[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 814043, member: 40658"] Wow... Just wow! So much hostility from the Argentine fans on this thread... You guys won! And yet you are still not happy?? Odd!! Victor Matfield's comments after the match is completely correct. We didn't play Springbok rugby, and if we tried to play Lions rugby, we also failed miserably. We have an identity crisis and it's showing on the field as each match progresses. It was just so disappointing to watch, and that I stayed up to watch that nonsense is just not what I want as a springbok supporter. I won't say much about Garces, I honestly thought his interpretations were consistent to either side, so let's leave it at that. Elton Jantjies was yet again a failure. Ruan Combrink's injury came at the worst time, he was unable to run and directly resulted in Argentina scoring their try in the corner. Teboho Mohoje might have been a bit high with his tackles, but I thought he was the only comitted player on the field for the Boks. It was clear that he was instructed to hit the guys higher than usual and disrupt them, like they did in the first test. Adriaan Strauss is a pedestrian. Lood De Jager needs to wake up. De Allende and Mapoe needs to learn how to tackle. If it wasn't for Goosen, Habana, Mohoje and Francois Louw and our props, we would've gotten a hiding! It was ours to lose, and that's exactly what we did! 3 different kickers used for goal attempts, and still all of them kicked below 50% success rate. I think we lost 15 points just out of missed attempts at goal. And why do we always have to play Argentina first?? the 2 more physical sides bashing it out, then gets a tonne of injuries on both sides, and then the Australasian sides gets to pick them apart afterwards. Congrats Argentina. [/QUOTE]
