Willie le Roux and Lappies Labuschagne have finally been rewarded with spots in the Springbok training group. They are two of eight that are first timers in Springbok training groups this year. The others are Gio Aplon, Trevor Nyakane, JJ Engelbrecht, Lionel Mapoe, Wiehahn Herbst and Demetri Catrakilis. The group of players will assemble in Durban for the second training camp of the year, before the final squad for the Incoming Tours is selected. Players not considered due to injury include: JP Pietersen, Jaco Taute, Frans Steyn, Johan Goosen, Duane Vermeulen, Pat Cilliers and Frans Malherbe. ... Read Article23 May 2013
Tendai ‘Beast’ Mtawarira is back in Black in White to face the Bulls this weekend. The Beast returning is one of a few changes to the Sharks side. The only injury enforced change is that of JP Pietersen, Piet Lindeque replacing him in midfield. In the pack, the Beast is back along with Pieter-Steph du Toit, Anton Bresler hurting his shoulder in training. Bresler drops from the match 22, allowing Jandre Marais to cover the second row from the bench. The only other new face to the match 22 is Sean Robinson, who replaces Lindeque on the wood. Both Bismarck du Plessis and Butch James ... Read Article25 Apr 2013
Jan Serfontein, the player of last year's under 20 World Championship, will head the baby Boks defence in France. Serfontein and Kings wing Sergeal Petersen are two Super Rugby regulars to make Dawie Theron's squad and brilliant flyhalf Handre Pollard is another to play in a second successive tournament. Theron's squad lost a three-match series 2-1 to Argentina in Argentina. Serfontein, Petersen and Western Province's Cheslin Kolbe did not play in those matches. Bulls loose forward Ruan Steenkamp is captain. Serfontein and Pollard are the only two squad members from last year's ... Read Article14 May 2013
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has selected several uncapped Blues players in his training group. Hansen confirmed 38 names and this included many from the potent Blues backline. The Highlanders, despite only winning one match in this year's Super Rugby competition, have six players in the group. An obvious area of weakness is at hooker where Hansen has selected veterans Andrew Hore and Keven Mealamu and Canes Dane Coles. Options are limited and it certainly is a concern for New Zealanders. No overseas-based players were considered, as it is NZRFU policy. Among the uncapped players ... Read Article15 May 2013
French coach Philipe Saint-Andre has included three South African-born players for the three-Test series against the All Blacks in New Zealand. Racing Metro flank Bernard le Roux and Clermont prop Daniel Kotze join Antonie Claassen in a squad that includes eight new caps. Fijian-born Clermont winger Noa Nakaitaci is among the newcomers. Saint-Andre has rested flyhalf Francois Trinh-Duc, but included Toulon's Frederic Michalak. France play world champions New Zealand on June 8, 15 and 22 in Auckland, Hamilton and New Plymouth respectively. French super club Toulon's foreign dominance ... Read Article5 Mar 2013
MARK KEOHANE writes the Varsity Cup in its first year rocked. Since then it's just another professional tournament. The Varsity Cup may have the innovation of doing a few things differently, but what was supposed to be a celebration of student rugby somehow just seems like another tournament, in which the traditional power houses remain the traditional strengths in the tournament. Much has been made of the Port Elizabeth-based Nelson Mandela University display this season and equally there has been bewilderment at how poor Shimlas have been. But it seems the old one two of Stellenbosch University ... Read Article12 May 2013
Marcus Watson scored in extra time to beat the Blitzbokke in the London World Series Sevens Cup quarter-finals. The teams were level 14-all at full time. Watson's try came four minutes into extra time. England won 19-14. England had the chance to win the match with the last play of the game in normal time. They were awarded a penalty and opted to take a drop kick for goal. It missed. Watson then rounded off a move after England had retained possession for two minutes. South Africa suffered further embarrassment when they lost for a second time in the tournament to the USA and were eliminated ... Read Article8 Jan 2013
Limpopo will play in the Vodacom Cup as a separate side for the first time this year. The region, which is a sub-union of the Blue Bulls Rugby Union, has been granted a place in the tournament in its own rights to help foster rugby in South Africa’s far north. They join the 14 provincial unions as well as the returning Pampas XV from Argentina in the tournament, which kicks off in the second week of March and concludes in mid-May. The Polokwane-based Limpopo team will play in the North Section of the competition, along with the Blue Bulls, Golden Lions, Griffons, Leopards, Pumas, Valke ... Read Article6 Oct 2011

Can’t be an impact player if you can’t make an impact.
Butch is an insurance policy against injury, but a stupid one at that, because De Jongh would have been a real impact player, and in the event of a Steyn injury we could just have slotted Lambie in at 10, with Aplon going to fullback. If we wanted an attacking backline, I can’t think of a better one than Lambie at 10, De Jongh at 12, Hougaard at wing and Aplon at 15.
Nowhere does Butch fit into this picture.

He can’t. He is contractually required to write at least one pro Butch story per day.
If he can slip in casual references to Butch in other, unrelated articles as well, then its bonus time, and then Keo gives him some extra gas money so that he can run the campervan’s heater all night long. It gets cold down there close to the Antarctic circle, and no one wants to rely on long johns and OB’s to make it through the long night.
Hence, sacrificing journalistic integrity in exchange for the basic neccesatities of life is not a difficult choice to make, I guess.
You can’t judge a person until you’v been in their shoes, so give Ryan a break man. He does what he has to.

Good morning all.
alweer Butch?
6 Oct 2011, 07:52 am
I’m not sure that having an attacking backline is what our coaching staff has in mind. It certainly did not appear to be their plan when we beat the AB’s a few weeks back, by being defensive and making sure we made our kicks. Viewed in this light I can see why they selected Butch ahead of JDJ as they probably see Butch as more of a defensive threat
Not saying I agree, just trying to understand the logic

I mean, if it was a straight choice between snuggling up to Cardinelli in that beat up old campervan for some shared body heat, and churning out another Butch article I’d also be writing Butch up as the man Dan Carter looks up to.
Thankfully, I don’t have to make that choice.

It was Butch who closed out the game v Australia in 2010 to ensure the Boks avoided the whitewash.

6 Oct 2011, 08:24 am
This is finals, knockout rugby people. And picking Butch on the bench is an absolute necessity with F Steyn out for good.
If M Steyn goes down with 20 mins to go and there are 3 points in it, would you all really be comfortable seeing Lambie go to 10 and Aplon go to 15?!
In WC quarter final?!
Against Australia?!
Give me a farking break the lot of you.
Picking Butch, a WC winner already, on the bench is an absolute must.
6 Oct 2011, 08:25 am
@President_of_the_Sharks_rugby_experts(sharks_lover)-25: Its a perplexing move though, they renewed his contract at the end of last year. Surely it wouldve been the more ideal situation to simply not do that?

@Taahirah(Taahirah)-27:
Aparently he was seen training with the Pumas without permission. Thats actually the reason he was called in for a hearing. Not because of the cop thing.
I think the Bulls are just happy to not have to deal with the publicity of playing a cop killer.

@John Galt(John Galt)-28: I know but I have a sneaky suspicion they using that as an excuse to get rid of him now.
6 Oct 2011, 08:32 am
Out of interest, does anyone know how many times the Boks have beaten the All Blacks with Butch plaing at 10?
I seem to recall that Jake’s Tri Nations win in 2004 involved only 1 win over NZ, and that was with Pretorius as flyhalf. Can’t remember who played in 2005, or in the 1 point Rustenberg win in 2006.
But I would venture a guess that in his short career Morne has more wins over the All Blacks under the belt than Butch in his entire career.
And this despite Morne playing in a team coached by Divvy and saddled with a bunch of old **** players.
6 Oct 2011, 08:36 am
@Tacitus(Deucalion)-30: I dont think any – ***** was flyhalf in 2004 when they won the comp at Ellis – i think ?

You know, we already have Smith and Botha out. We can’t afford Bismarck to not be starting and Beast to be out of the 22.

So are we saying that Butch has never played in a winning test against the All Blacks? I thought there might have been 1 or 2. Who was flyhalf in 2005, when Jake won our home Tri Nations test against NZ?
So far we have:
2004: 1 win – Andre Pretorius
2005: 1 win – ?
2008: 1 win, Ricky January at scrumhalf but who the heck was flyhalf?
Then we have 3 wins in 2009, all with Morne at 10, and 1 win in 2011, also with Morne.

so ruan is as much a hero as morne but then again ruan wasnt the starter when we got nilled in 2010 now was he?
p.s. butch was the starter in 2008.

I have already posted a comment that Butch has played in 10 matches against the AB’s.

@once more unto the breach, dear springboks, once more…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-76: talking rubbish, ruan’s injured ankle flared up and he was subbed at half-time. the score was 14 – 3 to the Boks with ruan having scored a TRY and a penalty!
6 Oct 2011, 09:21 am
in fact, morne steyns contribution at KP (31 pts vs the ab’s) was the most outstanding game by a bok 10 vs the abs in years but he can by no means be held solely responsible for the boks recent decent record vs the ab’s (5 from 11?)
1 win, 2 losses with butch as starter
1 wins, 1 loss with ruan (i could be wrong here)
4 wins, 2 losses with morne (again i could be wrong)
dont have the time for the research but i am thereabouts i think.
6 Oct 2011, 09:21 am
The whole Butch vs Morne debate isnt the real issue here though. This is my only problem with the continuos punting of the Butch book.
The real issue and glaring weakness in the Bok side is Pierre Spies and his continued inability to step up to the plate.
Everyone has improved steadily over the last few games, Rossouw, Habanna, JP, hell even Smitty!
You have to know that when a nobody like Ben McAlman says that he cant wait to play Spies again because hes a softy, that the oke is nought but a passenger.

6 Oct 2011, 09:22 am
@justrugby(justrugby)-72: how is that Smits fault??
Smit playing TH brought success and failure, he also did not select himself there, but at the request of the coaching staff
no other hooker covers a prop position, so see it for what it is , Smit is chosen as hooker which is his preferred position, the problem being only CJ is a prop that can play both sides , even though he is not a great scrummager
so rather point out the truth , Beast is dropped as he cannot cover both sides, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SMIT
6 Oct 2011, 09:23 am
“so ruan is as much a hero as morne”…?…wow…
with all due respect, that must be the most ridiculous sounding thing i’ve heard this morning.
6 Oct 2011, 09:23 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-80:
The score could have been so much more had Ruan actually kicked the other 4 or so goals he missed. Memories of a furious PdV standing on the sidelines just before halftime.

@Transformation(Transformation)-73: cool man.
@once more unto the breach, dear springboks, once more…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-76: no, thats not true.
ruan was missing kicks yes, but the boks were scoring tries. And no, morne did not win the 1st test at KP, ruan did.
check it, gotta go, cheers!

