Did any of you see this?(Guessing you have) Talk about TMO's making up rules on the spot...

Not sure what the reference is to HTS Middelburg(we were in Nelspruit), but class was never a sportsman's dream at school. Sitting outside was always more fun. He played a few games for the Pumas after school, and then went for trials at the Free State when Rassie was still coach, apparently...

Another overrated WP player. Kidding. A monster, and a certain IRB world player of the year candidate. Went to school with him, and he was very skinny back then, never thought he'd become such a beast. Was always hyperactive though, and you can see it in his play. Just never stops going.

Nothing I said above contradicts that. Anyway, gonna stop going in circles here with immediate effect.

I'm not saying he's bad - he's a pretty decent Super Rugby player, but not really anything more in my opinion.

Not sure what this is supposed to mean... So if Jacques du Plessis wins the same awards at the Bulls, I have full rights to clamor for his Bok squad inclusion... Logic?

None that isn't already in the team.

This forum seriously needs an AGREE rating...

Nobody wants Morne Steyn there, but that's neither here nor there, so I'd leave it at that. Local is lekker only if you have 2 players of equal quality. In somebody like Habana, Fourie du Preez and Francois Louw's cases, this is clearly not the case. Not sure what you're interested in, but I...

Of course I know that. Still remember De Waal kicking that conversion from the corner in 2007 to beat the Lions. Duane was with me at school, so I've followed his career more closely than most others. But that's like saying we should pick Derick Hougaard and Heinie Adams because they won the...

Their players get a bit more money I'm guessing. Also, the rise of food prices and transport, the ridiculous levels of crime aren't helping. Basically players value their quality and indeed duration of life more than the Springbok jersey, which is unfortunately the exact same thing any one of...

Agreed Brisbok. Brussow won't improve the team at all, and he's 1 less lineout option. I have no qualms, excluding quotas of course, with the current loosies being picked. Nizaam Carr is also a bit farfetched. Don't forget we have players like Arno Botha, Willem Alberts, Francois Louw as well...

What I am wondering is WHY you were worried about it. We saw with him in 2002 when he took over at the Blue Bulls, how he first got the basics right. Only from 2005 onward did he make us really play with more freedom. And this was the best approach, since we needed to learn how to win first...

I would like to know myself. Looks like Rudolph Straeuli junior.

Or you have 1 team using their chances better. Not that that matters in this case, since no team was really outplayed by the other. If anything, the Springboks edged it.

At least Jean de Villiers brought it to his attention on his own. So no biggie. Kaplan was all over the penalty Serfontein received even though he had no way of getting out of there, although he clearly tried. Will that be bigger than the Beale saga as well?

It did feel awesome, thanks mate. :cool: One thing that just soured it a bit for me, is we had a relatively commanding 2 score lead, and we pissed it away in 5 minutes with some pathetic defence and lack of composure. And it was mostly the defensive organisation that was a problem, more than a...

Interesting, since Craig Joubert apparently admitted getting that call wrong...

Perhaps it evens out those 2 bullshit deliberate knockdown calls. Just because you go at it with 1 hand, doesn't mean you're trying to deliberately knock it on - they can catch it like that as well. Didn't wanna say anything during the game, as it would have looked like sour grapes had we...
