Bullshit that was a plain straightforward miss by Libbok - Aki went straight through him it had absolutely nothing to do with Kolisi, PSDT or DA
Get real Moz - nice try
The Irish tried all kinds of elaborate loops, switches to break the Bok defence with no success
Very much like the Marchant break a few years back….when Dud blew it…the Irish probably studied that. And yes Libbok missed the tackle but our defense was totally out of whack
. It had nothing to do with Dud Toit, but Kolisi stayed bound far too long. And Dud Allende never adjusted to what was happening.
After all Aki was his man in the initial line up. At least Libbok adjusted.
The break was crucial….it gave the Irish belief after a ragged start. Robotic defence unlocked by a simple ruse.
There was nothing robotic about our defence it was on point. The Irish pride themselves on unlocking defences that never happened against us
It was a simple miss by Libbok who was the easy target
You can see how Mozzzz has lost it. There is no longer any subtlety to his game but just in your face rank bias.
Allende has rubbed his nose in it so often that now ou mozzz has a nose permanently out of joint. Allende and Du Toit live rent free in poor Mozzz's feverish and tormented "mind".
The retirement of Allende, Du Toit and Rassie might alleviate the condition but there is a strong chance mozzz will be blaming these guys long after their departure. Rassie wrecked Bok Rugby. Allende became a model that other centets unfortunately followed ditto Du Toit. Who knows what this mal functioning mind will come up with next. He never ceases to amaze.
The Bok defence is about two man gang tackles on one off runners. Anything more than that bamboozles them. This is why we have, statistically and factually, the worst defence at tier one level. The Boks are terrible defending anything of even below average complexity. Look how often the Irish ran hard, but slipped a pass just before or on the point of contact and got into some kind of gap. Their forwards were better skilled than our entire backline. The contrast in sophistication and thought was frightening. But for the Bok spoiling tactics, this was a massacre.
I provide a perfect analysis of this key moment…..HasBeen and Dave provide denials. So in a set piece scrum our flyhalf is supposed to tackle their inside center….got it. It’s new Rugby.
So we have the Brilliant Irish attack and the terrible Bok defence. Yet Ireland score one try, the same as us in 80 minutes of play. They don't even see how crazy they are!
My oh my how much of a laugh can a guy handle! You simply can't make up the BS these loons dish up. What is absolutely hilarious they can't see how daft they are.
Then we have them saying the Bok defence is only so good because Nienaber is the defence coach and Rassie who mentored Nienaber and appointed him as Bok coach can take no credit for this.
These poor dears are becoming seriously unhinged. Bwahahahahahahaha.
What will they be like should the Boks win the RWC. 
Right now they are far gone. Hahahaha. Anyhow loons thanks for the unintended comedy.
Moz….Ireland by 5…..you should be thanking me for the good steer.
Back to the Bundi break…..both Libbok and Dud Allende were confused by the Lowe feint and the direct pass to Bundi.
Libbok was the first to react but missed a difficult side on tackle after he had partially overrun the move. Dud Allende figured it out so late, all he could do was paw at Bundi.
Outside Bundi there was Ringrose…..outside Allende there was Kriel marking him. Bundi was fair game for either Libbok or Dud….but from the scrum onward he was Dud’s man.
Just another case of Dud getting confused by a bit of attacking deception.
Bundi also accelerated away from him alarmingly easily.
Less Chardonnay and a swop to a diluted lemonade and you might follow the game better!
I would say nice try but really it was so weak I can't.
Let me help…..a set move….a direct pass to the inside center. So who should make that tackle. Libbok who was lined up inside and had to crab sideways to try and make a side and behind tackle. Or Dud Allende who from the onset of the scrum was lined up on Aki.
Oh Moz you are so desperate to blame DA and you are embarrassing yourself in the process
In normal circumstances you would have your flyhalf marking his opposite number but that does not apply when the opposition 10 does not receive the ball
Aki targeted Libbok - I guess in your world maybe DA should have pushed Libbok on his inside out of the way and said to Libbok don’t worry I have Aki
Moz the lengths you go to……
That break had NOTHING to do with DA or Kolisi - not even close
Yup I afraid so Dave. Mozzz needs to less obvious. How can he expect to fool anybody with this lame "analysis".
So when a scrum half passes directly to an inside center from a scrum…..the opposing flyhalf is responsible to tackle him. What utter rubbish. And Aki never ‘targeted’ Libbok he ran dead straight…..Libbok was the player who adjusted first and tried to make the tackle Dud Allende should have made,
I believe there was a gaff like this before. Morné should have tackled a player who was nowhere near him because 10 always takes player X. I believe this was also a Saddex gaff. Some lacking fundamentals from our resident coach and class act.
Ou mozzzzz has dug a hole for himself so deep the moon and the stars have disappeared. On queue a little echo arrives.
Then I look at the Keenan near try. Van der Flier gets the ball and is breaking through the Dud Allende tackle….Bongi saves his blushes by putting him away.
Dud Allende trots out to the blindside. But all the action is on the open side….Ringrose fakes to Bundi and throws a long pass to Keenan.
Keenan easily beat dud Toit but Kriel racing back just manages to bring him down at the line. Dud Allende is walking on the other side of the park.
