Is Marx onside here, standing in front of Pollard when he kicks for touch?

He appears to be in an offside position, but that doesn’t matter as long as he doesn’t attempt to play the ball until he has been put onside.

[OomStruisbaai]

Whinge, whinge, whine, whine!!!

Despite what many neutrals saw as an exceptional refereeing performance – Springboks fans and even a former player have gone after Luke Pearce in the wake of their shock defeat to the All Blacks in Johannesburg on Saturday.

Boet honestly, South Africa is no different then any other country. It's only our usual Homer ref whinger here but fuck me it's so depressing critizing the ref after a loss. It's only human to make mistakes.

Fair enough. What if Pollard's kick hits Marx before going into touch?

Would deserve to be penalised for such a shite kick if that happened

Can't complain too much about Pearce's pedantic reffing tbh. Watching the Boks needlessly running themselves around chasing the dead ball under his long advantages was quite amusing towards the end.

[average joe]

Dweba the disappointment: Last minute inclusion but since when do we start a rooky against the AB's when we have a more than capable monster available? Fat Frans, Marx, Kitshoff must start.
Thormeulen is loadshedding: You cant carry a legend for his leadership when the other loosies are non-existent.
Kolisi the zero sum of hero: You cant use Vermeulen only for his strengths if he's laying face down in the dirt at every ruck.
Klein Piet spiere: I would rather have had Mostert on 7 than PSdT. If you start Vermeulen then at least give him one hard worker to work with.
What 9? We have none after Faf the fluff
Polly Sure: Go for posts when you get a penalty.
Centre of no: Die Ellende and Am is the best of the bunch. They're so good they don't need replacements, they replace. Next game Die Ellende will play 7.
Broken wings: We're duct taping Boeing wings on to a jet fighter.
Wilde Willie: Mr dependable, Mr undropable, I backed him all those years when everyone said he was shyt, just so we're clear.

[Sards]

Fat Frans was a huge dissapointment . Gave away a penalty when he ate dirt and couldn't dominate his opponent.
Our maul is a load of shit

As most people, accepting SA rugby forums, believed the match was exciting and the ref was was very good then this needs to be countered swiftly.

I would rather have Trevor on the bench for his versatility than a one dimensional Ox.
The hot stepper Is good at the back and also versatile.

Thank god we never picked anyone Mark Keo lite backed. Imagine Zeilinga and Boch as Boks.

Sorry, must confess I was pissed as a chook while posting and mostly just having a laugh. Yep, he was certainly consistent and contributed to a good game. I'd have been happier if he'd succeeded in his efforts to stop the Boks delaying their lineout set-ups/rest breaks, but they seem to be a law unto themselves in that aspect of the game. The regulated water breaks are an improvement, but there still needs to be a more forceful crackdown on that time wasting shit, imho.

[Guy Smiley]

Agree on that. Teams are given the water breaks… aside from that there’s a requirement to form up for play and not waste time.

It’ll be hilarious to watch if that is cracked down on come the RWC and the Boks aren’t fit enough to manage.

[OomStruisbaai]

Canterbury do the same time waisting shite in the NPC.

I'm more worried that all the forwards are standing in a huddle staring at Marx's arse

Our fitness is not so much the issue. It's the way our subs are implemented and our 6 2 split

For a man who works with steel you are quite soft. Frans is the first player selected, that's just a fact.
