A few weeks ago, pdv suggested that Burger was as much as a natural 8 as any? This was on the assumption that Brussow and Smith were fit. Could this still happen if Alberts performs well?

He has served SA rugby with commitment and determination harder than granite and has more talent in his little finger compared to JdV. His defence was always 100% solid and he was the archetypal Bok enforcer. He mixed mongrel brute strength with discipline. Something his mate Burger could learn from. I don’t think I have ever seen Smith yellow-carded. He always kept himself in peak physical condition unlike his lousy good-for-nothing captain. A true unsung hero.

I honestly feel for Juan. He has had a sh.it time lately. He lost his father recently and now he has to miss the RWC. I know it was tough JdV but frankly his form does not warrant being selected for the RWC. Smith deserves to be ahead of him. Life can be very cruel sometimes.

Rare breed of traditional Springbok who should have led this team a long time ago and it would have been far further than we find it now under the sham shackled shadow of a show boating goody two shoe shekel shining charlatan

A Bok legend in every sense of the word. He never left these shores hunting for money and glory.

Smit should hold his head in shame compared to Smith he ain’t even worthy to hold his tog bag.

Smith should have been captain since 2008 and this team would have been legions further down the road… having said that watch this team under Matfield.. gonna give Ab’s a shake up… pity they didn’t leave Smit out altogether because bringing him on off bench is just throwing the conniving jackal in among the pigeons at 60 mins… totally unnecessary maneuver.. should have rather played Chili or Strauss off bench not Smit.

Share your sentiments. He is a colossus. Just hope he will be back. And I mean in the green and gold. He has at least 2 maybe 3 more seasons left in him.
The break will do him good. Missing the WC will be a major disappointment but at least he has a winners medal.
Now think of the disappointment Jean de Villiers has had to endure. Twice.

Just so happens I never tip against my team. It’s luck, not design :D

A first timer. But it’s been good fun. You reckon there’ll a separate one for the WC?

It just shows to what extent the margin counts. I haven’t accumulated too many bonus points but the win win % at 75 isn’t too bad.
Got the last Scotttish game wrong – won’t make that mistake again. I’m taking your word for it now.

The guy is one of the all-time greats of rugby. An absolute legend and he for me was the best candidate for Bok captain. What the Boks needed was a hard-b*st*rd no-nonsense captain who leads by example.

I am absolutely gutted he is out of the world cup. I truly hope he will be back. We may never see a player of his calibre again. Kak day for me and it just got kakker receiving this news!
