Habana hits back
19 Jun 2012
Bryan Habana has answered his critics in the best possible way this season – through his performances on the field.
After a disappointing 2011, Habana re-emerged in the 2012 Super Rugby competition as one of the form wings and returned to the national set-up rejuvenated and renewed. He turned in consistent showings for the Stormers, solid performances shot through with a characteristic crowd-raising brilliance. And if the man himself is to be believed, that was just a starting point.

‘I’ve gone back to basics,’ he says in the new issue of SA Rugby magazine. ‘I’ve found myself in the right place at the right time, whereas in the past year or two maybe I wasn’t in that kind of position.
‘When things aren’t going your way, you tend to overwork yourself. You know you should allow the ball to come to you in space, but when it doesn’t, you go looking for it, sometimes unnecessarily. This season, certain things have made all the difference.’
Habana goes on to explain what those things are, while Stormers attack coach Robbie Fleck provides some insight into Habana’s struggles last year.
The winger also talks about what it’s like working with Heyneke Meyer, competition for the Bok No 11 jersey and mentoring tomorrow’s stars.
Also in the new issue:
Adriaan Strauss – page 58
– Keo on why the Kings should not have appointed a Kiwi coach
– How Cheetahs hooker Adriaan Strauss powered his way into Springbok contention
– The Bulls have given JJ Engelbrecht the opportunities he was denied at the Stormers
– Tim Whitehead has helped to solve the Sharks’ problems in midfield
– Former France prop Pieter de Villiers on how he got into coaching, the technical aspects of the scrum, and why it is such an important part of the game
– A once-proud New Zealand franchise has fallen on hard times. The big question is: Can the Blues find a way back?
– In his most revealing interview since winning the World Cup, Graham Henry talks about the pressures of the All Blacks job, the effect it had on his family, and what he’s up to now
JJ Engelbrecht – page 64
– Wallabies captain David Pocock is not your average rugby player
– Ruan Pienaar had an outstanding season for Ulster
– Former Free State prop Daniel Kotze has become the cornerstone of the Clermont scrum
– Gary Gold on his short stint at Newcastle, the challenge he faces at Bath, and the issue that fractured his relationship with Peter de Villiers

congratulations to Bryan…
put in tons of hard work in the off season and his determination to get back to his old form had been rewarded.
Kudos to him…
now just keep it up and score some more tries…
19 Jun 2012, 08:16 am
had = has
19 Jun 2012, 08:16 am
Having a very good season is Bryan.
Finding his mojo again.
19 Jun 2012, 08:25 am
why is he in a hoody?
and what is the ridiculous looking matrix type letters in the background supposed to mean?
19 Jun 2012, 08:29 am
All of a sudden we have great depth in wings again. Habana, JP, Mvovo, Basson, Aplon.
How much has he scored for the Stormers this season? 5 or 6?
I predicted at the beginning of the season that he will score eight. Still a few games to go for him to get that.
Can Meyer bring in Mvovo now, with Bryan and JPP playing great rugby? Dont think so. Amazing what a bit of competition in the squad can do for one’s game.

@toulon says(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-4: Bryan is Gangsta Bru…..
Fo Shizzle mah Nizzle…..
19 Jun 2012, 08:33 am
@toulon says(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-4: He is in an athletic mood, ready to go! Those are his demons or atleast the demons that Keo co. have created. Bryan has a very strong mental state and none of that would have been going through his mind during his slump.
19 Jun 2012, 08:38 am
@stormersboy(stormersboy)-6:
hehe
fo shizzle indeed.
i will admit, like tac, i do not like the springboks to project such silly images in public appearances. i would prefer them to be cleanly cut and properly dressed.
yes, times and fashions move on but some things should never change.
19 Jun 2012, 08:38 am
the graphic designer forgot to include “cant step” in those inscriptions….unless habs purposefully asked for that to be removed for fear of being found out
19 Jun 2012, 08:38 am
seriously though, glad that habs is back
19 Jun 2012, 08:43 am
All the underperforming players are excelling under Meyer. Watch Olivier this weekend.
19 Jun 2012, 08:44 am
@toulon says(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-8: I actually agree with you.
If I were the Bok coach i would arrange a “kontiki”where they would get hold of the mullets and afros and such and give them a good shave.
I wonder what Ashley Johnson would look like with a kaalkop.
19 Jun 2012, 08:45 am
@Sasuke(Sasuke)-7:
ok, thanks for pointing it out.
i see the demons now.
i dont think i have what it takes to be a graphic designer.

i am convinced elton would look better without that hair gel and that haircut.
and the less said about that rockstar number 9 the better.