So often we see this…the opposition launches a dangerous move and Dud Allende is doing his nails.
The ref helps the Boks with an early push call.
Then I look at the Ringrose dust off. Dud was literally standing still when Ringrose hit him….bounced back…then made 3 metres before being put away by that star open field tackler Tad Furlong.
The Sexton dust off was done at some pace. It was in fact the mirror image of the Bundi move without some of the deception. However in this case Dud stepped left into Sexton meeting him head on….in the Bundi run it was the tackler who had to make the adjustment. Good power by Allende there, his best moment in the game. But could Esterhuizen have done that …you betcha!
Then Dud Toit blows it…stripped by a wing,
Then Bundi puts away Kriel on the line….set piece under the posts.
Yes de Allende would have been marking Aki with Libbok marking Sexton but the ball was passed directly to Aki who blatantly obviously targets the weaker Libbok and ran straight through him
DA’s fault my arse - it’s a laugh
It’s all DA’s fault - Libbok should have just stepped out the way or run in the opposite direction - no way was he meant to try stop the guy running at him, how dare him
No he doesn’t target him….he runs at the gap between them that’s why Libbok hits him from the side….duh! By the time Libbok hit him Libbok was running sideways and backwards.
Totally different to Dud Allende stepping inside and running a direct head on route to Sexton.
See your optician.
Rubbish he targets Libbok for obvious reasons he is the weak link - Aki is not stupid
It has stuff all to do with DA and everything to do with Libbok being owned defensively
Answer this question did Libbok hit him side on?
Then Willemse beats Ringrose, but at pace….makes 8 metres and gets away a probing kick. He isn’t tackled by a prop 3 metres later.
Lowe right through Dud Allende who gets help.
Malherbe belly flops….3 points Ireland.
Next Dud drops the ball to cheers from the Irish fans,
I’m not sure what Libbok tried to do it was all pretty feeble - he and DA knew that tackling Aki was his responsibility, that is why he attempted the tackle - if that was not the case then Libbok would have left the job to DA. Pretty obvious Moz
If you are in a position to make a tackle you go for it - that’s what Libbok did - any confusion and hesitation on Libbok’s part would have been caused by the Faf rush
There may have been some confusion as to who was going to make the tackle but Dud was in a must better position to do so …Libbok had overrun the man and was focused inside.
Around minute 65 Dud gets the ball twice in space and dies with it.
Now after a great Snyman break Dud Toit fumbles it into touch.
Minute 70 Boks have the throw in after one Bok maul had been illegally stopped. Another lineout…the dice are loaded in our favor…another maul infraction could draw a card.
Deon Fourie steps up and throws in skew.
That was a game losing moment….thanks Harrassmiss.
As I said I changed my opinion on DA and Kriel based on the first half - DA was good and Kriel made 2 try saving tackles
But I do recall a moment in the second half where DA fucked up and that’s what defined my call on his game overall
Will watch the second half at some point soon
It’s frustrating that Ireland effected all that breakdown advantage in the second half when we supposedly had all our turnover kings on the park in Fourie, v Staaden and Kwagga
These three failed to get themselves into positions to effect turnovers and having those less physical 3 on in the second half compromised our ability to clear the Irish forwards over the ball
I’m not sure why Vermeulen was not on the bench ahead of v Staaden
Arendse shows our centres how to break through the midfield. But no support from our backs
I don’t recall the Arendse break other than the kick he gathers and escapes Lowe’s grasp
RG made the great break but fucked up not looking for support - he has admitted that on social media saying he needs to seek help from Manie and DA
I laughed when he said DA as I knew you would not agree:)
The final act. Magnificent kick to the corner by Libbok…we should have scored there and the ref blew too soon.
Yes I don’t get that call by the ref at all. I know Mallett and Matfield have kicked off about that call I’m surprised Rassie has not
He instead praised the ref but was probably being sarcastic

So this was a clever set move by Ireland, completely misread by the Bok defence. As the ball comes out of the scrum Lowe positions himself inside Sexton.
The ball is bobbled slightly by Park allowing the Boks to sprint up. Key Bok defenders are already making mistakes. Open sider Kolisi stays bound long after Dud Toit has broken off and Arendse is not adjusting to Lowe’s move.
Libbok is two paces ahead of Dud Allende creating a natural gap. And his body orientation is directed at Sexton/Lowe.
But the ball goes to Aki. Libbok is two paces inside him and twists to get on a line to tackle. Meanwhile Dud Allende has made no adjustments and has left a barn door gap.
Aki pierces that gap. Dud Allende stops dead and Libbok tries to make the tackle. He misses a difficult side on tackle while falling. Dud Allende is stranded with his weight falling backwards and just paws at Aki.
Aki sets off from a virtual standing start, gasses Kolisi and Wiese. Dud Allende gets tangled with the falling Wiese, but in the chase is actually slower than Kolisi. Kriel gets back to close him down on the outside and Arendse/Willemse make the tackle.
Mistakes a plenty…..failing to adjust to the Irish line up….the gap in the defensive line.. confusion between Dud and Libbok as to who was on Aki. A very clever Irish set move that totally bamboozled the rush defence…..feint with the wing on the inside and by pass the flyhalf. It scrambled our defensive program.
