Springboks v All Blacks 2
-
@nostrildamus welcome to our world. We have been smashed by the All Blacks not long ago for a long time. A week is a long time in rugby.

The quicker the Springbokke forget about last night the better. Suppose Faf and KL Arendse will be out. RasNaber won't change much maybe Kriel on the wing and H Jantjies in. Was enjoying the bit of phase play at the start until they realized the All Blacks catch a cold in the air. Some of the Boks will need a rest at sometime. Maybe bring Ox and Tank on the bench, start with Kitshoff.
Can't see the Boks losing against the absolute rabble in Black at the moment. We're a shower of shit. Worst AB team of my lifetime. If you're a Boks fan get a ticket to Ellis Park if you possibly can. The ABs are going to get whipped.
Not around in '98/'99?

@booboo mate, they actually played some good rugby...this team is about to equal that run anyway next week.

Get what you're saying. But I thought that late 90s team was really brittle.
This team, to my mind, is full of decent players who are less than the sum of it's parts.
Early 70s was shit too. In my lifetime but before my recollection ...

@booboo this is def a good team, but zero direction or anything else resembling that of a top rugby nation.

Agree 100%

They get enough rest during the game don't they?
-
@taniwharugby we do need some changes, being midfield, loosies and some props that aren't beige.
But generally just a way to make a whole that gets the best out of the players.

cos you know what, I reckon we are seeing many in this team, collectively almost at thier worst! Just so much wrong with things, I imagine the pressure is immense, but I doubt it is a very happy camp.
-
@booboo This is worse. The ABs lost a lot of games in the late Hart era but we were at least competitive in most of them. At the moment we are losing games by big margins and barely firing a shot.
Hart had the wrong plan (speed not power). At the moment there is zero plan which is worse.
-
@Crazy-Horse maybe. Our bom squad is the poison. We need tovstart them like Marx yesterday. Our third choice frontrow will walk in the All Black team. These players need to play
-
Schalk Burger summed up the issues with our loosies very well.
-
@Mattasaurus What did he say?
-
Cane not playing well and under pressure and it shows.
Ardie stands out but looks lonely.
He was surprised SB didn't start 6.It was on the breakdown, he spoke very well.. Worth a watch when it goes up on YouTube
-
Please either play Akira - Paps - Sotutu with Ardie on the bench, or start Ardie with Paps on the bench. That's so obviously our best mix of loosies. It's immensely frustrating to see them continue with an unbalanced trio, and then to really rub salt in the wound recall the woman beater who is not only a fucking criminal but is also just awful at test level. An absolute flat track bully that gets his sorry ass handed to him by the big boys every time.

@Mattasaurus Starting an extra tight forward might compensate in some ways for our tight five being substandard. With our structures it would make fuck all difference though.