@justrugby(justrugby)-79: hiyas JR , yep
our own fault though mate , we should have walked the game , Sharks their own worst enimy right now
oh and the Sharks aint playing their c team??
6 Oct 2011, 09:25 am
@Tacitus(Deucalion)-78: Morne’s contribution in Bloem 2009 was to kick 3 penalties and he missed the conversion to mossie’s try.
6 Oct 2011, 09:26 am
@once more unto the breach, dear springboks, once more…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-76:
Are you talking about the Lions series?
No, Ruan kicked everything over in the KP Lion test. Dont think he missed a single kick.
In the second Lions test, he was missing everything and they brought on Morne.
So effectively Ruan had everything to do with the first win and Morne had everything to do with winning the second.
Not sure who played 10 in the last test.
6 Oct 2011, 09:26 am
So many flaws in Ryan’s argument.
Firstly Butch has not been picked as an IMPACT player but merely as a SUITABLE & RELIABLE SUB.
Butch is not expected to come on and change the game, rather he’s there in case Morne or one of our centres goes down. If anything he’ll only take field with 10 minutes to go.
Secondly, CJ got the nod ahead of Beast because of his versatility as we can’t go into this match with TH Cover.
Gurthro and Beast has been in a dual for the starting berth since the home leg of TriNations and cleary anybody can see Gurthro is the better player at the moment.
Another reason Beast dropped out apart from the CJ versatile factor is that Div figured that vs the Aussies the game is more likely to break open in the last.
quarter.
Therefor GIO APLON got the nod as he’d have more IMPACT in this type of match than BEAST, who probably will get on the bench should we meet NZ as they present are bigger threat upfront.
Lastly, JS gets the nod as the captain but also with the expectation that the first hour will be tight and will suit John.
So even if Biz started he would’ve had less impact from minute 1 than he would normally have from minute 50.
Do you guys at KEO analyse anything?
Or do you just take things at face value without considering the merit of the options taken and weighing up the pro’s and con’s of each decision?
6 Oct 2011, 09:26 am
@Tacitus(Deucalion)-64: Wasnt Wacko Jaco the flyhalf in 2004??

6 Oct 2011, 09:27 am
Steyn is the right man to start, why do you guys keep going on about Butch? He sucks, can’t kick and he is damn slow, he should not even be in the 22. Smit is solid for the 1st half, and when Bismarck comes on in the 2nd we gain massive momentum, same with Hougie.

World Cup is the Springbok’s for the taking. The Ausies are certainly vulnerable, after losing to the Irish, they have a weakness and we need to exploit it. It does not have to be pretty, as long as we can grind out the win.
Guys like Heinrich and Schalck needs to be at their absolute best. The rest of the forward pack needs to to dominate. The Backs have just seemed impotent and flat footed, especially now with F. Steyn out, it will be even harder. We cant afford to kick so much possession away like we did against Samoa, we will get punished. Its quite simple, we have the forwards that can hang on to the ball and setup multiple phases.
The Ball carrier needs to be supported, and when their is a line break via on of our backs, someone needs to be on his shoulder for the quick of load. If we do kick into space, the guys all need to move up as one and quickly to kill the counter attack before it starts. Jaque Fourie and Bryan Habana must stop shooting up from their defensive line, a guy like cooper will exploit the space in a flash. Every one should move up in a line as one and quickly, with the loosies going round the back as cover defense.
The Ausies will, and usually manages well, to create the overlap, the boks need to top this from happening. Habs, JP and Lambie needs to get invloved more on attack, pop up in the line, run acute angles from the back, and keep the Ausie defense guessing. Finally, ball handling. Don’t drop passes, keep possession an build momentum. These are all basics of rugby, no need for a complicated game plan. Play to the structures, but also be willing to play the situation as you see it. Have the freedom to break away from your structure if their is a opportunity to score, and it requires something different to finish.
Oh and just make sure to win every set pieces on your own ball, whether it be at scrum time or line outs.
I am no rugby expert, but applying all this, is not hard, and we can beat the Ausies by doing the basics rite. Exactly how the Irish did, they were never fancy in that win. They just got the job done.
Go Bokke!!

@grant10(grant10)-127:
Agree entirely.
The Boks don’t have an ounce of attacking strategy in their kit. Their entire regime is based on defence and scoring via penalties.
Frans Steyn’s loss is a serious, serious, serious, dent in that strategy.
30-50% of the points they expected to garner have simply gone. There is no replacement.
Previously, SA had the luxury of leaving a world class player on the bench and bringing him on as a straight out impact player. It worked.
But the playing field has changed. SA no longer has a monster kicker in their ranks.
They have been brought down to the level of other teams, none of whom would dream of starting a match with their best player on the bench.
6 Oct 2011, 10:07 am
Bok rugby has been hijacked by soft c ock managers and a Fat Boys Club.
Roll on 2012.
Saru….call Mallet or Mitchell……and let us move forward into a merit based system where player power is reserved for on field performances……not this farcial retarded situations where a chosen few are untouchable despite absolute proof of better players sitting on the farken sidelines.

Why are you so quick to call everything you don’t agree with dumb?

What if their strategy works out?
What will your argument or justification be to take pride should the impossible in your view transpire?
You call the team and management names yet in the same breathe you holding out for what you believe has no chance of happening because they don’t share in your view but just in case they get it right you’ll still be here sharing in the spoils of victory?
Can you please breakdown your reasoning and sentiment, without calling anybody names please?
6 Oct 2011, 10:09 am
Everyone watch Spies. Watch how he positions himself as far away from the action as possible. It is so frustrating knowing that Brussow and Burger are tackling everything that breaths while Pierre the p-ussy sits and watches. It is raining. It is a knock out game. IF there was any game to start Alberts, it is this game.
So, my predictions for the game
Danie will get the ball ripped/knock on nearly every time he carries.
Pierre will hide/be driven back
Smit will be a liability, including set pieces
du Preez and Morne will kick 95% of the ball aimlessly – the other 5% will not go past JdV. We have no backline on attack with JdV.
Smit to do his humble loser speech at the end of the game, delighted that he finished his career as the most capped bok of all time. Well done Smit, you will be remembered as a LEGEND! Go pay someone to write another egotistical book you tub of lard.
6 Oct 2011, 10:09 am
When you see John Smit run on the field and you actually gasp at how fat and cumbersome he is, then you know that not all is right in the camp. For him to start ahead of Bis is an insult to the intelligence of all coaches. Aus are already planning to target the scrum when Smit is on. They will get momentum and we will then throw Bis and Aplon on to try and play catch up. Bis will give away some penalties because he is trying too hard and Aplon will get caught behind the gain line trying to make something out of nothing. Butch will get brought on and will also get unfairly treated when he attempts to grubber through the defense trying to break down the now confident Aus backs. Man, you dont need Spielberg to work out this movie. Get the game over, fly the boys back and do what we should have done 3 years ago. Fire Snor, Muir and Gold.

@Brads(Brads)-135:
Now what’s wrong with relying on your defence and scoring via penalties if the results show that we’re winning?
The Aussies are a running team yet they just got shown up by Ireland who used defensive tactics against them, does this mean that the Aussies should become more defensive now as their attacking strategy ended in the RESULT OF A LOSS?

No coach is perfect, Mallet had a dream run but it ended it tears when he dropped his captain taking a half-fit Bobby in his place after he allowed media hype to get to him.
Mitchell is one of the most successful AB coaches ever, yet if you look carefully the AB’s have been at the top of the ladder most of the times during the Pro Era with not even a handful of their coaches having a bad record, simply because of the calibre of players they’ve had at their disposal.
Similiar to Wonder Coach Robbie Deans who’s struggling with average players in certain positions in the Aussie camp now he’s been reduced to an average coach.
I said it yesterday, most times a coach is only as good as quality players he can choose.

In case you didn’t see the scoreboard vs Wales

Not missed tackled stats, amount of possession, tries scored.
The only stat that matters is POINTS collected.
I’m still waiting to see the team who’s gonna give this Welsh side a hiding, by that I mean beat them convincingly.
Of the 8 remaining teams you’d be hard-pressed to find anybody whipping anybody as all of them have their strenghts and weaknesses and it’s the performance on the day that will decide the outcome, not ranking positions or favouritism tags etc.

@wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-138: There is no reasoning in it, its purely emotional. Now I have no problem with showing emotion and supporting your opinion except when it is brought up as fact. We all get emotional about something in relation to the sport we luv , I get emotional about Barnes, Owens, Bryce Lawrence especially :lo: but one thing remains for me and that is that no matter whether or not the Boks lift that trophy, the way they have gone about trying to win it speaks volumes for me and deserves my support.
They have been the epitome of professionals in my opinion, have put their bodies on the line everyone of them, given their best ( which for some is not good enough) and will remain “my BOKKE”. Win or Lose I want to thank them for the journey they have given me as a supporter so far and I look forward to that journey possibly continuing. They are not always going to win but hell they are going to give it their best as it always is in life. So PDV, and all your team, hats off to you and “gooi mielies Bokke”

same as some dont give pdivvy credit for how well we are doing so far?? right????
i have not said SMit is the best hooker at present , but he sure as hell aint as bad as you guys make him out to be , and even when he has a great game , the silence re it is defening
i also understand however why Pdiv is starting SMit and then bringing on the likes of Bismark
so lets rather give Divvy credit
6 Oct 2011, 10:21 am
All you prophets of doom are a real pain in the poopshoot. Never has there been a Bok team (or any sports team, for that matter) that has pleased everyone.
But even with the debate about Smit and Butch and Spies, this is the closest to a unanimously agreed Bok team we’ve had in many years. It’s a bloody good squad, and a potentially world beating match 22.
All of you forsaking them now and washing your hands of them would probably never have been 100% behind them anyway, regardless of selections or coaches. So the loss of your support is pretty insignificant, really.
For the rest of us – we’re about to face Australia in the QF of the World Cup with a potent pack and a great backline. It doesn’t get much better than this.

15. Lambie ( been solid through out the tournament)
14. JPP (hope he can quickly return to his super rugby form.)
13. Jaque Fourie
12. Juan De Jongh (Call it a gamble, but this guy could spark something at 12)
11. Gio Aplon ( has not had his chance, and should be given the opportunity)
10. Morne Steyn ( I will admit, we need his accurate boot, just need to work on his defense)
9. Hougaardt ( This guy is brilliant, best No. 9 and wing in the country)
8. Alberts. ( Spies means nothing, Alberts has been consistently good)
7. Schalck ( plays like a man possessed)
6. Brussow ( He must repeat his performance in that last TN game)
5. Matfield ( Needs to dominate own and opposing line outs)
4. Russow ( Has done his job well, so far at the tournament)
3. CJ ( Srummed well, and must put in a big performance at scrum time)
2. Smit ( He is our captain, replace with Bissy at Half time, no later)
1. Steenkamp ( has Scrummed like a warior)
16. Bismark ( Need to come on at half time, will make a huge impact)
17. Beast. ( when he comes on he needs to make a big impact at scrum time)
18. Spies ( not sure who else, only use encase of emergency.)

