my view on Watson and JW is that JW only selects people that will listen to him and that he believes will fit in the squad to make one big happy family. Watson is clearly a highly vocal outspoken lad that the sight of and sound of his voice is enough to irritate jW to the point of shitting in his pants! JW will never select Watson even if he collects the best stats for lineout jumping next year!!!!

Norman
Stop whingeing the kid didn’t get picked so what. Watsons problem is that he has made a rod for his own back, he must engage his brain before he engages his vocal cords. In SA rugby mag he pipes up that JW will pick him! he then states that he will be playing for the world XV on 3 June. Quite frankly if I was a coach I wouldn’t pick him because he’d probably start telling me how to do my job!
I could not give a **** about his relationship with his God or his views on politics or what his daddy did back in ancient history. Luke Watson needs to shut the **** up nobody cares about his life views the only issue that is pertinent to the matter is whether or not he can play rugby. Harsh words? Yes but why not he is the one who usually does the chatter it’s time somebody gave him a taste of his own medicine.
The fact that he has not being picked reflects poorly only upon himself and definitely not the selectors, JW or Nick Mallett.
My advice to the young buck is shut your ******* mouth start training don’t claim to be humble actually practice a bit of humility and for christs sake get those watermelons out from under your arms. Then with a bit of luck and hard work you could become a great springbok.

for those of you who think watson is not worth his chance i think you know nothing about the game tho you are entitled to your opinion however poor it is
if its true that mallet did not let him go then i think mallet and white have got together tho i wish i am proved wrong
its off putting when you listen to the **** that we have to put up with like chosing players on form and those who add value when you can take half the 45 and find another half who played well in the super 14 and have found no place ahead of those players not performing
whats happening in the game

Jake obviously leaned on Mallet (offered him Percy for old times sake).

Can’t have the poverty of his loose forward selections and thinking shown up…

Luke who?

What would’ve been really nice is if Watson played and Dwyer used him as a lineout option. Egg on the face comes to mind.

I reckon Jake would have crapped himself if Luke played,after all what better way into the squad than taking out your rivals personally!!!

Uh Keo

If Jake ain’t gonna let his Boks into our very own domestic league,what chance any other coach is gonna let his players fly South for a bit of sunshine and a wad of pounds?????

In the land of 0Z they play FOOTBALL, they play it from coast to coast and state to state, they play it summer winter or spring wherever there is a park.
People from all over the world, come to see a game, thinking that it must be the same, as they used to play, only to find, with some dismay, that the game in mind was of a different kind than that on disply.

You would think by now, the the stupid 0zzie pricks would know the difference between one shaped ball or another and call the games by name.
This calling ball games by the generic use of FOOTBALL must cease!, learn the names of the games you silly stupid w@nking chain dragging powder puff poofters.

No Caucaunibuca either! Was looking forward to seeing him and Chavhanga square off on the wings, would have been something special watching those two speed merchants.

Where’s Rupeni Caucau? Has anyone seen this guy playing recently, is he still as good as he was when playing Super 12 for the Blues?

I have been watching Luke Wayson play for the Stormers during the S14.
If he was living in NZ or Aus I am sure he would be called in.
It’s a pitty that talent like he’s is not recognised in SA.

Onlooker
I thought Rob Lowe decided to play League along with Ray Mordt. Being english speaking had nothing to do with it.

Keo
Does it matter? They’ll at least show us how beautiful the game can be when played by talented experts for the sheer joy of it.
It might even encourage our guys to relax and express their own talents. Currently the majority of our teams are playing as if they were severely constipated.

What a **** squad. A bunch of yesterday’s heroes. Not one of those guys would make his current national team. Really, a mismatch. Boks will destroy this team.

They’re coming over for the sunshine and the pounds.

That team five years ago. YES. Not today.

wpw,
I agree, life aren’t a fair chance, but here we talk rugby.
Prejudice always prevailed in SA rugby, just as the classes system prevailed in England rugby, there is nothing we can do about it.
World class players such as Rob Lowe, Andrew Aitken, Gary Teichman and Joel Stransky never played the number of Tests that some lesser players played because they were English speaking blokes, sadly enough.

nick mallet is either a d@@s or jw’s *****… either way he sucks!!! woulda loved to see luke in company of those greats and see how his workrate kills the boks and make jake eat his words… who knows he may even catch a ball in the lineouts…
