Disappointing perfomance no question. The problem is not only consistency but discipline. At the breakdown instead of being all over that ball we tackle and then bloody 'roll away' (much like an obliging wife)- rules yes! But did you see how aggressive the AB were when the ball was on the ground. We were too worried about Matt Goddard. FdP, instead of picking up the ball wanted to put on Matt's kit.
I do not like Francois Steyn-singizwile about how levels of maturity,hee hee dropkicks....kwasha kwa cima.He sucks - DECISION MAKING. The last try shouldn't have been. How do you throw in the ball like that when the men are already on site and if you are throwing it in as F.Steyn who do you expect is on the inside to kick it.
The AB didn't necessarily play a superb game of rugby but they crushed us. No two halves are ever the same. They came back in the second half and had more steam than we did. Tit for tat. We humiliated them at Dunedin and in turn we got immensely embarassed at Newlands. I am dusting myself and moving on. Mara bo Percy bona should call it a day. No magic for his 100th cap instead he was not going to be outshined by Dan Carter's misses. Pathetic!

I totally agree with you with regards to discipline. Which brings about questions with regards to Matfield' sleadership attributes. We absolutely made the wrong decisions at the wrong time, like Matfield said. He actually was found wanting.
First half when we got full-arm penalties, instead of kicking for post we tried to getting of the line ouit (thrice in a row). He should have opted to go for post at least after realising that we failed to capitalise on our first line out in their 5m (not sure if Percy was gonna kick it over).
Never saw much of Frans when he came on (was downing those beers hard at Springbok Pub). I think we need to make-do without our Awesome-Foursome (Matfield,Percy,Butch and Juan). Their days are numbered. Even aboSchoeman and Ryk figured out the hard way.
As for Percy.......he father time has caught up. "he was not going to be outshined by Dan Carter's misses"....hahahhahhahahaha. thats a good one.
I'm glad Lady Bladen that we boith realised that the breakdown was 'shite'. We cant blame the ref.....
As long as we persist with the Gruesome Foursome, we'll continue to lose matches. They need to realise that their posistions are not guaranteed.