19 Jun 2012, 09:01 am
@toulon says(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-15:
At least the rockstar does no longer have the Axl Rose mullet hairstyle although he is now trying to emulate David Beckham (tattoos and cars) , he only needs to find a Posh girlfriend and maybe a plastic surgeon.
19 Jun 2012, 09:07 am
Ja neh…

@Atreides(Atreides)-23: I wouldn’t walk around an American Gated community….
Liable to get shot.
19 Jun 2012, 09:33 am
I’m one of his biggest critics (for the last 5 years) and I’m very glad he found his form. It was obvious in the Stormers games as well. When he plays like that, same with JP, I have no problem with them playing for the boks.
Thanks guys for putting that little extra in!!
19 Jun 2012, 09:43 am
Yeah,sticking to the basics,a recipe for winning rugby.
19 Jun 2012, 09:44 am
Maybe cause he’s playing under Meyer again. Did he not loose his form when he left the bulls?
19 Jun 2012, 09:44 am
@toulon says(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-8:
Boks look impressive in their no1 dress uniform, an image that projects all business, not here to ffuck around.
19 Jun 2012, 09:51 am
@toulon says(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-8:
As a pink Bulls supporter, I assume you’d prefer them to keep their fashion statements for the field of play?
19 Jun 2012, 09:51 am
Hmmm. Must say the cover looks kinda familiar.
Looks like an Eminem type of theme.
@RugbyStudent(RugbyStudent)-27: If you didn’t realize Habana was seriously off-form for years now, you obviously have some type of problem. Habana will one day have to thank his critics for not being happy with his average performance.
19 Jun 2012, 09:52 am
@Sharks fans are genuine Bok supporters(Predawn)-11:
Yip this England team will probably make Oliver look good, he might even score a try.
19 Jun 2012, 09:58 am
@NZINCHINA(NZINCHINA)-35:
yeah, but who for?
19 Jun 2012, 10:01 am
@>^..^< katman(katman)-21: And Marler’s latest offering is actually TAME by his standards.

@David(David)-36:
sorry mate you’ll have to explain that obviously i’m missing something here
19 Jun 2012, 10:02 am
. . . and credit goes also to blondie for taking a chance on a brown man
19 Jun 2012, 10:03 am
@Sasuke(Sasuke)-7: the funny thing for me is for the past 2 years some of us have been saying bryan is kak and off form and some here were defending him, now bryan apparently is admitting that he was INDEED in a funk, so what say those who defended him?
‘I’ve gone back to basics,’ he says in the new issue of SA Rugby magazine. ‘I’ve found myself in the right place at the right time, whereas in the past year or two maybe I wasn’t in that kind of position.
‘When things aren’t going your way, you tend to overwork yourself. You know you should allow the ball to come to you in space, but when it doesn’t, you go looking for it, sometimes unnecessarily. This season, certain things have made all the difference.’
so this guy was played in the bok team for two years while he admits he was rubbish
19 Jun 2012, 10:04 am
in the same way that Ireland are making the kiwis look good?
19 Jun 2012, 10:05 am
@NZINCHINA(NZINCHINA)-35: No, we don’t need that – please. If Olivier happens to perform even ‘adequately’ on Saturday, we are stuck with him. His fans will herald the rebirth of a star and Elizabeth Arden will be drawing up sponsorship’s before the final whistle goes. No, Olivier must perform in his usual manner, so that all the Wynand Wags will finally realise that mediocrity should never be rewarded.
19 Jun 2012, 10:08 am
@Sharks fans are genuine Bok supporters(Predawn)-11: you know you’re talking kak you just lack the people to tell you…since when have you supported the springboks because just last year you were “undecided” of your support for them?
19 Jun 2012, 10:09 am
@the artist formerly known as gunther(gunther)-41:
You rate Oliver, fair enough his strike rate is a little low for my liking what is he one try from 40 tests?

