Aplon in, Bismarck out

Aplon in, Bismarck out

The Springboks have made five changes to their starting line-up to face Namibia at the North Habour Stadium in Auckland on Thursday.

In the back division Bryan Habana and Gio Aplon replace JP Pietersen and Odwa Ndungane on the wings. The latter duo are dropped from the squad completely. Francois Hougaard gets a start at his preferred position of scrumhalf, with Fourie du Preez playing off the wood.

Among the heavies, Willem Alberts starts at openside flank in place of Heinrich Brussow, whose is named among the reserves alongside another specialist fetcher, Francois Louw. CJ van der Linde earns his first start at the tournament at tighthead prop in place of Jannie du Plessis, who’ll watch from the stands.

Chiliboy Ralepelle, omitted from the 22 for the first two Tests, will get game time off the bench, while Ruan Pienaar and Juan de Jongh’s versatility means the back division are well covered.

After the victory over Fiji in Wellington coach Peter de Villiers said that he valued continuity in selection, but on Tuesday explained that he needed to rotate with a view of having a full fit squad.

‘The biggest challenge for us it to manage the players. We’ve had two bruising encounters and we have to be sensible if we want to have 30 players fit throughout the tournament. We’re getting thin in some areas, injuries are our biggest concern at this point,’ he said.

Captain John Smit acknowledged the difficulty of preparing for a match just five days after their victory in Wellington, but stressed complacency wouldn’t be a factor.

‘There are challenges every weekend, but motivation isn’t one of those. It is important for us to be ruthless. There are still a lot of areas we want to improve and if we don’t have the proper focus we won’t get what we want out of this match,’ he said. ‘This is an opportunity to carry on the journey to where we want to be and improve our standards. Having played two games here and a couple before some guys have had enough game to move towards their best form. That needs to continue.

‘In a week like this with as short a turnaround you don’t get that much field time to prepare. So the challenge is achieving perfection in the base areas of our game, the set piece and so on.’

The Springboks are expected to beat Namibia comfortably and should negotiate Samoa’s challenge without too much problems, setting up a quarter-final against Australia. Asked whether he had cast his mind ahead to that epic tussle Smit said: ‘One thing about the World Cup is that at this stage there are so many permutations floating about. If you get wrapped up in what lies ahead you may lose sight of what you want to achieve at present. We have to think a week at a time and not worry about what lies ahead.’

De Villiers was bullish when probed on the issue of Habana’s form, arguing that the former IRB Player of the Year wouldn’t have breaking the South African try-scoring record (he is the joint-highest scorer) as a central focus.

‘I don’t think people understand the ethos of this team. If you can point out one player that puts his personal interests above those of the team’s I’ll send them home immediately. There are personal goals we achieve in life and if Bryan breaks the record it will be a wonderful achievement. But what if he scores and we lose? That ultimately is no good.’

Springboks – 15 Pat Lambie, 14 Gio Aplon, 13 Jaque Fourie, 12 Frans Steyn, 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Morné Steyn, 9 Francois Hougaard, 8 Pierre Spies, 7 Schalk Burger, 6 Willem Alberts, 5 Danie Rossouw, 4 Bakkies Botha, 3 CJ van der Linde, 2 John Smit (c), Gurthro Steenkamp.
Subs: 16 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 17 Tendai Mtawarira, 18 Francois Louw, 19 Heinrich Brüssow, 20 Fourie du Preez, 21 Ruan Pienaar, 22 Juan de Jongh.

    Nice to see Aplon getting a start.

    And Flo is covering lock, I presume? Bakkies will only play the first half again.

    Welwitchia dragons!

  • 3.I am a stormer: Reply to this comment

    Hougaard starting – this is good.

    Bismarck not starting – this is not good. Being rested after being on the bench twice? Hopefully he’ll get a start against Samoa.

  • 4.oubaard: Reply to this comment

    Hopefully habana break the record at last against nam and keep running the f*|< out of here!

  • 5.Jinx2: Reply to this comment

    Schalk needs to come off at the half. Get his two pints of beer and a bag of slapchips.

  • 6.Caper: Reply to this comment

    Alberts should cover lock and Flo / Brussow the flanks.

    Would still like to see JdJ start.

    And Lambie isn’t a fullback for me. Give him a run at flyhalf.

  • 7.underdog: Reply to this comment

    Really this team selection is nonsensical. Why not play De Jongh and Flo for J. Fourie and Schalk. There is nothing to gain from playing the latter two whereas the former two would have valuable match practice heaven forbid we have any injuries down the line!!!

  • 8.brains_trust: Reply to this comment

    what the Keo “journos” (I’m using the word very loosely) don’t realize is the our coaching staff have their WC tactics spot on.

    all rugby games are 80 mins long and we are playing our best combinations in the last 30 mins. It is genius, pure genius !

    As long as the starting 15 can hold their own and keep it tight for 40 to 50 mins then we will win all our games in the last 30. why expend your best players when the opposition is fresh and fired up? bring them on when the opposition is tired and hurting.

    our coaches are applying Sun Zi’s – The Art of War strategies which focuses on military organization, leadership, and battlefield tactics.

    in the Boks case – STRATEGY 4: Await the Exhausted Enemy at Your Ease

    It is an advantage to choose the time and place for battle (i.e. the last 30 mins). In this way you know when and where the battle will take place, while your enemy does not. Encourage your enemy to expend his energy in futile quests while you conserve your strength. When he is exhausted and confused, you attack with energy and purpose.

    Who cares. According the spineless bunch of Springbok hating c*nts who run this site we have already lost it.

