    yeah you stupid pathetic little moron mongrel go wipe your fake commie fanny on the alter of the oppressed and the oppressors. I happened to do my national call up service in 1972 in Ladysmith Natal and on the Caprivi strip while you were getting spurned out some jaundiced yellow bellied junkyard motherless snorting trash heap. On 16 June 1976 I was 10,000 miles away in London UK watching the flames of wracked vengeance erupt in chaos over what your forefathers brought to this land. I had f’all to do with your fucked up heritage as I still don’t today.

    @grant10(grant10)-24:

    Amen brutha. But you don’t mention that Habana’s poor form is also due that that useless plodding twat. Smit’s so called ‘aura’ means kick and chase game has dulled Habana’s skills and now we see the result. Has Smit no shame?

    I wonder whether JDJ on the wing instead of JDV there may make more sense?? Thoughts???

    Habana is still being watched by the opposition for the full 80 minutes, it must be indicative by itself
    He simply plays on the wrong team, stockedpiled with quota backs who seldom ever passed the ball, and if they do it never a timely and accurate one, the word ‘overlap’ is an unknow term to them
    I would say his out of position on defence which became a fixture now is due to desperation, trying to intercept no matter what, would have been worse if Styen had a better out of hand kick last Saturday.

    @geeten(geeten)-52: Easy conspiracy theorist, Habana has lost focus and form. No surprise he is not doing the hard yakaa of the Bulls squad these days ? They are not the most inventive but still are the yard stick of SA rugby.

    @Hondo(Hondo)-54: And for the Boks ….? He has been **** since 2009.

    So the Boks and Stormers must change their admitadly poor game plan to suit one man who is by all accounts way too full of himself these days ?

    Nice to see Hougie giving it back to him after Habs tried the old f… you aftter scoring ..

    I sat in the stands at Newlands watching in horror as the very first high kick on him Habana missed completely, it went straight through him like a water cascade through a massive sieve, even an u13 wing would have made a better effort than that.

    Then I watched him fake another attempt at a slap at a high ball he chased, not even a vague hope of catching it just a poorly orchestrated fake slap at the ball above his head.

    Then little while later he charged into traffic made some meters did some good work and in his haste to offload he gave it straight to Spies.

    Now some can go on about statistics and what they supposedly show or supposedly hide but I’ve seen a shadow of a player who might still have some remnants of the qualities that made him what he was but the rest of it I seen dissolved before my very eyes.

    What’s worse is Habana is obsessed with his own painful lack of form woes, he is mesmerized by his trials and pressure to resurrect himself to extent that he’s lost all tenets of any teamwork ethic. Habana is all about Bryan Habana and nobody else, and that don’t make for a happy chappy on the field of play which is actually more than half the battle won.

    Plus I reckon he suffers from major hand eye coordination failure, he misses more than he strikes and I think he got a serious physical eyesight problem, first port of call should be the optical surgeon and then next the self worth resurrection shrink.

    A matter of team’s discipline and the coaches’ authority
    When playing under JW/HM Habana was Habana, playing under AC and PdV, it’s a 3rd world mayhem, he feels obliged now to make things happened to resurrect his super wing status.
    Sadly he might not going to resurface with the likes of Aplon, Jantje, De Jongh, Januarie or Coleman in the line up, making him effectively yet another quota victim

    @Hondo(Hondo)-59: I would have: Duvenhage, Grant, JDV, DuP, and my wings: JDJ and Sadie with Koster as a replacement WINGER. Now would AC have the ballas to pick that? I like JDJ Hondo- he has a good step- better suited to 13 or 14/11. Now if we do get Houggard next year (if the rumours are true) will we play him at 9 or on the wing?

    White is a krap coach who got lucky because he eventually surrounded himself with the right people, and others did him the favor of removing his nemesis team without him having anything whatsoever to do with or about it.

    What White may be good at is recognizing now where his own shortcomings are and using others talents to bolster his own. Like I believe he’s brought on Gregan in a player management capacity. But if Larkham and Giteau were both at Brumbies next year it would end in either White walking or them or in a heap of tears. His one lucky break is Giteau is gone to France next year cos otherwise I doubt there’d be much chance, no other coach managed to manage Giteau not even John Mitchell. If White thought Watson was cancer I wonder what he would have called the Giteau-Larkham alliance.

    Would be interested to see how many times Fourie has ever passed the ball to Habana (can only recall two passes this season) and mostly I think therein lies the source of his lack of tries. As for him having poor technique with regards to the high ball am not surprised as he is a converted winger and therefore not a natural at it but he really should practice that as come world cup am sure teams will bombard his side with high kicks.

    Bang-kok bok de Jongh is waaaaaay too slow for wing he has good acceleration over 15m and that’s it in terms of speed (look at the number of times he has been caught from behind this season) I just shudder to think what he would be like under the high ball or turning and having to chase a grubber. His best position 12 no doubt just needs to improve his passing.

    Rubbish. White got lucky with a few results and it’s only down to Eddie Jones at the RWC. Maybe White wasn’t such a **** coach because he had to live with plod for 4 years, due to plod brainwashing him like he does to every coach with nonsense about a stupid aura. Then his aura starts affecting other players, note the poor form of Habana, Spies, Matfield, JdV etc who are maybe now just starting to come right months after being away from plod in the national setup.

    like I said munkibooi White was a krap coach that got lucky a very poor coach indeed who only beat NZ 3 times at home ever and once by a fluke single point, who also got hammered by Aussie 49-0

    White fluked a no contest WC so as victories go it was actually a little hollow. Our toughest competition in the entire tournament came from nobodies Tonga and Fiji. 2007 WC was a lousy hollow victory unlike 95 when we faced France in semi and NZ in final or even in 99 when eventual champs put us out in injury time. In 2007 we faced nobody except 7th rank England and nobody Argy and England came closest to scoring a try in the final where we kicked it all 80 minutes to show our emphasized superior game plan.

    So 2007 actually is a hollow half arsed victory not a true victory where we beat the best, we beat nobody and still came away with a fake tinsel town type victory. If that what gives you gooseflesh then I’m afraid you don’t even have the values inkling what the qualities of decent quality rugby principles supposed to represent.

    Plod has been pulling the wool over coaches eyes since forever. And we’ve had to live with this lowlife for 7 years. Would gladly swap the tri-nations wins, the RWC, the Lions series, etc for an honourable captain who can play great rugby, sidestep, the lot. We have that in Luke Watson, even if his teams never won anything doesn’t matter, he at least can play rugby and isn’t a useless plodder, and he has principles.
