If we dont progress to the next round Dawie must be fired. They can make PDV coach of the U/20 seeing that he has achieved winning a trophy with a previous age group team.

I am surprised Bok schools team tries to play the same kind of footy as the Bokjs side. Having Matfield, Botha, Smit etc bully guys is one thing but expecting kids to do it & a 19 yr old 10 to play the up & under game is just dumb.

I have seen schoolboys play in Durbin & they played with width, skill & enthusiasm. I don’t get trying to stifle that…

There seems to be this transvaal mentality to bully everyone, what about the coasters running game? The stormers are playing Crusaders rugby circa 1999. The cheetahs & sharks are the only ones breaking the line & using big loosies in continuity play.

Will HM try to change any of this stuff?

As a kiwi I hope he doesn’t, but as a rugby fan I hope he does.

Makes me want to puke, but still I will give him a chance. If (when? ) he fails then it’s fair game.

@Whatever – Look – I’ll give HM a chance but I don’t like his selections at all.. He has overlooked more talented players and put Bulls in the team. That is not fitting for a national coach.

BTW – Zane is set to start @ 15, how does that make u feel?

Unfortunately SA rugby will never evolve as it is dominated by ‘moer hulle’ Afrika@ns boneheads (like Heyneke and Dawie Theron) who select brawn over brains everytime. If you take this type of(Bulls) player on physically. They fold and have no plan B

@Slumtown(Slumtown)-82: Have to say Robert Ebershohn next to Francois Steyn would be a very, very good combination. In every way.

Reading these blogs,I get the impression many have the impression that the European teams are a bunch of softies.I support Richmond,who have just got promotion to’Division One’ in England. This is really the third division. Two of our players are in the England Under 20. Believe me, these guys are big, tough and fast. They moer each other just as much as the South African teams.
South Africa will not just roll England over as you all seem to think.
I support the Springboks when they come to Twickenham, as I’m SA born and bred,but less arrogance and self delusion please.
As for the current selection-dumb.

@louis schropnel(louis shrapnel)-81: lol I hear you. It is enough to make you want to whack yourself on the head with a log. Dom donderse domkrag. Which makes Heinkes selections even more irritating. Kolisi plays clever as well as tough, Aplon has an attacking brain, so does de Jongh, Ebersohn has been the best 13 all season and plays with rugby acumen, Joe Pietersen has been magnificent. Yet all ominously left out for more big guys with the exception of Keegan.

@TheTackler(TheTackler)-75: Have to agree there – they are just streets ahead of everyone else – the Ozzies have their moments too but none are as well trained and play with a true appreciation of the game on a consistent basis through all levels – Juniors, Seniors, Sevens the lot. What I can not fathom, for the life of me, is that we seem to be incapable of looking at them and learning. No shame in that. But we are bullish about our insistence on “playing to our strengfs ekse” – big okes trying to walk over other big okes – somewhere in the last 30 years the other teams okes also got big and got very good at defending so its simply not possible to walk over them anymore.

Secondly if you dont have possession you cant win the effing game – if we continue to kick and kick and kick and kick and bloody well kick we are never going to be top dawgs. Look at the moronoic Juniors today – one boxkick after another – charged down kicks, bad kicks, directly out kicks, kicks gifting possession, kicking for kickings sake kick kick kick. FFS. When is someone going to switch on a video of a New Zealand game and just analyse why the hell they play so well. Comeon man. can we really be that clueless?

@TheTackler(TheTackler)-75: wow i agree with you and the rugby players even *** from bullshit schools and heavy drinking dysfunctional families yet they consistently beat our clever private schooled spoilt brats.
