Rugby Championship Match Thread - Sat 2nd - SA v NZ / Arg v Aus

[FalseBayFC]

Keo full of praise for going back to the SA way
The "SA way" is too attritional, great if you play a few tests a year yeah otherwise you get the last three tests results
We will never learn.

I'm not a violent chap but when I see Keohane's face I imagine myself smashing it with a right cross.

Im so tired of our forwards going to the wall and our backs pissing it away

[FalseBayFC]

Damien Willemse, as Kak as he is would have been useful today at 12 or even 15. Willie just gives me the absolute shits now. He's has good positional awareness and a safe pair of hands but is too slow and had every last bit of flair coached out of him.

Ja, it is time to ring some changes.

[Sandstorm]

Argie drift defence isn’t working here. Aus have too much time to draw and pass.

Faf and Pollard must go. Vok they made me pissed. My Mrs gave me aanstoot, for the swearing.

De Allende is great defensively but an absolutely one dimensional attacking player. Andre Esterhuizen is a more complete 12 imo. A bit of a card magnet though. Not sure who else could step up.

The strategy being employed is rubbish but after doubling down on it match after match I can see it eroding confidence and morale.

We need to try and keep the score close next week if not win the match. I'd be happy to lose again because it would knock the smugness out of Rassie and Nienaber completely and they'll be under some pressure to reform.

They were terrible, I agree. Just plain dumb decision making.

Christ, do Aussie commentators ever stop fucking whining.

Mine too

This is nothing. Wait until their team goes behind…..

[ScarfaceClaw]

Just finished watching it. All Blacks were absolutely dominated at the breakdown. Mainly because Blackadder was the only loosie who was getting anywhere near a ruck. Where in the living fuck was Akira Ioane in that match.

I thought once the comms team got overhauled it might improve a touch. Obviously not.

[OomStruisbaai]

Credit to the English, their refs are excellent.

[OomStruisbaai]

Wallabies waterboy is the main speaker in their cloak room. Learning from Rassie

I can hardly remember his name being mentioned by the commentators and he was not very visible at the breakdown

[Sandstorm]

Hooper smashed!!!

Mostly knocking the ball on.

[Sandstorm]

Whinge whinge whinge

[sorCrer]

Was quite pissed off when Pearce called advantage over whilst the kick from Pollard was still in the air. That is bullshit.

[Sandstorm]

Nic White is a puss-filled cock, but he does clear the ball very quickly behind each ruck.

No, it’s the law.

[Sandstorm]

Some dumb penalties from both sides here.

[sockwithaticket]

I liked the awkward silence after the lead commentator appealed for Harrison to back him up on his idea that players on the ground should be allowed to tackle.

“No bites?
Harrison: “No bites (you stupid cnut)”

Another clash in the air. Someone is going to get hurt badly and soon.

Vorster is looking good
Pity his career didnt kick on earlier
Maybe not too late for him, i dont know

[Sandstorm]

Yeah lads, the Bok issue is at 12. Morons.

[Sandstorm]

Aus finally score after 20 phases. They could have scored after 7 if their backs weren’t all so greedy. Just pass, you crow-bars.

Fokof Sandy V
We can all see what's wrong, genius
That doesn't change the fact DDA is a black hole on attack

Amazed the TMO did not call that last pass from JOC forward.

That’s his job. He’s a Bok 12. He has to bosh. He isn’t there to pass.

Not sure what AE will bring to the party that is 1% different. He’s exactly the same player. So is Frans. Bosh merchants are what Rassie wants.

Esterhuizen has looked good in the Premiership. But the again I thought the same about Jasper but he turned out kak. Just shows you how good JDV and Fourie were in their prime.

[OomStruisbaai]

De Allende actually pass the ball today. Our problem starts with Faf and Pollard, they look lost on attack even from turn over possession

Yup. There is no other plan except kick it.

Advantage by it's very definition can't be over if the ball is in the air.

Was it a pen advantage or just for a scrum?

Scrum IIRC

[Chilli]

So the Bok$ lost to a combination B&C New Zealand team?


Yaaaaaaay!
