Yeah, he’s been mister reliable for so long, it’s weird seeing him have a bad day at the office.

Yep. Forwards have been fine.

Pollard, Faf and Am have all be sub-par all day. Really stopping us from getting any momentum.

Correct decision given the laws, but I really dislike the deliberate knock-on penalty and card.

On of my least favourite laws in the game, and not just because it went against the Boks. I’ve always disliked it.

Willie is rubbish. Occasionally does something but other wise crap. The 50 - 20 kick rule is a load of crap.

Deserved yellow card for yellow 2.

Could have turned a knee inside out with that type of impact.

He only really shines when we have a decent counter attack opportunity. Haven’t really been any today.

We’re in trouble now lads.
Lineout also starting to misfire now that we only have 2 jumpers. Should have put a lock on the bench.

Pollard yanked. Willemse on at 10. Big call.

Our only chance at winning this now is to grind it out. Scrum, penalty, lineout, maul, try. Rinse. Repeat.

Nienaber giving Jake White a go for bad bench management. Should have had a lock sub on the bench instead of Kwagga and kept Wiese on the bench as late as possible.

Joke shop.

Agree on both statements.

Also, that Faf grubbed is becoming too predictable now. Is that the only attacking weapon we have other than a lineout mail?

Jeez, we miss Kolbe out there.
