Why Paulse’s still positive
23 Oct 2006
Breyton Paulse’s spirit has not been broken, despite being dropped by Springbok coach Jake White.
In the new issue of SA Rugby magazine, on sale this week for just R18.95, the winger insists he can make an impact for the Boks at the 2007 World Cup.
“I am still in good condition and I reckon I have lots to give,” he says. “Apart from anything else I can offer experience to the younger players. I would love to have a good World Cup.”
Further on in the article, Paulse expresses his frustration with the national selectors.
“I don’t mind being dropped when I play badly, I just want to be treated fairly,” he says. “I did not feel that I needed a rest for the home leg of the Tri-Nations. I had hardly played on the overseas leg and I was hungry to play.”
Also in the new issue of SA Rugby magazine, on sale this week:
– Unlocking Twickenham: Nick Mallett, Corne Krige and Gary Gold pick their match 22s to beat England.
– Pierre Spies: “We will be ready for England”.
– Why Stuart Abbott turned down Rudolf Straeuli in 2003.
– Lions centre Jaco Pretorius puts his foot on the gas.
– Saluting our Currie Cup stars: Gio Aplon, Gary Botha, Warren Britz and Phillip Burger.
– How Murray Mexted’s Academy gave Francois Steyn an edge.
– What the Boks can learn from rugby league’s defensive systems.
– Five former All Blacks rate the best team in the world (and explain why there’s still plenty of room for improvement).
– Keo on why the Boks must dominate the rucks in Dublin if they’re to avoid another defeat to Ireland.
– Naas selects his best backs of the Currie Cup, and Mallett his best forwards (expect some surprises).
– Who knows Schalk Burger better? His brother Tiaan or girlfriend Michele?
– How foreigners have invaded the Premiership.
– PLUS: We begin our World Cup countdown.

23 Oct 2006, 07:19 am
Breyton is surely the best wing in SA. part from habana. 10 times better than Akona ndungane.

Why Stuart Abbott turned down Rudolf in 2003:
Stuart: “Coach I don’t want to run around naked for you”
Rudolf: “Oh c’mon Stuart, I just want to see what you’ve got…Nobody will suspect anything because all the players will be naked.”
Stuart: “That’s it! I’m off to England”

Paulse is a legend !
23 Oct 2006, 08:07 am
one of the best Bok Wings ever. Remember 1999 World Cup against the Kiwis???
23 Oct 2006, 08:19 am
– Pierre Spies: “We will be ready for Englandâ€.
Why does this sound like “See you at the World Cup.”?
23 Oct 2006, 08:31 am
I think with him its a case of we know what we have.
23 Oct 2006, 08:31 am
“Saluting our Currie Cup stars: Gio Aplon, Gary Botha, Warren Britz and Phillip Burger.”
How did Britz gatecrash this little party?

I don’t get to read the mag living all the way over here in ozzie land but interesting you guys talk about adopting rugby league defenses, I have become quite a fan of the game in the last couple of years and I believe Rugby would do well to take a few pointers from league, both offensively and defensively.
23 Oct 2006, 08:32 am
Can someone tell me why seconds has never made the cut. He has been a prolific scorer for a while now.
23 Oct 2006, 08:33 am
Breyten has a rugby brain. Good instinct, good anticipation, good boot, good tackler, good thinker. He has intuition and its prolonging his career.
I think that Skim castes magic spells on him to keep Breytie in tip top legend condition. Skim uses Try Line Potion N0 14 on him. I’ve heard Skim use strong Breytie incantations to get him giddy – upping down the touch line and dotting down lapper side of the opponents try line.
Skim you’re a legend!!!

23 Oct 2006, 08:34 am
More Katman.
The whole Sharks team is currie cup stars. They just choke for for some strange reason.
23 Oct 2006, 08:37 am
man i really miss sa rugby magazine
23 Oct 2006, 08:52 am
Hmm. It would be more interesting to ask him that after his time in France he is considered a joke amongst the French rugby community. A winger with no pace and no obvious skills.
Is he not a trifle embarrassed by the disconnect between the number of caps and his talents.
A walking ‘token’ of what is wrong with SA rugby.
23 Oct 2006, 08:55 am
“i just wanna be treated fairly”
hahahahaah, what a joke, then he wouldnt come near the bok jersey again. ONE good game in 2 years breytie! ONE!!!!
no dude, you wanna ride the “experience” train all the way to the bank champ…
russel can do anything you can do IMO, and he’s younger, but alas, he doesnt have the right uhmmmm…. credentials
if paulse playes like he did against the ausies, i dont mind him being there, but then he must produce the goods, not play kak for 2 years and then play one good game
23 Oct 2006, 09:06 am
St Mick, been wondering where you were. What is your take on the weekends Heinekin cup results?
23 Oct 2006, 09:19 am
Breytie is 100% legend.

Reading the Brent Russell article is like reading an Agony Aunt column. It’s also an indictment of Straueli (keep him here) and an insight into Dickie Muir’s weaknesses.
FFS the Giteau comparison is fair in the context of Sharks and Bok rugby. If he was a Bully Boy and warming the bench, I could understand it. The tragedy will be having to watch Giteau’s performance in RWC whilst Straueli and Muir dither endlessly, to say nothing of Jake White.
Should the critics be right and Jake White departs the coaching position post RWC, which one of his likely successors will take a chance on the invisible ‘utility’ or ‘impact’ player that gets no game time.
I respect the opion of those who have the opinion that he’s too light, too frail defensively or whatever they chose as an excuse for keeping him in the rugby wilderness. FFS let him play sevens at least! Unlike Luke Watson whose support band is well headed by Keo and SA Rugby, BR, without this benefit has at least proved that he is a Bok asset.

Cover looks suspiciously like the World Cup promo pic of Chester Williams back in the day.
Copycats.
23 Oct 2006, 09:51 am
Funny how StMichel always rolls around in his own faeces in his playpen and tries to make sensible comments. What a bitter twat.
