Finaal - Vrystaat vs Leeus - LionsWorld Forum

Ja ek is trots op die manne ja daar is baie om aan te werk maar daai tweede helfte was beter en ek dink ons het due drui gevoel

Terrible eerste helfte maar hierdie span het iets... byt vas met hulle.

Ongelukkig hetfoute op kriteke tye in die eerste helfte ons die game gekos.

Marnus Schoeman en Madosh, wie beide baie goed was die jaar, het shockers gehad itv balhantering en onnodige dom strafskoppe wat hulle afgestaan het.

Marnus het by 2 of 3 lynstane op die aanval die bale verloor as ons begin maul. Hy het ook n paar baie elementere strafskoppe by die afbreekpunte afgestaan.

Madosh knock ook die bal 2 of 3 keer op die aanval.

Ross se boxkick wat afgestorm word eindig in n drie.

Greene sal sy spel moet afwissel met slim taktiese skoppe, en nie net elke keer reguit in die verdedigers vashardloop nie.

Positiewe is dat ons jong pak glad nie teruggestaan het vir hulle groter, meer ervare vrystaatse ewekniee nie.

Spelers wat vir my goed was is Simelane, Ruben Schoeman, Stean Pienaar en Reynolds, behalwe vir daai blaps met die strafskop wat hy agteruit geskop het.

Ons het die eerste helfte die game teen onsself verloor, maar amper kom klop ons jong spannetjie die room van die vrystaat in hulle eie agterplaas

Marius vd Westhuizen should be ashamed of himself, he ruined the game as a contest. The policing of the scrums, breakdown and offside line boarded on the absurd.

Ek het net dele van die game gesien, meestal in die eerste helfte. Mens moet seker wag om te sien hoe die manne perform in Superugby maar ek kan nie help om te wonder of iemans soos n Green en Simelani ens so lekker om en deur teenstanders sal kan hardloop soos in die CC nie. Klein en nippy is nie noodwendig n wensresep teen NZ nie. Maar dalk verras hulle ons. Ek is nie n Reynolds fan nie maar dit wat ek van hom gesien het Saterdag was rerig goed. En dan laastens, Ross Cronje was op sy dag n baie goeie speler. Maar dis nie meer sy dag nie...

Ross did the job of a no 9 very well on Saturday. He was at the breakdown point pretty quickly, got the ball to Reynolds or the first receiver quickly. Where we were not smart was using chip kicks and grubbers to force the Cheetahs to stand back a bit. They knew what to expect from us, and therefore we were very easy to defend against. As well as Ross played, Ruan played even better, and that was the real difference between the 2 teams.

Still immensely proud of the boys. Average age 22 years old. Cash in only his second season as head coach in the Currie Cup. That tells me we have a great future ahead of us.

Everyone has his own opinion, but comparing Ross to Ruan Pienaar would be like comparing a cart horse to racing thoroughbred. The difference was that great. Ross, very much like players such as Robbie Coetzee and Andries Ferreira, are honest players that perform OK when surrounded by experience and class, but certainly not the type of "expierience" (such as Ruaan Pienaar), who will guide an inexperienced outfit to greatness.

Mylpale in Saterdag se finaal teen Vrystaat: Jan-Louis la Grange het in sy 10de Curriebeker wedstryd gespeel, en dit was Nathan McBeth se Curriebeker debuut vir die Leeus

Late change for the Lions on the bench, James Venter at no 23 in place of Jamba Ulengo

Om te dink hy sou nie eers gespeel het nie, en toe druk hy 2 driee van die bank af...ek is nogal jammer ons verloor hom, hy is regtig 'n speler wat alles gee

Stem, hy is n goeie speler. Daai 2de drie van hom het hy my baie aan Jaco Kriel laat dink.

Venter is a loss, but I am not sure why tsituka didnt make the side , if he is the man for the future , then surely he should have featured

Think he was carrying a niggle.
