Boks v Wobblies I
-
To our South African fans (the balanced ones), that is a tough loss. But even good teams have off days.
McCaw’s ABs got nuked by England in 2012. It reset them. Boks and their supporters needed that I feel. They will bounce back.

2012 we had norovirus running through the camp.

Not sure why the Boks decided to play touch footy instead of just bashing us.
Next week is going to be wayyyyy different

Sean Maloney sounding like he's ejaculating.
Big Seanny is an absolute top bloke and an absolute Rugby nuffy.
He's played various levels in Sydney and knows the landscape here very well - the good, bad, and ugly.
He's a champion for the game here and his love of the game is unparalleled.

Lots of people dont like his commentary style but i love it. He brings such passion to the game and his style is far more enjoyable than listening to a bland comments man

@DaGrubster I know. Still got reamed. Did the ABs a favour as it kept feet on the ground. Sometimes you need a punch in the nose to wake up.

@DaGrubster think he's also unfairly painted as one-eyed because pretty much the rest of the commentators from Australia are, when he's just incredibly passionate.

Boks looked either lazy or gassed. Wondering if they’re currently in between cycles
Or just pumping the odds for round 2 this week with whatever their version of the TAB is

They got outdone by space and speed. The Wallabies had a 1st 5 that knew how to exploit it also. Not sure they (Oz) get the same result with Lolesio is playing 10.

If your a Boks fan I don't think you should be that disconsolate. On rewatching the game, they had the game on their racquet but were undone by a series of poor tactical decisions and more importantly skill errors.
Plenty of times in the second half they rumbled down the field pretty easily, only to have a relatively soft knock-on kill their attack. And we ran a couple of those errors (or poorly timed passes) back for tries, so doubly hurtful.
I don't think they will win the next game by 50, but they would still be entitled to start as relatively healthy favourites. Especially if they look at 9-10 and maybe tighten the game plan a bit. Libbok reminded me a bit of Quade Cooper circa 2010 - occasional attacking brilliance overshadowed by poor defence and 2-3 complete brain explosions per game.

I thought Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu was their number one flyhalf.
Why wasn't he played last week?@Frank said in Boks v Wobblies I:

Why wasn't he played last week?Because their supercoach has created astonishing depth.

It's going to be "back to our DNA " comments all week I'd imagine. You know how they are going to play, but can it be countered?

Just read they should call Schmidt, "Pavlova", cos you know the Aussies are going to claim him. :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes: :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
