Keep the players on their feet. Tackler release tackler, who releases the ball. Immediately. No playing the ball on the ground. Any "clean out" that collapses the ruck to be penalised. Straight scrum feeds. Straight (forward) scrumming. Stamping/treading players disallowed. The recipe is t...

White coaches redeemed ?

Jong aartappeltjie. Dun vel. Verkeerde tyd van die jaar, hul plant nou eers aartappels.

Rasnaber achieved a RWC first time out. They can improve.

Books are almost exactly where they were 2018. And Rassie will be back in the change room, post RWC. Might make a difference

When will Goosen be ready to play ? And RG Snyman ? Are they moving from their franchises ?

Rasnaber still have to make space for Goosen, Snyman, and one or two others, before RWC 2023 ....

I'm more worried that all the forwards are standing in a huddle staring at Marx's arse

Well, Marx IS the best hooker in world rugby......

Doing chops and wors today as well as a size galjoen my daughter landed at Rooi Els this afternoon. Taken a house at Bettys Bay for the weekend with 2 other families. One of my mates bought up a massive TV and we're all set for the match. Galjoen.... it's been years since I've last had galjoen. Mig...

I was in central Krugersdorp a month or two ago - fucking cesspit.

Ai. Rudi gave us great pleasure with his umpiring.

RIP

He's better than him, and Fourie.

He has been outstanding for the Boks for the last 4 years, but Saturday he was at his sublime best. We are so lucky to have him.

NOBODY is/was better than Danie Gerber ..

Leave Nipper out of this please.

Been changed long ago, to Mogale City .

I'm pretty sure it was just Nelspruit when I flew into the airport there 6 years ago
The fuckers change all the afrikaans names.

Not true. They changed the English Port Elizabeth to the Afrikaans name Gatberg.

If the Boks deviated from their 3-3-2 forward deployment. NZ went for a 2-2-2-1 deployment, which sank them. Ireland played very good, and NZ not so good, at all. NZ will change and come at the Boks with a vengeance..... whether they have the quality and resilience to pull off a win remains to be se...

Sards - beautiful knives.

Like Chilli I am almost overstocked with knives, but somehow another and another manage to creep in.... yet I use only a few. My favourite is the deba.

Where does the player draw the line ? If he is good at rugby, and with the "right" mindset, that is what he will do. And a willing public will bay him onward, while the control bodies and stadium/team owners profit. Just like pro boxing. Or gladiators in Rome.. Or mercenaries in Ukraine. M...

No. You are crude and distasteful. If that rocks your boat, carry on.

Maybe you can fire Foster, hire Alistair Coetzee ....

See Trump had his ex killed by Putin. Probably because of all the rape and stuff he did be doing to her This is a bit distasteful. While we all enjoy robust debate etc., slagging our pet hates thus is quite self-demeaning. It is also quite slanderous, can lead to repercussions for the bored owners.

Here in the Verre Noord Transvaal (Warmbad) it has been a cold as fuck winter. Went as cold as far as -6 Celsius.... Bird population is down, bloody Indian minahs took over. Also saw a lone weaver building a nest, the other day. Guess America should vote Democrat, to stop this "climate change&q...

NZ isolated themselves only to be exposed to the fullgrown, most vicious variants.

Luckily Kiwis are strong, will eventually win this one too. The Spiritual Guardians of COVID....

Boks to win by 2.

Roos will figure soon. Just need to adapt to tier one rugby.

Is Merry a Joyce ?

Poor Irish are always targeted.

Ouch. You do not do such procedures in South African state hospitals - to here are excellent private hospitals (at a stiff price) for those. Ironically, the best opthalmic surgeon I know works for the State, full time, and succeeds in referring needful state patients to private care (subsidised by t...

It will be a hard game. Depends on whether Wales wants the series win enough.

I like this team.....

They kicked us out. Now they will bear the consequences...

NZ and Boks should win this weekend. Ozzie in with a chance.

Ja. There is a difference between URC and Test rugby.....

Bok team for 3rd Test will be interesting.

Missed the match - load shedding. The little I could see on my phone indicated a Bok side unable to move the ball, pressured in the scrum.

Time for Rassie to return...

OomStruisbaai wrote: ↑Sat Jul 09, 2022 12:16 pm Well well. No one got this right. All pressure now on the Springboks .

I think I had it right. Either here or on PR.

Still sucks, though Wales deserved the win.

Well done Wales. Passion and guts did the thing.

OomStruisbaai wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 2:52 pm Win or lose, I am glad our coaches experiment now. In 2019 it works, this is the right time.

They have the luxury of a test in the bag. Transfers pressure onto the new side, make them work. Ideal.

Boks to lose in a big way.

I liked the game. Boks were rusted, undercooked, inept, disorganised.

Yet they managed to sneak the win.
