Damian de Allende misses yet another tackle

For a second time in 2017 under coach Allister Coetzee, the Springbok conceded a record score – this time, a 3-38 defeat to Ireland.

Here’s how the players fared:

15 Andries Coetzee
Kept his cool under pressure to step before a kick return. Looked good at times with some tackle breaks, but made some bad decisions at times as to try and run out of his 22 instead of clearing
5/10

14 Dillyn Leyds
Didn’t do much initially and had very little to work with and did some good things as a tap back from a high ball to retain possession. Got smashed in the tackle after taking a ball on the front foot from Pollard and lost it forward. Tried hard but just didn’t have many opportunities. Held his own in defence.
5/10

13 Jesse Kriel
Didn’t impress either. Got sucked in on defence by the Ireland set moves. Made a good half break, but runs sideways too much and got tackled by Aki into touch. Killed space plenty of times and made silly errors.
3/10

12 Damian de Allende
Kicked away good possession when the Boks had an overlap to work with, not very good decision making. Got caught by a rush defence from the Irish and not getting the ball away in time to his outside backs and looked unfit and out of form. His selection should really be questioned.
2/10

11 Courtnall Skosan
Good back tackle on Conway after a good set move by an Ireland that stretched the Boks defence. Did well under the high ball initially, but then lost a high ball backwards which Conway pounced on and went to score. Missed a pass from Kolisi where he could have scored. Also got sucked in a lot with Jesse Kriel on defence and opening up space for Conway out wide.
4/10

10 Elton Jantjies
Didn’t control the game well from the start of the match. Got his penalty over to get SA on the board, but was outclassed by Sexton
4/10

9 Ross Cronje
Mixed start with his tactical kicking, service was satisfactory from the base, but need to work on his decision making. Also didn’t have the best ball to work with from his pack
4/10

8 Francois Louw
Didn’t have all his way at the breakdown, carried and defended well. Won a penalty in the second half with Malcolm Marx to get his side in Irish territory. Conceded a penalty at the breakdown after being warned by the referee to leave it. Lost a good ball on attack as well and was nullified on a few occasions. Defended well though.
5/10

7 Pieter-Steph du Toit
Didn’t really make a big impact initially, but came into the game well later on and won a crucial turnover later on when Ireland had a maul rumbling at the Springboks’ tryline. Won a lineout on an Ireland throw. Conceded a breakdown penalty which Sexton converted.
5/10

6 Siya Kolisi
Had a quiet game, but was good on defence, as usual, ran a good line on attack, but was isolated and concede the penalty for holding on. Threw a good pass to Skosan who could have gone on to score, but he couldn’t catch it. He had better games before.
5/10

5 Lodewyk de Jager
Did OK with his ball in hand play and work at the breakdown as well as in the lineouts, but didn’t do anything more than his basics.
4/10

4 Eben Etzebeth
His intimidating bruising self in his carries and work rate, but also made a questionable decision to go for the lineout instead of reducing the gap to 11 points when trailing 14-0. Did well in the lineouts as well.
6/10

3 Coenraad Oosthuizen
Went off in the second minute due to injury, replaced by Wilco Louw. Not enough time to be rated.

2 Malcolm Marx
Had a Good first lineout win. Made some good carries as well and making meters for his side. Won a penalty at the breakdown with Louw at the start of the second half to get the Springboks in the Ireland half.
5/10

1 Tendai Mtawarira
Conceded a scrum penalty in the second minute of the match, made up with some solid carries and made meters for his side later on. Lost a ball on attack in the second half and didn’t carry as well to his standards.
4/10

Replacements:

23 Francois Venter (on for De Allende, 56th minute)
Certainly had a better game than De Allende, yet failed to impress and didn’t do much for the time he was on.
4/10

22 Handre Pollard (on for Jantjies, 56th Minute)

Fell awkwardly after taking a kick from Conway and slid into touch gifting Ireland territory and possession. Took the line on well, but didn’t contribute much afterwards.
5/10

21 Rudi Paige (on for Cronje, 68th Minute)
Not enough time to be rated

20 Uzair Cassiem (on for Kolisi, 68th Minute)
Not enough time to be rated

19 Franco Mostert: Not used

18 Wilco Louw (on for Oosthuizen, second minute)
Struggled surprisingly in the first 10 minutes at scrum time with Mtawarira. Held well later on in the scrums, but wasn’t much in the game. Conceded a penalty for pre-engaging late in the second half
5/10

17 Steven Kitshoff (on for Mtawarira, 54th minute)
Was solid initially, but then struggled in the scrum later in the match, didn’t have his best game either and was outplayed by his opposite at times.
5/10

16 Bongi Mbonambi(on for Marx, 68th Minute)
Not enough time to be rated

Ulster boss Richie Murphy levels accusation at Leinster after heavy loss

There’s a lot to unpick in your comment but let’s start with the obvious and that is that you clearly don’t know what the budgets are and therefore cannot state that they are equal.

Neither do you.


Now you mention stadia, sure Ravenhill and the RDS are comparable but Leinster don’t play most of their games at the RDS anymore, do they?

They play most of their matches in the Aviva because the RDS is being redeveloped for capacity. You’re assertion that Leinster will not play in the RDS again is utter hogwash and a conspiracy theory (if even that).


So fanbase, sure Leinster have a larger fanbase and that’s a direct result of being, by a considerable distance, the largest urban population on Ireland, aided further by the absence of any top tier football teams that similar cities across other countries have. Once again an inherent advantage over the other provinces.

