Shipperly has put his hand up for selection for this match...
His finger was dislocated and had ruptured the skin, but the bone wasn't broken, so it was put back in its place and he wants to play..

^^^ Once you get the guernsey, make the bastards burn the house down to get it back. That's the attitude.

I have to go for the Boks. Regardless who starts.

Heyneke is at home in Pretoria and his schlong is firmly on the block. Lose this and he is oh so terribly fucked. Words cannot describe.

Look out for Piet van Zyl's twin sons to take Heyneke out one-time if the Boks go down.

Is there ANY chance that Morne will be goal kicking any better at Loftus? You used to be able to put your house on him nailing all of his shots and since the Boks haven't been losing by much, this could prove the difference.

Keep in mind also that our kicking game has been rubbish. Going up against this Boks outfit at altitude, if we don't do the hard yards up the middle we could find ourselves pinned in our own red zone for much of the game! :eek:

Well sort of.. SA will put out an inspired performance because of their results of late.



Wow that's odd, almost like a holiday over there.

Hopefully it means they will be acclimatized come game time!! hoping for more than 2 tries in a game for the men in gold.

If all goes to plan, Morne will not be in the 22! Or at the very least not in the starting 15.

I hope Heyneke Meyer sticks to his guns and continues to pick Morne Steyn.

Hopefully he realises that Goosen and Lambie are rubbish and shouldn't be selected against the Wallabies.

My support for the Walllabies may or may not have influenced these opinions.

^^^^ If I were a Bokke supporter, then I would be nervous, ..... very nervous.

Without Goose and Lambie in the starting 15, the Bokke appear to be trying to win a marathon by running it in a wetsuit and flippers.

Would Heyneke have the guts to drop Morne for a game at Loftus?

Hopefully! After Morne's performances this year, I think the pressure to drop Steyn will be greater than any pressure he might feel to play Steyn at his homeground. Meyer has admitted publicly that goalkicking (or lack of!) cost the Boks a win in their last game.

Can he change game plans in two weeks?
I don't think he needs to completely change the gameplan at this stage. A similar game plan with slight variation is what is needed at this stage. Goosen is capable of executing the same tactical kicking game plan, with the ability to run the ball when necessary. Steyn is not.

I think if the boks persist with morne and sideshow bob at the back then we will sneak home, but if they play goose and lambie they will beat us.

Ten are reporting that Cooper is out of the trip to the Bull Ring with his knee injury.

Harris moves one step closer.....;)
