It's shocking

Baie dankie dat jy alyd die post match interviews so vinng oplaai.

Rassie says that south Africa weren't at their best, he's right but neither were the irish, james lowe was the difference between the two teams, what on earth was he doing??

[@riyaadrhoda3990]

You could see Tony Brown's hand in the attack of the Boks. Not perfect yet but they will only get better. Well done to the Boks for beating a very good Irish team.

Lets go next week

[@Aesyrbane]

I love Rassie calling Ireland the number 2 team repeatedly HHAHAHA. He's a genius haha.

[@africanmamba1021]

Sexton would be proud of his boys tonight , they played out their socks vs a very rusty boks side and I feel the result was as good as it could have been for Ireland … they should take tonight as a victory … James Lowe was really impressive .. his lineout save was immense , quality player .

@@BoomsRiddico4868 you are a pretty good translator m8 , I just feel they should be positive … you could see James lowes hard work payed off tonight , his line out save training showed … you can’t be hard on him … no one expected Ireland to come within 20 of this rusty boks squad and they exceeded everyone’s expectations , a massive positive .

Pls fix your sound

[@GeorgeFraser-z9h]

Why is Polard always favoured? He nearly lost us the test last night. Liebok should still be in the mix. Polard"s poor games are rationalized away! Only his good ones count.

[@Hard_Thinker]

It’s the result the bokke wanted, but there were some crucial issues that need improvement: dropped balls, missed kicks (both poles and line) and soft tries. Also need to find a solution to some Irish “cleverness”: players lying offsite (set a pod and run the play over the man, worst case they stop, best case they’re blown up for coming from an offside position), pop passes (have a two man tackle team with one to tackle and one to intercept the pass as they pop as soon as they feel the tackle), closing down the space at scrum time (be the first to close the gap and squeeze them for space). For Irish non engagement in scrum, just delay the engagement or SA hooker can bind on Irish prop along with tight head and both pull him in to engage. Then go back to traditional bind.

funny libbok is the worst player in the world for missing 2 kicks but pollard just has an off day missing 3 kicks and missing tackles atleast libbok made a try fed up with this bs masuku and libbok are better than pollard
