The difference between the Bulls and the others is that the Bulls looked motivated, experienced players looking motivated to influence the Springbok selectors.

Nienaber said they haven't even studied the Bulls, explain why they lost.

Has the Walrus hit history with Marcus Smith?

Seems to be being unnecessarily picky about his performance

I thought Petersen improved after his first couple of errors and was the only Stomp who looked dangerous with ball in hand.

Yes agree, he had a better game then usual. Our backline struggle for space with vokkem Godlen. He is kak in every thing he do. We won't win anything with that vokken poos.

Thought our 1st phase (lineouts and scrums) were the best against the BILs compare to the other franchises.

He is crap. WP normally generate some good scrummies. Where are they?

Jones knows less about rugby than I do, and that's saying something. Criticising Smith should prove reliable clickbait for years.

“I know you guys want me to say there’s a crisis and that there should be some headline news about this,” White said afterwards.

“But the Boks needed a hit out and had to give some guys game-time. There’s no way that this result will be an indication of what will happen next week when the Test series starts.

"I don’t think this performance, just like the Lions against SA A earlier this week, should be one that’s read too much into…

“The Tests start from zero. The Stormers will play the Lions [in the final tour match] and even that result is meaningless in terms of the bigger picture. Next week, when the two sides pick their first-choice sides, that’s when the real action starts,” said White

"I thought the Bulls were good and they were desperate. We knew they would be. I've coached at teams where we have played against international teams, and your desperation levels are through the roof.

"The first finger must point to us and the management and myself as the head coach. We obviously did some big things wrong in the build-up to this game. The Bulls were good and, it's sad to say, they were more desperate than us. It starts with me."

He hates Quins, particularly after Saracens cheating was exposed with Quins help.

A reliably wrong person.

Quins were the biggest cheats in English rugby for years in the old amateur era. Jones has been around a while, he remembers and abhors the hypocrisy.

Having followed the Lions tours avidly for years I cannot remember a time when the test team wasn't pretty much self - selecting. I feel there are flip of a coin selections just about everywhere...

For me it comes down to tactics, e.g. does Gatland want fairly similar replacements on the bench or players that might be able to spark something (Marcus Smith, LRZ etc.)
