau=ilures at ckach level.   

By the way in his hysteria attacks on Erasmus in 2018 before any tests were played Mozart claimed that it would have been better to retain Coetzee as coach than to appoint Erasmus.   It is a weird world we live in when it comes to rugby,     

Af ter winning 2 WC the  site rugby idiots still keep up their attcks on Erasmus and some of the players  in the team.

Back to the point. Isn’t what Goosen did yesterday exactly what you condemned Morne for doing for all these years….yes or no?
