We were too nice. Which is not often what you expect to hear about us.
Every excuse in the book. You lot are desperate to blame anything except the real culprit - your rigid, one dimensional, kick the fucking ball away every fucking time, dull as dishwater game plan.
"But, but...it's in our
DNA!!!"
It has been pretty effective for us......................just ask the Poms how it felt in the RWC Final.
Can you quote me, from this forum, where this "it is in our DNA" thingy has bee used?
Sorry bro, wasn't suggesting it was a direct quote from you; rather a reflection of so many Saffer supporters' defensive responses to any criticism of the Boks' negative style of play, esp. since the Lions series.
It's almost like there's a huge mental block where they're afraid of chancing their arm before just kicking it again and again (Hansen rightly said during the Lions series that neither side wanted to play for fear of losing - reckon it was more an indictment of Gatland's stupidity, but still...). This disappoints the shit out of me (as you can probably tell), as the best Boks sides during my lifetime have had terrific attacking backlines, and knew how to use them.
But you fellas carry on reminiscing about the RWC Final 2 years ago...lots of ostriches in SA...
