SA Rugby

Hopeless......just kicked all the posession away."Sometimes we play better without the ball than with ball in hand" JdeV

I guess they'll never learn <

Thanks Winzip. I could not put my money on the Bokke.

Wzip of the two teams the Boks will improve especially if they include the subs earlier .... but we have shown that if we are attacked at pace we are vulnerable which is what NZ do . Coach has to be brave and make the changes

Goosen a MUST at 10....Kirchner must go....!Bring on the changes ,this was such a weak Aussie side....

I have said it before, and I'll say it again - or loose trio is too slow to the ball - must find a fetcher; I think Morne Stryn is now definetly passed his sell-by date - either Goosen or Lambie must play at fly-half and if Goosen is at flyhalf, we don't need Frans Steyn. If we have Lambie at flyhalf, move Frans Steyn to fullback - either way, get de Jongh in

any idea who the backline coach is? I have never seen a backline with no attacking plan ,other than trying to run over people, These teams understand the Springbok/Blue Bulls way now of forward domination,rolling maul and playing in the opponents half. Once they nullify us we have NO PLAN B.....very frustrating to watch.

I had more entertainment watching the lions beats the bulls.
Boring stuff. Coaches are so scared of losing and players of making a mistake... It becomes something one struggles to get excited about..

Morne out, Goosen in

South African: 15 Zane Kirchner, 14 Bryan Habana, 13 Jean de Villiers (captain), 12 Frans Steyn/Jaco Taute, 11 Francois Hougaard, 10 Johan Goosen, 9 Ruan Pienaar, 8 Duane Vermeulen, 7 Willem Alberts, 6 Francois Louw, 5 Andries Bekker, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Adriaan Strauss, 1 Tendai Mtawarira.
Replacements: 16 Tiaan Liebenberg, 17 Coenie Oosthuizen, 18 Flip van der Merwe, 19 Marcell Coetzee, 20 Elton Jantjies, 21 Jaco Taute/Juan de Jongh, 22 Pat Lambie.

Ou Ry......for me it's much te same to be honest. More change is needed. Now the coach is including Goosen and saying Don't expect too much from the boy. So has he bent over because of the pressures??

For the coach........you need to make at least 5 changes to the team.....and 1 final tip, please include Brussouw in the team, even if he sits on the bench and makes an appearance off the bench until you think he is ready 100%. He is too valuable not to have him part of the squad. When you look again, these players are going to leave for overseas contracts!!

i see the spread is -7.5springboks so il be having a full go on the boks at loftus.
i just wish they wouldnt play pienaar at scrumhalf because he takes his sweet time to clear the ball.

And no scrumhalf on the bench - what happens if he gets injured?

They will put Lambie on wing and move hougaard to scrummie. OR lambie to fullback, Kirchner to wing and hougaard to scrummie
