All Blacks v Baabaas

[RugbyReg]

Games is on Dec 5 at Twickers.

Apparently Genia, Mitchell, Moore and Gits are all playing.

Wonderful experiene for Sanchez.

 

[PaarlBok]

Think I read somewhere Matfield & Habana will also play for the BaaBaas. They need someone to disrubt their lineouts.

 

[PaarlBok]

WP Nel the young TH prop from Loeriesfontein, Namaqualand and the Cheetahs will play for the BaaBaa's.

 

[Ash]

He'll be the uncapped player?

 

[RugbyReg]

I don't think they are particularly stringent on that 'tradition' anymore.

 

[PaarlBok]

He'll be the uncapped player?

Sure he is, made a big stride for the Cheetahs. WP comes via the Matie / Boland factory.

i wouldn't be surprised if schalk and powell switch places so there isn't so many saffas on the bench. pretty much the same as Boomy (good squad) but i'd stick gits on the bench. he doesn't need anything to further boost his opinion of himself.

 

[Moses]

I'm surprised Rocky has signed up, for a guy who's played about 4 seasons in a row you think he'd be ready for a nap...

 

[PaarlBok]

just having a little fun Blue.

Read it like that but Fourie have a hand injury, so your wish may come true. Also some moan on TSF about the amount of Saffers in the team. Maybe a bit of a 3-zip nightmare? :nta:

I do appreciate this BaaBaa concept, after playing against each other all year time to have fun and play with each other for a change and if they can knock the All Blacks over in the process, why not?

 

[Boomy]

I wonder which Wallabies will come out of this match with injuries that cost them a year, a la Dunning and Kepu.

Giteau...if we're lucky...

aww boo hoo. that's nonsense from them. who's supposed to be in the team? more AB's? they're the opposition. springboks have earned it this year. maybe some frenchies and irish should be there as they've had a good year too. but the best of the welsh are there and a couple 'talians. seems alright to me.

pommies can stay home.

You mean the snails? :fishing

Must say most Springbokke attending is all world class players and they should really appreciate it. That show these guys have respect for them and awesome to see the likes of Elsom and Giteau joining them. They dont get paid for this and more to do with great rugby culture and tradisions taking to the next generations.

 

[disco]

He'll be the uncapped player?

Maybe Morahan could get a run seen as he's only on the bench for the Cardiff game & I'm sure he won'y play in the test on saturday.
