(2022 Rugby Championship - Round 3) - South Africa v Australia (27/8/2022)

What is happening right now :S

Well.. boks placed willemse on the wing to have steyn on fullback. Almost as if the bok coach have never been a head coach ... oh wait.

 

[Jer1cho]

Worst we have payed in a very long time. Faf I would rate a 0. No one above a 4. Just pathetic.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Mad how as soon as the Springbok players leave Sale, the Springboks form drops off a cliff

 

[ChicagoKid]

Inability to get a half time lead and overall poor performance is killing Boks. Pollard poor after being excellent versus ABs

Lol this criticism is so daft.

You are not wrong. Pollard missing several easy kicks, Faf's stupidity, Steyn dropping the ball like that, tons, tons of silly penalties... not your day. It happens.

To be honest, kinda flabbergasted some here are arguing what Faf did is not a YC. Sure, Nic milked it, but there has to be milk in the teat for someone to be able to milk it.

Bok props with more vision and ball skills than the bok backs

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Great line from Koch,
Get him in the backline

So you agree that willemse should play wing ? And that steyn is still a international player ? Or have you seen Nienaber been a head coach before ?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What a waste of everyone's time that TMO check was

 

[rN_X]

Final score flatter the boks. They were very poor today. Well done Aussies.

Rassie is in Australia and the DOR. He is picking the teams with Jac. Educate yourself just a bit.

Aus went away from the game plan that was working and ****** away an easy bonus point there. Brilliant win but the shine taken off.

Tupou off the bench was a 16th Springbok.

What happened to Tupou?

Nick white extracted milk out of an indifferent pebble on the ground, never mind an empty bottle. Faf should not go for the ball as he would have been pinged for a deliberate knockdown if he got to it but then he oh so slightly stroked Nick's left cheek. Which caused Nick to go into a ferocious spin, falling down dramtically, in what looked to be the most serious injury of his career.

Who is the head coach ? Do you know ?

Is Willemse a wing ?
Is Frans Steyn currently on international standard ?

Did rassie put Willemse on the wing ?

Well done Australia, I hope you guys can use this to start building some fan hype and getting bums on seats again.

 

[Grizwald]

Great win for Aus. Really shouldn't have gave the bonus point away though.

Rassie has said publicly that the final decision stays with him. He has said this multiple times. Go talk to him.

Frans seems off it at the moment but to be honest the whole team did. Small commendable actions here and there, Willemse was maybe the only good player.

This might not be the worst thing for us so close to the world cup. Never good to go in overly confident. We have time to work on these off displays, players will need to start peaking from a condition POV soon. Boks need to assess whether we need another Attack voice in the coaching team.


Let's get back to the drawing board and we will come back stronger, the players are still there for that.
