  @John Galt(John Galt)-245:

  Not much wrong with kick & chase when it’s done at the right part of the field, meaning dropping on the wings/fullback just outside the 22.

  But if we kick and chase anywhere else we’ll be punished.

  I must say that I have not enjoyed most of the articles on Keo’s site this WC. Very little positive support and encouragement for the Boks

  @wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-240: This is true, however PdV has also made some appalling subs during his tenure as coach. This RWC he has been pretty good, hopefully it continues.

  @mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-254:

  Samo and Spies are cut from the same cloth. Muscles, speed, former wings, brilliant in space but soft in the grind stakes.

  We have a clear edge on the bench. Div has a bench made to win a match, Deans’s bench will try and defend a lead.

  That’s what I’ve been saying all along on this blog.

  Subs used to be a weakness of PDV, but right now at this tournament it’s his trump card and at the same time it’s been a stumbling block for Deans.

  agree with most of your comparisons there…

  only doubtful about the jpp/o’connor one… think o’connor takes that one… IMO… o’connor the most naturally talented rugby player on the planet at the moment… (just a shame he’s a bit of a jerk along with that – hopefully he matures…)

  jpp’s gonna have to watch o’connor like a shark watch a fish hoek swimmer…!

  @John Galt(John Galt)-260:

  It has to be accurate for us to have a shot at regaining possession or put them under pressure to make an error.

  But it’s still a safe enough option as I’d dare any team to run the ball out of their 22 against the Boks in the first 40 of RWC QF.

  It’s HIGH RISK Rugby and in RWC’s it would take a brave man to run from anywhere in the first half.

  One team who’d do it are the Aussies, the Boks know it and they’ll be prepared for.

  A lot has been spoken on this particular thread about the two teams. It is going to be an epic battle.

  However, there is also a perhaps overlooked aspect to the game which nobody has really examined in depth. What do you think Bryce Lawrence’s impact on the game will be?

  Will he be an astute and impartial officiator – what are the potential problem areas for both teams?

  @Transformation(Transformation)-264: Old ET is only bitter that the division of the spoils excluded him. Typical struggle disillusionment. “Where’s my bit?”

  Anyway, the closest he came to losing limbs for the struggle was a nasty infection that almost claimed his johnson after a late night beer fuelled meeting ended in an awkward three way tryst with two female looking comrades. Long Live!

  How on earth did Deans not even get a place on the bench for Higgenbottom (sp)?

  He’s been their one true IMPACT player this year.

  The Aussie media have written countless articles of how they don’t like him.

  They think he unfairly penalised them in the scrums vs Ireland, and the Boks frontrow actually came out this weekend and agreed that some scrum decisions in that game could’ve gone either way.

  THE LOVING HUSBAND

  A man had two of the best tickets
  for the Rugby World Cup Final. As he sits down, another man comes
  along and asks if anyone is sitting in the seat next to him..

  “No”, he says, “the seat is empty.”

  “This is incredible!” said the man, “who in their right mind would
  have a seat like this for the Rugby Cup Final, the biggest sporting
  event of the rugby world and not use it?”

  He says, “Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. My wife was supposed
  to come with me, but she passed away. This is the first Cup Final we
  haven’t been to together since we got married.”

  “Oh… I’m sorry to hear that. That’s terrible. I guess you couldn’t
  find someone else, a friend or relative or even a neighbour to take
  the seat?”
  The man shakes his head…

  ……..”No. They’re all at the funeral.”

  @Skipper(Skipper)-256: I agree, the articles keo.co.za is more like a Keo’s and Ryan Vrede’s personal views on why they don’t like the coaches, players, etc.., and on what they think will happen.

  Emotional, biased and unbalanced. I might as well as my neighbour his opinion.

  Fortunately the bloggers provide some different views/perspectives

  @wpstormerbok(wpstormerbok)-278: Hmm… But in the same breath, have some games that he’s presided over not gone in our favour either? Unfortunately work often dictates that I often cannot watch the games so usually have to rely on word of mouth or read about it in the paper later.

