This gives nothing away. Frans Steyn automatically attacks the 10-12 channel whether it’s in the gameplan or not. That’s what big inside centres do, and he does it better than most.

Frans Steyn will take the crash ball time and time again, he will never pass and more often than note will lose the ball in the contact situation.

All the English have to do is watch last weeks match of the Bulls, they will know how to take care of the kick and bulldoze game,

Eish why do we have to keep being so one dimentionable

Hopefully at least some of this is made up and the Boks are not giving anything away. Reminds me of a few disasters of the past – du Plessis being one. As tot he players – let Heineken have his way the proof is in the eating. I don’t think Barritt and Farrell will be pushovers, even for F Steyn and certainly not M Steyn. Remeber also in the RWC what happened when F Steyn was injured in a game he needn’t have even played in! When a key player is gone, team self belief falters. The AB’s know this; that is why BoD was deliberately targeted in the Lions tour and Smit by Thorne in NZ.

Forget the individual players for a moment – rugby is a team game and HM needs to quickly weld up a team with some self belief otherwise he’ll be on the back foot. One way is to start with players that know each other but Test rugby is a little different to S15. SA teams are notoriously fragile and one dimensional – you could see this in both the Lions vs Sharks & Bulls vs Stormers games. When things didn’t follow the plan; key players didn’t deliver, set pieces went wobbly and in fact wobbles started all over.

Hopefully HM can counter this with solid set pieces and flexible tactics; even in the face of dodgy refs. Ask the Lions in their last visit to SA – they couldn’t beat Brycie; but neither could the Boks in RWC!

@CT Shark(CT Shark)-166: Actually he now coaches at international level and wouldn't get there if he didn't know his stuff. Jake and Divvy did not even have vodacom cup experience. Get over it.

WOW the BOK BULLDOZERS are going to win the game for the Boks…boring and no way, the English will put them to the sword. All it will take is the English to score a couple of quick tries and the Boks will fall apart, they have no plan B…ummm..yes they do….KICK IT…come on you guys, what is going to change with the Boks game from 2009, when all they did was kick, wait for the mistake and convert it to points, but ahhh the AB’s sorted that out and come 2010 did the Boks 6 and 0…end of story on that, but then 2011 of course the AB’s won the RWC and just by watching your U-20 Team, looks like the DNA of the Boks game is surely enshrined in this Team also…so I am picking the English to win and win well, even the AB’s would have a tough time dealing with them but then the AB’s would still win that game….Loubser has after all given away your game plan…duhhhh!!! I wonder what the English will do…lets see…keep the ball away from the 10-12 channel oh yes….easy to see and easy to do…bulldozers cant run very fast anyway….for the series…3-0 to the English…easy as mince pie…

Seriously…..

We’re going to contemplate what Ricardo Loubser thinks???? This D00S coaches Vodacom Cup…..and we’re going to take his word at an international level?

F#ck him!!

He is so far off being an international coach it’s not funny! It’s like the ANC wanting a say in who the IMF gives money to. This clown is just another political quota joke…..

God help us against the English with our one dimensional BUL coach and a chimp for the backline……..

PDiv’s asked(in a radio interview this am) if he’d invite Oregan H around to his pad for a braai. Replies(spontaneously) that if he was hungry he would. But if he wasn’t why would he? I had to pull over before I caused an accident. I miss this dude plenty. He’s bloody sharp and very bladdie amusing.

Again — music to the ears of most coaches. SA will rely on a limited game plan, based 100% on achieving complete forward dominance? Shocking. So original and creative. That’s why Meyer earns the big paycheck, huh?

Thank God it will be hard for opposition to know what they’re getting from the Boks. Most be a nightmare for them to figure out where to prepare.
