I the closest we will get to replacing him is with Butch at 12 Jean on the wing and JP at fullback. I think we will then have the physicality required.

Good grief. He is Mr reliable 9 out of 10 times. JdV is a poor defender given his size. I think De Jongh is a better tackler than him and he is half his size.

I cannot understand how Kirchner can be called up. He hasn’t played any international rugby this year and is mr butterfingers. What about Sias? Good god SA is incredibly short on talent at no.12. We should be producing at least 3 Frans Steyns every few years.

Depending of course on news of JP and Houghaard and Bakkies. Losing Steyn is a huge loss but at least we have some form a repalcement. If Jean plays I´m not sure what will happen – anyone notice he is the one that was the last line of defence in the Samoan try? Couldnt get under Stowers to deny him or ruck him back. At least JP ripped the ball in that near miss try for Samoa when the guy lost it. Direct result of JP ripping the ball. Legend.

I think that has significantly reduced our chances of winning the RWC. Frans brought new shape to the backline. His distribution skills are excellent. 10 times better than JdV. Dirty Samoans. Probably on the ABs payrolls to injury the Boks big playmakers.

Contrary to what people think of Morne he is actually essential to our RWC campaign. His goal-kicking is vital to winning a championship like this. With Frans on his outside Morne looked far more comfortable. We will not win this RWC with that carthorse JdV. Absolutely gutted for Frans Steyn. Fans deserve to see the best players performing on the biggest stage. I would like to know if a Samoan clothesline tackle damaged his shoulder.

Its blatantly a Aus/NZ conspiracy to put the Boks in a group with two Islander teams yet again! They’ve succeeded in ensuring the wheels fall off for us. Can’t De Jongh take over from Steyn? Anyone but JdV. I’ve lost all faith in him since seeing Frans playing at 12.

My lord these guys have no idea. Kirchner adds zero value. Theyre so one dimensional.
Dammit.

However, without Richie they will struggle as he is the true warrior.

We all know Sadie is superior to the other rubbish available, with Kirchner the worst choice possible.

Books minus steyn and blacks minus Carter, just think bok fans, if you win this world cup no one will ever say you didn’t earn it

Agreed. Lambie is now the no. 1 FB in the sqaud with Gio as adequate cover.

My concern is that we only have 3 centres in the squad, but 4 wings.

I would have rather sent another centre across eg Sadie or Ebersohn.

Kirchner has no hope in hell of playing in any of the knockout games. Even if Lambie is injured they will select Aplon ahead of Kirchner at 15. As for centre cover, De Jongh will slot in if JDV or Jaque injured.

Time for a JW Black Label to send him on his way.

Would rather have had Meisiekind. (only joking)

Or Sadie, Daniller, Goosen, Ebersohn.

What is Pdiv thinking?

Clearly he isn’t.

And he’ll probably play Kirchner at 13. Or something stupid.

there are very few weaknesses in any of the major teams these days.

carter going down is huge tho, because its one position they have no real backup, wipes 20% of the AB value immediately.