@NZINCHINA(NZINCHINA)-38: O’Gara unfazed by Hansen jibe
Published: Tuesday, 19. June, 2012
Ronan O’Gara has shrugged off claims by New Zealand coach Steve Hansen that Ireland reached their peak during the second Test in Christchurch.
O’Gara featured as a replacement in the first and second Tests and could resume fly-half duties if Jonathan Sexton is moved to inside centre in place of the injured Gordon D’Arcy.
And he is not reading too much into Hansen’s comments about their display in the 22-19 loss in Christchurch, when Dan Carter kicked a late winning drop-goal while the world champions were down to 14 men.
O’Gara said: “A lot of that, you can read into it after an event. You could say that it is condescending but I don’t think it was meant like that.
“We all speak with emotions sometimes and that was what Steve felt at the time. I would have no problem with that.”
O’Gara revealed that Ireland’s poor performance in the first Test at Eden Park, when they lost 42-10, had shaken the squad but was pleased with their response.
“Ireland did play well the other night,” he said. “The All Blacks were probably in second gear and they had every reason to be in second gear because of the way we played at Eden Park. It is only natural.
“Steve was probably relieved to get over the finish line as you could see an edge to them.
“When Dan Carter kicked the drop goal, you don’t often see that with the All Blacks, so you could see what it meant to them. Fair play to them. They squeezed out a winning position from, probably, an un-winnable position with a man in the bin. That is what they deserve all the credit for.”
19 Jun 2012, 10:11 am
@NZINCHINA(NZINCHINA)-38: so hansen is already writing off other teams, 2 games to his tenure…
this is going to be fun, go “boofhead” shag!
19 Jun 2012, 10:11 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-45:
The Irish could have won, they didn’t and they won’t on Saturday.
19 Jun 2012, 10:13 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-46:
under Ted the Ab’s probably won at least 10 tests in the last 5 minutes so nothing new here, Hansen has his way of doing things lets see how he goes
19 Jun 2012, 10:14 am
@NZINCHINA(NZINCHINA)-38:
Olivier has tended to allow more tries to be scored through his channel than he’s scored or set up himself.
19 Jun 2012, 10:17 am
no mate I was just asking if it was the same?
19 Jun 2012, 10:18 am
@David(David)-49:
oh right so why is he in the Bokke team then, nobody rates him except Gunther, he doesn’t set up or score tries and the opposition runs through him, how does that work then?
19 Jun 2012, 10:18 am
@toulon says(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-16:
Very funny! So no individuality anymore?
Everyone should look the same?
19 Jun 2012, 10:20 am
there’s no way we can play wynand versus nonu or sbw…just think crusaders 27 – bulls 0
nuff said.
19 Jun 2012, 10:21 am
@NZINCHINA(NZINCHINA)-51: If you can unearth the answer to that question……
19 Jun 2012, 10:22 am
Boks have faith in Olivier
Cape Town – Wynand Olivier looks likely to start at inside centre for the Springboks in the third and final Test against England in Port Elizabeth on Saturday.
Bok coach Heyneke Meyer is expected to pick the Bulls centre in the No 12 jersey as Frans Steyn is unavailable because he is getting married.
Olivier was a largely unpopular choice amongst South African rugby fans when Meyer named his Springbok squad for the England series but the Bok management has faith in the player’s capabilities.
“Wynand was our top defender when he came on (during last week’s Test in Johannesburg),” defence coach John McFarland told Die Burger.
McFarland was also impressed with how Olivier defended against giant 110kg English centre, Manu Tuilagi, who storms towards the flyhalf/inside centre channel. Olivier played a solid 35 minutes in the second half.
Fullback Patrick Lambie (ankle) and flank Willem Alberts (knee) appear to be the only major injury concerns for Meyer. Both underwent scans on Monday morning and they’ll be given until Wednesday to prove their fitness.
Gio Aplon trained at fullback in the shadow team with Jacques Potgieter working on the flank in the place of Alberts.
The Stormers’ Joe Pietersen was also called up on Monday to provide cover at fullback.
19 Jun 2012, 10:23 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-53: Oh mannnnnnnnnnnn. And Wynand’s fans to this day insist he ‘slipped’ whilst trying to tame the Sonny Bill.
19 Jun 2012, 10:24 am
just asking mate.
will england make him look good in the same way the paddies made your lot decent?
19 Jun 2012, 10:26 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-40: He doesnt say he was rubbish, he says that things didnt go his way no matter how hard he tried.
He was still putting in the hard yards on attack and defence. Things just didnt click for him in terms of breaking lines and scoring tries.
19 Jun 2012, 10:30 am
@NZINCHINA(NZINCHINA)-51: the same reason piri is in the all black team when most in new zealand know he is s.hit and fat.

@Transformation(Transformation)-64: Let hope he is our “top defender” again this Saturday! Thats all he can do.
19 Jun 2012, 10:38 am
Good that Habanero is back, starting to actually play decent rugby again. Other than being caught by the England Pirelli tyres no 8 after being put in the clear by his inside backs, he played well if not spectacular the last game out. His first test definitely showed glimpses of the Habanero of old…
But Brian needs to score tries – he was one of the most devastating finishers the world of rugby has ever seen, 8 tries in a RWC bares witness to this. If he can be 80% as good then Bok rugby can be more than happy. If not then maybe he needs to make way for the younger strike runners of the future like Mvovo or Rhule.
He is there to score tries, finish backline moves, counterattack and chase… But scoring is primary. And he needs to do this regularly.
19 Jun 2012, 10:42 am
Pity that Frans did not invite Zane and Wynand to his wedding.
19 Jun 2012, 10:43 am
ja everyone put away any “Wp Tendancies”, anti Heinecke (and by extension anti Bull, anti Springbok, and all that is good and proper in South Africa) sentiment…..

