Gaffie has played better rugby than brent this season. he has earned his stripes. Give the buger a chance. Brent has had many chances and couldnt keep a steady place in the squad lets see what gaffie has up his sleeves.

The boks are going to get their butts kicked. Can’t see them winning this one, but hey they always surprise us when we write them off.

bOKS TO GET DISHED SERIOUS opfok!

“I don’t see a problem with my new responsibilities as I have enough senior players to fall back on. I’ll be able to depend on the support of senior guys like Percy (Montgomery, fullback), AJ (Venter, flank) and Wikus (flank).

“I don’t think the captaincy will put additional pressure on my game. Even before I was named captain I’ve always tried to make a contribution and help the captain I am playing under to make some decisions.”

“The only difference is that I will now have the final say. I hope that I’ll be able to take the right decisions on the day – with the help of the senior players.”

Chilliboy to fire up Baby Boks!!

At the tender age of 19 Mahlatse “Chilliboy” Ralepele has taken the next step on his road to Springbok greatness.The young hooker was a double world champion with the U/19 and U/21 squads last year and will this year lead the U/21 team in their title defence.Much is expected of the young Blue Bull in the future and this is a great oppurtunity for him to secure the captaincy for his remaining years at this level.The powerful hooker is a product of Pretoria Boys High School and seems set to follow in the footsteps of another old boy in national captain John Smit.

Stoff, agree on most except for Butch, uninjured and fit that is. He will give a new dimention to the backline if so but I think to much plasters and bandages for him to survive a full season…

Juan is our best loosie he must be there. The Ndungane’s aren’t up to international standard. Russel is too fragile to play fullback and Butch James isn’t an international flyhalf

Clothes, Jean Smith was before his injury the form loosie in the S14, you can not pick a 1st 15 with him not in it, drop Van and let him play an impact role, much better.

Also, forget about gary at #2, it will be Smitty.

Londonshark…..good one boet,had me going to the end …and im a Stormer (or was one)…

Stoffel ,I still think Big Joe goes on reputation for a mix of good and average games. The good games being loaded into the memory bank. I think AJ,Juan,Schalk with big Joe on bench.
Joe is good in some game sbut a bitinconsistent. A very good sub though.
However its a good forsome to rotate an rest.Then there’s Pedrie too. I hope Jake rotates these guys with well. They might just last then.Would be good to see Schalk play 80% of the time. Same with Juan,we must look after these boys.

He’s feeling vewy Wet right now.

What about The Wet Barry?

The tight five is no good, definately a second string tight five. The loosies are a mix and match affair, Joe should be the test 8 and AJ vying for the 7 jersey with Juan. I’m sorry but I don’t rate Wikus, he’s a grafter but not up to international standard. The backline looks good and is pretty much our first choice backline. Could be a tight affair but I pick the Boks to win.
