[QUOTE="saulan, post: 905146, member: 60236"] The most entertaining thing about that entire game was the twitter feed, honestly the only thing keeping me entertained, some of my favourites: Footage related related: "The camera man is hammered drunk." "Can the camera people be subbed at half time? My god" "**** me, that conversion kick actually disappeared off my screen" "Nice to see the USA recycling more by using TV graphics off the 80s" "I like the rainbow screen. Keep that on please" (Referencing the consistent cut of footage) Game related: "All neutral fans should be supporting Wales as frankly no one with Elton Jantjies haircut should be allowed to win a test match" "We reckon the Springboks have kicked the ball more in this stadium more than DC United did in a season" "I managed to capture a picture of the highlight of the game so far" (Attached with a picture of the "apologise for loss of pictures" screen) The only two on the Bok side that enhanced their reputations were Esterhuizen and Kitshoff. Our scrumhalf spent half the game aligning his forwards in the perfect formation for box kicks. Elton Jantjies was meant to be an experienced player and I think just put more pressure on the rest of his backs. Our scrums were average in the first half and our only effective attacking option was give ball to Esterhuizen > Esterhuizen run straight. On the referee, I think he was fine in terms of no bias and being fair, but I think he had a negative impact on the game if the aim was to give a spectacle in the US. I put quite a bit of the failure of the first half in terms of entertainment lacking on him. He let the scrum reset about five times every time, seemed scared to make free kick or penalty calls on it until near half time. Really should have been at most one reset and then from that point free kick and penalising the team at fault. He lacked control and as a result both teams I think stuffed around in the scrums when they felt they didn't have the dominance. [/QUOTE]