  • 10.brains_trust: Reply to this comment

    i got an 82 pnt margin for the boks on this game…

  • 11.underdog: Reply to this comment

    @Caper(Caper)-6:

    In the context of the WC squad it is probably prudent to continue playing Lambie at fullback as he is the cover for Frans. He may not be the biggest tackler but he can put his body on the line, joins the line nicely in attack, good under the high ball, solid tactical kicker and seems to have a good all round rugby brain imo. He is the last of my worries. Victor’s injury and poor form is the most worrying aspect at the moment. Against top tier nations our lineout will be exposed badlyif we Bakkies and Danie starting.

  • 12.mshiniwami: Reply to this comment

    Good team

    Burger hadn’t played for 8 weeks prior to world cup so needs to get to full fitness.Jaque Fourie hadn’t played with Frans Steyn in midfield in 4 yrs till last week so good to have them have another hit out ti allow them some time together.

    Many players unlikely to play more than 40 mins. Namely Smit,Guthro,Bakkies,Burger,Morne,Fourie.

    These players havnt played a lot of rugby in the last month after being cotton wooled so they must play 2getha.

  • 13.Heavens Game: Reply to this comment

    @I am a stormer(I am a stormer)-3: I reckon it indicates that Bismarck is going to get huge game time coming up… Like starting.

    This is shaping up as the 1st Choice side now:

    15. Lambie
    14. JPP
    13. Mossie
    12. Steyn
    11. Hougaard
    10. Steyn
    9. FdP
    8. Spies
    7. Schalk
    6. Ratel
    5. Matfield
    4. Bakkies
    3. JdP
    2. Bismarck
    1. Gurthro

    Bench: Beast, Smit, Danie, Alberts, Habanero, JdV, Butch.

    I have a funny feeling these hard choices have been made. Done and dusted. (Please… I hope.)

  • 14.klingon_x: Reply to this comment

    Mark the spineless po*s Keohane and his bisexual dog-faced lover Rian Vrede says we don’t have a chance against Aus so why continue reading this anti-Saffer piece of **** for a blog?

  • 15.I am a stormer: Reply to this comment

    @Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-13:

    That would be a decent side to take on Samoa. But more than likely JDJ on the bench if Butch is still injured – we only play them on the following Fri so Butch should be ok by then.

    But then Pdiv will revert to starting Smit in the KO stages.

  • 16.mshiniwami: Reply to this comment

    Underdog

    Nothing wrong with Botha & Danie in lineouts.they can def hold their own vs Thorn/Whitelock,Vickerman/Horwill,O’Connell/O’Callaghan,Palmer/Lawes etc.

    But Matfield is class regardless.

  • 17.Rhys7: Reply to this comment

    P Div is pathetic… he obviously doesnt like Flo and is in love with Spies, surely Alberts should play no.8 with Flo at 6? Alberts is not a 6, Div you are a plonker, the sooner you leave the managers post the better.. I mean come on, Heynecke Meyer, Alistair Coetzee or even Rassie Erasmus if he was in charge of selection would not pick Alberts at 6, hes is an utter plonker? Why not give Juan De Jongh a start at 13? thats silly he hasnt lived up to the hype of the job throughout his tenure.. Always picking the bok side that Jake left behind…

    Credit cannot go to de villiers for the 2009 tri nations and lions series victories in 2009, this was the 2007 bok team with a few newbies proving their quality at the peak of their games in 2009, had the world cup been in 2009 the boks would have lifted it even had they played the wallabies or all blacks, if they had played the wallabies or all blacks in 07 it wouldnt have been so certain..

    Jake White built the core of this side I mean look at the strongest side

    15 Frans – Jake
    14 JP – Jake
    13 Jaque – Jake
    12 De villiers – Jake
    11 Habana – Jake
    10 Morne – Div or Butch – Jake
    9 Du Preez – Jake
    8 Spies – Jake
    7 Burger – Jake
    6 Brussouw – De Villiers
    5 Matfield – pre jake but influential during the 2004 – 2007 era
    4 Bakkies – Jake
    3 Jannie – Jake
    2 Smit – came a well known test player under jake
    1 Gurthro – Jake or Tendai – Div

  • 18.Heavens Game: Reply to this comment

    @I am a stormer(I am a stormer)-15: If JdV on the bench then no room for JdJ… actually no room for habs either. Maybe Pienaar as back up 10 then.

  • 19.Heavens Game: Reply to this comment

    @Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-18: Actually, Fark, I dunno who on the bench. I just know the 1st XV who will have the best chance of defending the Webb Ellis… Except for Alberts for Spies maybe.

  • 20.I am a stormer: Reply to this comment

    @Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-18:

    On the bench, suggest leave Habs off. And would have JDJ to cover 12 and Aplon to cover wing/FB. With Ruan to cover scrumhalf.

    But then there is plenty of versatility in the run-on 15 with Lambie, F Steyn and Hougaard covering the whole backline. It just comes down to replacing tired legs in the final 20 minutes.

    @I am a stormer(I am a stormer)-20: Yes, lots of versatility and you are right about replacing tired legs… More than that its also about getting the “impact” from the bench. I dont know, seriously.

    One thing I do know is that F Steyn should be the Bok 12 from heron forward.

    Bismarck ‘rested’ – REALLY? When last did our Bissie play a full match? He must be exhausted from sitting on the wood one presumes. Everyone else is getting an extended run against the minnows but you leave your best player out of the team all together when he has hardly played a full match in 2 months!

  • 27.>^..^< katman: Reply to this comment

    At first I was perplexed by the fact that there was no fetcher in sight. But then I saw some of the names there – Alberts, Burger, Botha, Rossouw, Steenkamp – and I realised the plan was simply to tell the Namibians to give the ball to us.

