    @ufo(ufo)-1:
    Farking relax dude.

    Those boks have just flown half way round the world to get back home after a quarterfinal loss in a world cup. And him and the rest of the benched boks havnt been training with the Sharks for the past few weeks either.

    Plum knows exactly what he’s doing in putting these guys on the bench this week and then look to start them in the semis next week.

    What you have failed to recognise and what is more concerning is that Plum has picked possibly the oldest and slowest 12/13/14 combo in the history of the game.
    I do hope Stef and Odwa retire at the end of this year. Please plum grant me that one wish.

    @John Galt(John Galt)-5:

    hehehe…

    i’m relaxed dude…

    just wondering if any of those who’ve been criticising PdV would have the honesty to criticise plum tree for the same thing…

    obviously not hey…?

    can hardly say bissy needs the break… cause everyone said he should’ve played the full 80 for every game… so he must be fresh as a daisy…

    you can’t say he hasn’t practised etc… either… cause neither has lambie…

    so if divvy is the so bad for putting smit above him… i find it very revealing that none of these people have the integrity to comment on the fact the plumtree is putting burden above bissy…

    @ufo(ufo)-6:
    Its a very different scenario to that of the Boks. Plum had a word with all the returning Boks and said that they would feature off the bench for the first game against a Lions B team and then they WILL start in the Semis.

    You cant honestly say that Plum thinks Coetzee is better than Alberts and that Herbst is better than Jannie?
    There is a definite plan here to get them back into the groove with the Sharks, get them used to all the calls etc and then unleash them in the Semis.

    As for Lambie, he has been forced to play through injuries to others.
    Bosman and Adi and Ludik are out injured, which has forced Plum to play Joubert at 12, Stef at 13 and Lambie at 15.
    Had Ludick been fit, he would have played 15 and Lambie would have take JLPs place on the bench.

    @John Galt(John Galt)-7: Why then does Lambie and Odwa start ? Plum is doing the same as PDv , if Smit was there who do you think will play in the Semi’s ?

    @Transformation(Transformation)-9:

    hehehe… thank you for your opinion transie… :wink:

    that first post was a poor imitation of those who shout their opinions all the time…

    but the only embarrassment should be for those who insist bissy should play 80 minutes in every game when Pdv is the coach but have no problem with him warming the bench for burden…

    they said it… not me…

    and pdv also had a plan… and that plan did all but win the game against aus… many have expressed their opinion that the ref lost the game for us… i don’t share that view…

    but just illustrating that there are clearly two set of standards here… one reserved for pdv and one for everyone else…

    deny it all you like…

    i could suggest that you’d be embarrassing yourself to do so…

    but i won’t… :wink:

    @sparticus(sparticus)-14:
    I explained why Lambie is starting.
    I dont really know why Odwa is starting, perhaps because he got absolutely no game time in th WC and probably shouldnt have been there in the first place.
    I would liked to have seen Sithole stay in the mix. Prinlsoo as well. I think the Sharks have the weakest 12/13/14 combo in the entire CC for this game. Honestly.
    If Smit was still there? I have no idea what Plum would have done in the Semis.

    @ufo(ufo)-15: it’s amusing that you suggest something “two sets of standards” and the you subseqently recommend what my answer should be “deny it all you like” and the finish off by conviniently thrashing my supposed answer “i could suggest that you’d be embarrassing yourself to do so”. :D

    a few people trying to make out they’re not hypocrites here…

    we’ve heard for over two years that bissy must start every game… from sharks fans during the s15 and from bok fans too?

    and now…?

    the silence is revealing…

    Kick up that nest.

    And get stung on your ***.

    The main flaw in your argument:

    Exhibit 1 – Plumtree knows Bismark is better than Burden.

    Exhibit 2 – PdV said Smit was the best hooker in the world.

    No contest.

    I win.

    Nothing sinister in it.

    But keep kicking up that [imaginary] nest if you want.

    :lol:

    i’m not talking about why pdv or plummo are doing what they’re doing…

    i’m talking about the reaction (or not) from all you experts and how you and the others told us over and over that bismarck must start every game…. you told us that for the sharks and for the boks…

    not one of you qualified your statements…

    you simply said things like bissy should play 80 minutes of every game… you’re the guys who shouted so long and hard about it… so i’m just finding out if you’re men of your words….

    i have my answer… :wink:

    Correct

    Old, slow and kak …. and with Bambie there, playing in his preferred position that has to be the slowest most useless backline around.

    What a stupid backline surley bosman should have been at 12? I would have gone for:

    15 Steffan Terblanche
    14 JP Pietersen
    13 Marius Joubert
    12 Meyer Bosman
    11 Lwazi Mvovo
    10 Fredrick Michalak
    9 Conrd Hoffman
    8 Ryan Kankowski
    7 Jean Deysel
    6 Keegean Daniel
    5 Ross Skeate
    4 Willem Alberts
    3 Wiehahn Herbst
    2 Bismark Du Plessis
    1 Tendai Mtawarira

    16 Craig Burden
    17 Jannie Du Plessis
    18 Marcel Coetzee
    19 Jaques Botes
    20 Charl Mcloed
    21 Patrick Lambie
    22 Louis Ludik

    @Rhys7(Rhys7)-27: from elsewhere “Two new players have been confirmed out after last weekend’s game against the Leopards, with a third also finally confirmed as being on the injured list.

    Meyer Bosman is the most serious of these, having sustained a fracture to his cheek on Saturday night. The big centre-***-flyhalf’s season would appear to be over, while Adi Jacobs, so impressive as Bosman’s centre partner on Saturday, has been ruled out for a fortnight or so with a hamstring strain”

    Yip… Bambie and the slowest backline cannot beat this awesome fast Lions team!! No way… The Lions are top of the CC log!! With no Springboks involved! That’s no mean feat!!

    Looks like Plum is listening to me and keeping Lambighini in the position he has now made his own – Full Back.

    Good one Plum!

    @Transformation(Transformation)-32: Why will I change my tune? Lambie must now stay at 15 unless a huge emergency at 10… Nothing wrong with JLP at 10 as backup to Michalak. Granted nether are good as Lambie at 10, but he is the best 15 in the country and he should now stay there.
