    @Jeraldjay-50:
    Ahh, Percy “speedstick” Montgomery. I remember it well.
    He was very rapid in his earlier days, but in his latter years whenever he ran, it seemed to me as if he forgot to release the handbrake…..lol
    But he remained an asset to the Boks

    @gunther-40:
    i think he matured well into the role yes, but was perhaps not a ‘best of breed’.
    but, to his credit we cant fault him on his goal kicking, especially in 2007.

    @TooMuchRugby-42:
    with the right training training training & coaching coaching coaching i think he could do it.
    but we can agree he would be dangerous ball in hand.

    Without Percival Montgomery we would not have won the RWC 2007 in France.

    @race of tan-48:

    Found an article on Supersport saying his contract was not renewed by WP and he left for Biarritz.

    13% of voters think the Boks will lose
    12% think All Blacks will lose
    89% think Wobblies will lose
    88% think Pumas will lose

    Surprised by the high amount that think the wobblies would lose at home, of which i’m one.

    @Jeraldjay-50:

    Guscott always seems to have a bit of a stiff upper lip and a very high opinion of himself. He did however say that he has never swapped a Lions jersey with anyone as it means too much to him, so maybe we can excuse him for that incident.

    I personally think this young Lions player, Coetzee, is the best 15 prospect we’ve seen in a while.

    Other than that, the best FB in the country toward the latter part of the S15 was Louis Ludik. Was never a huge fan of his but when he came back into the Sharks side first as a 14 then moved to FB in place of Viljoen, I really took a shining to him.

    Awesome in defence and has got some of his old pace back.

    I like Taute as well.

    Also would be there in front of Zane.

    My word Ryan….have you lost your marbles? Kirchner before Lambie??? You can’t even compare the two. Lambie is in a class of his own at 15. Kirchner in the green and gold has been weak to medium and he gets your backing. You probably back Steyn at 10 as well? How bad do you have to be to retain your position? Elton deserves a run with Steyn on the bench to cover. We’ve seen how good Elton is in the big games and he deserves a run. Me thinks HM’s record after this series is not going to look as rosy as everyone thinks!!!

    It’s called propoganda Greegs, trying to convince people that nonentities like Kirchener actually belong in a Springbok team.

    Kirchener is useless. This is just propaganda for the quota.

    After the Chiefs executed Habana tactics on Lambie in the Super 15 final I am glad that he is not starting at 15.

  • 66.rangerman: Reply to this comment

    @wnbb-65: he hadnt played in a while bud so he was rusty.

    worst game i have seen from lambie.

    but then again he is only 21 or 22 with 13 boks caps already so i expect that he will come right.

    he should be at 10 though imo, the argument for steyn has diminished in light of his terrible kicking percentages this year.

    if steyn was ruan p, he would have been replaced, oh say the middle of the pom series.

    @wnbb-65: You have said this before. And we have said this as well. Lambie was not game fit. He had been injured since he played for the Boks against England in the 2nd test. He had only had 40min game time since then. Plum should have played him off the bench. He is actually a very good fb. BUT a excellent fh. Lambie should have been starting at fh to see what we have in him before we play Wallabies and ABs. Remember he played most of his games at fh this year for Sharks not fb. Only played a few games there towards the end of the season.

    If anything Ludik in the last few games of the season was our best fb in our conference and probably should have been there. Though Lambie against the Stormers at the Tank played fb then and was superb. So have to see. Lambie will cover fb and fh. I personally hope he gets sometime at fh against the Argies.

    Naas on Boots said he would have started Lambie at fb. Rated him more than Zane.

    @John Galt-58:
    Don’t know much about this lad Coetzee, but gotta agree on Ludick. His spot tackles as a last line of defence is outstanding, similar to Lambie. Great timimg, awareness and technique IMHO. We will need that kind of last ditch D against the ABs plus he is strong in the tackle and has a good turn of pace.

    Zane is kak, full stop. He is Henyneke Meyer’s Jorrie Muller. I hate seeing a guy so out of his depth playing for the Boks. Ludik would do a much better job than him, and so would Lambie. Once Taute is back from injury I hope we see him at fullback.

    @Puma-67: Lambie was kak against the Lions as well.
    Thing with him is, he doesn’t know what his best position is, because his coaches don’t know.
    He is not a specialist 15, not a specialist 10 at this stage.
    Destined for a spot on the bench until he stamps his authority on a specific position (and for more than TWO games….)

    Hope the Sharks coaching team are ready to make a final decision, because while Michalak was good for the Sharks cause, he has utterly fuckedup Lambie’s for now…..

    @The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-71: In fact having Michalak in Durban was bad for Springbok rugby.

    I see kirchener is getting it in the neck again,no doubt the kirchener haters are having a field day sad really.As a bulls fan i have already stated that i do not think he is up to test standard,but i also want to say that every time i have watched him play for the boks,i cannot think of him ever letting the boks down.He is a steady if not flashy player,who gives a 100% every time he plays whether it be for the bulls or the boks,so guys give him a break maybe he will have a really good game for the boks tomorrow.

    #74 TMR The only way i think i can answer that is he has more bok experience than the rest of the names being touted and i think that will help him and he has also played in super rugby finals.

    @Jeraldjay-50: Maybe because Guscott played 12 or maybe because he won the series with a last minute drop.

    The best news about Jntjies are that he will ply his trade soon at the Stormers;)

    @itsamyth-68:
    His time will come, Kirchner is a high maintenance dud, gets injured pretty early in most series.

    @goodstuff-77: maybe, but Guscott is just one of those characters. Neil Jenkins was rooming with him first on that tour he tried to make small-talk with JG who looked up from behind his newspaper and told him to go bother one of his Welsh mates and leave him alone. :lol:

    Where is he these days?

    Meyer’s tactics are outdated and limited.

    He wouldnt pick Izzy Dagg cos it doesnt fit his “tactics”

    Aplon should be Bok 15

    @goyougoodthing2-64:
    “This is just propaganda for the quota.”

    It would’ve been all good if you just said, “This is just propaganda.” Why did you have to mention “quota?” and thereby bring his color into the discussion?

    Has anybody ever bring in the color of Pierre Spies or Tarzan Potgieter when their inclusion in the Bok team were discussed?

    @John Galt-58: @itsamyth-68:
    Ludik must first ensure that he is the best FB at his franchise before he can claim to be the best FB in the country.

    Until then, he’ll have to abide his time or move to another province.

    ————————-
    Personally, I’m not a great fan of Zane myself but of the current talent available at FB, I think he is not that far behind the rest. In fact, some will argue that he is the best out there.

    HM does and I’m sure that at least ou Tac will agree with that. :lol:
