Well to be honest dont think SA will get far with this team, I cant see them winning the next 3 and if they do – Im sure they will have more injuries.
It sad state of affairs to watch. It unbelievable how the Seniour players call the shots. Wish we had Robbie Dean as coach if we did how many of the Boks in the team now would still be there under Dean. My list below.
The seniour players have dictated this team, and still wont hang up their boots and they are injured – Juan Smith is a lengend he said no and I tell you what we could use him rite now as he would still be better than the effort Spies put in.

Burger
Brussow
Matfield ?
Bismake for sure
Hougard
F Steyn
Lambie
Steenkamp
Beast ?

@mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-133: They played rubbish yes. BUT: One the other hand, Wales were extraordinarily good. They were as good as any of the top teams. But yes, SA should have had a better lead to not leave it down to the wire and should have been sure to have at least one score clear ... that type of gameplan is bound to backfire. We are forever taking that dangerous gamble. One big positive ... It was good to get 2 tries against Wales who have really good defense.

@Brigadier Van Zyl(Brigadier Van Zyl)-114: OHHH PLEASE don't play Pienaar. He farks up the little game plan we have. The only thing Habana has got going is a little 'presence' ... the opposition is unsure if he's going to fire or not and tends to have to mark him more than they would like. But its minimal. Unfortunately he may just ignite against the lesser teams ... which will mean he won't be going anywhere in the tougher games. PdV doesn't have the IQ to differentiate between small and big games .... he can't even play players in optimal positions.

@Big Hit(Big Hit)-127: Yeah, if Wales can bring that to each game they are def going through in 1st or 2nd slot, and will go far in this RWC. With play like that they will very likely trip up one of the giants.

@Big Hit(Big Hit)-113: Yeah,he had a huge game.Young man has arrived,good for him.Still think Barnes was very avg in his calls but Warburton was huge for the Welsh regardless. Boks still won though as rubbish as they played.

With Bakkies injured I would definitely look at bringing Francois Louw into the side as a lock. He definitely is big enough to play at 4. He is solid at the line-outs, excellent at ruck time and loves the physical stuff.

The replacements who came on the park on saturday must start the game against samoa,as they changed the game enough for the boks to win against wales.It is now time to drop habana as he is playing on his reputation alone as his form is very poor,hougaard is at the moment better than him on the wing of that there is no doubt,and alberts certainly made a difference at 8 in place of spies,and guthro should also start against samoa even if it is just to get him match fit as he has not played a lot of rugby lately.The commentators on the all black v tonga match stated that graham henry had not started conrad smith and played sbw in his place because smith is not as phyisical as sbw on defence and against the physicallity of the tongans sbw would be the better player even though henrys preffered combination is still nonu and smith.Surely the bok management can come up with a plan to help morne on defence as the boks need him as he is our No1 kicker,and to start the bigger games without him is just unthinkable.

Samoa beat the Wallabies 32-23 in Sydney. 9 points is a fairly big margin under the circumstances.

The Samoans should be harder against the Welsh and starting with Namibia makes their World Cup fairly easy than the Welsh’s i think.

@madvillain(madvillain)-126: you are a ******

I don’t know if Fiji and Samoa are going to have much joy against that Welsh defence, they will be hard fought games that’s for sure!

To play for 10 min of 80 min and win is crazy.

It says a lot about Howlye and Gatland though.

I liked the dejected look on their faces.

Samoa and Fiji are down the road.

Their only win might be the Namibians.

The Samoans downed the Aussies when they were there for the taking and that, i think, is the difference.

Fiji already have one up on Wales.

Why are people continuing to use age as a factor? We are younger on average by 2 years than the English team that won in 2003. We are the SAME average age as The Al Blacks at this tournament. I tell you what the problem is…….the players have been played into the ground. Tim Noakes’s advice was not taken and only 3 months ago the management team tried to rectify the situation by asking for his advice……but its too late. Simply put….the new S15 format will shorten the careers of players and in the future you will not see many +28 yr old players at RWC’s. Take a look at Victor’s playing time stats and Bekkers in the S15.

@Brigadier Van Zyl(Brigadier Van Zyl)-68: i hear you but i'm actually starting to believe that perhaps the coaches should plan this campaign around the bench, more than around starting 15. any changes should be made for injury only and not poor form. we may actually be better served with having explosive, younger and hungrier reserves come off the bench as opposed to the opposite...(slower, older and not in such good form players) who would come off the bench, needed, to perhaps close out a game or pull it out of the fire.
