Comments on: Carter out of World Cup http://keo.co.za/2011/10/02/carter-out-of-world-cup/ An independent look at South African rugby Thu, 23 May 2013 12:01:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: captain fantail(captain fantail) http://keo.co.za/2011/10/02/carter-out-of-world-cup/#comment-1999499 captain fantail(captain fantail) Mon, 03 Oct 2011 01:45:37 +0000 http://www.keo.co.za/?p=88868#comment-1999499 Absolute tragedy for Dan and now he may never get the opp. again. As for NZ and the AB’s, no doubt the loss is significant but we are a team and the All Blacks.
If the loss of one man is going to decide our fate, we were never the team we thought we were in the first place.
I would really like to see Piri take his spot and cowan move to 9, just the experience factor more than anything.
Still we have the quarters and semi’s to go before we can get too worried. ;-)

Game over, four more years.

What are you going to do about that now, Paddy?

You’ve been spending too much time on this site, Caner; you appear to have caught a bad dose of whinguflenza. Cover your mouth when you wh’eeze, huh ?!

This AB team now realises they cant rely on 1 player. The players will step up to the plate. Seen it before, will see it again. Bunch of mongrels like Kaino and Woodcock and Mealamu and Thorn have the skills, experience and leadership to make Marmite of the opposition. The backs have skills laced with lightning. And the very second the gap opens in front of Super Slade, he’ll vaporise the cocky grins from opposition faces.

kia KAHA bro. Up your game.

Bring it !

A great player and will definitely have an effect on the AB game. Wonder if he will still get a medal if the ABs win. Typically it’s only for players in the squad?

Bakkies, ioane, Steyn, Carter these are massive blows to the WC. I really feel for Carter this was his time to achieve the ultimate greatness!

Still hope for a Bok/AB semi. Would liked both teams to have had their best players but just not to be.

A bit simplistic, but far from reality
Styen snubbed PdV in 2010, made it clear he will only play if in the starting line up, the Boks management as fool as they are, did realise his importance and picked no other FB specialist in the RWC squad with Pienaar, Lambie and Hougaard as cover
The ABs on the other hand snubbed Nick Evans even though they have no viable alternative, even partly to Dan Carter who always had a 70% probability to getting injured.
Both teams have no substitutes for the injured players but at least the ABs had a risk mitigation with Evans,
not anymore

I hear you mate – don’t get Waka Nathan going on this subject.

You make an interesting point which I will concede; throw in home advantage as a compensator and I would say that game is evens …

What’s the latest (and the truth) on Ritchie McCaw’s foot injury? To lose him on top of this equates to our loss of Bakkies, however. But probably more because he is the talismanic captain.

Nightmare thought: wouldn’t it suck if the Aussies squeezed through because of this?

No comparison J.B.

You have Jean to replace Franz.
Jean considered by some, the best 12 in the world.

We have a no-body to replace Dan.

As a purist I would have preferred the injury to happen to neither – don’t like it when any rugby player gets injured – the Blacks with Carter and the Boks with Frans Steyn, in the semis: that’s the game the whole world was waiting for.

It will still be a helleva game but the general skill spectacle of both sides will be less; from a Bok perspective, big picture, the injury is good for our prospects and wtihout it I was very pessimistic the whole of yesterday.

Go Bokke – our forwards are something else.

I agree 100%. I really wanted the opportunity to test our best against the best that each team has to offer. That’s the spirit of competition.

Having said all that, each team is struggling with their own list of 1st choice players on the injury list.

NZ have Carter
We have Steyn
Aus have Samo

Them’s the breaks I guess.