@Transformation(Transformation)-45:
couldn’t have said it better.
“they had an edge to them’..hahaha
like an ‘its time to revert to type and go for the desperation dirty play’ type of edge.
ab’s were kakking themselves so funny to watch.
reechee’s dirty little knee in the back of a player miles from the play went unpunished of course.
19 Jun 2012, 10:45 am
@Unplugged(Unplugged)-70: I would prefer it if Werner Kruger got a late ‘best man’ invite.

get used to it girls….
they are here to stay.

read through the posts transie.
its mostly nasty insults about the bulls players in the current bok squad.
19 Jun 2012, 11:10 am
Why have Habana in such a kak pose in that picture?
He looks like he’s about to join the London riots.
19 Jun 2012, 11:12 am
@toulon says(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-76: Nah man. Most only have good things to say about the majority of Bulls players, past and present. There are a few deserving of criticism and they are getting it – i.e. Kruger hasn’t sorted out his bind – he has had more than enough time to do it along with his specialist coaches and mentors – FAIL for Kruger. Ditto for Spies and Olivier, who have been mediocre for so long that when they ACTUALLY have an OK game( not great, but OK) people go nuts and hail them as being back in form and worthy Boks.
19 Jun 2012, 11:13 am
Bulls players will be slowly phased out once HM realises the error of his ways lol. If it weren’t for injuries to certain Stormers players I’m very sure the Bulls contingent would have been thin in the squad.
19 Jun 2012, 11:18 am
Frans is a “Frans” to have arranged his wedding on the same day as a test match. As much as I think he’s overhyped he is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Timo!

@>^..^< katman(katman)-86:
Did you see Stormerforlife1′s human rights post last night? One of my all time highlights in the history of this blog.
He said it is downright unconstitutional for Heyneke to discriminate against players based on their size.
Hehehe. So there you have it.
The coach is infringing on your human right to equality if he doesn’t rate you.
19 Jun 2012, 11:36 am
@Tacitus(Deucalion)-87: Seriously? I’m sure there was some kind of mitigating context you’re not mentioning here.
But still, it’s the coach’s prerogative to select the shape and size he needs. How about not being selected because the coach unfairly thinks you’re too old? Or too fat? Or not fast enough? Slow people have rights too.
Next we’ll have people clamouring for players’ constitutional rights to be selected based on their race. Hang on, why does that sound so familiar?

percy was not a bulls player when he was booed by bok fans
adi was not a bulls player when he was hated on this blog
neither was ricky when he was called “warthog on this blog..
peel off the victimhood cloak dude tl tl tl
19 Jun 2012, 11:50 am
@toulon says(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-90: Of course. It’s just ‘unfortunate’ for the Bulls fans that the entire Bulls squad (bar Sadie, Ndugane, and Wynie Strydom) are in the Bok setup, so by sheer virtue of their numbers they are going to get more grief than say, Stormers, Lions or Cheetahs players.
Sharks and Bulls players = majority, which in turn = majority of the grief as well.
19 Jun 2012, 11:55 am
@>^..^< katman(katman)-88:
Here’s his full post, unedited:
”So ,you wanna tell us that ‘little guys’ as you cal them have no test future with Meyer at the helm?It’s a crying shame for a national coach to publicy come out and make a statement like that and in the process destroys the aspirations of quite a few very good players,not to say youngster who fails Meyer’s hight and mass criteria.This is down right disgraceful if not unconstitutional and i hope the sports minister monitors this development very closely.”
So there you have it, in all it’s mindblowing glory.
19 Jun 2012, 12:02 pm
@Tacitus(Deucalion)-93: Ha ha, I can just imagine some militant constitutional law expert, whose son happens to be a 5 foot 4 aspiring outside centre, spitting out his weetbix when he reads that. I’m pretty sure Cheeky Watson has already started filing papers.

how about writing an article on Siya Kolisi,big splash spread,or on the great form Mvovo has been leading try scorers in SA,or reasons why Ashkey Johnson is leaving SA-or article on Marcel Coetzee his rise from obscurity having gone to Port Natal not a premier rugby school in Kzn to Collegians tobig TIME…

You fully understand who you are asking to do this hey?
19 Jun 2012, 12:10 pm
The Habanero (together with Lomu), is probably the best wingers in the modern game ever produced.
In their prime, they had different means of attack;
Habs – smokes you.
Lomu – steamrolls you.
With Brian edging the Tongan on defence and work rate.

I have noticed that, thus far, Heyneke Meyer hasn’t picked a single woman. That is probably unconstitutional as well. In short, Heyneke seems to be both a sexist and a shortist, and justice will not prevail until we see at least one she-dwarf (preferably a lesbian one) on the bench.

CAN SOMEBODY ANSWER ME THIS:
When will Hasbeenana be over the hill and be done with test rugby? When he decides to retire or will HM one day call him in and break it to him that the youngsters time has come…?
He’s playing decent rugby, but he’s not the standout best wing in the country! His experience is the reason why he is ahead of guys like Mvovo, Basson and Aplon… When will they be granted a chance to gain experience? (Mvovo and Basson are tied second in the leading try scoring stats for super rugby this season).
A series against England was a good opportunity to give a few young wings time to settle into test rugby. Imo
This obsession with Habana should stop for the benefit of the team. Imo
19 Jun 2012, 12:35 pm
i’m a huge Siya Kolisi fan, he should be in the squad. But Coetzee is awesome as well, but Kolisi above DaNIELS.
Kolisi suits HM’s ball carry style perfectly and tackles like a demon
19 Jun 2012, 12:36 pm
I just looked at the respective ages of the match 22 on Saturday. Did you guys noticed that 12 of the 22 are 27 years or older?
So, more than 50% of this team will need to be replaced in the next two years in order to give youngster experience for the 2015 RWC or will we have another PdV scenario where we do fairly well with the experience guys in the 1st two years of HM’s reign as coach and then take the majority of those players to the next RWC?
Will be interesting to see how he goes about evolving the team.