  • 28.cab: Reply to this comment

    @mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-16:
    one wonders if bakkies and rossow are not another reason why we looked so much better against fiji – some good ruckwork. about a year ago, i picked the following team 1. beast 2. bismarck 3. cj 4. bakkies 5. danie 6. brussow 7. alberts 8. burger 9. hougaard 10. morne 11. habana 12. frans 13. fourie 14. jp 15. aplon

    still think its holds validity tho gurthro looks to be shading beast at present and jannie seems a better scrummer than cj. never happen of course, but its a proper pack with tightforwards are **** like ireland, wales and the other packs produce, with no ruck inspectors.

    If you are talking ‘real’ games here and not Namibia, then Alberts starts, Spies drops out altogether, Flo onto bench, Aplon for Habana.

    A decent kind of klap in the 50 point region would be fine, thanks.

    But I reckon they won’t be up for a 100 point beating after a decent rest after the Samoa game. They actually did quite well against Fiji and showed they have a bit of fight in them.

    I suppose a 50 pointer would be a bit of a moral defeat for the Boks? Most folks thinking ODI type totals here.

    So Pep Guardiola can’t get the credit at Barcelona simply because Frank Rijkaard laid the foundation from 2004 – 2006 by winning the la liga and Champions League.

    That is a very tired argument Rhys 7. Just think about it and forget about PdV for a minute. Just apply this line of reasoning to another sport or sphere in life and you will see it does not add up.

    It’s a pub like scenario here Duiwel. Would you walk up to a bunch of strangers in the pub and start giving grief over a loss? Would you expect the same in reverse if a stranger came up to you and a group of mates and starting ripping in to you? WAIKATO

    New Zealand should expect a very tough game.

    Auckland – Morgan Parra will start at flyhalf for France in their key rugby World Cup clash against New Zealand at Eden Park on Saturday after coach Marc Lievremont again shuffled his pack and made numerous changes.

    Parra switches from scrumhalf to flyhalf to take over from Francois Trinh-Duc after an impressive kicking display in the 46-19 Pool A win over Canada on Sunday. Dimitri Yachvili starts at scrumhalf.

    Captain Thierry Dusautoir returns to the side after missing the win over Canada and joins Julien Bonnaire and Louis Picamoles in the loose forwards.
    Aurelien Rougerie, who stood in as captain against Canada, switches to centre with Maxime Medard taking over on the wing.

    In the competitive position of hooker, Dimitri Szarzewski starts ahead of William Servat while lock Lionel Nallet returns in place of Romain Millo-Chluski.

    New Zealand and France have both won their opening two matches in Pool A with four-try bonus points and their clash is likely to decide the winners of the group.
    Teams:

    France:
    15 Damien Traille, 14 Vincent Clerc, 13 Aurelien Rougerie, 12 Maxime Mermoz, 11 Maxime Medard, 10 Morgan Parra, 9 Dimitri Yachvili, 8 Louis Picamoles, 7 Julien Bonnaire, 6 Thierry Dusautoir (captain), 5 Lionel Nallet, 4 Pascal Pape, 3 Luc Ducalcon, 2 Dimitri Szarzewski, 1 Jean-Baptiste Poux.

    Replacements: 16 William Servat, 17 Fabien Barcella, 18 Julien Pierre, 19 Imanol Harinordoquy, 20 Francois Trinh-Duc, 21 Fabrice Estebanez, 22 Cedric Heymans.

  • 97.bokgat1: Reply to this comment

    Of the original 30, excluding those injured, given this selection against Namibia, everyone will have had a chance to play in the RWC. The exceptions are of course Odwa who played last week. There may be nothing more to it than that. Injuries in some weird way with the exception of Muller, have worked out quite well provided that the players are fit enough for in(ex)clusion against the Aussies.

  • 98.hendrikp: Reply to this comment

    So the 8 players to miss out are: Bismarck du Plessis, Jannie du Plessis, Victor Matfield, Johann Muller, Butch James, Jean de Villiers, Odwa Ndungane & JP Pietersen.

    4 injured being Matfield, Muller, James & de Villiers?

    They’ll smash Namibia so guess it’s good not to risk all of them unnecessarily. Would’ve liked Schalk Burger getting a rest ahead of Brussow though. Brussow has been out the past 2 years, and Schalk is at his best after a decent rest.

  • 99.bokgat1: Reply to this comment

    Thing that worries me is that not one tough decision has been made on selection. It’s always been a selection of another player over “injury”. Either weak selection criteria or not revealing too much. JdV’s position should be more under scrutiny than it will be. You’ve got to give one thing to PdV, he is loyal!

  • 100.hendrikp: Reply to this comment

    Hope Frans Steyn plays for the Cheetahs when he returns. They’re the only team that will be willing to give him significant game-time at 12 (only). Everyone else will mess around with him. Might have to take a pay cut though.

    Fire him right now. I have been in New Zealand 3 weeks and the kiwis have been awesome hosts, the only negative thing they have said is our coach is a clown.

    Feeeckkkk oofffff

  • 111.bokgat1: Reply to this comment

    He’s either opening his mouth about the haka cause he’s worried about jinxing the team over the FIJI clash or, he is getting confident again. You may note how quiet he’s been of late. He always has to say something stupid. Maybe part of the grand plan…

  • 112.rangerman: Reply to this comment

    @goyougoodthing2(goyougoodthing2)-110: ag i agreed fully with his comment about the haka.

    does it really deserve randoms doing it on every street corner, sticking out their tongues and trying to be intimidating?

    its a cultural practice that simply loses its value when it becomes a part of pop culture imo.

    thats my opinion though, maybe kiwis feel different but i had haka-fatigue after the opening ceremony already.

    remember, he had a long time out of the game and had a lot of niggles during the s15.

    i like how he is being used to grind the opposition for the first 50 mins and then a younger explosive player comes on to run them ragged.

