@baw(maxed) : Oh yeah, and clearly you're a Sharks supporter (8 of them in your starting 15???). No-one but a Sharks supporter could put the lightweight show-pony Keegan Daniel ahead of Schalk.

@baw(maxed) : Interesting team, but I would definitely keep Jannie at tighthead and Beast at loosehead. No point in playing them both out of position.

#199 williefz, I’ll go with that then add that quick ball = metres gained. The AB’s know this and used the rules/interpretation/ref to slow SA ball and protect their own with RM et al sealing off; no rucking allowed.

It also shows where SA coaching staff are so weak. I don’t believe we have anyone who can do this sort of strategic training. DM was a gifted rugby player but has a high proportion of bone above the neck. Analyst he ain’t. PdeV strikes me as an instinctive coach who wants his team to play a certain style of rugby but can’t/won’t fill in the details as to how to make it winning rugby. So we’re left with Gold who must do this, school the forwards and the defence. Min chance.

Keo pays me in keo dollars.

In turn I use them to pay the bonus of maevis.

As well as any other interest free non payable loans that she may require over the year.

@Agile T*t-Tyrant(Anairetes agilis) : First you cry that Stegmann is not in the team .Then you make excuses that he is not matchfit .Make up your mind. Should he play,or not ..I can see from your posts that you rate him very highly.(which everybody should)But my concern has always been his match fitness and not his capabilities.Would you play him now?Yes or no.Honest opinion please.

@baw(maxed) : If fit, Jdv at 13 and Frans at 12. Lambie at 15 and M Steyn at 10. Not ideal with JdV at 13, but hey, not too many better options.......

@gunther(gunther) :

Hahahahaaa… Gunther you are seriously funny. You probably make a fortune writing comedy script. If you don’t, you should be.

If Keo is not paying you hansomely, he should be ashamed of himself.

I hope stegmann gets his first cap on saturday as i think brussouw and him are the best two No sixes in sa rugby and as brussouw is not fit he should get a starting place v ireland but that is just my opinion.

@willievz(willievz) : hey willie sorry about the late response but I had to go and buy a present for a colleague who is leaving. Thanks for that input and agree with you about the taking it wide bit from the outset. They line deep and don't seem to worry about the gain line anymore taking the ball as you say as far as the number 13. The worst thing you can do against them is get caught in 2 minds about your defensive lines. I wonder if the balance of our loose forwards should shift to more emphasis on attacking the rucks and tackle areas relying therefore on turnover ball than having the big ball carriers. One thing that does concern me about our forwards is there ability to hold onto the ball in contact or rip it out. We have big forwards with big muscles but the muscle co-ordinaton and strength in their grips doesn't seem as good and strong as that of our competition.

Looking forward to the battle of the back rows. Pierre Spies is a show-pony. He’d rather be off entering in Mr Universe than getting down and dirty on the pitch in Dublin. Heaslip will show him how to play no.8
