Lol you beat me to it. Not bad for an old bloke.

The balance is different with Smith in the mix. In Brisbane, Burger was on his ownsome because Kanko was not getting into the rucks. If you look at Soccer City, the Boks were committing more bodies to the ruck and they countered McCaw very effectively doing just that (Flip vd Merwe got there...

Lol, that's a good point.

Even more proof that PdV picks on reputation. Aplon deserved to be on the bench. There is no reason to have James on the wood with Steyn in the team And Kankowski ahead of Louw, who is the perfect insurance policy against Popeye. I guess Kanko could be there so they can pull Spies if he goes...

It was an absolute bitch. The sad part is it happaned in the last move of a Super 14 match and as the final whistle sounded two players fell on top of him.

Cape Town is a pretty good place to hang out. Pretoria and Johannesburg simply aren't. They are training at Bishops in CT (I think). It's in the shadow of Table Mountain. Stroll down the road for a Soy Late and to get your hair done after training. That sort of thing. In all seriousness I...

If you thought they went apeshit at Soccer City for Smit, wait until Vic jogs out at Loftus on Saturday. Man, I wish I could be there.

I don't think we are missing Bakkies at all. The other two will make a massive difference. For his first start, Flip did brillianlty and Danie is a top class lock and one of the best in the world. Du Plessis just offers so much more around the park than Smit, sadly.

Muttonchop: OK gotcha. For a moment I thought you're just poking me in the eye with a blunt object but I get you.

Not sure if you are trying to bait but the simple answer is always 100% If you are trying to bait, get fucked. Else, explain yourself better next time. :)

Yeah well Spies has lost his mojo but you and I both know Duane Vermeulen is the man.

I think the Boks will 100% devote themselves to not losing five in a row. That is more than enough motivation fore them. Has nothing to do with who they are playing.

There is no such thing as a certain try but jeez McCaw was lucky to not see yellow there. With all the moaning about MaCaw over the last few weeks you have to agree that it's only natural that an incident like that will send heads spinning.

I look forward to the contest between Spies and Brown. Who can do the least in 80 minutes? Moore has to start at 2, surely he offers more? Any chance of Rocky moving to 8 or can we assume that if it was going to happen it would have by now? Is the inclusion of Turner is the squad a...

Guess who missed the tacle on on-boot Nonu? John Smit.

There are many hookers better than Chilliboy: Gary Botha of the Bulls Anndries Strauss of the Cheetahs Craig Burden of the Sharks ...and the best hooker for SA in the Super 14: the Stormers Tiaan Liebenberg who would have test caps had he been born somewhere else SA is blessed with...

He has played for the Sharks for the last two weeks and was Man of the Match yesterday in the top of the table clash when the Sharks beat Western Province. The Battleship is steaming ahead. Pressure will be on Smit now. Apparently du Plessis has been able to train for months now but just...

On another matter. John Smit blames himself for missing the tackle on Nonu at the end, and so he should. There were two other occasions in the second half where any other international hooker would have got across in defense where it was obvious that he was just way off the pace. I am a massive...

Butch James was the closest we got to Lem. A very poor man's Lem though. One rule interpretation change has completely changed the role Steyn needs to play and I really think he is struggling and will continue to struggle. Having said that, he has been doing the stuff that he usually does well...

What is your point or are you just being wanky?