You’re right, supporting your team with emotion and passion is how it should be.
But when discussing team tactics, selection and strategies you have no ground to stand on when calling it dumb, stupid fat boy club and all these degrading things.
Especially not when the results have been in FAVOUR of the team’s decisions.
The coaches/players tell us during interviews what’s the reason behind certain things.
Why should we then come here and tell them they’re stupid and they should do it another way when cleary what they are doing has been planned for a while, carefully considered and as long as it’s working we can discuss and debate it but fact remains their plans are working and they’re right to stick with it.

On any bench, you need players to (i) up te tempo, (ii) close a game down, and (iii) cover potential injuries.
Variation is key.
Butch might not cover (i), but he certainly covers (ii) and (iii).
In fact, he might be the only one on the bench capable of performing (ii).

Like I said, there’s nothing better during the build up of a big Test than having a good debate about tactics and selections.
But when people disagree and start throwing personal insults and make accusations towards the team when what they are doing is working but you still want them to change for you to find vindication in that is wrong on so many levels.
If we lost to Wales and Samoa with the tactics we’ve been using I’d be just as much against it as the biggest critics around here.

Are you suggesting a one defence system fits all or what was put on show last time by the opposition is all that needs to be prepared for?

Blind luck is my suggestion.

Old Snor is really back to his best,
squeaking his way from interview to test.

For all the Bok deserters, the Cape Spanish Supporters Union has decided to open their doors for a final round of floor crossing. Submissions to join the Mighty Half Blacks must be made by midnight on Friday. And for those who don’t make the cut, they have launched a Samoa Supporters Union (kind of like the House of Representatives) with much lower entry criteria. They’ll be known henceforth as the Cape Porras, and they’re waiting for your Please call Me.

@Sharkie10(Sharkie10)-157:
Good team BUT a few naive selections.Namely:
-Hougaard at 9,as bad as du Preez has been he is STILL a better 9 than Hougaard who has an average pass,poor kicking out of hand,gets caught in rucks,suspect decision making.Has hardly played at 9 in last 2 yrs as well.He is great with ball in hand which is why at present he is class there.But he isnt an international 9,wing yes.
-CJ is the mediocre at everything he does.What game did he scrum well? He has been benching every game bar Namibia.Jannie has scrummed well in all his games,if he goes down Boks are short at 3.CJ is prone to slipping bind,penalties for incorrect engage etc He is very erratic,jannie is the rightful starter at present.
Otherwise good team.Except i would still put Hougaard on bench to up the ante with Bismark.Habana still very important cog in defense especially scramble and umbrella D.
CJ was rubbish in S15,had ONE decent game as a sub vs AB’s.Thats not enough to surpass Jannie period.

@Brads(Brads)-177:
Firstly, you can never put down a result to luck.
Like I told Grant10 yesterday, that means you’re believe there are exterior forces at play, some sort of divine intervention.
Do you that sangoma’s, leprichons, prayers etc have impact on a rugby result?
Moving on.
That’s not at all what I’m suggesting.
In case you forgot. vs Wales & Samoa we scored 1 try each, that takes away your argument that we rely only on our defence.
So then what was the difference between a win and a loss when we played those teams, can you point that out for me please?
And please, don’t say luck.

Since when does wanting the best possible side to play, giving us the best possible chance of winning this thing constitute a lack of support ??
When the whistle blows the side is supported 100% irrespective of who is playing , being a supporter gives one the right to an opinion and the right to highlight shortcomings, being a “blind” supporter is imo is a lot worse and a far bigger pain in the poopshoot !!
I can tell you right now that I don’t agree with especially Spies an JS starting, does that mean I won’t be supporting them at kick off ??………………………..not on your nilly boet !!!
6 Oct 2011, 10:41 am
@willievz(willievz)-188:
Quick breakdown of Ryan’s view.
1. Butch should’ve started, he’s not impact player.
2. Beast should’ve been on bench in place CJ (You’ll pick that one apart)
3. Gio Aplon is good impact (but Ryan fails to reckon in the merits of it , meaning vs Aussies it’ll work but against NZ Beast will take his place as the AB’s are a different challenge)
4. JS/Biz

@justrugby(justrugby)-193:
That’s the thing, it’s all fair on your side to say you don’t agree with it and give your reasoning.
On my part I’m no blind supporter but i’ll back the decisions of the team WHEN IT’S WORKING, which seems to be the case right now.
The only thing we or me personally doesn’t like is insults and degrading of our team and downright disrespect for their decisions.

So Steve Jobs’s death is a personal tragedy for his family and friends, not a matter for international moments of silence.
Wish he was still alive, but for his family’s sake, not for the world’s sake. Just like I wish the random guy who died in a car accident was still alive.

@capebull(capebull)-176: I f that is so, then you give some stats, that show that Spies is of any use. Alberts has played far less minutes of rugby at the world cup than Spies, but has had twice the impact that spies has had.
6 Oct 2011, 10:46 am
Samoa stats
Tackles made and %
Bross 27 -79%
Vic 18-78%
Burger 16-70%
Morne 16- 67%
Jannie 12-67%
F Steyn 12-55%
J Fourie 8-67%
Spies 6-67%
Alberts 4-50%
Lambie 2-40%
Alberts played 40% of the time Spies did 60% , so Alberst could have done 6, if he played same time @ 50%
Before this game Spies was 81% effective and Alberts 61% in his tackling, thats why Rassie recommend Spies Not Alberts

I reckon Butch will come on and gift the Aussie 6 points to close out a record win. The twat is the worst 10 in the country but there is nothing like good PR to fool most of the people, most of the time. Amanda Knox gets out of jail with slick PR. Dewani hires a PR guru before he hires a lawyer and stays out of court for months on end with bullshytelitis… and Hitler got all of Germany on his side with Goebbels… Bottom line is that the B ullshit always ends … The myth of White Superiority is on its knees. I will like apply the coup de grace within this month

6 Oct 2011, 10:49 am
@Sharkie10(Sharkie10)-201: I will say that Alberts every now and then tackles a guy out the park so does Danie , Spies generally just puts the guy down.
But I would rather take 80% effective than 60%
6 Oct 2011, 10:49 am
Maybe I must give an example.
Say now PDV started Butch at 12.
I would’ve been shocked.
But after Div would’ve given his reasoning for it at the press conference I would see his view on it.
He would probably see Butch as stronger defensive at 12, a better kicking game with an eye on playing for position, and also JdV would have an oppurtunity later when it opens up.
I would’ve been sceptical of it BUT i can’t go calling Div and Butch names just because i don’t agree with it.
Instead I’d support it, and only when it fails will i have a very good reason to criticize the coach and the team.
How can you cry foul over things that haven’t even happened yet?

@capebull(capebull)-202: A game is not only based on tackles made boet. With possession alberts has been far more effective, When Spies gets the ball he runs across field, scared of making contact.
Alberts on the other hand gets over the advantage line by running hard and straight.

Butch tackle stats 60%
6 Oct 2011, 10:52 am
how refereshing, a coach that actually admits he didn’t do a good job..
Slade managed only 5 of 9 shots at goal against Canada, meaning his World Cup percentage is now running at a lowly 62.5 per cent (15/24), but All Blacks assistant coach Wayne Smith believes Byrne’s influence will turn the young first five-eighth’s statistics around.
”Mick will really make a difference to our goal kickers, no doubt about that,” Smith said. ”All I have to say about the goal kicking is our kicking coach is back and he can take that responsibility off me because I’ve been an absolute failure.”
Smith doesn’t think Slade’s percentages do him justice, citing the ball being used at the cup and Wellington’s tricky wind as contributing factors.
”It was difficult [against Canada]. The wind was swirling and I think he kicked the ball pretty well.”
Smith recalled Slade banging over 11 goals for Canterbury in the ITM Cup semifinal against Wellington last year in saying he was a proven goal kicker.
”As I say he will probably get a bit better biomechanical advice than he’s been getting [with Byrne back].”

@>^..^< katman(katman)-155:
u have a valid point, but it is gut-wrenching not to see players like Bismarck, Alberts and Hougaard start. Bismarck in particular is an absolute travesty, not just cos its his time, but for the whole team’s chances. I dont think they’ll win but i hope they do, very much so, but i personally wont derive any joy from it even if they do cos something’s not right in the state of china here when bismarck cannot be selected for this team. sorry thats the way that i feel, but there are doubtlessly far more loyal Bok supporters out there.
6 Oct 2011, 10:58 am
@Gunther(gunther)-209: And we’d be called the iBoks, and each player would be made redundant within 4 months of selection.
6 Oct 2011, 10:58 am
I must say, I can see some logic in Smit starting and also, I hate to say it, Spies.
If the emphasis is going to be on dominating up front in the early part of the game, then Smit is a stronger scrummager than Bissie and more accurate thrower, whilst Spies adds a better lineout option than Alberts and more speed covering the backline against Aussie line breaks.
Besides, Smit is definately no impact player either. The plan is obviously to keep it tight, wear them down, then attack them with our bench.

A whole lot of people (they know who they are) are just waiting on the edge of their seats to say:

(not, “hard luck, you gave of your best and it was great while it lasted.”)
but
“I told you so.”
Sick. I’m actually wondering if they would prefer the team to lose just so that they can say “I told you so”. The way they carry on, they cannot fully be behind the team… I guess it’s their way of trying to have some semblance of triumph should the team fail.
These are not real fans.

Fair enough, but Div has breaked it down why those guys are on the bench and not starting even if some believe they should be there right from the start.
It’s been working so far, if it fails it all falls on him and we can all have a go at them if we want to and he’ll have to live with it.
But Div is backing himself so even if he fails he knows he did it his way and won’t die wondering what if.
And should it continue to be a success what will the doubters cling to?

@David(David)-220: Agree David. Just feel for Beast being left out. Then with a 4/3 split one of the props had to take a fall for the team. Had to be Beast unfortunately as we will never start a game without two hookers and cover for our Th. Don’t really rate CJ and once they take off Steenkamp feel that CJ is not like for like in the change. Beast and Steenkamp very similar. In that we bring on fresh legs and lose nothing in our scrums, but rather gain something with a fresh player but equally good.
With our injury problems to Habs, JPP and Brussow we needed to cover all of them on the bench. Not sure why Brussow was with the rehab players yesterday could just be getting over bumps and bruises. Only that Flo is on the bench tells me it might be more than that.
We have a good team just need to keep the discipline imperative that we do that. From here on discipline and defence will win it for most teams left standing. First time tackles is a must. Not sure if our scramble defence will be okay against Oz. They get through us and that could be 7 points straight up.
Do hope that JdV has a blinder. We need him too.

