Die Snor still has 4 years to get shait right, cause nothing other than defending the World Cup matters in the bigger scheme of things..... Hopefully come Saturday Die Snor and the Manne wouldve had a long hard think about things and come out firing on all cylinders.....show them Aussies that we not sheep and we definitely not being shagged.....

PDV is trying to build on a foundation that is non existent, contrary to the ABs who have a tradition of running rugby combined with some solid forward play. They the Abs after all got their name from a misnomer during their first tour to the British Isle.A journalist described them as 'ALL BACKS' based on their marvelous running skills. This got printed in the next edition of his paper as 'ALL BLACKS' a name that since that day has stuck like super glue. THe problem is that our domestic teams in the

I cannot see how you can see this as wonderfull play. I feel that this is the worst game of springbok rugby I have ever watched. By the way, the stadium started exiting well before full time. I guess they felt the same way. Having said that, I am still on the fence as to continuing with this approach or not. But if we do continue with this loose style, it better start comming off soon.

Great libretto...although you did seem overly giving to a poor performance. Personally I was not pleased with it, as Im sure no one else was. Hardly ever do I change to watch anything else when the Boks play, other than the odd ManYoo game...but this weekend I could not take my eyes off the Olypics and more so the silly jogging antics of a Mr Usain BOLT! Let that be...back to the Boks We were not composed, and forgot that running rugby does not happen in the 1st 5mins of the game! Its comes after 5, 6 or more phases of relentless pressure, sucking in the numbers and tiring the opposition out! Not when its 7 on 7 on the 10m line. Big Vic, wow...dunno if all the bitching (in that manner rather) was necessary. We need a leader to calm the lads down and bring BACK THE BASICS! We have one of the most telent backlines in world rugby, but then we let that imposter to a black jerey Conrad Smith, run ROUND Butch! I don't know if bring Fourie back right away was all that good, taking into account Ricky has kinda been on form. There's form and there's histoty\a name...I think Ricky has the former, and at this stage of the tourney, I think the former proves a winning formula. I think we'll beat Oz this weekend. As for 4 tries, thats something else...The Shark Tank is a cauldron of greatness... Bring on the Aussies (excuse the random blabbering, Im still in awe of Bolt! How can the guy jog 20+ meters and CLEARLY break his own record...effortless...wow) Hey China…

Give up your day-job and lets get your eloquence on TV. I'm tired of hearing the bleating every week that we are the worst - and then every other week that we are the best. We played wonderfully on Saturday, were a little unlucky at times and the All Blacks played smarter and won. That is not a national disaster - just a game of rugby. Next week will be different - and the week after that different again. Get your face on TV and help us grow up. Siya,
