Who is the attack and backline coach

assfly, if it's the same article I'm thinking of...didn't it simply suggest that he's not quite ready for test rugby but that he will be?

A bit of getting back at Sards, I think, who wants him in the Bok team, but the article was really about him not being ready yet, something many of us have been saying. He still has to sort out his defence and his game management.

Correct, I didn't see it as a harsh article at all.

I thought it was harsh. He's a teenager ffs, and the hype around him is based on some amazing performances against teams much stronger than what he's just faced.





I would like to see him nurtured into the Boks slowly, not necessarily playing for them this year. But somehow I can't see Kiwi scribes writing articles like this about Barrit or Carter when they were 19.

Don't mean to rain on your parade but that was a much weakened version of the side that won the 6N's. Not a vintage year for England at all.

TBH, the England flyhalf was a step or two above him on the day - same age and both on their 2nd JRWCs.

Unfortunately us Saffers, journos and supporters, tend to write players off very quickly

Malins is a real quality fly-half. No shame in being outshone by him.

If I remember correctly we've struggled against them in the past?

Strange to think we've got schools like Paarl, KES, Monument, Michaelhouse producing stars, and England have kids that don't really go to school, smoke on park benches and drink cider.

Which team played the 6N? England u20 And the JRWC? England u20. Personnel changes are irrelevant for the record books

I think what we all are saying, including the journo but except Sards, he's not ready for test rugby yet. Let him develop his talents and fix his faults. Even RdP doesn't feel he's ready for Bok rugby yet

The timing of the tournament play a huge role. Our players haven't played competitive rugby all year. They come off their season.

The SH needs an U20 tournament leading into the U20 WC.

That's how sad you are. If I rate a player you will slag him off just to make a point against me. That's being a doos.
And the fact that he's a threat to Junktjies if Junktjies doesn't get his shit together

Our coach was appointed only a month ago.

Chean yes. Who are the assistants

BS. Our players have been to practice camps and played matches since March, including a match against the Varsity Cup Dream Team

No, you want to make him a Bok and he proved that he's not ready to step up yet. Simple as that. Slagging you off though is for fun

So you are laying the blame for the loss at his feet.

You blamed Libbok but the Bokkies were leading by 5 with 5 minutes to go, on attack in enemy territory, when Bosch decided on an ill conceived and poorly executed drop goal which put England back on attack leading up to them eventually scoring the winning try. He wasn't the sole cause of the loss but he was a major contributor to it. Accept it.

What......did you watch the match.

The drop goal attempt was at the end . After the try was scored.

Apparently the English backline was almost 20 kgs per man heavier than our boys

It's entirely relevant when comparing the relative strength of our juniors. Losing to a weakened English side is concerning.

You're right, the drop goal attempt was after the try. My mistake. This doesn't change the fact that it was a poor decision given the situation in the game at the time with time still on the clock and the Bokkies in control inside the England half.

It just goes to show that you talk shit to try and degrade a player

How did I "degrade" him? At most I "downgraded" him to "Not ready to be a Bok yet".

You said his drop kick led to a try that lost the baby boks the match and he was a major contributor to the loss.


Maybe that is not clear in your mind but in my mind that is a personal attack on the player. Unwarranted and factually incorrect

To be honest, that drop goal attemps were stupid and cost us the semi final.

And Libbok playing the last 15 minutes like it was the first time he was on a rugby field.

TBH Libboks overcooked kick and the resulting try cost us the game...everything thereafter was despersate stuff to try and recover the lead in a very limited time............we can blame....the scrumhalf for not passing to the backline or the forwards...the forwards for not asking for the ball....the scrumhalf for a delayed pass which put Curwin under pressure...Jensra for being a dick about Curwin...Yankee for not watching the game again...Ouboet for talking up Lecock....Sandyvagina for being a doos.

I watched the last 30 minutes...enough to see why we lost the match.

It was dire

We won today easier then the previous France game. Look like Manie Libbok in 10 the difference.

Nonsense.

Fok oom moet jy heeltyd op ou freds post?

Al die nuus is hier viewtopic.php?f=3&t=82927&hilit=2018+jrwc

Jammer Jens, maar daar is te veel volksvreemdes wat hul kak post op daai draad. Ek wil graag hierdie een vir ons hou om ons laaities se vordering te bespreek.

Altho the score was close I feel we have won the match easily. Even with 14 at the end we nearly score and kept attacking which was nice to see. I To single out players are unfair but we will improve playing as a team. I do believe that this team have lots of talent, waiting to explode. One match at a time and Ireland wont be easy.

We nearly lost to Georgia!

We havent lost. In these tournaments its always good to scrape through in the round robins. When the real tournament (business end) start, you need to peak. You know Willemse, he struggled last night but you know he can play at the highest level. The same for most of them. Get positive for a change. You are going to get the same thing with Rassie and the Springboks. To be negative means vokol, then you should never watch / play sport.

We were shocking in the first half, but much improved in the second. People forget that twice we breached the tryline only to be called back by the TMO (Double movement & obstruction). We could have been out of sight .

Our replacements made a very strong impact.

The reffing was shocking to say the least.


Look like Sardyntjie & Handyman only watched the first half.

I must single out the replacement fatty. He made a massive difference.
