Hopefully we see him pop up on the wing at least once in this one, seeing as there's another scrumhalf in the XV.

Wow
He was SA record holder over 400m, running a 45.01

Fair fucks to Kriel. I've never really rated him but he's really stood up, and appears to be getting better each game.
He is still a bit 1-dimensional in attack but he is great on defence.
Critical now in Am's absence because they are the only 2 outside centers that have enough experience with the Rasnaber defence system to consistently make the correct reads. Which is why I'm glad Moodie is getting another shot at 13. The kid is smart enough to pick up the system and just needs to more gametime to nail it down and give us some more cover at 13.
Seeing Am in studio on Saturday for the warm-up was pretty sad. Such a class player and human being.

We've actually been quite lucky with injuries so far.

Some of these cvnts have flip.flopped so many times I am finding it hard to remember who supported which players and or coaches.
The only thing that stays straight and true is oom and sards having a go at each over.
You and him had a misunderstanding yesterday and his excuse was so stupid, just like above. He dont read the posts then his excuse is that he is so busy running around. What a vokop he is.
You are such an angry daddy

Kriel and Moodie are both good on defence.
On attack they are very frustrating: Kriel never passes, just takes contact and goes to ground.
Moodie grubbers the ball into the 22....this works against Valke and Boland. International 15s are much too good to get caught out of position.
FFS.....he did it once. Moodie is class. No amount of negative input from you will change that.

That was his dad Jaco.
Ja, that's who I meant. I doubt Cobus was running 45.01 in 1983.
Swimming then.

Marx was a massive loss, but that's about it.
Same with red and yellow cards.

I still cant understand these high tackles. In our days we were coached to tackle around the ankles. The only difficult part is when the attacker dip low. Those are unfortunate.

No, he did it against ABs and again against Romania. Willie threw up his hands in frustration.
I rate Moodie, but he's not perfect (yet)
Oh my word.
Such high standards he has to meet.

Julle was te dom om te probeer offload.
Ons het baie vinnig geleer offload want ons het op grond velde gespeel. Dis waar Kriel en Ellendig moet speel. Dan sal die donners vinnig pass.

Om te offload is om te paas wanneer jy klaar gelak is oom. Dis die rede hoekom moderne coaches die laaitjies leer om hoog te vat. Gaan vir die arms dan kan hul nie offload in die tackle nie.
Ons was geleer om vir die naaltjie te mik maar ons kon mekaar nog vel deur die kraag te gryp en te swaai.

Wel jy wil nie getekkel word op grond nie. So jy het vinnig gepass. Gravel burn is n etter. Hy het altyd gevrot. Nie eens Apie bloed (mecurochrome) kon red nie.
Nuwerus het ook gespeel op grond. Niemand kan hul klop op hul tuisveld nie. Daai Boere kom net saterdae bymekaar vir rugby en vat alle parties oor na die game. Almal kan kitaar speel.

Moodie is usually a lot more careful and conservative on attack than he was against Romania.
I think his successful outing against the All Blacks at Twickenham gave him a little too much confidence at international level and against Romania he thought everything he did would turn to gold. It was a bit of a wakeup call. I think he'll come back down to earth against Tonga and make some better decisions on attack.

Funny the French complain about the 17h45 kickoffs. (annoying if you work over 20 minutes away from your home).

The french have complained about the 17h45 week games.
