The Springbok of 2022 like an unserviced, unwashed super car from 2019. All the speed & power buried beneath layers of dirt and grime from neglect. Nothing a good polish and tune up can’t fix, but are the coaching staff prepared to pull up their sleeves and make tough decisions

[SpringbokDrawingBoard @ScribblingSport]

@StefanT15 @AllBlacks Just once I’d like to see our players stand up to the Haka and relay a challenge of their own. Respect sure. But a god culture no!!

[SpringbokDrawingBoard @ScribblingSport]

@bigboutya1 True. Wouldn’t say Jake the answer but perhaps the way we approach the game mentality as youngsters. Enjoyment creates culture. It’s seems our ‘enjoyment’ is lacking in attitude. Look at Willie’s body language. So negative like a kid who’s lost his lollipop

[SpringbokDrawingBoard @ScribblingSport]

@jwcoetzee @StefanT15 AB’s get so many 50/50’s going their way it’s becoming a farce. Perhaps it’s subliminal on the refs part. Either way it’s happening. Pumas weren’t robbed today, but again a few calls against them at critical stages and the pressure would’ve been on. Bring on the return game.

[SpringbokDrawingBoard @ScribblingSport]

@bencoles_ The opposition are playing against more than just the AB’s. Incredible how many calls go for them and that at critical stages. Sure you play what’s in front & make your own luck but it’s really starting to become more & more obvious that 50/50 go against anyone playing the AB’s

[SpringbokDrawingBoard @ScribblingSport]

The problem with the #Springboks at the moment is that they don’t have the players who look like natural ball players. Strong yes, but lacking “feel” for the game. Today on attack was monotonous and never looked like scoring.

[SpringbokDrawingBoard @ScribblingSport]

@RobHouwing Time to add a coaching rating for the day? Tactics, selection etc? Rassie the first to admit he got Saturday horribly wrong. Maybe a 2/10. But great to hear him admit as much and you get a sense he’s going to fix it.

[SpringbokDrawingBoard @ScribblingSport]

@4KobusWiese Tell me Kobus how can we in SA with our supposed best rugby schools and playing numbers etc not produce at least one decent all round quality no10? Is it selection at a young age? Can our selectors actually select etc etc? Makes zero sense.

[SpringbokDrawingBoard @ScribblingSport]

Frans Steyn for fly half!!! Let’s just do it now and get it over with. I can’t believe that in SA with all our great rugby schools etc we still can’t find or produce a top quality no10?

[SpringbokDrawingBoard @ScribblingSport]

@4KobusWiese I think it’s finally time to realize that our players just don’t have the skill set nor the will to constantly perform at the highest level. Pumas running & passing game miles ahead of anything we dished up. Who would ever have thought..

[SpringbokDrawingBoard @ScribblingSport]

@craigray11 I’m expecting a dodgy ref decision or 2 against us

[SpringbokDrawingBoard @ScribblingSport]

@RuggaWorld The player going up needs to also look out for himself. Zero intent from defender. So grey area there or otherwise just don’t even bother contesting.

[SpringbokDrawingBoard @ScribblingSport]

@iamjonnyking It’s actually becoming embarrassing for the AB’s how much the refs seem to favor them wether they like it or not, worthy or not. They definitely get all the calls their way.

[SpringbokDrawingBoard @ScribblingSport]

Here’s a thought. Do the All Blacks “practice” falling “uncomfortably” to milk cards & penalties? #ABsvFRA

[SpringbokDrawingBoard @ScribblingSport]

Allblack cheating refs again #ABsvFRA

[SpringbokDrawingBoard @ScribblingSport]

@JudgeRugby Gelant at 15 with Willie at 10 last 20min sounds ridiculously exciting. Pollard might find himself at 12 for stability

[SpringbokDrawingBoard @ScribblingSport]

@theblitzdefence Always in favor of the AB’s. Borders on cheating. And yet they still carry on about that forward pass in 2007...

[SpringbokDrawingBoard @ScribblingSport]

@FrontRowGrunt Felt more like a Disney kids sports come from behind kind movie. I still can’t believe it actually happened. I would have walked out the cinema thinking not another boring cliche that never happens in real life.
