So, about DMac as a Test 10....
Game management has never been one of DMac's strengths, so how about starting Plummer next week?
With Jordan at 15 and the bench spot an open cage fight between DMac and BB?
Sounds good to me.

I hate seeing those chickenshit tackles on the try scorer; should be automatic penalty

Tbh that is pathetic from the boks. A champion team would be able to control games, let alone after they are with 17 points in the lead.

Enjoy the game folks.
You dickhead
Sorry Guy, but live in Australia we have a heck of a lot of differing sports to enjoy rather than watching five minute reviews of a score, in a badly reffed game. Ever wondered why crowd numbers are dropping in Oz? Good win by the the Lions overnight, Melbourne's worse nightmare has come true, Sydney v Brisbane final :clap: Which is going to be interesting as I support the Swannies and her in doors is a Lions supporter. Been a while since the Swans won it all, and can't even recall when Brisbane last won the GF.

Oh no Oom those dastardly Pumas did the dirty on you, still your guys should make them pay next game :thumbup: Congrats to Los Pumas and their supporters, what a win. So Australia confirmed as wooden spoon holders, the Pumas have a chance for their first title, and NZ need to prove themselves to the fans again after that display.

Out of interest when was the last time the ABs scored in the final quarter, question poised to me last night, vaguely think it might have been against the English?

Oh Guy we have also resolved the issues the Knights currently have, replace about eight first pick players :thumbup:

I lived in Oz for over 30 years. Still have a passport. I’m quite familiar with the sporting broadcast landscape, thanks all the same.

Nothing could induce me to sit through a league game now though. I can’t stand the shit… and for a while I was neighbours with Dessie Hasler, he and his wife used to come over every now and then for parties. The code is still shit. Sorry about your attention span issues, hope it gets better for you.


Well done to the Argies. They touched out a hard one there.

Great win for our rugby nephews. Couldn't sleep after that nightmare. Despite Libbok being Libbok , our defense was the kakkest I have ever seen. Contepomi worked it all out. We need 1 bonus point to settle it. Pumas need to win by 38.

Will be a big occasion in Nelspruit for Eben.

Congrats to the Pumas. I thought they had a good chance, recent Bok performances not great going in, some really good Pumas performances when they turned up, in Argentina, not full strength Bok selection.

Libbok kicking a pen dead with that passage of play ending up in the Pumas scoring points was as bad as missing the kick. He has obvious anxiety issues with place kicking, could see in his face he was struggling with that place kick. I now do not think his place kicking issues can be fixed, he's just an erratic place kicker. His career would be better off if he removed himself as a place kicker, may mean he ends up in some odd positions but this is getting painful to watch.

Moerat, Nortje, Dixon were all kak in the lineout. Moerat I don't rate at all, Nortje I rate more than I did before he was a Bok but still not massively excited by him, Dixon is average. Can't expect much at the lineout if your locks and blindside are average.

Game was lost in the second quarter which included the yellow, when the Boks conceded 4 tries. Moerat wasn't communicating with the ref at all through that, nor was he able to get his players to shut the game down and play conservatively. Just looked like there was no captain. That was a passing storm which they had to get through without conceding points, they conceded maximum points.

If the Sharks had Moerat/Dixon/Libbok playing for them in the Currie Cup final, they would've lost. In terms of top level SA rugby they're average. Libbok I can almost see what Rassie is getting at, if he stops goal kicking and becomes a utility player then maybe. Moerat and Dixon I see nothing that interests me. What I'm mostly seeing is if a player wants to be selected for the Boks, play for the Stomps.

WP........that is their level. Cost the Springboks the game.
But I just don't get it. How much more is Rassie going to lose before he makes the right decision.

After a near perfect weekend they vok it up for me

Fassi was good. Had a decent rating too.
Can you enlighten us about missed tackles. I have learnt with you Stomps. You just throw shit and hope it sticks.
I would have understood if you said Am. Because he was poor.

Ultimately it was the vokken Stormers players that were the worst.
What the actual vok does Moerat have over Rassie. He's kak

While they were all 3 crap, at least they tried.

Moerat and BJD were dogshit while not even trying to play.

Libbok just doesn't have the temperament.

Have no idea why Rassie wants Moerat. His Boishaai team mate from the Sharks, van Heerden was always a much better lock.