    He has definitely stepped up… As the stats gurus say… made the most tackle against wales and is putting in the hard work and grinding down the opposition with a solid scrum for the first 50 or so… as ranger said…

    i still believe we have an excellent chance of winning this thing… and again… have said that way before the comp started…

  • 127.bananaboy: Reply to this comment

    @stormersboy(stormersboy)-124: Morning all. SB the problem is that players get played into the ground and then lose form and all of a sudden they’ve become **** players. Remember 2 years ago what folks were saying about Jannie DuP during the EOYT after a gruelling season. As Noakes has said countless times managing a players playing time is vital to retain sharpness and form because the time taken to get it back is exponentially more than the time taken to lose it. We are seeing the fruits of sticking with Smit to get his form back now and this is the reason PDV has stuck with him for this game. He knows what he has in Bizzie and Bizzie is primed and ready to go.

    I think its great that he is giving Jannie a break as thats the area we are thin on the ground in.

  • 128.stormersboy: Reply to this comment

    @ufo(ufo)-126: Yes i agree. On the day we can beat anyone, and it’s nice to see some of the players hitting form at the right time. Hopefully some of the niggles will sort themselves out and we can field the strongest team possible.

    Soome of the other teams are also struggling with injury hassels which will disrupt their momentum too, so it’s the same for many of the top teams I guess.

  • 129.ashampoopaloo: Reply to this comment

    Smit should not be starting they going to perhaps start Bismark vs Samoa they got it wrong way around. Wtf Alberts is doing at 6 is like sending in a howitzer firing tank into a kiddies street skirmish. This the one game they could have given all the bystanders a chance to play some rugby, probably the message is put up 50 and we send on the B players.

    Louw should be starting, Brussow, Louw, Spies would work a dream this game, far better than Alberts, Burger, Spies. Alberts should be at 4 again and Bakkies should be resting.

    Nice to see Aplon and Habana on wing, about time Aplon got a run.

    It’s nice to see the scrums looking solid these days. it really gives the guys a heap of confidence to play off a solid base like that.

    I would have given Flo game time at 6 and let Albert start at 8. Think once Flo does come on Alberts will move to 4 for Bakkies. Flo should have had a full game here at 6.

    Think John should have been rested for this game, unless PdV gonna let Bissie play a full game against the Samoans. Think our starting front row all needed to be rested totally for a game before the quarters.

  • 140.wpstormerbok: Reply to this comment

    Seems PDV is constantly one step ahead of us all.

    Jannie getting a complete break was to be expected.

    Bismarck probably would’ve started if Matfield was fit but Div adapted to the situation and doesn’t want to send his team out without a leader so instead he’s kept JS and will be thinking of giving Bissie a start next week with Matfield captaining?

    But with JS looking hungry to play again and with an eye on the QF (getting the starting team on the park) Bissie might just have to take one for the team and be satisfied with a bench role again vs Samoa.

    Habana we knew was going to start, but Div has surprised with Aplon, creating a shootout between him and Ndungane for the best backup wing and also giving JP a game off.

    Hougaard & Alberts starting are good choices, giving them a start which allows Du Preez to come on and try to run at some tired legs to give him confidence to snipe and break again and after the hard work of the first two games this will be a chance for him and Brussow to relax.

    This is a bit of an off week for the Boks, they’ll do the business with an eye on improving their combo’s and with the backline chosen we could seea blowout on the scoreboard.

    The most important thing for this match is to come out with no injuries.

    But I’m much more interested in the grudge match NZ vs France.

    With the team they’ve selected I can actually see the French giving the AB’s a good shake.

    The ref for that match is Allain Rolland. He alone can cancel out NZ’s home advantage as the French will be much happier with him officiating.

    Expect slow ball, if the AB’s are honest their scrum hasn’t fired as yet even to the point of being challenged in this fact by Tonga, they could come under pressure there.

    With the AB’s looking to start Thompson at 8 the backrow battle will be decided by the tight 5 that fronts the best.

    If French’s experienced #4 can sort out Thorne who has played a lot of rugby this year and with Carter who hasn’t been that good at goalkicking recently im tipping France to take the spoils with a pressure game with their two scrumhalfs playing at 9 and 10 setting them up with their kicking game and when the chances come they have more than capable players out wide, especially down Jane’s wing.

    Heaven forbid NZ start SBW on the wing, tears will be washed down in the rain.

  • 151.Helen: Reply to this comment

    In ’95 Kitch’s stroke of genius was bulking up the back row with Mark Andrews retreaded as an 8th man.

    I wonder if Bismarck would not make more of an impact if he comes on as blind sider, replacing either Burger or Spies (with Burger moving to 8)?? Blind side requires strong cleaning, big fringe defense and the odd opportunity to steal at breakdown. Bissy could be devastating in that role, especially if he’s a bit looser and quicker to the ball than at hooker. It is certainly less risky than making a lock pack down in a more specialist role of 8th man.

    I don’t know how I come up with these things, must be the brain vits I’m taking! :-)

  • 152.Staal: Reply to this comment

    my 2 cents…

    You get the Smit supporters or haters.