  Given that you’ve provided an Australian point of view, it would be interesting to see a South African one, whether from the press or personal.

  Love the negativity and talk of Boks having a winning chance in the wet weather. Wallabies may be fave’s but its a 50/50 call I reckon, the team that turns up on the day will win this. Keo to you ‘talk’ like you do on keo.tv in the pub? lol

  Fine Keo, but the fact remains, from those 6 games, only 1 game had the current bok squad in it. And in that game, which Aus barely won, most of the players returned from injury and haven’t played for a long time. Prior to those 2 years the boks thrashed the Aussies… with the team to play them this weekend.

  Since you brought up Samoa, what was the result from their last game against Aus?

  Pocock reigned only because Brussow wasn’t there. Brussow is halfway in regaining his form after injury… Pocock is only starting his return.

  Point is, it is a knock-out game. Could go either way. Aus have the unpredictable expansive play, but the Boks will use the exact opposite… structured brutality… the one thing Aus hates!

  Funny how you’re sounding exactly like you did before you became braai-buddies with Jake 4 years ago. Your distaste for PDV has blinded you so that you barely got any predictions right this WC… for all the games.

  @>^..^< katman(katman)-273:
  during the anti war demonstrations against the usa’s invasion of iraq in 2003 i felt morally compelled out of good conscience to attend one of the meetings the organisers had called.

  basically, what happened was that all these ‘characters’ came out of the woodwork (at least i hope they were in the woodwork all along) wearing berets, full beards and old ‘unban the anc now’ type t-shirts, others those old red commie ones with the hammer and sickle, and these guys proceeded to start a moerse (and lengthy one at that) argument about the points of the meeting and/or the order of how those points should be tabled in the meeting. ironically and rather funnily they kept standing up and shouting “point of order comrade chair” at every opportunity in regards to the argument about the points, and it’s order, in the meeting.

  this was a an ‘interesting’ experience to say the least and all rather a shambles, which just left me with a deep sense of ‘i need to get the ffuck out of here & why the ffuck did i let my conscience get the better of me’ type of feeling. i went to one rally and never went back again.

  i really wanted to do something to make a difference and hopefully save some ‘seemingly’ innocent peoples lives…those basturds made it hard for me.

  @cane(cane)-279: Cane was in Australia to watch the 2003 Rugby World Cup and was not feeling well, so he decided to see a doctor.

  “Hey doc, I dun’t feel so good, ey” said Cane.

  The doctor gave him a thorough examination and informed him that he had long existing and advanced prostate problems and that the only cure was testicular removal.

  “No way doc,” replied Cane “I’m gitting a sicond opinion ey!”

  The second Aussie doctor gave Cane the same diagnosis and also advised him that testicular removal was the only cure. Not surprisingly, he refused the treatment.

  Cane was devastated, but with the Rugby World Cup just around the corner he found an expat Kiwi doctor and decided to get one last opinion from someone he could trust.

  The Kiwi doctor examined him and said: “Cane Cuzzy Bro, you huv Prostate suckness ey.”

  “What’s the cure thin doc?” asked Cane, hoping for a different answer.

  “Wull, Cane,” said the doctor “Wi’re gonna huv to cut off your balls.”

  “Phew, thunk god for thut!” said Cane. “Those Aussie ******** wanted to take my test tickets off me!”

  @ufo(ufo)-263:

  JPP is a better winger than O’Connor IMO. O’Connor is very talented indeed especially as a ball player but he isnt better than anyone really in the positions he plays 10/12/11/14/15. He is a “tweener” thus no real specified skillset. Valuable squad member. Dont think he is the most talented naturally,few names come to mind: Aaron Cruden,Johan Goosen,Kurtley Beale,Israel Dagg etc O’connor suspect under high ball, front on defense,question mark on his out and out speed.

  Good player though. But dont think he will ever be the “new Tim horan”…as many pundits have punted. Doesnt have the size,amazing acceleration nor hard nosed physicality that pocket tank Horan hand. O’Connor best suited for 15 but Beale is better than him there.
