C'mon Boks. One more try! We need that bonus point.

I don’t like this “De Allende at first receiver and wrap-around by Pollard”. Feels too Irish for me.

We don't seem to try any pre-planned moves off the set-piece anymore. We've got such a great defence and ability to absorb pressure that there's probably no incentive to try flashy plays. Rassieball is working so far and I'm loving all the winning. But being a Bok supporter feels like having a hot 20 year old girlfriend who insists on wearing a burkha when you go out for a drink.

Cleared the bench a little too soon.
Boks with 14 players on the field for the last 8 minutes.
Kolbe to scrumhalf.

Ja, the backs don't have a lot of confidence on attack. I'm sure if you crunch the numbers you'll probably find that a backline player is more likely to get turned over from a set-piece play than score from one, but I'd still like to see them try every now and again.FalseBayFC wrote: Sat Aug 21, 2021 4:53 pm We don't seem to try any pre-planned moves off the set-piece anymore.

[/quote We're becoming very predictable. The Puma's have already come up with the screen to protect the ball catcher which has effectively neutralized our box kick chasers today. The standing scrumhalf who is rolls the ball with his feet in a standing position while holding a conversation with his pillars and first receiver is hilarious. "Jasper did you remember to buy beers for tonight." "Ja Cobus." , " Watch me box kick ouens."

Bok defense completely broken out wide with Kolbe at scrumhalf. Argies trying to open things up and finding space.

Boks have been terrible. Back to the drawing board.

Hard luck Argies. Glad you got a try in the end there. You played til the end.
The only positive I can draw from this game is that Thomas du Toit is looking good and Janse van Rensburg looked handy when he came on. Our strength in the forwards is building nicely. We could have gone with a 5/3 sub split and had Fassi in there. In fact Fassi should have started at 15 and Willie should have had a rest.

Shit, this Hendrikse injury is going to be a massive setback.
Not sure how long Faf and Herschel are still going to be out, but if neither are going to be fit for the next game it means we only have Reinach and a new 9 that needs to get in the team, get his box-kicking game up to standard and learn the defensive pattern.
Who are the remaining options to bring in? Nohamba? He was at least involved earlier.