They’re the worst sort of supporters, even when the results are going our way they’re still not satisfied.
They want everything to be the way THEY see it to be the correct way, not the coaches and the team and are dismissive of their decisions whether it works or not because it isn’t the way they would’ve done it.
On a serious note, studies have shown this to be signs of an egotistical nature where they’ll love you when you do what they want but hate you if you disagree.

6 Oct 2011, 11:21 am
@cab(cab)-240:
That’s alright and I know you’re no basher.
But I want to ask you, can you at least see the merit of the decision of starting JS, and it’s been working so far so why should they change it?
By merit i mean – Div has decided that John is captain, he’ll run on and keep a calm head in the opening exchanges. The game will be tight so this will suit him. JS is also no impact player therefor there’s no use in sending him on at minute 50.
Add to that you’ll gain max impact out of Biz from minute 50 when defences have tired, also even if Biz started he won’t have the same impact from the beginning as the opposition will be more alert and fired up and contain him better than they would’ve after after 50.
Can you at least see into Div’s decision when you look at it that way?

@cab(cab)-230: Morning Cabbie,
One thing I have huge, huge respect for Peter is his loyalty. Never seen anything like that ever. For me that shows top class quality in a person. He has my respect.
His only mistake in this world cup was playing his key players against Samoa. Should have rested them. Our reserves would have done the job. We might not have had as many injuries and still had our play maker in Fransie. Easy said now but he should have.
We must all just get behind Peter and his Boks.
I have also learned over the years to enjoy his way of saying things. Damn funny. At first never did. But he has grown on many of us to really enjoy him.
Whether he is the best coach or not, he has my respect and support.

@cab(cab)-252:
I’m presuming you’re not really meaning I’m having a go at Div when you said ‘most of you fall in that category.’?
Just to be clear I’ve been backing him all the way during the WC as his decisions have proven correct just as I criticised him last year when his lack of development of players got shown up, his decision of fattening up JS failed and his choice of not resting his key players on the end of year tour 2009 came back to haunt us.
Div obviously doesn’t share you view that JS is done, in fact he’s put his faith in him to do the job as i’ve described above and he’s backed John do come at this very moment since the start of the TriNations.

its like the old SA ne, if you dont support then you a traitor, well guess what i’m proud to a traitor, i’ll stand by my own principles when i consider something to be unfair unlike most wafting fanny-arsed compliant sheep.

@cane(cane)-247: YouKnowWho was (erroneously) informed that he and his ilk could rewrite history in our new rainbow nation. So forgive him, but he is on a mission to change a few things. His big project this year has been to change the definition of Nazi from “rightwing socialists who advocate Aryan supremacy” to “nasty people who poke fun at fat coloured expats”. He’s been struggling for traction on this, but is one determined little beaver.

6 Oct 2011, 11:27 am
@wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-253: I think also with John starting we can weigh it up and see the situation. If we start to fall behind then we just bring on Bissie. Even if it means in the first half. If we are still close on the score board then we bring on Bissie in the 2nd half. Not after 50min. I would bring him on for the full last 40min or 35min. When the otherside will be feeling tired in their legs.
Just have to see how the game is going. If we need Bissie sooner like I said, we just bring him on.
John is a powerful scrummager he will tire them up for Bissie to just run havoc over them. I wish we had Beast though on the bench too.

@cane(cane)-269: No Cane. We would still have won that game. I am talking of 4 players that should have been restested and protected from those thugs. Fransie, Burger, Brussow and JPP should have been rested. We should have put them in cotton wool for the quarter. We had good enough reserves to take the knocks there for the best players to play in this quarter injury free.
We would still have beaten them with our reserves, I have no doubt about it.

@capebull(capebull)-205:
Would rather have a guy who gets over the advantage line at will-ball carrying,is destructive at collision points-his cleaning is superb,makes his tackles especially of the premier ball carriers who opposition use to get over advantage to drive momentum-Alberts with his superior bulk/power/technique hit them behind advantage while Spies just rides tackle.Would much rather have a player who counter rucks with accuracy and power which Alberts does.
Alberts is a bigger,stronger more powerful player vitally intergral especially to dominating collision which Boks have been talking about all week AND knockouts place premium at collision point.Spies isnt as adapt at those points.
6 Oct 2011, 11:36 am

My 2 cents worth – Bismarck should be starting but if Smit can hold his own for the first half then I think Bismarck will be unleashed just after half time and man he´s going to be like a bull in a china shop. If we can pressurise the ozzies till then theyre going to struggle come subs time.
CJ instead of Beast – I know its for the tighthead aspect but Beast is far more dynamic. Again glad F Louw is there as insurance for Heinrich and if Heinrich is struggling it might be wise to put Burger at 8 and have both F Louw and Brussouw attacking the ball in tandem – Doubt very much if Pocock could handle that. Then bring Alberts on in the last 20. We have loads of loose forward fire power in this pack, ideally you would want to play Bismarck, Rossouw, Alberts, F Louw, Brussouw and Schalk at the same time with Jannie and Gurthro making up the numbers. The ozzies wont stand a chance in the loose with that configuration.
Lets just hope Jean catches a effing wake up and starts passing the ball.

Ye Spies is the only selection which I’m not entirely comfortable with.
There’s nothing wrong with his ball carrying when there’s a bit of space, but the thing is there won’t be much on offer in this match early on that’s why he could’ve been better from the bench as you suggested. Also his defensive is soft.
Let’s hope he fronts as Keo and his gang always say.

They always go so overboard in their opinions.
I mean, James could do fine as a sub. He covers center, he covers 10. He can pass, he can kick. So he’s not Quade Cooper. Does that mean he can’t play on the bench? No. Does it mean it’s a horrible choice to put him there? No.
Of course people can argue he should start in front of Steyn, but this histerics just because James is on the bench is ridiculous.

Jobs was awarded the National Medal of Technology by President Ronald Reagan in 1984 with Steve Wozniak (among the first people to ever receive the honor), and a Jefferson Award for Public Service in the category “Greatest Public Service by an Individual 35 Years or Under” (also known as the Samuel S. Beard Award) in 1987. On November 27, 2007, Jobs was named the most powerful person in business by Fortune Magazine.
On November 5, 2009, Jobs was named the CEO of the decade by Fortune Magazine. In September 2011, Jobs was ranked No.17 on Forbes: The World’s Most Powerful People. In December 2010, the Financial Times named Jobs its person of the year for 2010, ending its essay by stating, “In his autobiography, John Sculley, the former PepsiCo executive who once ran Apple, said this of the ambitions of the man he had pushed out: ‘Apple was supposed to become a wonderful consumer products company. This was a lunatic plan. High-tech could not be designed and sold as a consumer product.’ How wrong can you be”

@Puma(Puma)-308: Thanks – just hope they consider this and not only think of Francois Louw as a replacement in case Heinrich gets injured. If the tactic is to starve Oz of the ball then that is as mean as it gets. Perhaps the only other thing you could do is put Alberts on in Tandem with Rossouw but theyre never going to sub Matfield. But that would be really insane. I doubt the Ozzies would see any ball. Its all about selection and combinations and i´m glad to see that they have been very open this World Cup as evidenced by Frans Steyn repalcing Jean after just 1 great game, by the willingess to get Houghaard involved and keeping Lambie at 15. Perhaps Rassie is having a bigger influence than we may know? Either way at least we can see the thinking is not static and having Louw on the bench instead of 2 props is evidence of this. They have quite rightly identified Pocock as the danger man. the backs are lethal and theres not much we can do about that except starve them of ball. Only way to do that is dominate set pieces and breakdown. So I´m hoping thats the thinking. We must nullify their backs if we want to win this one. look at the Samoa game – a guy like Tuilagi is only effective if given space and ball – otherwise he was the least of our worries – in fact he harldy figured in the game.

Despite that, you alone seem to have taken my initial general challenge very personally… And all you have done since is try to deflect the attention away from yourself by hurling insults at me and making (baseless) allegations. That says a lot.
Do you feel guilty about something? Do you feel bad that you now personally criticise John Smit (with the mob) every day like a broken record?
I say it again: Whatever happened in the previous 4 years, the RWC is the culmination of all of that, the Boks have made it their main goal. It is too late to change anything now, and you and me have no influence whatsoever over team selection or tactics. So why gnash your teeth in dismay? Get behind your team and take the win, or the loss.
But it is the positioning that gets to me… too many people lining themselves up for a big “I told you so” should the Boks fail… no way can they be fully behind the team (when they don’t even support the captain), I bet when the score starts turning against the Boks a part of themselves starts willing on the defeat just so that they can say “I told you so.”
A sort of mini triumph in defeat.

6 Oct 2011, 12:01 pm
@Puma(Puma)-320: My reckoning is he´s there as insurance in case Morne gets injured because Lambie hasnt had enough time at 10 for such a high pressure game. You dont want to be relying on him with 60 minutes on the clock – not saying he cant do it but its a huge gamble if Morne picks up and early injury and second in all likeliness he will replace Jean if Jean doesnt pick his game up. Theyve identified Jean as problematic after Steyn illuminated what can happen if the 12 distributes the ball and tries to step. So I think his inclusion was a good one tactically. Obviously youd rather have de Jongh as a sub for 12 but Butch gives that extra insurance for 10.

I try to keep it civil when in debate with people, how other people interact with each other shouldn’t be my problem you’re right.
6 Oct 2011, 12:03 pm
One thing that is beyond a shadow of a doubt is that if we lose on Saturday, John Smit’s reputation will be completely ruined, as will the positive memories of what he has achieved to date.
The public will absolutely crucify him, with me carrying a burning torch in the front ranks of the mob.
He has insisted on continuing as captain – in the face of massive public criticism, and for him more than anyone else, it comes down to “judge me on the World Cup”.
We all know Divvy is k*k, and we don’t expect much of him. But John has a much bigger reputation that’s at stake. And personally I think he misjudged the impact this would have on his legacy, or else he was blinded by his own overestimation of his abilties.
For his sake, and ours, let’s hope the Boks can pull it through. But more so for his sake, because this WILL ruin everything for him if we are unsuccesfull.

Good comments Ryan re: Smit – his inclusion in the start is all the more baffling given his diabolical performance – DIABOLICAL – not to mention irresponsible – against Samoa: on for three minutes, gives away free kick on slow lineout throw and yellow-carded for kicking ball way after conceding a penalty.
The only thing you can say is he can’t play impact and at least Bismarck will come on instead of him, if you see what I mean. As long as it is not too late.

@Slumtown(Slumtown)-341: Yes was gonna say he is there to cover for JdV not only for injury but if he don’t shape up.
My feeling if Lambie had to slot into 10 it would be like a duck takes to water. He is even better there than fb. But for now he is playing well at the back and he is a safe player there for us. So has to stay there.
Did you see my post back to yours when you mentioned moving Burger to 8 and Flo to 7 with Brussow at 6. I thought it was a brillant idea that. Pocock will never get near our ball……hahaha.