    You get the Bissie supporters or haters.

    all i know is… Bissie is the best 2 in Sa and maybe in the world. John was with Hershell Gibbs maybe the best i’ve seen regarding “ball sense”… hope you understand :lol: …i was impressed with JS till we faced the BILions and lately he is a shadow of what he was. his impact is minimal if any…

    about JSmith’s captaincy…. honestly, currently they can do without it… they have got a good captain in the team… just ask the players when you chat to them again… they will of course give him credit for what he has done for SA on the field cause has has done a lot, he is also a good guy. He was our WC captain… cudus to him! Respect!.This unfortunately counts for nothing when you have to run your arse off for 80 min and tackle like crazy to win a game in 2011!!…

    We need Bissie sieriaaaaaasly…. we need to dominate with the pack, vs the AB’s & Aussies!! We need to dominate the collisions,the contact situations (rusks/mauls). John just haven’t got the legs anymore.. it’s just life…. time has caught up to him like it does to us as well… pity. Let’s not look at 1 game in isolation.

    last night i watched the Wales game – good to see it after the Fiji game… :lol:

    manne we need Bissie.

    honestly… is there any other Test playing nation that takes the captain off, if he is the best (and play without his “immense leadership skills” in the make or brake last 20min of a game?)to bring on a impact player? huh? does any team, school, varsity club do this? :shock:

    please do not think that JS always gets his locks in the lineout cause he doesn’t. Bissie ook nie… they both need to work on that. Again – let’s not look at 1 game (Fiji)in isolation.

    no problem – just as i see it…

    let’s hope we win the Bill…. but also watch the game with “open eyes” ….. please look AND see….. don’t look with “filters” on… cause some people look but don’t see…. :lol: (that advice is sommer included in the price :lol: )

    ok sorry – i am running for cover! :lol:

    We all have our opinions on the JS and Bismarck issue yes, but PDV has chosen a path which he sees will lead them to glory.

    That means getting maximum impact from his bench, and a calm head to take the brutal exchanges in the opening of knock-out matches.

    Also, the first half of knockouts are when teams look to find physical dominance and it would be hard to find a team throwing caution to the wind at this stage, which means it’s kept tight and John with his improving form will relish this.

    We can differ with Div but the man has his own look on things, has calculated and devised it on the basis of what he has seen from 2008 – 2010 and this is what he and his team believes will win them the Cup, whether we like it or not.

    If it fails they’ll have to live with it, but his team is backing him on this one and they are the only ones he needs to believe.

    I’d like to register a formal complaint with all coaches, this new scrumhalf approach at the breakdown is starting to irk me immensely. No. 9s are spending a lot of time organizing offensive formations of of forward and neglecting the ball, they’ve slown down the game, and are allowing opposing defenses to organize their alignments. Equally, this lethargic approach allows for more opportunity for counter rucks.

    @Helen(Helen)-151: The reason they played Mark at 8 in ’95 was that the laws didn’t allow for lifting/supporting in the lineout, the jumper had to be unassisted. At the time we had Reuben and Francois as flanks, both of which were not lineout jumpers and Steauli. It was felt that we needed a solid linout option at the back and it worked well, So our loose trio was Rueben,Francois and Andrews. Good balance really,.

    In 2007 Jake picked Danie at 8 and that also worked,

    So who knows?

    @mpundulu(mpundulu)-167:

    Some teams overdo it, but the good ones thrive off quick ball and will only slow it down once the situation calls for it.

    You wouldn’t want to deliver quick ball when your carrier has been caught behind the adv line, you’d want your forwards to clean up, hit the fringes and once you cross the adv line only then speed ball becomes a priority, no?

    The 62% win percentage includes a 57% win percentage against the All Blacks, the Springboks’ fiercest rivals.De Villiers is the first Springbok coach since Nick Mallet to have a 100% win record over the All Blacks in a single year (2009).

    But ja, I think off the fleld he’s got that whole “gentle giant” thing going on.

    Back in the day when I was in high school we had to do “cadets” every thursday, dress up in government issue khaki and parade up and down the sports fields. From time to time the reps from the real army would come and check us out. In our case it was Schalk Burger (Snr) and Niel Burger (WP wing) which was quite a treat. I think they were given that job as part of their national service, in order to give them enough time to play the game as well.

    I remember shaking Snr’s hand at one of the parades and thinking that this “oom” has the biggest hands I’ve ever seen.

    Well guess what Transie just like what happened to the Boks and Auss and the All Blacks in the past, a team of players who are super committed, have planned well and have one goal in mind, will always beat individual brilliance.

    I think that the two teams who had there preparation right over the last two years have been the Boks and the All Blacks, for once Henry got over the ra ra inspired have to win every game and planned for the bigger picture, Not surprised if NZ win the world cup dude for once they actually have a pragmatic approach.

    Boesak lashes out at whites
    2011-09-20 09:15

    Durban – Controversial cleric Allan Boesak has lashed out at white people while delivering the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s Steve Biko memorial lecture on black consciousness.

    Boesak said white South Africans loved Nelson Mandela more than jes us because even je sus was more “radical” and Mandela did not go too far when taking a stand on social justice, reports The Times.

    Boesak added that if Mandela said some of the things je sus had said they wouldn’t like Mandela any more, and that Mandela understood South Africans very well.

    He said it was interesting that white people only loved Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu when he talked about forgiveness – but slammed him when he spoke of correcting the social injustices of the past.

    Boesak said white people created a false sense of victimhood when social injustice was mentioned.

    On the other side of the “false innocence of whiteness” is the false innocence of black elite groups, he said.

    “They have made alliances with the old wealthy elite, alliances against the masses and are part of the small 20% of the country’s top elite who now gobble 75% of our GDP while 53% of our masses live in dire poverty and get between 6% and 8% of what is left. That is not black consciousness.

