Jaques Fourie.
8 Aug 2009, 18:41 pm
actually i dunno why jannie du plessis is picked, he cant scrum and he’s handling is abysmal.
8 Aug 2009, 18:41 pm
why does div insist on bringing on jacobs for jean with 10 mins to go.
8 Aug 2009, 18:42 pm
if that’s not proffesional then I don’t know what is! F@ck ref!
8 Aug 2009, 18:43 pm
Poor play by George Smith there.
8 Aug 2009, 18:44 pm
SA 29 – OZ 17

#203 WP_:
Because that’s where he’s going to be when Jean leaves, I think.
8 Aug 2009, 18:44 pm
Bakkies MoM.
But Brussow very close.
Great game guys.
Scrum only weakness.
8 Aug 2009, 18:44 pm
Jacques invisible today.
8 Aug 2009, 18:44 pm
this spanish commentator keeps going on about pierre SPICE, wtf?
oh well another to the Boks, cant complain, 3 from 3.
Skitterend.
8 Aug 2009, 18:45 pm
Yeehaa!!!
8 Aug 2009, 18:45 pm
Jeeezzzz … I am not designed to watch full rugby matches … in fact I struggle to survive just hearing them whilst stoking a fire that no-one needs …
Bokkkkkeeeeee!!!!!
8 Aug 2009, 18:46 pm
david but thats rubbish because wynand olivier is better
8 Aug 2009, 18:46 pm
We may have won, but it’s a bit embarrassing to be outscored 2 tries to 1 with our possession and against 13 men at one stage.
8 Aug 2009, 18:47 pm
#209 SodaJoe: I saw him … he was there … tackled some … ran some … ‘t was him – for sure!
8 Aug 2009, 18:47 pm
3 out of 3 in the tri-nations!!!
8 Aug 2009, 18:48 pm
Oh well. Not our best by a longshot but ultimately another tick in the W column. Agree Soda. Bakkies was awesome.
8 Aug 2009, 18:48 pm
the young australian O’Connor looked very good, whenever he touched it.
Bok backline needs to start functioning, think its a good thing JdV is off, we need some penetration, its not getting past him, backs need to start hitting the line at pace and on the angle, they not looking good on attack.
8 Aug 2009, 18:48 pm
#214 David: why would you want to scorre more tries but then stil loose?
8 Aug 2009, 18:49 pm
It’s a win. But the Boks played terribly from the 35th minute.
A bit disspointing when they should have absolutely murdered the Aussies with 13 men. Our backline looks clueless. Is **** Muir adding anything?
8 Aug 2009, 18:49 pm
#214 David: Embarrassing? That’s a bit harsh. Humbled maybe, but never embarrassed.
8 Aug 2009, 18:49 pm
Bakkies for man of the match!!!!
8 Aug 2009, 18:50 pm
#219 Braloo: How about scoring more tries and winning more emphatically?
We cant always rely on our kicker to win the game by penalties.
8 Aug 2009, 18:51 pm
PdV is on his way to becoming our greatest pro coach
Three cheers for the great, little man
Hooooray, hoooray, hoooray!!!
8 Aug 2009, 18:51 pm
Can you believe how much I’m in heaven? We are the first team to win 3 games in a row. Good try Wallabies, shame you had to cheat so much, probably because your skills are pretty low. #1 team, Boks. 1 hand is on the Trinations Trophey. Deal with it.
8 Aug 2009, 18:51 pm
I think that the backs did not get any ball to play with tonight…yes our forwards are very good, but just think that we should try and move the ball wide more times…especially close to the opponents goalline!!!
8 Aug 2009, 18:51 pm
#222 Agree! he was absolutely immense!
8 Aug 2009, 18:52 pm
#222 Braloo: why can’t you rely on Morne if he is on form and winning you games!!!!
8 Aug 2009, 18:52 pm
George smith is brussow,s bunny
8 Aug 2009, 18:52 pm
Morne 24 points. 55 in the last 2 games!
8 Aug 2009, 18:52 pm
#223 wooden spoon: Yes we can but we don’t evidenced by the fact that we also scored a try.
8 Aug 2009, 18:53 pm
#225 Kobus Kitty: Are you telling me a Bok team has never won 3 in a row before?
Last I heard Nick Mallet’s team had 17 in a row?
8 Aug 2009, 18:53 pm
#224 Saffa_Guy: President Of The PdV Supporters Club: Nice!
8 Aug 2009, 18:53 pm
#223 wooden spoon: why can’t you rely on Morne if he is on form and winning you games!!!!

#221 Ezee-23:
FdP kicked far too much possession away with his up and unders. The Wobblies were very solid there and he should have realised that earlier.
8 Aug 2009, 18:54 pm
Well done PDV!!!
8 Aug 2009, 18:55 pm
Congrats to SA. Very close to taking the 3N now
8 Aug 2009, 18:55 pm
#214 David: Not at all. Our 3rd game in a row, intensity not upthere. All that matters is the win. In the past we scored more tries and still lost the game and it sucked! Rather have it this way.
Now Bokkies, for a well earned rest. Same as lst yr, the 3N’s in your hands, so please make it count this time. Put it beyond doubt in the 1st game in Perthfontein. That way you can relax the rest of the tour. GOOOO BOOOKKKKKKKKKEEEEE!!!!!
8 Aug 2009, 18:55 pm
Off to watch the late broadcast on SABC 2. Wanna see Bakkie’s tackle again. later!!
8 Aug 2009, 18:55 pm
#225 Kobus Kitty:
We’re also the first to have 3 home games in a row.
8 Aug 2009, 18:55 pm
The fact we’re winning on penalties is more a reflection of the negative spoiling play of the opposition.
Especially when you consider their 3 yellow cards, it’s pretty clear they were out to spoil and rather concede the penalty than the try.
8 Aug 2009, 18:55 pm
#210 cab: Because “Spies” is the english word for spioene which is pronounced “spaais”.
En daar het jy dit …
8 Aug 2009, 18:55 pm
#228 Braloo: because of the law of averages.
And when the law of averages comes to bite you in the arse, we all sit here crying when the other team has outscored us 2 tries to 1.
8 Aug 2009, 18:56 pm
#235 David: would also like to see the back three coming into the line a bit more!!!
8 Aug 2009, 18:56 pm
Perhaps they just need a break.
A Lions series win.
An AB series win.
All home games in 3N won.
They need a bladdy good pat on the back.
I believe this team (incl coaching staff) have the ability to win all their away games if they want it and hungry for it, they looked a bit off it it today – but I think they will rest and regroup and make a moerse impact at the Subiaco oval in 2 weeks time.
What a team, what a maestro!
8 Aug 2009, 18:57 pm
Oz conceded 19 turnovers … no wonder George Smith looks a bit of a sourpuss?
8 Aug 2009, 19:02 pm
#242 Windhoek.Lager:
ok dankie
8 Aug 2009, 19:03 pm
#244 Braloo:
Frans did come into the line, but there was no structure in the support. However, Frans did tend to die with the ball.
8 Aug 2009, 19:04 pm
Too many mistakes, i knew we would win at home but this performance will be punished overseas. We need to be more clinical in our play. The link between 10 and 12 is not good. I think we might have a situation were we have too many generals in that backline. We need PDV to fix this. Our backline play is diabolical!!!
8 Aug 2009, 19:04 pm
We pressure the opposition into penalities
Dominate the opposition at the collision point forcing them into errors
Literally suffocated the AB’s and Aussies out of their phase plays
Don’t allow them to get into their stride