@Tacitus(Deucalion)-2: Absolutely Tac.
If Lambie was at 10 then definitely we can have JDJ at 12 with Aplon at the back with Hougie on the wing. With JPP on the other wing. BUT if Morne is at 10 then no way can we have JdJ at inside centre mate. Then we have to have Butch to cover at 12.

yeah bud.. i’m with you and have posted ad nauseum about why people need to a) trash one player to demonstrate support of another… and b) have to insult someone who has a different opinion to their’s… everyone’s entitled to their personal foibles… but not necessary to get so personal…
boring i know…
but also really enjoy the good natured banter that can cut close to the bone without drawing blood…!!
Well thanks Puma and you??? Always well… believe attitude is a personal choice to make every day…!!
Yeah… i’m nervous as all hell… can hardly sit still… i really believe we have the players to win it… and do believe starting js is the right move and have been saying from the start of the controversy that i’d always start with smit and then sub him off the park for bissy who could then wreak havoc in a more open game created by the inevitable tired legs as fatigue sets it…
was chatting with ranger before the comp and we both said we think we can win the cup when most people were predicting we wouldn’t get through the pools…
personally i believe experience is THE most vital ingredient for world cup success…
so there will be people who say ‘i told you so’ should we lose on sunday… but i’m comfortable that we’ve got the best team and squad… and think pdvivvies done an excellent job and barring one or two players most of us would do the same thing…
so can’t blame the coaches IMO should we lose… the guys just have to bring it… everything they’ve got… leave their DNA on the field… if they do… i think we’ll win comfortably….
said long ago i believe aussie will win 2015 when their talented kids have more street smarts to go with their sublime skills… but think they’re not there for this wc…

I have been a passionate Bok supporter since 1976; I have followed them around the country and spent thousands and thousands of rands in test tickets, air fares and memorabilia supporting them over the years.
I don’t need the likes of you (sharks first Boks second type) telling me what I am thinking or how I should support the team. I will criticize selections if I think they are detrimental to the Boks cause.
So don’t come on here and try and label me a non bok supporter just because I don’t agree with Smit starting , screw you man, who do you think you are !!

@ufo(ufo)-375: Good post ufo as always.
I am just nervous as heck. I too think we doing the right thing by starting with Smit. Have always said it and will stick by that. Bissie will cause havoc with tired legs. We can weigh up the situation in front of us. If we need to bring him in earlier we do so, if not then bring him on for the 2nd half or last 35min. Wish Beast was there. He is not so have to forget about it.
My support is behind the Boks all the way. Just really want us to make it to the semi at least. Want to see us playing ABs in a world cup again, especially on their soil. Would love the Boks to beat them in a wc on home soil that would be the ultimate for me. Then of course the cup….
Pity Fransie is out. I feel it is a massive loss. But JdV has everything to play for now. He has to step it up.

With Lambie we can have JdJ with Aplon at the back. That will be the future. For now Morne is there and he will play there until the end of this wc. So hope JdV has a blinder there. If not they will bring on Butch.

@Slumtown(Slumtown)-395:
You did say you’re from the real old skool
It’s a technique that was born in the South.
You’ve probably heard it before, basically they drop the tempo of a track and at the same time you know the pitch will drop so everything sounds heavy. This is on the entire final mix, with instruments and vocals.
After that they add their cuts and scratches with sick stretches at parts where you get the vocal along and things like that, guys like T.I sometimes release an entire Chop&Skrew version of their original albums.
6 Oct 2011, 12:48 pm
To assume that JS will damage his reputation beyond repair should the Boks lose on Sunday is rather prejudicial and let me illustrate. This WOrld Cup has the potential to go from being the “best ever” to one of the worst for every Kiwi supporter should England end up playing Australia in the final and Oz win. Does that necessarily make it the worst – NO however because of their own prejudices (:lol:) they may perceive it as such. The same argument goes for JS. Its only those with huge prejudices towards him that will consider his career/memory as a player being utterly destroyed should we lose. In their eyes he probably never had a career worth mentioning till now in any case.

it’s just so frustrating that we don’t deliver the goods as consistently as they do… so for that i really admire and respect the ABs (among other things too of course cause they are a great team)

Vrede – really its about roles and styles – Bissie is far more effective in these scenario’s as an impact player.
We saw it last week against the Samoan’s. Smit would have ground out nicely for 55 minutes or so and then Bissie would have come on and had tired legs up against him and made for more of an impact.
Did we even score a point in the second half against Samoa, no!

He’s a ****** hero for SA rugby. Show the guy some respect. He’s still a good test player in tight conditions, maybe not CC or s15 where the younger loser players look impressive.
Bissie is better right now but i think they compliment each other wonderfully as Smit starts, Bissie ends. Makes Bissie look great when he is againts tired legs as well.
Bissie will have his chance to have 80 minutes next year all year and teh year after

6 Oct 2011, 13:23 pm
Re post
South Africa vs Australia
50-50 call
In reality it is a 51-49 call to Australia but as a South African i hope we can pull something off.
Australia is the antidote to the South African way of playing rugby. They are smart athletes. i expect the Springboks win though.
Bryan Habana and JP Pietersen or Jacque Fourie should score. We have enough strike runners who have hit form at the right time.
The game will be close and the winning score will be 21 – 16 to the Boks
England vs France
France can deliver their usual unpredictable rugby magic but England tends to do very well in world cups.
England will have to deal with a resurgent French side which will have Vincent Clerc threatening the English tryline.
I expect Wilkinson to recover and England to to win 22 – 18
Argentina vs New Zealand
New Zealand will win by 25 points
35 – 10
Wales vs Ireland
Another 50-50 call
I think Ireland’s experience and hunger will be the difference.
They will be miserly in defence.
Ronan O’Gara is the second highest scorer behind Morne Steyn to have made the quarter finals. He too is hitting form at the right time. Sexton has not proved to be much of a difference.
22 – 19
Habana is hitting form at the right time. Am interested in how he see things after he’s scored in two consecutive games rather than the 15 month lean spell he had.
It is amazing that he is viewed as the least important bok on this website. I cannot get it.
Even Torres and Kaka are returning to form after a 18 – 24 month lean spells respectively.

6 Oct 2011, 13:29 pm
Smit would have started Boks would have lost to Samoa, you g’dam lucky he didn’t start last week because right now you would definitely not be sitting there so smug pretending its the right call. Smit would have started against Samoa we would have LOST the game, same way as if he had not been YANKED off the field in the g’dam nick of time we would have LOST.. ABSOLUTE GUARANTEED without even a remote sliver of doubt.
Had Smit not been YANKED vs Wales and had he started vs Samoa Boks would be OUT this WC already of that you can be 100% assured.
Now you better pray like hell that somebody got ENOUGH sense to YANK him again early enough before he does ANY further collateral damage to the Boks chances as he ALMOST did in BOTH games vs Wales and Samoa. He better get yanked quick and timeously vs Aussie before he fcks it All up again, like he does EVERY SINGLE TIME he EVER leads Boks onto the park..
Dumb schmucks have already lost count how many LOSSES this palooka got under his belt and they ready to go on and swallow SOME MORE…

thanks mike…
yeah… john smit has achieved a lot and earned an amazing career in rugby…. i don’t believe in picking for nostalgia’s sake… i really believe he is the right man for the job and playing his role to perfection…
and bissy is playing his to perfection too… albeit reluctantly at the moment
and as you correctly say… bissie will have his time and do very well…
i’d just like to caution everyone before they turn on bissy next year… that they can’t expect him to play at that level all game every game… it’s easier to come off the bench and give it your all for 20 or 30 minutes and than to do so for a full 80 every game…
and knowing how fickle our bok supporters can be… if he doesn’t play out of his skin every minute of every game people will/may turn against him in a flash…
only two guys play at that level game after game IMO… and that’s juan and schalk…

Any Bok coach who smites a dolly on a car bonnet in a dark car park and gets away with it has my vote.
Any Bok coach who says rugby is no game for ballerinas to a whinging bunch of BI Lions has my respect.
Any Bok coach who labels Warthog Januarie a Black Mechanic has my confidence.
Any Bok coach who rips apart the AB Macarena war dance just for fun and exposes the preciousness of Kiwis in general must be okay.
GO Dippy!!!
GO Barney!!!
GO Bokbefok!

Lets face it….
There are no inbetweens here.
Dippy De Villiers will either go down as one of the greatest Bok coaches if he brings back Bill or an unmitigated disaster.
No normal Rugby playing nation on the planet would have appointed him coach of their elite national Rugby team in a million years, but then again Sout Africa is no normal Rugby playing nation.
He has made the strangest decisions and said the most fcked up things…
He is off the wall and probably slightly insane… But then again so was Winston Churchill.
There is something to him… He does have ballas and has been loyal to players…

And he takes the pressure off his players by handling the media in the way he does.
6 Oct 2011, 14:19 pm
Smit and his ego, the man has no shame
6 Oct 2011, 14:21 pm
Nutter or genius…
In New Zealand, inquiries focused on how he planned to pep up his team for the Wellington Test. “I’ll tell them talk is cheap and money buys the whisky,” he smiled through world rugby’s most frightening moustache.
“You win some, you lose some,” De Villiers mused, before moaning about the opposition’s scrum tactics. “We just have to become illegal sometimes, too.”
As for CJ van der Linde being replaced, that was serious. “He was hit in the larynx and that’s why he had to come off. He was sounding like me.”
But it was all okay. “There is a quiet positiveness that we lost it rather than they won it,” he waxed.
De Villiers admitted that Dan Carter had been tackled late, but he defended the game’s robust nature. “I know dancing is also a contact sport, but rugby is far from dancing. If you want to run with the big dogs then sometimes you have to lift your leg.”
Criticism of roughhouse Bok tactics was over the top, he railed: “This kind of thing is as old as Noah, but it’s great how they have now picked up things that have been part of rugby for a hundred years.”
He declared war on the Wallabies and vowed that he would wake up alive on Test morning. On a roll, he explained to the gathered media corps. “What we try to tell them is when you point your finger into the sky, don’t concentrate on the finger because you’ll miss all the heavenly glory out there. Concentrate on the heavenly glory that you can bring and make yourselves so fulfilled.”
People were curious about how the Boks had celebrated the rare away victory over the All Blacks. As ever, De Villiers had the answer. “We went wild, wild, wild — some of the guys went wilder than that.
“South Africans are normally great people and we’ll take the bitter with the sweet. It’s only the guys who don’t feel part of that bitter or that sweet that will always moan and groan and say: ‘Why do they go so wild?’ Join in, we’ve got enough stuff to share with you.”
“I was appointed to make rugby decisions. I promised to be honest and focus on rugby. We never said it was going to be a perfect world. If you look at the Bible, Joseph started out in the pit and ended up in the palace. There was a moerse lot of kak in between.”
“There’s little difference between winning and losing, except that one feels better after winning,” he declared after losing in Durban last week. He later warned that when the Boks finally grasped his methods, someone was going “to get a hiding”.
“The same people who threw their robes on the ground when ***** rode on a donkey were the same people who crowned him and hit him with sticks and stuff like that, and were the same people who said afterwards how we shouldn’t have done that, he’s the son of God,” de Villiers said. “So that’s exactly what we do. You have to look at history is repeating itself, and I’m not saying that I’m God.”
“If I listened to 43 million opinions, I believe I would be lost. I’m not concerned about Ricky’s form. Look, if you go to a black mechanic and he doesn’t fix your car, you don’t go back. If you go to a white mechanic and he doesn’t fix your car, you go back and make sure he fixes the problem. What I am saying is give Ricky a chance.’’
When asked whether he encouraged eye-gouging. “If we want to eye gouge lions, we’ll go down to the bushveld and eye gouge them there, then see if they can haul us in.”
Still on Burger’s eye-gouging incident. “If you are going to complain about every incident we might as well go to a ballet shop and all get tutus.”
On his coaching prowess. “If I’m the weakest link then we are bloody strong. I’m a God-given talent. I am the best I can be. I know what I am and I don’t give a damn.”

yet france have had a coach who only had French 2nd division & U21 honours, won the 6 Nations with him, bliksemed both the Bokke and All Blacks in 2009 and now is making unprecedented media gaffes on New Zealand.
is france an ABnormal rugby playinng nation?
6 Oct 2011, 14:36 pm
@Transformation(Transformation)-440:
Ditto Martin Johnson
6 Oct 2011, 14:37 pm
As a coach P Divvy seems to have brought nothing new to the Bks other than a “steady as she goes, carry on Bossboy” approach. But I love the colour he brings to the role. I can’t think of any other country that would have a coach as whacky as he is constantly. There is never anything boring about being a South African. Long may it be so.
6 Oct 2011, 14:38 pm
The Boks now have a good chance to advance, but the forwards will have to play some rugby for a change, the rain and wind will reduce Morne Styen’s effective range to a diagonal 35m so the skirmishes will have to take place within the Wallabies’ own 40m
Fran Styen and Bakkie are colossal losses, with JdV back at 12 the ball will not travel far wide; some consider it a blessing, better than waste good ball on the wings.
6 Oct 2011, 14:39 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-453: i’m not “benchmarking” anything. who qualifies to be a “normal rugby playing nation” and who doesn’t according to YOU hg?
6 Oct 2011, 14:39 pm
@stormer in a teacup(stormer in a teacup)-458: You would rather have an idiot than a coach. And ,at that, an arrogant, stupid and useless one at that who sniffs the jocks of his Captain?
Nice
6 Oct 2011, 14:40 pm
@Transformation(Transformation)-452: I mean the French acknowledge he is an unmitigated disaster… from players to media to administrators to rugby public… But as long as you think Lievremont is a lowest common denominator… Go ahead… ” If you look at the Bible, Joseph started out in the pit and ended up in the palace.”
6 Oct 2011, 14:41 pm
These are by far the most disciplined boks.
The coach should be credited for that at the very least.
No dwarfs. No ball fixing. No twitts. No flankwers winging it. No player revolts. No booze binges or alcoholism.
Just sensible press conferences. Even the Haka comment generated a healthy debate around the world.
Only the Irish and the Welsh have been as quiet.
Only snag is hanging on to Bakkies for three weeks.

and someone earlier quoted how apple was supposed to be a tech company and how ‘gadgets’ couldn’t be sold as commodities…someone had to believe ot could be done.
same thing with the boks in 2008, pdv believed he could have the Boks playing differently but was met with blatant disbelief in his thinking and because of whatever reason/s – s_ex tapes etc – he toed the line and played kick n chase/structure (our supposed traditional strengths)
6 Oct 2011, 14:46 pm
@Transformation(Transformation)-456: I doubt France would have appointed De Villiers despite his surname…. For a start he never played international rugby and he never had a coaching record of note… Lievremont was a France International. Laporte was a coach of note before coaching France… Just two examples…
Spin it right round baby, right round….

@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-468: Jake White wasn’t an international and had no coaching record of note – in fact it would be fair to say they were equally qualified, what makes his appointment different from PdV’s in your mind?
would it be fair to say that “no normal rugby playing nation” would appoint Jake White, not in a million years?
he won in 2007 but only go the next coaching job from a franchise in 2010…

@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-439: And thats why he will win it with this team. He has remained loyal to his team, made a few faux pas but never ran with his tail between his legs. Everyone knows the relationship he has with the players and talk of “fat boys club” running the show etc but those players have also repaid his loyalty and never once in the last 2,5 years has there been any talk of a revolution etc. If he was that s..t the players would have been trying to get him replaced long ago. For those who would say yeah but the fat boys club are only protecting themselves well then what about the governance structure above PDV, surely if he (and the FBC) was that bad his boss or the gov’t would have stepped in and fired him.
The next question would then be yeah but what happens after the RWC. Well we have a full front row still available for the next RWC, a good lock pairing Bekker and VD Merwe , a great LF trio in Brussouw,Alberts,Elstadt. Looking at the back line there is Hougie, Steyn/Lambie/Jantjes/De Jong/Sadie/Mvovo/Taute etc. So how bad has it really been under PDV taking into account all these things?

I don’t feel guilty about criticising dmit in the slightest, that is you who thinks I should feel that way. I was more than willing to give him every benefit of the doubt but it is now completely clear who the best player is. Smit is not rubbish but he is not Bismarck – what can you not understand? The springboks should be about selecting your best players, this is the only fair criteria. Now who is best is often a fine personal judgement and if smit was competing with any other hooker in sa I’d say take smit with the experience – but smit is not even in bismarks league when it comes to offering what the Boks need on the park – Bismarck has become a monster – there is daylight between him and everyone else – and yet his time on the world stage at his very peak will come and go and everyone must accept that as fair? It’s a disgrace that is what it is.

We can’t go public about certain things because we don’t have all the evidence, but the body language of certain officials when things went against us in that game made us worry…. The officials were so happy when decisions went against us on the day. I am talking about the number one rugby team in the world. Shouldn’t they really get the other guys to that level?…. Or do they want to break things down so that the game can become mediocre and everyone has a chance to win it. We don’t want to dwell on that point, but if that is the case, then I feel I am wasting my time by talking to them. I will then have to reconsider talking to them.”

they have been forced to film their keo tv slots in service station restrooms which has resulted in a caution for ryan and a hefty fine for keo due to an unfortunate misunderstanding with the local constabulary.

There’s a small sign of rugby analysis.
Obviously the coaches know by now they can’t ever move JS to TH vs rated opposition.
So that’s why CJ has been picked on the bench as he covers TH & LH.
Would you agree that’s the right move?

i think those comments were made in reaction to some previous comments about people who do support js being blind or fools or apologists etc.. people have opinions that may differ from your but if you label those people for those opinions they’re gonna label you for yours…
i’m sure they don’t mean it any more than you mean yours… or do you…?

PdV chose ricky for YEARS but we heard rick was a “warthog” and kfc references were the order of the day, did that mean people didn’t support the Boks just because the coach preferred ricky?
imagine if the coach was playing Chiliboy instead of Bismarck, all sort of “quota” diatribes would be spewed on here by the same people who conviniently say Smit doesn’t pick himself.
people know PdV has decided to pick Smit, it doesn’t mean they can’t voice their displeasure re that selection!

I don’t think you can have your bread buttered on both sides.
Meaning you can’t say you despise certain players the coach and tactics and call them stupid and fatboys but still say you’ll rejoyce should they prevail.
On the one hand you have the ‘I TOLD YOU SO’ card ready to throw in our faces.
But on the other hand you also have an escape clause to celebrate the victory by admitting to CONDITIONAL SUPPORT for your team.
That’s just not cool.
We can criticise and debate till we turn blue but in the end we’ll have to support the coach and his team fully and should they fail only then can we point to things that went wrong which you thought should’ve been done different.
But until that moment they deserve our support and respect for how they’ve gone so far.

I’ve been saying this the whole time, it’s good to discuss selections and debate the merits of certain decisions being made by the team.
To label players with silly names is not cool, not nick names but degrading names.
But worse is when you come out and say you WON’T support those players you don’t like REGARDLESS of their performance.

There are 22 manne, in a rugby team today.
1 to 8 the vories, 9 to 15 agterlyn.
16 to 22, the manne on the bench.
But someone tough is missing, someone famous and intense.
Jan, Jan, Jan, is die soul van die span.
Every Saturday at the game, pak hy alles wat hy kan.
Brannas nartjies, sy kitaartjie, gasbraai boerewors en bun.
And he shouts vol uit sy bors uit: “I am here for you my span”
And the team shouts “Player 23 “We are here for you ou Jan”.
Jan, Jan, Jan, is die soul van die span.
22 manne in a rugby squad.
But the 23rd oke is a genuine stud.
His name is Jan, he is every team’s dream.
Player 23, there’s a Jan for every team.
His locker is a sacred space, to where ou Victor runs.
And there he puts his signed picture: “Groete van ou Jan”
Spot him at the supermarket – hoop maar hy’s ‘n sport.
As he signs his bum, Kankowski: “Said I’m never gonna stort”.
Jan, Jan, Jan is die soul van die span.
Waiting for his turn to gooi-Jan’s stick goes in the trash.
But Schalkie grabs the precious prize and ads it to his stash.
At the shoestore Jan is posing, in his bright new orange crocs.
And the okes can hardly wait, to replace their rugby togs.
Jan, Jan, Jan, is die soul van die span.
22 manne in a rugby squad.
But the 23rd oke is a genuine stud.
His name is Jan, he is every team’s dream.
Player 23, there’s a Jan for every team.

@grant10(grant10)-596:
Thanks.
From that I gather you’re not in agreement with PDV that his bench should be used for max IMPACT rather than the traditional subs.
Many on here don’t like it neither, but as far as I know they’ll be supportive of all the players selected even if they feel someone else should’ve been picked.
The same thing has to apply for team tactics, we can discuss it but ultimately when kick-off comes we’ll be hoping it works out the team has planned for it with Biz & co coming on to take the game away from the opposition.
We’ve been going into this in depth as I am one who supports it. I’ve posted Div’s decision to do that too many times I’m sure you’ve spotted it somewhere on here.

have you been on this blog when QUOTA debates are raging? e.g. Adi vs Mossie in 2009..if what you say is the DICTUM then a LOT of bloggers here had no fccuking right celebrating the British & Irish Lions series victory because they did not agree with adi starting and nobody told them to shut up!