The population of Leinster is 2.9 million. The population of Ulster is 2.3 million. The population of the Dublin Urban area is about 1.3 million. If you quote 2 million at me, we can go for an 80 mile walk over the Wicklow mountains, not meet a house and not leave the ‘Greater Dublin Area’. If you were Irish you would know this. The population of Belfast urban area (including Bangor etc) is about .75 million. Not a major difference. Most of the soccer in Ireland is played in Dublin City so not an inherent advantage. A fact you just ‘Made up’ right?


Now Belfast has an element of this but it’s very much smaller in scale. Munster and Connacht, pretty negligible by comparison.

Yes, there are less private schools in Belfast but Ulster contributors here are clear that it is how they are managed. If you are saying the private school rugby playing population in Munster is negligable then you haven’t a clue. Any Cork player is private. Any Limerick player more or less community. Anyone who knows anything about Irish rugby knows this. Where do you think ROG POM and all those Cork guys came from? FEE paying schools.


Now what does that tell us about budgets when Munster were told to release Snyman last year who just happened to end up at…Leinster!

Munster were NOT told to release Snyman. They had 4 overseas players and were told to reduce it to 3, as all provinces must. They chose to Keep Jean Kleyne and release Snyman. That was a cock up by Munster but how can you blame Leinster for this? Leinster are allowed no more than 3. When Barrett goes, then they are entitled to bring in Ioane. Munster and other provinces will benefit from this sabbattical template Leinster use. Yet it is now being used to attack Leinster again?


Obviously you are free to comment about Irish rugby. But please stop with the BS.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN BITCOINS ARE LOST OR STOLEN? Hire FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY.


Recovering stolen Bitcoin can feel like an insurmountable challenge, especially after falling victim to scams that promise high returns with little investment. My journey began with excitement when I first learned about Bitcoin mining pools. The idea of earning substantial profits from a modest investment was enticing. I was encouraged to invest $5,200, and soon found myself caught in a web of endless demands for more money to access my funds. As time went on, I paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars, believing that each payment would finally unlock my investments. However, the requests never ceased, and I soon realized I was trapped in a scam. The weight of losing $826,000 worth of Bitcoin was unbearable, and I felt utterly helpless. I reached out to authorities, but their responses were disheartening, leaving me feeling even more isolated in my struggle. In my desperation, I even went to pray, seeking guidance and hope in what felt like a hopeless situation. I poured my heart out, asking for a sign or a way to recover my lost funds. It was during this time of reflection that I began searching for solutions online, hoping to find a way to recover my investments. That’s when I stumbled upon FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY. At first, I was cynical. After all, I had already been deceived so many times. However, I decided to reach out and share my story. The team at FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY was understanding and compassionate, assuring me they had the expertise to help me recover my stolen Bitcoin. Within hours of providing them with the necessary information, I began to see progress. They guided me through the recovery process, keeping me informed every step of the way. It was surreal to watch as they worked diligently to trace my funds and navigate the complexities of the blockchain. To my astonishment, I received confirmation that my Bitcoin had been successfully recovered. The relief and joy I felt were indescribable. I had almost given up hope, but FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY proved to be the lifeline I desperately needed. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I urge you to seek help from the Reputable team at FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY, The solution Company.

EXPERIENCE LOST BITCOIN AND USDT RECOVERY EXPERT - CONSULT FUNDS RECLAIMER COMPANY


The ruthless world of cryptocurrency, where scams lurk behind every pixelated corner, losing Bitcoin can feel like a freefall into oblivion. I was there stranded in that abyss, clutching fragments of false promises after a sophisticated investment scam stripped me of $75,000 in BTC. Desperate, I scoured forums and recovery services, only to encounter bots, skeptics, and opportunists. Then came FUNDS RECLIAMER COMPANY: not just a service, but a revolution in redemption. What makes FUNDS RECLIAMER COMPANY extraordinary isn’t merely their technical prowess though it’s unparalleled but their unwavering commitment to turning victims into victors. Within hours of my inquiry, their team mapped out a forensic blueprint of my case. No sugarcoating, no guarantees just raw, transparent strategy. “Cryptocurrency scams are labyrinths,” their lead analyst warned, “but every labyrinth has an exit.” Their confidence wasn’t arrogance; it was earned through years of decrypting the undecipherable. The recovery unfolded like a cyber-thriller. FUNDS RECLIAMER COMPANY employed legal diplomacy to chase my funds across three continents. They navigated anonymous wallets with the finesse of hackers-turned-heroes. When my stolen BTC landed in a Seychelles-based exchange, their legal team froze the assets within 48 hours a feat I’d been told was “impossible” by others. Communication was their superpower. Daily encrypted briefings, real-time tracking dashboards, and even midnight Zoom calls to ease my anxiety they treated my case like a personal mission. Their lead investigator, Mark, became my lifeline, decoding complex processes into simple, actionable steps. “We’re not just recovering coins,” he reminded me. “We’re rebuilding trust. ”In 10 days, the unthinkable happened: 92% of my Bitcoin was restored. But FUNDS RECLIAMER COMPANY didn’t vanish after the win. They provided a post-recovery toolkit hardware wallet guides, scam-spotting seminars, and a direct line to their team for future crises. They turned my trauma into empowerment. To anyone doubting if stolen crypto can ever resurface: FUNDS RECLIAMER COMPANY is the answer. They’re not miracle workers; they’re master strategists in a digital warzone. In a landscape where hope is often another casualty, this team doesn’t just recover funds they resurrect faith. If your crypto nightmare feels endless, let FUNDS RECLIAMER COMPANY rewrite the ending. They did more than retrieve my Bitcoin; they gave me back my future.
