Bitter pill for Rennie, maybe best to keep quiet instead of all this media bull. Well done to the Boks.

Dave needs a Rennie for the heartburn Boks gave him😁

2 missed tackles by “the best” tackler of all time, Carter, and 2 tries. 🤣🤣🤣 Rennie is a moron.

Mngomezulu at 12 next to Manie looks good.

So according to Dave Rennie we win the series then?

S

Yes, you did - congratulations on the series win. The real test for us was always the matches in SA.

Deserved Boks. Too good in the set piece.

How were those last two tries by SA? Please let know as I am frustrated beyond frustration not being able to watch

Why does it look so tough to kick in this stadium. Driving me mad.

Well the second half is going to be a cracker. So wish I could be watching this instead of being at work. I am totally non productive 😁

Any chance we could watch the match without showing fans every single time there is a break in play I want to watch rugby not some fella or girl with some funny signs .I don't mind every so often but not every single play .we had to wait for 30 seconds before we could see the tip tackle.its a very frustrating watch …I know commercial element must be considered.but come on I want to see how players reactions to plays not someone in a stupid get up .any one agree or disagree

Fans want to be seen on the screen. They paid a lot to be there.

well, guess if the game wouldn’t be as tense as it is, you wouldn’t notice or care

B
BiltongKingSA 2 days ago

Most definitely. I get very frustrated myself.

BiltongKingSA 2 days ago

Unfortunately I am trying to follow on here as still at work but it’s going to be an interesting 2nd half. Just can imagine what is going to be said in the change rooms. I do believe all blacks have the speed and seem to have better skill so if they decide to open it up it’s going to be difficult for the boks.

C
CHILLI 2 days ago

All that scrum talk didn’t work out so well did it Rennie 😂😆😆😆

S
Steppin 2 days ago

So ABs should have 1 penalty try awarded and SFM has had 2 cynical yellow card offenses = red card… ABs up against the refs in SA once again but they look like they can take them out of the game

S
Steppin 2 days ago

SFM didn’t retreat to hind mans leg, came through the side and sweeped the ball back in an ABs attacking opportunity 5m from line. That is a yellow card every day of the week.

Morning Gents. I hope you are all keeping well.

Just a quick one. What are your thoughts on all this media hype and negativity surrounding the scrum?