They often did compete to be the mainkop of the street.
So they eyed each other skeef, wondering who’s the biggest fan.
They checked each others boerewors to see who is the man.
Elton and Jan, die soul van die span.
Driving to the game, Elton brags with his tjor.
But Jan drives by and goois a wave, and Elton smiles no more.
The kole are just right for them, and the struggle still goes on.
It’s a showdown at the stadium, it’s Elton versus Jan.
Elton and Jan, is die soul van die span.
It’s a story about two manne, legends of the game.
From Gauteng to the Cape, will remember their names.
It’s Elton and Jan, die soul van die span.
Player 23, the Bokke makes us one.
Player 23, the Bokke makes us one.

@grant10(grant10)-596: But then the Sharks hardly beat their Aussie opponents as well depsite these tactics- in fact we battle most against the Ozzies (Reds/NSW and Brumbies) I would say.
The point is no-one knows how it would have worked out against Wales and Samoa had the selection been different – we can only surmise. From my point of view its looking like the tactics are working. Is JS a better player than Bizzie – hell no – but is he doing well – hell yes and does he deserve my support – HELL YES. By the way I dont give twoshits what he wrote about Luke Watson. Have nothing against Luke, actually admire him for a lot of things.

How very emotional of a man to give away his Springbok jerseys until he feels proud enough to buy a new one… :rol:
As if the Springboks need his flip flopping “support” which includes calling the team a bunch of “fat boys” and the team’s captain “poison”, “cancer”, “lardass” and “plod”.
How very dramatic. One would assume we are dealing with a 12 year old.

That’s how it would appear.
I’ve been reading his posts on it since it started and when we were losing it was justified.
But changes have been made and we’re a whole year later yet the same sentiments remain regardless of how John will play.
I’m not a big Spies fan, but I’ll be supporting him to do good this weekend.
If he stuffs up we’ll be back here blasting his soft defence etc but if we make it to the SF and he still gets picked can I know say i’ll support the Boks BUT NOT SPIES as he played k@k previously? What if he plays a great game in the SF?

When he came good everyone was raving. Did we have a better TH than him at the time- no hence the acceptance of his comeback.
When it comes to JS though no such leniency (to build ones form up) is afforded because all consider Biz better than him and we don’t need a leader.
Well it looks to me as though Bizzie is playing very well under the circumstances and I would have imagined that things would have been different had he been unhappy. So much for the egotistic self infatuated fat boy – what an atmosphere he has created.

6 Oct 2011, 16:49 pm
Grant’s made it abundantly clear that his “problem” with Smit is a personal one.
We’ve seen for well over a year now a concerted, dedicated stream of personal abuse thrown Smit’s way by Grant. Anyone capable of maintaining such a lengthy and committed hate campaign against the man is not right in the head.
There is no rational debate with him on the subject.

Damn JS better have a good game this week I’ve been taking too many tackles on his behalf
But that’s what real supporters do, we don’t hold out for the ‘I told you so’.
We back our team when what they’re doing is working for them, and only once they mess up can we blast them should we feel like doing it, in my opinion.

We are talking about 1 blogger, Grant, who has led a vitriolic personal hate campaign against 1 player, Smit.
Those other terms you refer to could almost be seen as terms of endearment by comparison!
There is NO comparison to the level and dedicated monotony of the use of the terms thrown Smit’s way – our national captain’s way – by a single blogger.

Lost 10/11 3n’s ?? (not sure of exact stats)
Sharks won CC with Terblanche.
So his form as a captain has been piss poor, as a player even worse, if this was say Victor/schalk etc I would hate to see what most of these same bloggers would be saying !!

yup this is a fine state of affairs we in, watson was called a cancer, pdv has been called many things – but calling smit plod is a no-no.
that is all ****, i dont give a hairy **** about any of that, the fact of the matter is that smit is starting over the best hooker in the world in Bismarck, and everyone speaks in hushed tones about it out of respek for Smit, what utter bullshit. Even old Keo here posts these cutting articles week after week ripping De Villiers and new one and there’s not a peep from the peanut gallery. Well where’s the glaringly obvious article, the one about why the hell Smit is starting over Bismarck?
You okes all run with the wolves and hunt with the hounds – typical compliant saffas – pick some hard targets for a change.
If the Springbok stands for anything it should stand for rugby excellence, nothing else, being picked as the best rugby player in your position in the country, it is not about having positions reserved for weaker players past their prime and too big to be told that they are.

And I have never rfered to JS as anything but JS………what’s your point !!
So tell me, based on Smit ‘s poor form as a captain and a player in the last 2 years what justifies his selection ahead of Bissy, in your opinion?
6 Oct 2011, 18:01 pm
@justrugby(justrugby)-695: not even “Plod”?
Must say, I find that very hard to believe…
But hey ho…
Anyway, I have explained it as this:
The extreme benefit of Bismark for 30 mins outweighs the benefit of Bismark for 80 mins and Matfield as captain for 80mins.
The extreme effect of the cohort of super subs – Hougaard, Bismark and Alberts (usually Rossouw too) all coming on at once – is one that can be tangibly felt.
Smit is not bad or useless or any of the other names you call him. He is solid and reliable and brings a calming influence and established line of communication with the ref. But when Bismark comes on against tired legs, boy what a difference he makes!
And that is why I see SOME sense in Pdivvy’s logic.
6 Oct 2011, 18:04 pm
@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-693: i never said you. you know who called those players names but sat here like the hypocritical doos you are and said nothing! i’ve checked grant on his post re Plod and he knows my stance.

6 Oct 2011, 18:04 pm
Just think about this:
BIL 2009
Bismarks starts first 2 tests, Boks win both and the series.
Bismarck does not start 3rd test, Boks get smashed by 20 points.
3N 2009
Bismark starts in all of the tests, SA win 5 out of 6.
Bismarck does not start EOY test v Ireland, Boks lose
3N 2010
Bismarck does not start any of the tests, SA win 1 out of 6.
Bismark starts in all the EOY tests, SA beat Ireland who they have’nt beaten away in years, and win 3 of 4 tests narrowly missing out on a grandslam.
3N 2011
Bismarck starts in only 1 of the 4 tests vs NZ and OZ, yep its the one SA win.
You know the most fkd up thing is that Smit was already shifted in 2009 to 3 cos everyone knew what an irrepressible force was, and yet here we are 2011 two years later and results which have conclusively proved just how vital bismark is and astruse fk they are not going to start with him. i mean god almighty, what is wrong with these fools?
6 Oct 2011, 18:06 pm
“Smit is not bad or useless or any of the other names you call him. He is solid and reliable and brings a calming influence and established line of communication with the ref. But when Bismark comes on against tired legs, boy what a difference he makes!”
From what i have seen since the start of this season and during the WC I simply don’t agree , in fact we should be starting with Bissy and using Chilli as an impact player, if required !!
That’s just my opinion though !!

But today the heavens have opened up and has rained manna for the whipping of these obscene delinquents.
The E and the T sits back in his chair, folds his arms and stares to the heavens as he shakes his head in stunning amazement as he contemplates the fruits of the seeds(calling out the racists) he has sown since day one on this site and that was about 3 & 3/4 years ago.
The confusion, cowardice, and hypocritical tendencies, attitudes and comments as the ‘broeders’ tear into each other in ‘moffie’ fashion is definitely worth the smile that plays across his lips.

Go Smittie show all these haters what you can do. Your form is picking up after surgery and lack of game time.
The only thing is they don’t deserve for SA to win the WC – they’ll turn on the winners without notice after a slump in form after a injury or something.
Many didn;t even appreciate our wining in 2007. Those same people are here today moaning about you and others that have held the greatest trophy above their heads and brought it home to us. Not sure why the hell they spend time following rugby if they don;t even enjoy us winning the biggest tournement of them all.

he’s got his own way of doing things, but there’s method in the madness, and maybe it takes that kind of vitriol to get the message accross – i mean how they can even vaguely consider going into a 1/4 final without Bismarck starting in view of the last 3 years worth results is simply unfknbelievable. Its there for all to see – the results are startlingly glaringly obvious – why the hell was smit shifted to 3 in the first place and that was when he was 2 years younger?

I disagree mate.
Bissie’s value is that he acts as an additional loosie, which I agree is large value in this day and age and especially against Pocock.
But i think him coming on FRESH at 55/60 minutes against tired legs makes him more potent.
Against Samoa he was good but we had nothing to add in the second half.
John is strong, scrums well, line-outs used to be amazing but still good. He is doing more and more around the pitch as he gets game time.
His defense sometimes worries though. For me he has to make every tackle SUnday.
And his calmness to the team will be needed.

Mate, Bismarck has never played at loosie for the Boks, when we won those two BIL tests, when we cleansweeped the 09 3N, when we beat ireland and nearly one the grandslam in 2010 – you know the one thing they all had in common – thats right bismarck starting at 2 – the rest of the results when bismarck has not been there aint even worth talking about. Our results have been disastrous without bismark starting.
Smit is a good player, but he is not in the league of Bismarck and that is what the issue is here. Bismarck is having to make way for a weaker player out of respek.

Where was Smitty when Bissie was playing in 2009? Smit was playing in the front row too. Only at th. NOT that he wanted too but doing it for the team.
Give him some credit Cabbie.
Bissie played Hooker against the Samoans and we only came through that test by a few. I think the strong bench coming on later is a master move by Peter or Rassie.
Let us keep the faith and support our boys. If we don’t win to Oz on Sunday then we were never going too. Whether Bissie started at 2 or John. It takes a whole team to win a game. Not one person. Come on Cab you better than this buddy.
Let us all stick together now and just support our team. I too felt negative at one point but that was just stupid of me. I am full behind my Boks win or lose.

@Puma(Puma)-777:
Pumes, i dont carre if Smit plays left-back or flyhalf or the sweet lord almighty hisself, my point is that our best results have coincided with a very obvious selection, which is Bismarck starting.
Now on Sunday we are going into a test without Bismark, against opposition who;ve made mincemeat of the Boks in the past without him there. Why is he not being selected?
U remember the BIL series – first two we win, Bismarck starts. 3rd one Bismarck does not start, we get absolutely mauled. Ireland EoY 2009, bismarck dont start we lose again, ireland EoY 2010, bismark starts we win. 2009 3N Bismarck starts we win 5 out of 6. 2010 3N Bismarck does not start we lose 5 our of 6. 2011 3N, Bismarck only starts one test, its the only one the Boks win.
I have actually gone out of my way not to disrespek smit, the record is damning.

