And AGAIN!!
Well done France.
Boks would not have won this one with 17 players on the field.
France were commited, focused and a team to be reckoned with. BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO.
I second Prouster's call well done and VIVA LE FRANCE!!

I hear the whole front row has been sent home and REAL players have been sent over - Free State front rowers including Strauss apparently on their way.
Interesting. VERY interesting. |

Heita Bok,
I commend you on a very measured and restrained response. I think Uncle D1k has to take majority of blame (which he has already done) although I hardly think he wouldve picked that team on merit.
The powers-to-be obviously wanted to blood new players and my guess is some high ranking officials demanded it immediately following Boks recent success.
Result is now history. Will be VERY interested to see what mix of old & new is used for the remainder of the tour. |

I agree guys, What intenational sides need to realise is their playing a club team that not only has gelled together but are more then likely going to lift more then they have all season playing and international side.
Im a believer that if its the national jersey you wear at least 60-70% of the players should be your top line up, 3 or 4 up and comers (2nd string) and then pack the bench with inform club players and rookies. |

I think we tend to underrate these midweek games sometimes. I think SA should've included 3 or 4 topliners to stabilise the rampaging Tigers. More first class subs early in the 2nd half could've been on the cards too. But, thenagain, looking at the bench......yes, poor selection. And they can't blame Stu for the performance. That's just a cheap way to get out of the mess.
SA were simply out-done on the day. But they should have picked a stronger team.
The Wallabies got away with it during the week. The AB sneaked a 3 point win last year against a Welsh outpost.
Respect the opposition!!!
Good, fair comments though, Bok and Ad. Pity some of those other fans like Gristle-guts and other Aussie bashers cowardly hide under a rock!! |

| Have to agree with what you said Bok.However De Villiers was not in charge of this team who were only thrown together a week ago.Next week will be even tougher for them (Saracens).Lucky for the boks that the Tigers were not full strength otherwise we would have been thrashed.A more commited team won on the day and they got the scalp they deserved |

Congratulations to the Tigers, a good win.
I could lay into the Ref but as I never have I will not start now.
The blame is placed at the Boks for the lack of commitment and de Village Idiot for picking the team he did. He should have started with the team that brought us into the game in the last 12 minutes.
Had I had the pick, I would have made this game my first impression and blooded my new boy's at the end of 60 minutes.