I believe he mentioned that he will build a younger team with time. The old guys will start dropping away one by one in the next few years…
19 Jun 2012, 12:40 pm
@Tacitus(Deucalion)-93:
It comes down to asking whether being tall and/or large is an inherent requirement of the job.
Otherwise the discrimination is justified and ergo constitutional.
I believe there was a case being made that minimum height requirements on SAA were discriminatory towards certain ethnic groupings because those groupings were on average shorter than certain other ethnic groupings.
It all gets very confusing…
19 Jun 2012, 12:40 pm
@Jeez(Jeez)-105:
I kind of share this view. Habana is adequate at the moment (surprisingly).
But he is not close to, and never will be again – to the player he was in 2007. That pace is gone for good.

@>^..^< katman(katman)-118:
Good argument
19 Jun 2012, 12:49 pm
@Jeez(Jeez)-119:
No I think Habana’s gonna hang around as long as he can.
Meyer already took him off after halftime and shifted Hougaard to wing this weekend.
Apparently the English were open about their intention to target Habana as they see him as a weak link on defense.
He had one good game – the opening test of the season – although he still gave away a try by going for the intercept in that game.
I don’t think he’s going to keep it up. I don’t think Mvovo has his general skillset, and I don’t think Basson is as solid on defense as a Bok wing should be, so at the moment I think Habana is just hanging in there until a clearly superior replacement arrives on the scene.
19 Jun 2012, 12:53 pm
@Thucydides(Thucydides)-102: And my sources on the inside have informed me that NAKSSRFU* are planning a crippling country-wide strike if their demands for fair representation are not met in the third test.

19 Jun 2012, 12:53 pm
@nama1(nama1)-107:
You have to look at it in context.
Jannie Dup is 29 and is playing his best rugby.
But Coenie Oosthuizen will be groomed to slot in as first-choice 3.
Bismark is 27/28 but most of his test career has involved cameo bursts in the second half, so he still has plenty of rugby left in him – injury-permitting.
Alberts is 28 but is a relative newcomer to the test arena, so he too has a fair bit of rugby in him, although he is prone to injury.
That said, SA has plenty depth in loose forward department.
Gio Aplon too is 29 but is as fast as lightning and is also relatively new to test arena.
It’s guys like Habana, JDV and Schalk who are getting on in years and who have played a mammoth amount of rugby over the past ten years.
It is here where decent succession planning must take place.
Habana is back in top form and it is wonderful to see, but Boks have Basson, Mvovo and Le Roux in the wings.
When Schalk returns from injury, I reckon a horde of rabid huns will struggle to pry him from the game.
He’ll play on with one working limb if he has to!
JDV is an interesting case.
He’s 31 already and he takes a helluva beating every time he takes the field – centres often do because of the traffic that goes down their channels.
But if you look at pros like O Driscoll and Mortlock they have soldiered on and sustained quality.
Okay, Mortlock was injured quite a bit over the last few years…
It will be interesting to see how far JDV can go.
I reckon Bekker – who is now 28, I think – may struggle to make it to 2015 RWC because he is so injury-prone.
Meyer must consider this and look to keep Kruger as his starting 5.
But Bekker will be hungry to make the World Cup, considering he missed out on the last one.
19 Jun 2012, 12:54 pm
@Jeez(Jeez)-123: That wasn’t an argument, just an observation. The argument followed two posts later. The observation still stands though.
19 Jun 2012, 12:55 pm
@Jeez(Jeez)-105: Habana is’nt that much older then Aplon, Mvovo and Basson. I think Aplon is older then Habana.
19 Jun 2012, 12:56 pm
@>^..^< katman(katman)-120:
Its a question of when it will end. Not that he’s playing brilliant, decent, okish, mediocre or bad rugga. Its a discussion based on the stupid article “Hitting back” which is not asking the right questions.
He’s not the best at the moment, wont improve to become brilliant (like in 2007) and does not have the x factor anymore…. So now that he’s playing ‘good’ rugby again(like many other wings who are younger), will this mean that he will be automatically picked,like in the past when he did not deserve to be in the starting 15. Or will he eventually be replaced with a promising youngster who will at some point have to build experience at test level…
19 Jun 2012, 12:56 pm
@Jeez(Jeez)-105: Because actually he is the best left wing in the country at the moment. Basson is a great finisher and great in the air, but his defence is almost nonexistent.
19 Jun 2012, 12:57 pm
@Jeez(Jeez)-105: Actually a good question. Habana has been playing decent rugger over the last few games thankfully but it is time to have the legend back scoring tries like he was doing 5 yrs back.
He has been one of the most fortunate players to be picked for the Boks on reputation alone… and yes his status as an Icon in World Rugger might have justified this to a certain extent.
But it is time for him to be the strike runner he used to be – even 80% of that would be good enough… In line with the team mantra “No excuses”
19 Jun 2012, 12:59 pm
@Unplugged(Unplugged)-128:
He’s not older than Hasbeen. If he was, at least he’s got more of an dangerous x factor than Hasbeen at present…
19 Jun 2012, 13:00 pm
@Mike H(Mike H)-106: Kolisi has been fantastic and so has Coetzee. Coetzee has taken his chance with both hands and has had a great start to his Bok career. Kolisi is definitely next cab off the rank though.
19 Jun 2012, 13:00 pm
@nama1(nama1)-107: 27 is maybe too low for a cut off. That means in four years time they will be just 31. In the case of Bismark, Jannie and the other forwards, that might not be too bad. In the backline it is only Jean and Habana? HM must bring in some new guys in anycase. I think that squad of youngsters training with the Boks will be part of the team within the next two years.
19 Jun 2012, 13:00 pm
@Jeez(Jeez)-129: Contrary to what you may think, all those “facts” you stated to back up your argument are in fact opinions. And you know what they say about opinions, hey.
Many, including myself, believe he’s almost back to his best. And his best is the best in the world – something the IRB agrees with.
None of the other names you mention are close to him, at this stage. Mvovo has talent and could possibly get there, but right now he’s not even in sight.
19 Jun 2012, 13:01 pm
@Transformation(Transformation)-59:
yer but Piri has been very good in the past thats the difference and he’s also not starting anymore

