@Jonathan_Witt And skew throw ins at the lineout seem completely normal to Gardner. But some micro movement of the ball on the ground is clear as daylight a knock on to him.
@Jonathan_Witt Our rucks are too slow. It’s a system issue, not just Reinach. Cleaners are slow, Reinach takes time to decide what to do waiting for players to get in position. We need to be MUCH more efficient at ruck.
@moi_pseudo Have you seen our attack isn’t using pull back passes or stack attack. Playing very flat. Squandered a try by going wide too early and not sticking to pick and go when 3m away from their try line.
@moi_pseudo What bothered me was poor quality ruck ball. We got our way with scrums, kicks and mauls but couldn’t do anything with it. AB’s seemed to target Bok hands and handling. Count at least 4 try scoring opportunities AB’s expertly spoiled. They were ready, we weren’t.
@haribaldijones In sport there are no benefits, only trade offs. Was surprised that AB’s let the Boks kick, scrum and maul. But they refused them clean ruck ball. Attacking the ball, slapping at hands, denying Boks any rhythm with ball in hand. Forced poor handling killed us.
AB’s were prepared. They enforced their will at key areas, especially breakdown. They let the Boks kick, scrum and maul but made sure the ball they got from there was poor. Fighting to keep Bok hands under pressure and ultimately end in an “un”forced error. Well played. #NZLvRSA
The 1st quarter will tell us plenty. If NZ handle the high ball, hold the scrum and Roigard gets quick ball, it’s game on.
But a scrum penalty, a dropped bomb and a Bok maul pen early? Then the AB’s will be in serious trouble. #RSAvNZL
@haribaldijones TMO axed him back with the AB 14 try right after. One look and stated, no evidence to overturn. Could tell the dynamic between them changed a bit. Quite funny really!
One of the absolutely coolest things I’ve ever seen in Rugby! It looked like Ma’a Nonu answered the Ka Mate with his single Kapa o Pango. Absolute chills!! #SHAvNZL
@GeesjeWes@guitar_hodlr@MaxduPreez@AdriaanBasson@PieterDuToit Ah, convenient. People who verify news with the media you trust are “seeking the truth”; everyone else apparently “cares less about truth”. It’s an efficient argument though: first define your preferred media as the truth-checker, then declare everyone outside its audience biased
@GeesjeWes@guitar_hodlr@MaxduPreez@AdriaanBasson@PieterDuToit So News24 is the “most trusted media house in South Africa” provided we first remove all South Africans who don’t trust or use News24 from the definition of “South Africa”? Wow! Starting to look less like a national trust survey and more like a customer satisfaction questionnaire
@MaxduPreez@AdriaanBasson@PieterDuToit Ek verwys bloot na die skakel wat jy gedeel het in antwoord op die persoon. Het jy dit gedeel as bewys van jou oorspronklike punt?
@MaxduPreez@AdriaanBasson@PieterDuToit Maar Max, nou skuif jy die doelpale. Eers is dit “the most trusted media house in SA”. Nou is dit “people who pay for mainstream media”. Reuters sê self die steekproef verteenwoordig “younger English-speakers, not the national population.” Dit was juis my punt.
@ErnstRoets Max haal n studie aan maar doen nie die moeite om die hele artikel te lees nie. Lyk meer of hy n Engelse, liberale en ryk deel van die land as verteenwoordigers vir alle Suid Afrikaners misgis. Dalk is Basson, Du Toit et al en News24 oulik vir hul, maar verseker nie vir almal nie