The TRUTH ‘Ou Blackie’s se groot neef’, just the truth, but being a ‘verkrampte’ that idea is just foreign to your culture , not so?
So your post here:
” i saw your one china HG has told u to fk off, ”
Clearly this is one BIG LIE because the very same ‘ou poephol’, your ” china “, just 2 days ago posted in answer to JL1 ” he dropped me like a dirty rag ” but those truthful words don’t count in your web of lies and confusion and delusion, correct?
He claimed too to be in the ” ET fan club ” and ” ET is no fool “, all his words hence quotations used, and I am not even aware of that fan club in addition to the reading club.
During the AB – France game I, the ExtraTerrestrial, challenged him wrt his uncouth and sectarian and stereotypical comments and not the other way round. But your ‘verkrampte’ arrogance simply blinds you to the extent you do not even realise that Helen is merely HG in drag that is why I used the name Evita.

@ET.(ET.)-730:
I admire your support of an egalitarian and Utopian society, but where is it?
You live in a country that has a marvelous constitution (like SA), but whose Founding Fathers were slave owners and whose racial rights record was dubious, well into the latter part of the 20th century. The USAs record of support for right wing dictatorships and more recently it’s attempts to bomb a nation into submission on a lie, doesn’t exactly impress me.
Then let’s look at your support for English league soccer. There’s exactly one black coach in all the leagues, at my last count, and a black english friend and ex Leeds supporter, told me that Leeds supporters are the worst racists in the league.
To answer your original question as to whether there’s racism in SA rugby, the answer is yes, but it’s manifested in a variety of ways and crosses all racial lines ranging from petty power grabs to cultural defensiveness and just plain ignorance. It’s nowhere near as simplistic as you claim.
My point is, how “clean” are the “any other countries” that you support and to what extent do they comply with the standards you claim to judge them on?
I can understand any bitterness and anger at apartheid and its effects, but must question your intellectual honesty regarding your judgemental claims.
The fact that a lot of bloggers (supporters) here are totally insensitive to the lasting damage experienced by the victims of apartheid is, in my mind, no excuse for damning the whole society as rascist as would your love for Leeds be tainted by their supporters.
6 Oct 2011, 19:52 pm
Well its kinda like a dichotomy here..
PdV deserves this WC because his level of undoubted loyalty to his captain and his team is simply unsurpassed anywhere in the rugby hemisphere…
John Smit on the other hand.. I dunno whether he deserves it nearly as much…or at all in fact..
The side winding of Beast and the benching of Bismark to accommodate the so called ‘best hooker in the world’ way beyond his ability or his pseudo ranking aura smacks of outright idiotic delusion and exceedingly blinded hero worshiping way beyond ANY realm of reasonable reasoning…
So if I have to weigh up Boks real chances on Sunday I say it goes something like around 25 – 30% chance of success with a 70-75% chance of failure. Much along the same trajectory they have been stumbling along with John Smit as this talismatic f’ng LOSER captain that they have been LOSING behind hand over fist SINCE he has usurped the No.2 jersey over Bismark’s head…!!
Idiocy SUPREME of continuing to proceed down a consistent path of LOSSES doing exactly the SAME thing repetitiously and EXPECTING different results has the just reward of getting what it deserves.. an unfortunate smack to the solar plexus where simple common sense would have been a WHOLE lot better judgment than being led by the nose due to some prestigious bulls’t baffling hero worshiping balderdash…!!
PISSARSE PATHETIC.!!! Boks chance of success under these delusional daydreams are decidedly way below 50% and that is the outright GAMBLE they have taken.. choosing to CONTINUE with a loser captain running on where the understudy has absolutely surpassed him in EVERY single aspect of rugby ability and contribution to this team THROUGHOUT and in every facet of the game and the position ON THE WHOLE..

@cab(cab)-783: Yes Cabbie, but Smit was also playing in the front row at th. He too was there. You have to credit both of them and mostly the whole team. It is a team sport and not a one man show.
The last test against BIL we can’t count that we had our 2nd team start and left out most of our 1st team. A mistake we should have selected the best and white washed the BIL. We had so many of our 2nd side starting the last test we were always gonna get a belting.

I can tell u right now the only way the Boks can pull this off is thru the sheer gees that PdV has bred and engendered in this sqaud by being loyal to a fault – unfortunately gees can only take u so far, they living in lalaland, with just a few changes they could have the gees and the dream. Bismark is obvious.

Puma Smit has played at tighthead and at hooker, its irrelevant, at hooker we have nearly lost every time he’s taken to the field against oz in the last 3 years – what is relevant and directly correlated to our best win is Bismark starting.

See the Saffas are feeling very much at home in NZ…
South African journalists have been given a “taste of home”, saying they’ve been the victims of crime during a visit to Auckland to report on the Rugby World Cup.
Photographers Barry Aldworth and Christiaan Kotze said they were robbed of nearly $10,000 worth of gear after the Springboks clashed with Samoa at North Harbour Stadium last Friday.
Journalists Brendan Nel and Gavin Rich also confirmed that their car had been broken into last Thursday night while it was parked in the secure underground car park at the Pullman Hotel in central Auckland.
6 Oct 2011, 20:39 pm
@Great White Shark(Predawn)-828: they do have a point however, pure rugby logic dictates B.Du Plessis and Alberts should be starting, adding those two would tip the balance significantly towards Springbok forward dominance. As it is, SA need to try to stay in the game until they come on in the second half, by then it may be too late.

“An old (white) man was subjected to an unprovoked attack in Auckland’s Sylvia Park mall with the offender announcing triumphantly to the crowd “one for the Maoris” as he swaggered away “like he had just won the World Heavyweight Championship”.
Goston told the court he put his bag down on a table in the food court when he heard someone saying “f*** c***” and “f****** whitey” to him.
As he looked up, the “powerfully built” Maori man with his hair in a bun “like the Maori chieftains of old” came advancing towards him.
Goston said he turned to other customers nearby and asked if they would witness what was going on.
He said he felt himself grabbed from behind and slammed onto the ground.
“I was in the foetal position on the ground. He clenched his fist and raised it up in the air.
“Then, in a quiet and strangely calm sounding manner, he said ‘one for the Maoris, folks’. Then he swaggered off like he had just won the World Heavyweight Championship.”
Goston said he sustained bruising to the left of his body and a damaged knee.
He said he had previously had two heart attacks, a major stroke that left him half-blind in one eye and had endured open-heart surgery.”

Like cab says the poor maestro is a slave to his own integrity.. he is loyal to an absolute FAULT
And for THAT I say he deserves to win this WC.. just to PROVE that loyalty and faith goes way beyond common sense or rational reason…
HOWEVER
The real excruciating reality of it is BISMARK HAS TO START…and so should Alberts and Hougaard ahead of Spies and FdP
So whether loyalty in the end is SUFFICIENT to overcome ALL ODDS and FAITH beckons SO f’ng BLIND that even miracles ensue.. well that will be left for the rugby gods to determine come Sunday AM our time..
But unfortunately I don’t buy into superstitions and prayers to deities to deliver us from out of our bondage of dumb fck ignoramus idiocy when it comes down to selecting the BEST to do the JOB on the PARK.. That is where sometimes you have to weigh up what is best for the COLLECTIVE team in the final analysis and NOT for the ambitious seeking self worshiping idolized aura who has ridden rough shod over ANY last demeanor of simple common rugby sense.

Is your guilt getting to you that you now have to write so copiously, probably after a few glasses of wine for a boost? Is the worry at W H O R E St. getting to you? Are you not wasting your time worrying about the wrong Jobs? Are the genuine concerns for the real jobs for the jobless not a more noteworthy consideration?
That is far too much reqired reading between your lines for me to waste time on.
From the little sketchy bits I have read let me say life is simple and I am just a S. African ‘black’ who has never ever supported any S. A. national team in any sport because of racism or its newest form neo-racism ( and believe it or not there are millions like me).
I am in the US to do research, and more, on a green card that needs to be renewed by 2013. I am paid for those endeavours so what has ” the Founding Fathers ” (all dead) have to do with my reason for being here? I work well they pay equally well.
In your extreme misguided desperation, mucked up with YOUR sick view on nationalism and patriotism you clutch at a boyhood team, Leeds. Your referencees may well be all correct but you do not know as you are at best relying on second hand information. If a player or more or some fans are racist can any club be so considered to be racist? Worse still I have never ever associated personally with any English Leeds fan let alone a racist one so where exactly is the problem.
What questions of racism seemingly applies to Leeds surely has to apply to all English clubs, including Man. U. as England shipped out RACISM to all corners of this globe like none other.
Since you may be too deep in that bottle by now , just finish it and do not bother to reply.
The ” Day of Reckoning ” is at hand and you all seem to be messing your undies as a result.
Ponder the devastation of the result, if not Sunday then next week or the week thereafter.

Boks SHOULD beat this Aussie side HANDS DOWN
We should absolutely trample them underfoot INTO the DUST
Which is what would be the case IF we started our Strongest team first..
However the brains trust that be have decided that we start with the COMPROMISE of trying to CONTAIN the mighty Dingo Wallaby machine for 60 or so minutes by playing the mediocre has been dead beats FIRST.. and THEN bring on the Blitzers who will blow them off the park from the last third or quarter of the game
All fine and dandy apple pie in the sky strategy IF Wallabies decide to play along.. BUT IF the DON’T and see that Bokkies have left a nice soft marshmallow in the offing as the steely resolved Resistance to their WC campaigning cause and run RINGS around the softy boys who have been selected to start.. Then I’m afraid to deduce it may VERY well be TOO LATE for even the likes of Breakdance Bizzy, Boom Boom Alberts and Hurricane Hurrying Hougaard to SAVE their overrated self glorified arses AGAIN the SECOND time around !!

6 Oct 2011, 21:28 pm
One of PDivvy’s greatest weaknesses as a coach has been his use of the bench. During this WC he has managed to turn that around by selecting a strong bench and it has worked for him. Fortunately for the Bokke there is enough depth to pick 22 players that can allow this. We should in fact be celebrating the fact that things are going right at the moment. Sad that some brilliant players are only getting 20 to 30 mins on the park, but they are making a massive difference in an impact role. It is a winning recipe that is working, so let’s embrace it and support our team!
6 Oct 2011, 21:29 pm
@cab(cab)-887: But Barney is the leader… and that trumps all other considerations in Dippy’s Eyes… Besides, your Wee Maestro has quoted him as “the best hooker in the world”.
He cant lose… One the one hand, he has one player who he thinks is the best in the world and on the other he has another who everyone else thinks is the best in the world…
So he has done a logical thing and hedged his bets by playing both.
Cant blame him in a way… A true maestro.

Have to agree with you about part of what you say. Some of our coaching staff are seriously not up to scratch. Divvy himself realised that a while ago and wanted to change his sidekicks, but couldn’t. Divvy is a great man manager and if he had Heyneke Meyer for eaxample alongside him things would look better in the coaching set up. Fortunately for us between all of them (thank the lord for Rassie and Jacques Nienaber) and the fact that we have the experienced senior players there that we do (yes John Smit is important to this side) we are still in with a shout.