19 Jun 2012, 13:03 pm
@stormer in a teacup(stormer in a teacup)-130: No he’s not. He still hardly scores any tries. Blame it on the Stormers ‘bulls style’ of rugby, but he definitely doesnt make the opposition nervous any more. A wing should firstly be a strong finisher. The rest can be improved. If a wing has lost the instinct to score tries then his time has come to move over for a wing who can score tries…
19 Jun 2012, 13:04 pm

Two things on objectivity or an objective opinion before I leave though.
a) It is not influenced by emotion or personal prejudice (go read you first post again at the top of this page).
b) It is something that is presented based on some fact (at least). Refer to your post at 147.
Your opinion is a fair one, as is most on here. But be careful for selling something as objective fact when it is emotionally driven.
Now I have to leave but will catch up on this very entertaining thread tonight.
19 Jun 2012, 13:20 pm
Beast, Bismark, Kruger, Spies, Hougaard, Steyn, Pieterson, Kirchner, Greyling, Strauss, Ralepelle, Van Der Merwe, Brussow, Pienaar, Basson, Mvovo – all approaching or in their prime.
Kitshoff, Malherbe, Etzebeth, Coetzee, Kolisi, Stander, Goosen, Lambie, Taute – all youngsters with fanatastic rugby futures ahead of them. Plus more quality youngsters coming through – Steph-Du Toit, Willemse, Botha, Serfontein, Venter, Small-Smith, Mbovane, Jordaan etc.
The above, together with the seasoned and quality vets in the Bok squad, makes for a very potent blend.
And let’s not forget about Danie Rossouw, Fourie Du Preez and Jacques Fourie – who could still add a lot of value to the Bok set-up.
19 Jun 2012, 13:21 pm
@Unplugged(Unplugged)-152: That would be my assessment too.
19 Jun 2012, 13:21 pm
@>^..^< katman(katman)-149: I was asking when he will be dropped or if you guys believe that he will retire? No one really gave me any answers, so I gave opinions why he should be dropped thats all. jeez.
So when will Habana’s test career end? Probably never it seems.
19 Jun 2012, 13:23 pm
@Jeez(Jeez)-156: When he starts playing kak and there is a real contender to fill his shoes, or when he decides to step down. Neither of which seem imminent.

19 Jun 2012, 13:28 pm
@puff(puff)-126:
I did consider what you mention here.
Was just thinking back to the 2009 season when the “elders” in the team performed so well and they then demanded some reward with their two year contracts giving them a free ride to the 2011 RWC.
JS was playing the best rugby of his career then…at TH nogal.
More or less the same scenario for HM apart from the fact that the current team cannot claim world champion status as well.
Of the pack that played on Saturday, I think that the two brothers and Alberts will find that 2015 is a bridge too far. Maybe they’ll go there as impact players (15-20 minutes)
Bekker and Schalk, I’m afraid, won’t make it at all.
In the back line Habana, JdV, WO and Morne must only be used for the interim period (next two years, if that long)
We’ll have to see how HM goes about it.
19 Jun 2012, 13:29 pm

I was just thinking when reading all this mock outrage to a valid criticism of Habanero by Jeez… The thought was how all the hue and cry seems to have died down over replacing the Bismarck battleship with Strauss, who apparently has this “amazing” leadership potential and who apparently is “superior” to Bismarck in some facets of play…
Hmmm, it makes me chuckle hysterically at the rugby knowledge and intellect in this little fantasy forum of a bubble…
Bismarck is best at 2… No Doubt about it, even with very good competition for the hooker position…
In contrast…
Habanero may be best at 11… for the moment, by grace of his iconic status.

