I would put Moore and Bismarck about on par with daylight between them and the rest.

So if he was watching du Preez why did he jump into his head? If he was watching him he would nbot have jumped becuase he would have realized that he had no chance of getting to the ball. His jump was a snap decision to go for the man when you realise you canlt make the ball. Brain explosion...

So now Botha getting off justifies Gits getting off. Easy on the jelly beans boys. Just now you all start sounding like Naza. Then what would we do?

Has there ever been a player with less luck ito injuries? Shouldn't just hang them up, he should fecken burn'em.

Sorry but how in fucks name is that not a suspension? A few yards out he looks up at the ball. Then he looks down, takes another three or four strides and never looks up again but STILL JUMPS. No intention to go for the ball five yards away. Head high contact ensues. What more do you need...

Still think Cross should get a run at 13.

Agreed re Pumas although their play has always been very one dimensional and even more so when they unearthed their first really good punter since Hugo Porta.

People will tell you that Schalk Burger off the field in one of the nicest people you will ever meet, and they are not just Saffers. So see, it is irrelevant whether he is a nice guy or not.

I think it ,may have been suggested already but TPN should be considered as a converted THP. He is a strong mother. The scrum becomes stronger when he comes on at hooker.

Surely that's irrelevant. PS I don't want to sound like a whining Saffer. The inconsistency is driving me batty.

People have got one or more weeks for accidental contact with the head or face at a ruck. This was a head high scud missile hit without any attempt to go for the ball. The biggest let off sine I can remember. My first impression was that it was simply bad judgement. On watching the match a...

Well it's obvious stating that I won't be as perturbed about the state of play as I would have been if we were losing with this style of play. What I do like about the way the Boks are playing is the physicality and controlled aggression. It was what I was raised on so seeing it played this...

Dunno, of you go back and look at the penalties they mostly came becuase of pressure. I made the observation after the first AB test that the Boks had very few chances of scoring because ever time they threatened in range, the ABs gave away a penalty. Sure, they are not trying to play an...

Whilst in principle I agree with him that the Boks are one dimensional, he has been harping on about the same shit since the first Lions test without really making a point. This guy continuously displays a complete lack of understanding of the game through his weekly drivel. A Greek Kiwi...

I like that combination. But I'd play Palu off the bench and hope he can play himself into form. He was good last year and the previous but somehow blew hot and cold in the S14 this year. Horwill is horribly out of sorts, but again, play him from the bench. He'll come good. Tough decisions...

Given that situation again, 9 out of ten times Spies would score. Fantastic tackle. Hard and low. O'Connor will need solid man management. Steyn was well mentored early on but I think atr the Sharks for a couple of years he wasn't looked after. This year one gets a sense that he is well...

Odwa at the expense of Nokwe. :nta: Actually wonlt mind Schalk on the bench. Rossouw has lost some pace and was slow to the breakdown - part of the reason the Boks started to lose the breakdown edge. Stick Chalk on bench instead of Bekker.

I find myself wanting to rant and rave about the Boks inability to move the ball through phases and reluctance to take it wide. Sure they are playing a simple plan, but surely there are times they can move it. They have good runners and never use them. Anyhoo, hard luck Aussies. Just didn't...

Boks 19/16 One try each Late surge from the Wallabies but boks to hold out

I'll be honest that I really don't know what to expect in this game. Neither the Lions nor the ABs have played a clever game against the Boks. A good kicking game, with very good kick returns and chase, intent to move the ball quickly away from the recycles to minimise turnovers, and minimising...
