[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 694690, member: 40658"] Well done to Wales. It was very painful to watch. especially the schoolboy errors we were making. Why?? We beat the All Blacks but lose against Wales and Ireland, and all of a sudden people are saying HM should be fired. You can't win 'em all. Absolutely terrible! And it's a bit ironic, as Thursday just before this test, HM said that only JDV spot is safe for the World Cup. Now it seems that he might not even be available to play. This might sound a bit harsh on JDV, but it might just be a blessing in disguise. I hope HM can convince a guy like Frans Steyn or Jaque Fourie to reconsider playing again for the boks. As for the game. It seemed that we went back to our more defensive style of play for this tour. I thought Lambie had a rather poor game, he kicked everything away. And our decision making was especially terrible. Why would we kick for the lineout at 39 minutes from the 45m line, yet we kick at goal from the halfway line??? The time where JDV got injured, and we got yet again another bull**** call against us and a yellow card, was the turn of the tide. Just before JDV injury, we really started to make headway towards Wales' goal line. I though the MOTM was immense on taking on the biggar guys! and how he got up everytime just showed his commitment. But I think praise must go to Alun-Wyn Jones. He disrupted us entirely, wasn't afraid to cause ****les off the ball, and had a knack of slowing down the ball at the rucks, which the ref didn't penalise him for. Whenever we had an attacking line-out he targeted Victor Matfield, and stopped us from getting our maul going. Well done Wales, at least now we know there is a trend. Every 15 years we'll lose in Cardiff... Luckily we play a few games next year at that venue... [/QUOTE]