    “What we say to white people is you have to leave your false innocence behind,” Boesak.

    if you want to vicariously gloat over an irish win, go ahead. fdp had a kak game against the welsh but we still won, smit was his usual going-nowhere-fast self and was on the bench when we won the game. the boks were outplayed by the welsh and were in fact LUCKY to win.

    the was nothing LUCKY about the irish win, they played out of their socks, cian healy was massive in the scrums, ferris, o’brien & heaslip were all over the park and monstered elsom, mcCalman & samo. with stephen moore out injured the aussie fielded polota_nau who had a shocker on the night with lineouts, so ireland were more than happy to kick for territory and THEN contest the skew lineouts tatafu was throwing and it proved to be a great tactic.

    it is one game, where the aussie were dominated up front and their backs nullified now you want to paint it as if the australian halfback combo is the kakkest in the world when they have been the leading lights for the past 2 seasons…

    if cooper has “no kicking game to speak of” go and watch the reds vs stormers game at newlands and come back when you’ve learnt something. cooper was duely criticised for trying to do everything himself instead of managing the game and turning the irish forwards back and plating the game in their half. but with a faultering lineout, that tactic would’ve been useless seeing vicerman was subbed for simmons and horwil was not dominant.

    Last comment for the day, like the Boks have been made to look average on the day by the right tactics and planning the converse is possible for any other team. The fact is in tight situations where nothing is working, its all about experience and being able to change the game plan accordingly. The fact is John offers nothing off the bench but Bissie most certainly does, as does Alberts and Hougie and possible even Ruan Pienaar on a brain working good day.

    Muir was around in the Skinstad era and like Bob was at his best off the bench and turned more than one game for us, never quite reproduced as a starter. I believe that Bissie will make an impact as a starter or off the bench but I can certainly see the value in him as a bench option along with Alberts and Hougie.

    Think this tactic may be better suited to the Boks who play an intensive forward dominated game where fresh forwards are crucial to continue the intensity. Anyways just my opinion if it works hero’s if it doesn’t zero’s.

    Regardless of winning or losing the Boks are legends in my eyes, and wont feel to sad if Ritchie hold up Billie Ellis at the end of this year, he certainly deserves to be a world cup winning Captain.

    Always 2015 and a new coach and team and then we get to see if the Boks of 2004 – 2011 were as good as I relive they were and are or if all of the new blood will set the world on fire, I don know it was an almighty long time between 1995 and 2007.

    @Transformation(Transformation)-256: Really did he kick in the Reds v Stormers game, on a dry pitch with very little to no pressure on Genia and the Reds scrum going backwards, but wait Morne did that at the Bulls and it looked EASY, see bit different when pack is getting monstered and its raining and Genia is getting hammered but no when FDP kicks badly cause of the same reasons its cause he is baaad and I didn’t mention injury’s Transie you did dude, I accept our loss to Ireland, they beat us on the day begins and ends there.

    And please go through my comments and tell me were I said genia or Quade were bad players, dont invent facts to suit yourself guy, I have nothing but respect for Cooper and Genia, because they have been owned a couple of times by Ireland and England does not mean they are baaaad, it means on the day they were beaten. You are excellent at research go back and look for comments by me on Cooper and Genia from two three years back, I think you might be shocked guy and oh dude just be honest in your intents for once and say I dont rate Smit, never have never will dont care if he wins a million matches or a hundred trophies, I just dont rate the guy because I just dont, would be much better and the how about a nice glass of shut the hell up afterwards cause we all ahve players we dont rate I could wax lyrical about Wayne Fyvie and the fact that I thought that he was ever mentioned in the same breadth as Pienaar but guess what guy no one cares ;-)

    And Transie I bow to your superior rugby knowledge I mean you obviously played at the highest level, have been a front row forward and have extensive coaching experience while I have none of these, was a mediocre wing and an average kicker and played until varsity but hey I dont presume to know my *** from my elbow about what a hooker does or doesn’t do on the field guy or what happens in the scrums or why scrum-halves have to drink till they fall over and pick fights with guys three times their size, maybe that’s why I dont trash teams and players guy, cause maybe I dont know as much as they do. bye guy you take care now and punt whomever you dig guy, ;-)

No issue from me, but man up and accept that Quade and Genia are not rugby messiahs just skilled players who are as fallible as anyone else amd maybe FDP and JS are not the worst players who ever played.

    Yeah, I totally agree. Was something that was started by Gregan to a large extent when organising ball carriers for the multi-phase attack-namely Finegan to take it up who was the most mobile of blokes.

    I do think scrummies are over doing it plus they arent varying it enough.There is a time and a place for it but at present they are doing it far to much.And its not indicative of displaying some sort of “tactical nous” as they seem to think. Kills momentum

    @mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-282: Allister Coetzee speaks of a scrummy providing a team rythm, I think Gregan epitomised this, the game was played around, and perhaps Marshall to an extent. My contention at present is that scrummies are purposefully delaying play without there being a direct benefit for their side. I understand having temperament and patience when building phases, organizing your runners and offensive formations but there’s still a massive role that quick recycled ball plays on multiple phases to increase pressure on the opposition and create mismatches between forwards and backs. What Kahn Fortuali’i was doing for Samoa was just frustrating, he’d turnaround, his back to the ball, and begin to lecture his forwards, it’s utter madness, in the meantime, the ball is in open play.

    “Maori backing for Div
    Tue, 20 Sep 2011 8:49

    A New Zealand Maori leader has backed controversial comments from South African coach Peter de Villiers that the haka is “overused”, saying the traditional war dance has been “hijacked by rugby people”.

    Peter Love, trustee of an organisation which administers Maori reserves, told Fairfax media that Maori culture was being “abused” and was especially unhappy with a wave of haka “flash mobs” surrounding the World Cup.

