@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-27: i think we'll all agree that super rugby form or lack thereof is not an indicator of what happens in tri-nations/tests

@Transformation(Transformation)-22: Yeah but in 2009 it was the same and they got blitzed that year by Boks. Last year it was the other way around Its not a foregone conclusion. They have their won problems and Saders let it slip last week which will aslo plays its part.when have likes of: Nonu,Smith,MCaw,Sivivatu,Mils,Woodcock,Donnelly,Gear,Dagg,Toeava played consistently this year? And 7 of those are AB starters.Half the teams Instead likes of Ellis,Guilford,SBW,B.Franks,Crockett,Hoeatta,Whitelock have been best performers(Saders) and between them barely have 35 test caps...If that.Test rugby boys. Last year granted they didnt do all that well but their teams were alot lot more competitive than this season.Chiefs,Canes were a lot weaker than in previous years and Highlanders after bright start capitulated spectacularly. Barring Saders all the rest of the other theams are comparable in strength if not weaker to Sharks,Stormers,Cheetahs,Bulls. @Stoan(Stoan)-24: Well the same argument could be made for the underperforming Bulls players who are backbone of Boks..."their places were secured" so that didnt give the S15 their all...even though they did better than Canes,Chiefs,Highlanders...Bllues were always erratic.

@Big Hit(Big Hit)-23: That was the worst test I have ever seen the Boks play. Even beats the 49-0 fiasco.

@Big Hit(Big Hit)-23: Really now, who goes into a rugby game and says no kicking at all, that was a joke.

@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-21: Think most of the guys that knew they had their places secured(Mils), didn't put much effort in the Super 15, and for me the international setup is different to the Super 15, but i hear what you saying and agree they did not but watch them WC time.

@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-21: same as last year, kiwi teams didn't do that well in the s14 - with only saders making semis - BUT blitzed almost everything in the Test arena

@Stoan(Stoan)-20: Well they certaitly didnt look it (fresh) in this years S15..Especially those mentioned in article-Jane,Mils,Gear and were in poor form throughout. Along with likes of Toeava, Dagg, Sivivatu injured or out of shape struggling to make grade one session from Tietjens however great the legendary 7's coach is wont change that fact.Barring the Crusaders players the NZ teams were not impressive neither.And Blues the next best team have few AB's-Woodcock,Afoa,Mealamu,Kaino,Toeava.

@Transformation(Transformation)-16: wooooow, these guys seem to be pulling all the stops. Scary the likes of Mils are seemingly so fresh and fit, think if he has another season like he did last year, a lot of teams will be punished

@Stoan(Stoan)-18: the irony is that if you read the article jimmy cowan talks about the same thing in 2011, that tjietjens was STILL skilling them in “playing what’s in front of them” but some would read that there’s not “structure” in how the all blacks play

@he’s not the messiah. he’s a very naughty boy!(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-15: Playing the situation is exactly what Reds did to win the Super 15, of coz that is done within a structure within which the team plays in, PDV was saying there will be structure but he wanted ti empower players to make their own decisions on the field, for an example, he doesn't want to decide before a game that if you are in your own half you must always kick, if you r in your try line and you have an overlap, he wants the ball reciever to be able to jusge on his own whether to kick or should feel comfortable enough to be able to run the ball which could result in a try for the Boks but if it does not work out that way, he still has comfort in knowing that he has the coach backing. that is playing the situation. not play like a robot. NB: playing the situation does not mean there is no structure. having no structure is what Harry Viljoen tried to do when he toured Argentina, that was always going to fail.

@he’s not the messiah. he’s a very naughty boy!(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-15: yep that’s how he won the junior world cup, on “inspiration alone”
