They should’ve given Peter Grant a call-up to the Boks during the inbound tour with France and Italy. He was by far the 2nd best flyhalf in the S14 and is in the same mould as Butch(aggressive, can cover 10 and 12 from the bench).

@nama1(nama1)-263: Agree Nama. The reality is that he will not prove to be the answer, because he has one game to perform magic. Unfair on him, really. Not in a patched-up Bok team with unsettled combinations. As much as I am a Butch fan, and as critical as I was about Steyn in Soweto, my head says pick Steyn and stick with him.

If Butch fails to live up to the expectations (a very big possibility), what then?

@TruBlu(TruBlu)-261: Honiball in 1998 and Butch in 2007 World Cup. We tend to do well with a fearless defender in the 10 channel.

If Butch James is the answer, what is the question?

@SjamBok(SjamBok)-257: F Steyn is a 12 or 15 mate. He's been tried at 10 and is NO good. Too slow to react, gets kicks charged down far to often.......don't even go there!

How about Frans Steyn?

He has not impressed there before, but was hardly given much time to settle…

Why on earth did ruaan Pienaar leave? He would have been greta to be able to get in there now. I suppose because he has been stuffed around so much.

MS just needs rest. He was the flyhalf of the team which scored the most tries in the S14. He has BMT. (Remember last year?)

And important for the WC : He can drop kick. Even with the ‘new’ rules the drop kick can be decisive in the final games.

The way the AB’s are playing it’s hard to see any SA attack breaching their defence to win a match.

Some more interesting muppeteers than the precious know it all, told you so’s gwanty10 and snotskiet. #251 SB; would it be accurate enough to nail the ref – shoot McCaw in the bum; that way you’d nail Paddy O’ Bumlicker as well. Same with Twatson, hit his jacksie and we’d be free of gwanty and snotty – way to go!

But please girls, MS made some good breaks and scroed for the Boks and the Bulls. What’s happened? Some poor service, some offside/quick close downs by the opposition that I think was penalised in the S14. But he needs to be equipped for his place with decent instructions and good support. I was very disappointed that Aplon didn’t get some better runs on Saturday. Otherwise MS needs training to keep his skills sharp (Calder?). Missing touch from a penalty is a harsh mistake.

But I don’t think Butch, much as I like him. Grant10 is a basher but with a bit of upskilling would be better. Jantjies and Lambie need better skilling before being thrown in – remember Gaffie. Some Aussies have done it young but not too many Saffers. A flyhalf does not have to place kick, remember Monty?

In short I think it’s all about a plan, super skilling and not panicking, swapping players by the score. Fresh players are needed, no doubt but they also need to know the set up, game strategies and moves perfectly.

Will it happen? We’ll wait and see.

AVOIDANCE RUGBY, OFF LOADING AT CONTACT, SUPPORT PLAY, DOING EVERYTHING AT PACE, RIPPING THE BALL AT TACKLE, LOOSE TRIO-678 AND 2 SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THIS WITH EASE. STEALING BALL ON THE GROUND LEGALLY OR ILLEGALLY WITHOUT GETTING PENALISED “APPLAUSE FOR HEINRICH”. WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP COACHES IN SOUTH AFRICA! TEACH THE BOYS WHAT IS NECCESSARRY FOR US TO DOMINATE LIKE WE ARE SUPPOSE TO.

@Agile T*t-Tyrant(Anairetes agilis)-248: My boet had a nice example of a CZ with pachmayr grips, recoil compensator. Was actually a really nice gun to shoot. We (yes, we’re that kind of family) all went “new school” some years ago, Glock all the way. Much more comfy to carry, also no stoppages, although I haven’t taken her out for a while now. These days I’m almost too scared too, given my road rage tendancies….

WE NEED TO TEACH A DIFFERENT BRAND OF RUGBY AT PRIMARY AND AT HIGH SCHOOL. NO.01-15, LIKE THE ALL BLACKS SHOULD BE MOBILE, CATCH THE BALL IN WHICHEVER DIRECTION IT IS THROWN AT WHATEVER SPEED,TACKLE, PASS WHICHEVER DIRECTION, ABILITY TO THINK ON YOUR FEET CAN BE TAUGHT, SIDESTEPPING WOULD BE A BONUS IF SOME RUGBY PLAYERS WERE NOT SO RIGID and hopefully one can be taught to play with passion for a full 80 minutes. STRENGTH AND ENDURENCE CAN BE INCULCATED INTO AN INDIVIDUAL.

@stormersboy(stormersboy)-243: That guy looks too stupid to not have forgotten the safety on. Anyway I've got trusty DA. And never gotten so much as a stoppage. No, I'm looking into other means of escapism.
