@Brentie1: #227
Are you saying that Morne “The Machine” Steyn could not get use to them in three weeks over there?

Let’s come up with another one, please.

No, stop the excuses. We lost against a better team on the day. ou cannot win if you don’t score points. In the 24th minute of the first half, Steyn dropped to give us a lead of 10-3. For the next 56minutes of the game, we scored ZERO points. Now you want to say it is the fault of the Bok management for not importing the Gilbert ball so that Morne can practise with it? When was he suppose to do it? The same week while he was practising with the “SA balls” for the CC final?

I REPEAT: WE LOST AGAINST A BETTER TEAM ON THE DAY.

@skopskiet: Skop @ 100. You really ARE a very astute man. Just looking at yr comments and relating them to time in the match. Ive said the same thing about Steyn, not enough variation to win big matches, esp on away terms. Good player tho. Just not enough outside the awesome kicking skills. Atleast RP threatened the line, FFS. Didnt do it, but it felt like it was coming.

NZ players play in the S12 final nearly every year and then go to Europe and win their matches. Don’t be a KOEK man.

In the 52 minute J Fourie took up the ball and was tackled by the opposition. Next thing the Irish scrum-half passed the ball to one of his team-mates. I wonder if Hondo saw that because I’m sure he would’ve if it was ADI.

Boy. am I glad ADI did not play yesterday. I can’t wait to see who the fall guy will be on Sunday.

@skopskiet: #215 I thought oom Danie had a good game. VM was KAK. FdP was KAK. Morne was KAK. WO was nog KAKKER. Funny. The last three are all BB back line players. @Kryger: #180 You forgot PdV.

Hmmm… the anthem-singing cost them the game. Again.

And the grass was too long. The light breeze wasn’t breezy enough. The young lady sitting in Row 11 wore a top that was too pink. The cop car driving past the stadium had a siren that broke the “world champions’” concentration just as they were preparing for a crucial scrum on the half-line. The loo paper in the chage-rooms was also too gritty. And the ref…

It’s the IRB’s fault.

People can’t blame the ref. He didn’t blow anything wrong just missed a couple things.

We are not tired. We are crap. Lame excuse. Half the team had three weeks off before the first test on the tour and the others had 2 weeks off.

Kak we just soft in the f’ng head, bang broek sh’t scared chickens.

We should have won all 5 games on tour – NOT only ITALY.

Pathetic .. useless.. no ideas… kak sleg… zero strategy… skop en trek rugby all F’ng 80 minutes long..

Hopeless … usleless palookas.

FDP. Smit. M.Steyn. OUT

Start again, I’m telling you, we don’t get it right now its tickets for WC… all the way back to the drawing board,.. or read the writing on the wall loud and clear and START AGAIN NOW!

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!
Good game boys, this is probably the best time in Irish Rugby history. Good to see the players hugging it out at the end as well.

@Springbokvel: They travel less. Our leading players are tired. Our management does not adjust for this.

The AB`s see these tours as a mission to strengthen their rugby dominance over the NH. Our guys see it as a burden. This is the difference between us and them. We have lost our aura.

No rugby lover.

The ref missed a whole lot. The majority of it went against the Boks

@sglazer: I really agree with blooding the new players. The results could not have been worse in any case.

Anyone could see the Boks were slow today. The leading players are tired.
