Wales v Springboks
-
TIme for our props to get cramp.
SA in ascendency.
Wales 21 - 22 SA
56 mins gone
-
SA lucky not to have yellow card for shoulder to AWJ head
-
Anyone's match with 17 to go.
-
Great lineout drive to within 5m for Wales but then blow the ball shift
-
Great patience and precision from Wales.
SA penalised for not rolling away.
Halfpenny with the three.
Wales 24 - 22 SA
67 mins gone
-
Brilliant from Faletau and Webb.
Make the Boks wirk for it.
-
Fuck we made that look hard.
SA by far the better team in the second half.
Big result for Wales in the context of the Autumn series.
Tried way more players at this level compared with last year.
And some found wanting and some very much played their way in.
-
Good second half from both teams.
About fitting that Hadleigh 'Jones' Parkes fella was MOTM
Navidi and AW Jones played well.
Jantjes will be kicking himself for sure for those 2 knock-ons. SA are a shadow of their former selves, reckon we may see an even greater exodus of SA players to these shores shortly. -

Evans - back to Scarlets
S Williams - start, sub, squad depending on combo

AWJ - start
Beard - start, sub, squad depending on combo
Rob Evans, Owens, Francis preferred front row (any of those injured, lottery) -
Thanks for taking the win Wales. This means we'll have another coaching team in the new year.
Are there any tier 1 coaches out there willing to risk their career in the position where their biggest threat comes from within South African policy? No takers? Early rumours indicate Peter de Villiers is the front runner for the job (yes, seriously)

SA doesn't have the coaching talent, and with the restrictive policies in place, you can be sure that foreign talent will remain exactly that.
SARU boys club are well and truly in a hole now since Coetzee refuses to resign, and without a performance clause in his contract, the cash strapped union will have to buy him out as he is only 2 years into his 4 year contract.

At least it's a healthy team environment!
You're going to have to choose soon SARU - pleasing the ANC, or staying relevant.

Keohane says that's incorrect. Spelling error.
"They have interpreted it wrong. It is Pieter (with an i.e.) the SA born former French prop who will join Rassie as scrum coach. Not Peter (er) former coach."

Hopefully, however, the article goes on to say that they are also looking at installing the current Kings coach, Davids as the Boks coach, you know the same outfit that is currently 0-10 on the Pro14 log. How's that for Window Dressing
Yup.. .Bok coach material that:

Can't Wanky Stick just take over?

It must be a piss take article because he is also mentioned. Thing is, news24 is a legit news site? Who knows. Maybe SARU cant afford to sack Coetzee, rendering all this talk moot.
Guess we'll throw the Home nations a bone for a while. And Italy. And Japan.
How long Does it take to get NZ citizenship again?

That's the spirit! The man has passion. And he's not a quitter.
Coetzee remains defiant: I will not resign
