@Bovidae said in England vs Springboks:
It was frustrating that every English pass stuck last week in the final 10 mins whereas today they looked rather clueless when chasing the game, and made numerous errors.
A lot of those mistakes were caused by SA's incredible line speed as opposed to our passive D last week.

We do invite pressure with our piss weak kicking game and soak defence aye
It's maddening really.

South Africa didn't lose focus after 65 minutes but kept hammering away. It's been so disappointing to see the ABs lose their culture of ruthlessness under Foster. The Boks still have it.

@NTA Saffer little blokes (7s) changed our franchises attacking skills. Stormers have Senatla Davids, Sharks Abrahams, Cheetahs Spekman, Bulls KL Arendse.
Arendse attended Klein Nederburg (from a disadvantage Paarl township) and played for Boland 7s before getting into the SA 7s squad and Jake White scout him for the Bulls. Moodie from Boland Landbou

Like at Ellis Park? They've lost games late too.

No, only the All Blacks under Foster have flaws, everyone else is amazing

Does anyone else think the pass to Le Roux was forward? Looked a bit Michalak-like.

Can they defend well against big power wingers?

You know what? Who cares when they can do the shit they already do
NZ fans are obsessed with perfect players
Oh yeah he scores two tries a test and regularly turns guys inside out but because he missed two tackles I want him fired
Especially out wide we've forgotten what wings are for. They are not loose forwards FFS.
Beat guys and create opportunities for points FFS

@Billy-Tell Yes, pass looked a shade forward.
Think both games have highlighted three things which will be crucial come WC time.
Discipline leadership/game management and the ability to execute in the last 10 mins. Simple really.......now if only Foster was paying attention... -

Slow as a wet week

@SidBarret Thomas Tank come from the same TH Paarl Boys factory as Fat Frans. The next one, my good friend's son, Sebastiaan Lombaard, SA U20 plying his trade at Jake White's Bulls. Thanks Richard Visagie.
Any relation to Kobus?
