    Frans Steyn was essential to our hopes for victory; the find of the tournament.

    Kiwis saw this and changed their mind to start Carter and McCaw against Canada. Even went to the extent to get Carter to lie on the floor and fake a training niggle ha ha ha oh well good on them..

    Steyn is a massive loss to the Boks.

    Frans Steyn is world class. He was one of our oustanding Boks in this wc so far. Our two replacements in JdJ and JdV are nowhere near Frans Steyns class.

    Our hopes of winning this world cup has now taken a massive dive.

    What a pity it came near the end. Cause think they might have been thinking of playing JdV and taking Fransie off. To make sure he was there for us for the play offs. As Hougaard and JdV were warming up to come on. Only Hougaard game on and got injured almost straight away. Then JdV had to go to wing. So Fransie was left on for the rest of the game. Well it seemed they were going to take Fransie off if JdV was coming on. Cause no way were they going to take Lambie off cause he was also covering fh if Morne got injured.

    @Guns(Guns)-4: Canada are not filthy pigs like those “kiwi” Samoans.

    Goosen must be called up to play 15 … one 60m kicker to replace another.

    Ja because of that fat Plod pig and because it is madness having Beast in the same match 22 as the superior Guthro, which necessitates a 5/2 bench split, Fransie was sacrificed … yes two sharkievarkie prick players contributed to this disaster.

    @RL(RL)-8:

    I’d consider that as well albeit that would be very unfair on the young player to expect so much so soon after having his CC debut.

    I see van der linde dropping out of the match 22 Smit moving to the bench to cover hooker and tight head. A massive gamble but we now need to carry an extra backline player.

    @Brigadier Van Zyl(Brigadier Van Zyl)-11: leave CJ in the match 22, drop Beast who is an inferior tight forward to Guthro, fly in Goosen to cover the bench. That’s what I would do.

    No more backline. JdV is no where near the quality of Steyn. He refuses to pass and tries to be the hero all the time. This pigheaded re-tard game plan of kicking the ball away along with Danie, Spies and Smit constantly starting and that is the world cup for the Boks.

    You can’t expect to win when only Brussow, Burger and Bismarck (when he gets on) are the only ones making the tackles whilst vag-man Spies tries to get as far away from the action as possible. The Boks are currently playing with about 12 players.

    Goosen has great potential but it would be idiotic to fly him in. Takbok (Kirchner) is no option. Can’t even remember the back line players on standby. Conrad…..

    Carter has withdrawn from Canada match tomorrow with groin injury sustained on captain’s run . McCaw already out of this game due to chronic foot problem . Do not know how serious Carter’s injury is but groin injuries can endure .

    The winner of SA, Aus and NZ may be short a few players for the Northern Hemisphere Walkover Bonus Game (I think the IRB have named it the Final).

    How bad is hougaard`s injury as i have not seen news to say how he is,i hope it is not serious.It is a pity about steyn as he was playing in my mind his best position at12 there is no use in moaning about it what`s done is done the boks will just have to get on without him.

    Haha, Kirchner is terrible. Steyn is only rated in SA though, all he can do is kick long range penalties. No great loss.

    At least some people will now have a solid reason if we don’t go on and win the WC.

    They can always claim that we “would have” won it if only Fransie did not get injured.

    @lawsy25(lawsy25)-31: What? Steyn may not be a rugbygod but he is sure better than all our other centres. JDV is as best a past-his-sell-by date once good player at provincial level.

    Replacing Steyn with JDV is like fielding a team of 14. Another incercept queen like habana, they both don’t deserve their seats.

    @Goodthong. Is the reason your cat had not been called up a quarantine thing or has he previously represented another IRB nation?

    @nama1(nama1)-32:

    Steyns two long range penalties were against whom?

    and his try in the first match?

    if it weren’t for him we would be on our way home already.

    neh?

    Well, I suppose only a few will be sad to see Frans go home. After all he was/is a fat boy, too slow, too one dimensional, too much of an attitude.

    Rugby followers/experts/lovers my faarken @ss!

    See you in the Bok team soon Fransie!

    Taute is a very good running fullback but his kicking game is non existent!

    He got some big line kicks away today. And he’s pretty good at up and unders, although 4 out of 5 times he’ll prefer to run it up. Which is cool with me.