    “I’m concerned our (Maori) culture is being abused by the overuse and inappropriateness of the haka when it is performed outside special occasions,” Love told Fairfax, in comments reported on Tuesay.

    “The haka in our culture is something which is regarded as special and should not be bastardised by sport. Peter de Villiers is dead right when he says it is losing its respect.”

    Love, whose uncle is a former New Zealand Maori Rugby Board chairman, added that haka flash mobs, including more than a dozen in recent weeks with one in Barcelona and another at the Sydney Opera House, were misguided.

    “The haka is a challenge, not something which is performed as an expression of delight,” he said.

    “Who told those people they could do that? The haka is an orchestrated representation of our culture when it is used in an appropriate place, but it is being abused,” added Love.

    De Villiers courted controversy when he said the face-pulling, foot-stamping dance and chant performed before rugby games by New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga and Samoa to intimidate opponents was becoming over-exposed.

    “For me, about the World Cup especially, there is too many haka around,” de Villiers told the Dominion Post newspaper. “It is unique, to me, and is losing its intensity, but that is only me.

    “People are becoming so used to it. It is not a novelty any more and they don’t respect it.”

    De Villiers’ comments prompted an immediate response from the All Blacks, with centre Ma’a Nonu saying, “it’s part of our history, our tradition.

    “We’re proud of it. I don’t really care what he thinks,” Nonu said.”

    Can’t believe someone with the name “Bokke Bo” is asking for his team to deliberately lose… wanting your team to be champions just does not flush with being too chickensh*t to playe the next best teams in the tournament.

    AND [more importantly]

    Wales play Fiji AFTER our game against Samoa… by then they will know EXACTLY what to do to finish 2nd if that what they want to do… only a LOSER nation would even consider “throwing” a game.

    Samoa – 4pts
    Nam – 5pts

    Total 10pts

    If SA “throw” their game like chickenshits against Samoa (I will lose all respect) they end on 14pts, provided they lose by 7 or more.

    Wales play Fiji a whole two days later.

    All Wales would need to do is beat Fiji without a bonus point to finish second. Ending with 14 points in the the pool (tied with SA) they will qualify in 2nd place by virtue of having lost to SA in the pool stage. Them’s the rules of the tournament.

    So even if SA threw away all their proud history and decided to try manipulate the situation in a cowardly fashion, Wales would still have the final and likely say…

    If I were Wales I would beat Nam without the bonus, nothing lost to them, they still win, but it would mean SA would gain nothing by losing to Samoa – SA would still finish first on 14 points.

    So think first before you reveal your loser tendencies…

    The most common language

    home), followed by Xhosa (18
    percent), and Afrikaans (13
    percent). English is only the sixth-
    most common home language in
    the country, but is understood in most urban areas and is (mainly for political reasons) the dominant language in government and the media.

    We are not talking first language… the sheer numbers make that a closed debate.

    Common sense dictates that English is the most widely spoken language in SA. It is the language of commerce, and the language of convenience. i.e an Afrikaner speaking to a Tshangaan speaker.

    And you know it.

    and now ‘flash hakas’ in wellknown Kiwi towns of, ahem, ‘Barcelona’ and ‘Sydney’ are given as egs to support a theory about overuse in NZ ?

    There has been ONE ‘flash haka’ in NZ. Caught on YouTube because it was clearly organised.

    Nothing changes the fact that, theoretically, the Head Coach of visiting teams are, traditionally, also acting as Ambassadors for their country to promote the same goodwill for their country that they are receiving from the Host.

    And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
    Then I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin’
    But I’ll know my song well before I start singin’

    And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard
    It’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall

    @ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-574: Schweet.

    Somewhere mama’s weepin’ for her blue-eyed boy
    She’s holdin’ them a little white shoes and that little broken toy
    And he’s followin’ a star
    The same one them three men followed from the east
    I hear, sometimes Satan come as a man of peace, oh yeah

    Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
    Suicide remarks are torn
    From the fool’s gold mouthpiece
    The hollow horn plays wasted words
    Proves to warn
    That he not busy being born
    Is busy dying.

    Temptation’s page flies out the door
    You follow, find yourself at war
    Watch waterfalls of pity roar
    You feel to moan but unlike before
    You discover
    That you’d just be
    One more person crying.

    So don’t fear if you hear
    A foreign sound to your ear
    It’s alright, Ma, I’m only sighing.

    Disillusioned words like bullets bark
    As human gods aim for their mark
    Make everything from toy guns that spark
    To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
    It’s easy to see without looking too far
    That not much is really sacred

    That’s the story of the Hurricane
    But it won’t be over till they clear his name
    And give him back the time he’s done
    Put him in a prison cell but one time he could-a been
    The champion of the world.

    And the greatest:

    Outside in the distance
    A wildcat did growl
    Two riders were approaching
    The wind began to howl

    Crimson flames tied through my ears
    Rollin’ high and mighty traps
    Pounced with fire on flaming roads
    Using ideas as my maps
    “We’ll meet on edges, soon,” said I
    Proud ’neath heated brow
    Ah, but I was so much older then
    I’m younger than that now

    Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
    “Rip down all hate,” I screamed
    Lies that life is black and white
    Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
    Romantic facts of musketeers
    Foundationed deep, somehow
    Ah, but I was so much older then
    I’m younger than that now

    Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
    Too noble to neglect
    Deceived me into thinking

    Good and bad, I define these terms
    Quite clear, no doubt, somehow

    Well, some say life will beat you down
    Break your heart, steal your crown
    So I’ve started out for God knows where
    I guess I’ll know when I get there

    I’m learning to fly around the clouds
    But what goes up must come down

    I got this graveyard woman, you know she keeps my kid
    But my soulful mama, you know she keeps me hid
    She’s a junkyard angel and she always gives me bread
    Well, if I go down dyin’, you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed.

