Boks v Wobblies I
-
@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?Because their supercoach has created astonishing depth.

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

I am wondering if their depth, outside of a few, is anything more than a heap of reasonable Super level players.

Libbok's performance alone looked like a 10 playing dirty thirds. Some good stuff, followed by brain farts and dreadful passes.
That may be his worst ever game - I don't know - but there's no way that was Test standard for a Springbok team. Now in the recent modern era even All Blacks have been given another opportunity to "flush the dunny" but I don't subscribe to that. To enforce standards they should be holding tackle bags until they demonstrate they're worthy of another chance.

Only watched the highlights but just saw a tweet, did the Boks really do the midfield lineout with 8 mins to go whilst 11 points behind?!
What am I missing here ..... I also only saw the highlights.
A midfield line out?
EDIT. Oh, I see now. Not a lineout, but during general play they do a line out move.
A Rassie special?