As a comparison between Habana and, say, one of his competitors… That should Mvovo have received the ball in the same space Habana found himself, he would not have been caught by Michelin Morgan the England 8, and surely would have scored the try on offer…
Habana still has a way to go to get back to his striking best.

@>^..^< katman(katman)-177: I am sure Jeez does not dislike Habana… and does not begrudge him his place in the team… But however good Habanero is currently compared to his low stds of last season or even the beginning of this super rugby season – he is nowhere near as good as Habs 2006/07 vintage. Thats not to say he isnt good but rather to say he is almost the Spies of the backline. Actually his form dip and present return to a semblance of his past excellence actually is pretty parallel to that of Spies.

Even though Bismarck is the best we have, if you cannot see the obvious qualities Strauss have, you are indeed a daft prick.

@sharks_lover: 55. I don’t judge – I comment on Rugby, but can’t resist having a dig at some of the petty chirps. I also can’t help taking a dig at you RT chaps – and you talk about frakking JUDGING. You judge to the extent of setting up a website just so that you could control what commentators say. You have your right to another website and I belong to a few Rugby commentary website, but dammit the justification of yours is nothing more than snivelling cowardice.
Go to Planet Rugby, and if you haven’t posted more than 100 times be prepared for a shagging from everyone. The “polite” greeting is ******* N00B. So grow a pair, unless you one of the so-called females who frequent this site.

He was more a passenger than a player in the winning of the 1st three cups, wasn’t he.
During the RWC in 2007, the coach prefered a 19 year old kid, fresh out of matric, ahead of him in the games that matter.
During the Lions he warmed the bench.
During the 3N he again warmed the bench.
Would it be fair to say that Chilliboy also won al that trophees?

@fantasticbarnsmell(fantasticbarnsmell)-193: Yeah… Maybe. But apparently his sprint times are pretty good for Stormers. 80% striker Habanero of 2007 is better than good enough combined with the higher work rate of Habs circa 2012. But I dont believe he is 80% yet. He used to have a phenomenal strike rate for the Boks. He, the Boks and us supporters need him to get back there or someone else should be given a go at 11 with a view to the future… As the Boks themselves say: “No more excuses”

Great magazine cover.Habana regaining his best form and the fact that he is working with Dr Calder again is a very significant fact.He did it before the 2007 wc and it’s great to see that he is at least aware of his shortcomings and willing to seek help to rectify it.

@rossoneri: 185. I have been on Keo for a while but did not comment and get involved as much. I got my kicks on another Rugby site (Not the Tabernacle, obviously).
However some parochial insanity needs to be challenged, therefore I will be around for a while until I get bored, or G10 ends up starting his own website – Sm(h)itTalk.
Sounds quite serious though – sending emails and threats is taking things a bit personally, but what do you expect from Mor(m)ons.
I dont fight, I just tell the unbiased truth and can never shoot toolbelt wearers or dykes. I quite like them myself actually:
“An old cowboy dressed to kill with a cowboy shirt, hat, jeans,
spurs, and chaps went to a bar and ordered a drink.
As he sat sipping his whiskey, a young lady sat down next to him.
After she ordered her drink, she turned to the cowboy and asked
him, “Are you a real cowboy?” To which he replied, “Well, I have
spent my whole life on the ranch, herding cows, breaking horses,
mending fences. I guess I am.”
After a short while, he asked her what she was.
She replied, “I am a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about
women. As soon as I get up in the morning I think of women, when I
eat, shower, watch TV, everything seems to make me think of
women.”
A short while later she left and the cowboy ordered another drink.
A couple sat down next to him and asked, “Are you a real cowboy?”
To which he replied, “I always thought I was, but I just found out
that I’m a lesbian.”

Strauss is a good player, but he has not lived up to his hype, certainly on Keo thats for sure… Now, you may call what I am saying daft, but I would just say its common sense. Not that I would expect you to have a surfeit of it to really understand, see?

@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-206: I must apologise for the rude manner of my post to you, but somehow you awaken those kind of emotions in me.
So I will try to be more civil.:
Yes, Chilliboy is also a decent hooker and I would perceive him and Strauss to be almost on even par. They both are good scrummagers and competes for the ball on the ground well. I think Strauss is a bit better with ball and hand though It is reported that HM is much impressed by Strauss’s leadership qualities, so maybe that puts him slightly ahead of Chili.
Bismarck is a great warrior, but he does have some flaws. Penalty count, losing the ball in contact and lineout throws amongst them, but I would still select him first. Vice-captaincy I’m not so sure about.