    Well, she don’t make me nervous, she don’t talk too much
    She walks like Bo Diddley and she don’t need no crutch
    She keeps this four-ten all loaded with lead
    Well, if I go down dyin’, you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed.

    Well, you know I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
    I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
    She brings me everything and more, and just like I said
    Well, if I go down dyin’, you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed.

  • 593.Heavens Game: Reply to this comment

    When she walks she moves so fine like a flamingo
    Crimson dress that clings so tight
    She’s out of reach and out of sight
    When she walks by she brightens up the neighborhood
    Oh every guy would make her his if he just could
    If she just would

    Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain
    That could hold you dear lady from going insane
    That could ease you and cool you and cease the pain
    Of your useless and pointless knowledge

    Mama’s in the fact’ry
    She ain’t got no shoes
    Daddy’s in the alley
    He’s lookin’ for the fuse
    I’m in the streets
    With the tombstone blues

    When you’re lost in the rain in Juarez
    And it’s Eastertime too
    And your gravity fails
    And negativity don’t pull you through
    Don’t put on any airs
    When you’re down on Rue Morgue Avenue
    They got some hungry women there
    And they really make a mess outta you

  • 596.Heavens Game: Reply to this comment

    Now a life of leisure and a pirate’s treasure
    Don’t make much for tragedy
    But it’s a sad man my friend who’s livin’ in his own skin
    And can’t stand the company
    Every fool’s got a reason for feelin’ sorry for himself
    And turning his heart to stone
    Tonight this fool’s halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell
    And I feel like I’m comin’ home

    Like a bird on the wire,
    like a drunk in a midnight choir
    I have tried in my way to be free.
    Like a worm on a hook,
    like a knight from some old fashioned book
    I have saved all my ribbons for thee.

    If I, if I have been unkind,
    I hope that you can just let it go by.
    If I, if I have been untrue
    I hope you know it was never to you.

    We busted out of class had to get away from those fools
    We learned more from a three-minute record than we ever learned in school
    Tonight I heart the neighborhood drummer sound
    I can feel my heart begin to pound
    You say you’re tired and you just want to close your eyes and follow your dreams down

    We made a promise we swore wed always remember
    No retreat, believe me, no surrender
    Like soldiers in the winters night with a vow to defend
    No retreat, believe me, no surrender

    People disagreeing everywhere you look
    Makes you wanna stop and read a book
    Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street
    That was really shook
    But this ol’ river keeps on rollin’, though
    No matter what gets in the way and which way the wind does blow
    And as long as it does I’ll just sit here
    And watch the river flow

    ” only knows the theory and has never practised…his MB CHb is for bragging not actually healing people ”

    @544

    ” an MB CHB ”

    Poor old ‘Twitch’n *****’ if they only knew how much ignorance they exhibit, reveal, demonstrate everytime they distort or guess or speculate or lie when they have the ExtraTerrestrial on their ‘minds’ (and that is more OFTEN the more they are ignored), they would really not entertain that habit.

    In educating them they will be mocked but it is not my fault as I simply clear up the glowing ignorance.

    Firstly, you graduate with the double degree, M.B.Ch.B ( please note the upper and lower case letters and the dots/fullstops, as it is important). Observe how it vastly differs from their polluted versions too. In their smart, ‘expert’ interpretation it probably means, Master of ‘Boggerol’ and Chancer of ‘Boggerol’.

    Next, once you have the degree you have to do the internship/housemanship or simply house job for, at least, a year at a state hospital(like Livingstone or GSH or Somerset etc.) before you ever qualify to be added to the medical register. This is purely, and nothing other than, seeing sick people/patients day after day after day – it is practising the discipline, medicine.
    Only after this, are you allowed to go out on your own to practise clinically. To keep options of clinical involvement or research or both simultaneously, every one will get on to the register – thus seeing patients is always a requirement even though you have clerked them from 3rd year already.

    N.B. You two skunks will not ever get this again so digest it, stupids.

    ” SA has to import drs from cuba ” (sic)

    I could simply say mind your own eFFin business, moron, for I owe you and anyone else F O K K O L.

    Any individual has the freedom of choice in a ‘democracy’ and it was my choice not to veneer over any facade that I anticipated would result from inadequate preparedness and commitment by any group.
    Instead, I choose research which I developed an inclination for at UCT and worked hard and efficiently at whilst a full-time student and employee there.
    I applied for none of Harry O’s bursary monies and, on principle, refused multiple times to be capped by him too. So to whom am I indebted?
    The situation will regress and deteriorate whether a 1000 ETs are there, mainly but not only because of corruption.
    NO one has even earned the right to question, let alone dictate to, me about some other group’s monumental national flaws that are sure to cause untold misery which again I will have to work to eradicate on my return.

    You should raise your concerns with the image in your mirror, first and foremost, and then seek out your paramount chief and other chiefs and all the way down to your ‘induna’ with regards your foreign doctors question.

    This is not a discussion it is an emunciation so it ends at the fullstop.

    Your threads are just as boring as the now mostly boring RWC games.

    Bring on the real rugby that will be found in the KO stages.

    These pool games are mostly gross mismatches (83-7) or uninteresting games like USA-Russia, Romania – Georgia or many, many more such like.

    Future WCs should have no more than 10 participating teams.

Keo.co.za has always promoted uncensored views, but has never tolerated racist or crass outbursts. Come on guys and girls. If you can't moderate yourselves or each other then I am going to be forced to regulate the posts and enforce a registration process for comments. The choice is yours.

Have your say
