  @Transformation(Transformation)-399: no what he was saying and that I agree with is they have Butch on the bench instead of de Jongh due to the fact he can cover 12 and 10. 10 in case Morne gets injured and 12 in case Jean clogs up the system.

  Definitely worth it, the reason why I asked if you know of anybody that’s been doing it is because we’re trying to bring it this side, we have some ideas but there’s still a long way to go with that one.

  I’ll be on my way, time to get some real work done for a change

  Have a good one.

  yeah bud… well said too…

  i would love to beat the ABs on home-soil… and i really believe we can… even before dan got crocked… i think if we play to our full potential and they play to their full potential… we WILL win…

  i think IF we play to our full potential EVERY time we will win every time and rule the rugby world as the ABs do at the moment…

  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)

  So, from COBOL programmer to what now? I remember that from being relatively forgotten, COBOL programmers suddenly became in desperate demand during the Y2K panic as companies needed to upgrade legacy systems. Some friends of mine were charging exhorbitant rates when they realised how desperate companies had become for their skills.

  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!

  @ufo(ufo)-375:

  So well said you save me posing at nausism these days.

  I’m so tired of argueing for Smittie.

  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

  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.

  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…

  I actually Luv Dippy Divvy…

  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…

  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.”
