Match 29 - Waratahs vs Lions

Ons het jittery gelyk in meeste afdelings behalwe lynstane.

Ek wonder hoevvel games dit gaan vat vir die ouens wat laasjaar Joey se kop geeis het, om Sean Erasmus se kop te eis......

Geen afrigter gaan suksesvol wees as jy in 3 jaar se tyd 14 springbokke verloor nie.

Ons was naief op defense, en Gardner het n paar blapse by die skrums en rucks begaan.

Phase play was again predictable, one off runners from standing starts with little support. Scrums were a strength now not so much. Backs hardly get the ball in space and have to run into traffic. Tackles are missed all over the place. Subs seem to be decided before the game, come on too late and make hardly any impact. The only 3 positives I saw were 1. lineouts were massively improved (Campher seemed better at hitting the right man but it could also be extra training or luck); 2. scrums were not the walking penalty they have been - although they still weren't great and 3. Dayimani brought energy that brought others into the game (could have been the Tahs were just tired by that point).

We look like an invitational team who have had a couple of training sessions and are only scoring any tries because they are good players, not because of any plan or coaching. The job of a coach is to make a team better than the sum of their parts - though coaching, tactics and motivation. Right now we have a solid team on paper that is massively under performing. Every game is making it painfully clear that we are badly coached and our coaches way out of their depth.

It is going to be a very, very, very long season at this rate. I would rather watch a team of Campher, Sadie, Alberts, Dayimani, Van Den Berg, Jantjies, Skosan, Rass, Simelane and Green (at fullback) because they would play exciting rugby win or lose.

Well said, agreed.

I still can't believe we didn't even get a BP.
