My wings would be Habana and Ndungane (akona that is). Fourie is a centre, and to be honest, Iâ€™s rather Paulse was around to share experience with the squad and maybe play from the bench. I would be reluctant to start him anymore.

I really would love to see Ndungane in the starting lineup. Keep the rest of the team the same as last year, and I reckon we could be in for big things in France.

Thanks. I have them all the time.

We must just remember to get the strappings, gumguards, boots etc. identical. They bust twin brothers cheating in the Comrades when they wore their wrist watches on different arms.

Katman your a legend, what an idea!

By: katman

Another thought is to have Akona in the team and Odwa kitted up in an identical no.14 jersey, hiding in the locker room. That way you could have your full compliment on the bench, but still switch to a fresh Ndugane at half time without anyone noticing.

thank you katman…………actually i agree with u on jp for bench.

if percy maintains the running lines he has with the sharks he is in my starting 15. but if he still just kicks it away………tsk tsk

I do believe mighty lion got it almost spot-on with his team (post no.28):

1.os
2.smit
3.cj
4.bakkies
5.victorius
6.schalk
7.juan
8.big joe
9.januarie
10.pretorius
11.habana
12.jean
13.marius
14.conrad
15.fourie

subs:
16.gary botha
17.sephaka/guthro
18.aj venter – covering lock and loosies
19.fdp
20.bosman
21.rayno benjamin
22.percy

…except Marius doesn’t belong there, Fourie should play at 13 and Percy should be at 15 with JP replacing him on the bench.

Also agree about the subs, except I think Benjamin is not quite there yet. Akona would be a great option on the bench.

Sorry, the best flyhalf!

Tony Brown is the beat flyhalf out of the SA Franchises

I’f we’re looking at Tri Nations this year, i think it might be Bosman/Houghaard
Andre has hardly played rugby this year so far, you can’t choose him, I see he is going to play for Vodacom this weekend… who else is left?

Peter Grant? I don’t think so.. not yet
Butch James? no Rugby at all?
Tony Brown? Not unless they change the constitution
Brent Russell? Doubt it.
Earl Rose? No ways, he’s the player who has missed the most tackles in S14 this year
Morne Steyn? Hardly played 10 minutes in total.
Bosman? consistant performer and might just beat Houghaard
Houghaard? I think he is the man

Who else is left?

Hougaardt will never play for SA again

By: BlouBal

BlouBal — Tue, 28 Mar 2006 10:55:09 +0000

Guys, we can debate all we want, but I still feel, and not just as being a Bull supporter, that Houghaard is the best place kicker in SA rugby and his line kicks aren’t bad either. The only reason I chose FDP before Ricky is cause FDP plays with Houghaard all year long.

Bananna is Habanna for everyone asking

Habana is still gonna **** up big for SA, creating overlaps trying to intercept. He must wake and play the game properly

Schalla, regarding post #2 the only right wing consistently showing his mettle is Stan.

Oh and I even forgot Condrad J and Brent Russell. NO chance of Benjamin getting a look in

Johnny7 I agree with you, Cronje is 1 dimensional and really NOT Bok quality, JOE NEEDS to get fita dn STAY fit…

Juan is AWESOME! and For Right wing, those calling for Benjamin, are you INSANE? 1/2 a season of ordenary rugby and some people want him to play Boks? Even Nokwe is ahead of him in the pecking order not to mention:

Snyman,
Both Ndungane Bros,
Fourie/Joubert,
Chavanga,

So thats 7 (SEVEN!) Players that will be seen on the right wing ahead of Benjamin

Lol… Not to mention the 2 incubents, Pulse and JDV,

So that puts Benjamin 10th in the pecking order and even then Mentz might be favoured.

Bring on the injuries, lol, to see benjamin as a Bok we would need a PLAGUE!

Agreed with Johnny7. because Cronje is super kuk
Even rotating AJ and Smith from match to match

By: Johnny7

Johnny7 — Tue, 28 Mar 2006 10:26:51 +0000

Also, AJ deserves a shot. Juan, joe and schalk (incumbents) to still start, but he’s not only a helluva supersub at flank but also gives great coverage from 4 to 8.

Juan Smith is class

By: Johnny7

Johnny7 — Tue, 28 Mar 2006 10:18:34 +0000

To all those who have not picked Juan in the starting line-up: Are you out of of your F&^%$ing mind?!? Same goes for anyone who still wishes to pick Jacques Cronje for the Bok squad.
