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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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