thats it tackler , I think the sooner people respect our team the better , what is the use of not using a man like Lowen for his experience. I hope the locals dont linch the Maori fella …
At any rate , we’ll soon see what he adds to the team

Haah! Dan Carter is an underwear model. Doug Howlett gets … well, use your imagination!

The AB’s are so scary because they are so bloody GOOD. They even have the likes of coach Franco Smith saying “I canÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t tell you how much it helps the youngsters in the team to be able to talk to someone who has played for the All Blacks.”

Ja boet!

That old black magic is something that the once-feared green and gold simply no longer has.

It’s called fear factor.

are mortlocks line breaks of his own making, or his talented inside backs?

Yep. An All Black is just a whole lot scarier than a Springbok.

Intetesting how even Rassie is awestruck by these puny All Blacks, If we train like them and think like them then surely we should be able to plauy against them.
Just look at Cricket in Oz, our boys need to start believing the ozzies are actually also human and not super Gods.
Our players need to start believing in themselves as much as we fans believe in them, on the field it is 15 against 15 and 11 against 11, Go get them

Simon

Dont be so touchy- KSA Shark asked a question and I provided a “maybe unwarranted response”

Relax man – all is said in a good spirit- maybe you should read my first post to KSA again

again – I understand the quotes- like I said, as I read both Keo & Volksblad in the morning- having a full understanding of afrikaans and a so-so understanding of anglo- I can easily spot a pattern

and so what –

remember what KSA’s question was and see my response in context- jeez I dont mind a tiff – but this does not warrant it

have a good day.

Rassie, doesn’t it help the youngsters in the team to be able to talk to someone who has played for the Sprinboks

OO,

As a blog, we bring you stories from everywhere, even the Volksblad. When we take quotes from them, we always credit them. Not everyone here can understand Afrikaans either.
