Match 7 - Jaguares vs Lions

It was a great defensive effort. The guys really made sure of their 1st time tackles and put a lot of pressure on the Jaguares. They did the same to us. The remarkable thing is that essentially the Jaguares are the 9th best test team in the world when they put on their blue and white jerseys.

Ons spel is baie staties, bestaande uit skrums en losmaalbewegings vanaf lynstande, en nou en dan uitbuiting van opposisie foute. Teen die top Kiwi spanne is dit nie goed genoeg nie.

Totale lys van offloads, meeste was 2 en dit is agter spelers en 1 deur Dayimani:

Herbst en Orie moet soveel moontlik saamspeel.

Was Mapoe se 94ste SR wedstryd vir die Leeus, 6 om te gaan vir 100, sal dit waarskynlik hierdie jaar bereik

Dit was Warren se 89ste SR wedstryd vir die Leeus en 68ste as SR kaptein.

Ek het die squad bladsy opgedateer met Saterdag se stats

Welldone boys met n baie goeie wen, ja ons was n paar keer lucky maar so ook die crusaders en hurricanes. As jy luck kry dan moet jy dit vat en gebruik. Net bietjie bekommerd oor ons backline, lyk alweer nie of daar enige magic is nie.

The Jags were camping on the offside line the whole match. There was no space for the backs to move. When the ball went through the hands, there was almost always a Jag defender to cut the move down. Not too many teams would have been able to look good in those circumstances. Once or twice, when there was a bit of space, the guys did look good. Many people have criticised Groom for kicking so much, but it was a tactic that worked on the day. I think that if we play against a team that does not have the line speed of the Jags, we will run them ragged. 

I just had a look at the stats, even Marx only made 4 meters and that is from 3 runs. Schoeman made 11 meters from 6 runs Orie made 0 meters from 1 run. Sadie made 1 meter from 5 runs. So it was just a tough day at the office all round.

So during halftime he told the boys to be a bit more conservative than normal, which is why they kicked a bit more and didn't try many offloads and any other fancy stuff. So I don't think we should be too concerned about the attack at this moment. Also, I don't quite understand the criticism aimed at Orie. First everyone says they barely saw him, then after the stats are displayed, now everyone says he should do more than just tackle, scrum and jump in lineouts. That is probably true, however it feels like everyone is looking for a reason to criticize him and I don't know why. What did the guy have to do when no other players also stood out with making breaks or meters? Not even the backs made a lot of meters/breaks.
