Your analysis is constantly so ignorant. If you were smart enough to realize this you would be too embarassed to go out in public. You keep beating ( or should that be bleating) the same doff drum.

Get that into your heads damnit. Time to give Butch a run and cut Cooper down to size. Our only hope of getting into the semis now that Frans is out !!

What you are noticing is the work of a good 12. You cannot expect Morne to do the job of a 10 and a 12, that’s impossible. But now we are back to Jean, a substandard player. Never has he ever been a world class player. It’s pure arrogance to say that he is or ever was the best 12 in the world. Never has he ever played to Fransie’s standards.

Probably all but kills off our RWC hopes.

But PLEASE keep Ruan AWAY from the field.

We still could though. But please we can’t play Zane. NO-WAY he is just not up to it at this level. Anyhow I will still support our Boks. We still in this and we can beat Oz but with Fransie it would have been a whole lot easier. Not sure how Morne gonna play now either. With Frans there Morne was playing a whole lot better.

Remember we could still be facing Italy. :) Who would have thought Tonga to beat France today? So Italy has a chance tomorrow as well.

GO THE AZZURRI…HEHEHE. :)

Got to agree with you- It is probably only window dressing though and Zane will only be acquired to carry tackling bags- cannot see him making the bench in the one game that we have got left in the tournment :)

He is just not up to it at this level. Rather Taute or Viljoen. We lose a world class player for at best a CC player. Zane is not great at all. The in-form fb at home is Taute. Viljoen is also great there. Far better than Zane.

Anyhow Lambie had a superb game there on Saturday. Reading the papers and they rated him 9. Got the highest rate out of any of the players.

At least we have specialist fullback again…

What a massive mistake that is. If we were flying out a fb it should have been Taute or Viljoen. HUGE mistake sending for Zane. He is not up to this level.

How can we replace a world class player like Fransie with a CC at best player like Zane?

Now think we gonna mess with Lambie as well. Making him sit on the bench to cover all 3 positions.

See in the papers Lambie got a 9 out of 10 yesterday. The youngster was outstanding at fb.

It’s like a toddler trying to run through a wall. He is so incredibly blunt. He trotted through a massive gap yesterday, but the first defender nailed him easily despite that momentum. He also missed a very important tackle yesterday. Shot out of line and was left several meters behind everyone. Very embarrasing. Jean is no legend. He never was a great player, just an average one that had no competition. Frans should have been our 12 from the start of 2008.

He brings balance to our backline, doing everything that is so far and away beyond Jean. We finally saw slick distribution, interplay, offloads and powerful carries well over the advantage line. Now we have Jean back, like a deadly disease that refuses to give in. Back to a painfully bland and disfunctional backlplay. He can’t even defend anymore, not that he was ever a brick wall in his channel. Words cannot fathom the level of this disaster. If only New Zealand would lose Carter or Nonu, that would even things up. So very frustrating. Peter finally selects our best 12, by far our best 12, and he gets injured!!

in the past few games spies has performed well, don’t let perception cloud judgement. Alberts has been below par as a sub in the past 2 games if we are honest about it.

So maybe 5/2 will be better. Tough call.

Jannie can play for 80, but then we’ll have Butch there too. The backs will have to put in a lot of tackles, and Butch will help in that regard if needed.

Against Aus I’ll go (if all fit):

Lambie
JP
Fourie
de Villiers
Habana
Steyn
du Preez
Spies
Burger
Brussouw
Bakkies
Matfield
Jannie
Smit
Beast

Bismark
Guthro
Rossouw
Alberts
Hougaard
James
Aplon

If it had to be a backline player, who do you reckon? It better not be Jacobs or Olivier.
