The game was good quality…. So many times today we played to fast and made unnecessary mistakes…..if we showed more composure at times, we could have had more points on the board….Willie kicked away to much possession where the ball could have been passed….Caelan Doris, van de Flier and Dan sheenan won the the break down battle for Ireland….Beard contributed quite well ….we have to mark these players better and hope we can be more competitive in the Second test….Kwagga came into his own later on in the game, but it wasn’t enough…i think Roos together with Kwagga and Marx starting, will make a better impact…..everybody was on Manies case about goal kicking, but Pollard had a disastrous day with the boot and his cross kicks is not as accurate as Manies….although Kriel was really good, on more than 1 occasion he held onto the ball to long where it just needed to go thru the hands for points….I am sure he will get it Right next time…..in my opinion Wilco should be called up as Frans is not as solid at the moment….Steenekamp did. very well….Ireland was quite good in disrupting our ball and driving malls but also walking a fine line….especially the loose head prop porter….there starting pack stood really solid in the scrum….overall the Boks played positive Rugby today and we must just keep on building on that.
We can thank Lowe for two brain farts that helped us seal the game.