Habana is the most over rated Prickbok since drop kick freak Naas Botha. He had a couple of good seasons a hundred years ago.Good for an intercept try,but a total ***** on defence,wears more padding than a Dallas Cowboy and has slowed considerably.
To portrait him as one of the worlds best,is a kick in the face to at least 10 better wingers.
In conclusion Safwits,Habanas fluke year was a long time ago,the rugby world has moved on and it’s about time Habana did as well.

But what they dont count on is that this poster generally is on his own mission anyway, and that Sharks fans here on Keo generally dont take themselves too seriously. How can they specially when there is this great Keo window into the weird and wonderful flaky and rather ridiculous psyche of some Stormer rugby supporters.
It seems that this is an attempt at a bit of a war

It wouldn’t be a thread about Habana, if it didn’t mention his ‘obsession’ for coming out of the defensive line and look to intercept a pass
I think Tacitus made mention of it earlier
I’m by no means defending Habs, as it annoys the bejesus out of me, but surely this is something accepted, or even coached, by defensive coaches? It happens with such regularity…
I saw Hougaard try it twice late on in the second test, which made me consider the above.
If it is encouraged, I guees it comes down to player discretion where to attempt to intercept a backline play e.g. Anywhere outside your own 10m line, where you know the opposition have still got a fair distance to travel. Or when you’re fairly certain the scramble defence could cover you. It’s a high risk, high reward play
Perhaps Habana just doesn’t always make the right call on when to attempt it?
Anyway, just something that crossed my mind after the second test

Keo is a blog – only a blog, but it is entertaining and there are some knowledgable rugby people on this site.
Rangerman is quite right, don’t take things too personally, but have a swipe. Diversity of opinions makes one think more and the passionate “arguments” (sometimes) are entertaining.
If things are all “buddy, buddy” and “holier-than-thou” then it must get boring. But Biscuit reckons there are some diverse contributors on RT.

@Transformation: 433. You might turn into a Mormon if you spend too much time on RT. Its much like a cult where everyone is outwardly friendly but deep in the organisational structure there is a plot to brainwash everyone into thinking the same thoughts, with no disagreements. They also want to marry eachothers wives, because 1 is not enough.
They seem to take advantage of those vulnerable, softies who can’t defend themselves.
They are easily identified by the friendly overtures of “hiyas” and this deep, non-confrontational hate of the one who calls himself “God”.
But each to their own. There are better forums on the web such as Planetrugby. Go there and be greeted for the first time with “**** off. N00B”, as a standard answer. So Keo, by comparison, is a bit placid.
Anyway each to their own.”

If you bother to watch Tobbie Flood’s try, you’ll notice Habana’s great defence, coming across at a wrong angle, far too fast to make a telling tackle and no intention to bind Flood either, just a harmless brush off,,,

@PissAnt(PissAnt)-295:

what i recall was gunther giving justwugby gears for alleging that the broederbond were still influential in sa rugby.
eventually justwugby blew a fuse and announced his departure.
gwantie followed shortly afterwards (talking seconds now) also in a bit of a huff.

Case Pending: Abusers will be investigated.
The Equality Courts were created by the Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act 4 of 2000 (“the Act”), which was promulgated as a direct result of section 9 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 108 of 1996. Equality Courts across the country have been operational since late 2003.
The purpose of Equality Courts is to adjudicate matters specifically relating to infringements of the right to equality, unfair discrimination and hate speech, with a view toward eradicating the ever present post apartheid spectre which essentially has divided the country along racial, gender and monetary related lines.

> Where the hell is Grant,
I recall reading in one of Skopskiet’s posts that Grant was hospitalized after a freak accident involving a shrinking speedo that cut off the blood supply to his most vital organ. Apparently they had to amputate the dingetjie. Admittedly, I sometimes struggle to understand Skop’s posts … chances are I was guilty of over-interpretation.

I really dont see why all the fuss over habana.
Honestly i think he is average at the moment.
I hate seeing him play good in a few games then all the hype of Habana is back…. blah blah.
I think he South Africa blew there chances with Habana. So many years ago he was in his prime, fast, skillful, eager but never got the ball.
He would have scored 3 times as much if he played for NZ.
I still rate the guy but really has he answered all his critics….. i dont think so.

@Hurricane(Hurricane)-315:
Habana does not hit…. he slaps!!

Just got my copy. The poster of Tim Whitehead is actually Paul Jordaan. Use it, don’t use it.
16 Jul 2012, 23:37 pm
Habana
come on…. really!!!!
The guy is **** , loves homself too much, head is as big as his arse. his brain composition must be of similar substanance. Last I saw him play he put himself before the team in the England international which , because of him going for individual glory, lead to and English try.
…poor running lines.
… runs like a headless chicken.
….needs JP Pieterson to teach him about rugby. See has fantastic vision and quick thinking in the Cheaters Game. I havn’t seen such play for a very long time….. Amaising.
Have your say
