And, in the second of the two highveld tests, the Lions utterly destroyed the Boks.

Well, Noaksie, another of your “sport scientific” rent-an-opinion from a so-called “expert” just went up — poof! — in smoke, hey?

Noaksie’s theory was the usual rubbish. The Lions weren’t affected by altitude at all and were very unlucky not to win.

But then Noaksie’s just a pseudo-scientist anyway. No more “respected” (guffaw!) than a bone-throwing Zulu sangoma in a leopard skin . All he does is trundle out his hackneyed hobby-horses and parade them in front of gullible fools who are easily impressed by a scientific-sounding title.

Once again, his latest “theory” has been exposed for the rubbish it invariably is.

Boks were struggling in the last 20 at sea level last week, and I doubt their fitness will have improved that much in a week. If the Lions start struggling with altitude it will just even things out a bit as the Boks will be tiring too.

The best bit on the hunchback’s blog:
I myself endured a few beastings at Harrow – and they weren’t always unwelcome, I can tell you! There are few things in life as invigorating as a cold shower and a jolly good rodgering from a 5th form brute!

#46 cab: ah yes, of course, he was on here first, i just find it dissapointing that the cad has changed his pseudonym after the RWC. cowardice of the highest order. Make no mistake he takes his england rugby very seriously and the last 5 beastings did not go down well.

Frans Steyn and John Robbie both say that this altitude thing is over hyped and that they find/found it fine to play at altitude.
Over hyped and getting so “long in the tooth” we will have to cal it the Saber effect pretty soon.

Every touring team that loses at Ellis Park or Loftus blames the altitude – those who win generaly say it wasn’t a factor?
