But why did some of your fellow countrymen pick the lowest common denominator to ‘fit in’? Suppose it is like family, you can’t pick them!

Anyway, I think if you read Ali’s post again you will note his smiley face may have slipped off the page, little ill will in the post unless you looking for it.

@TheTorcuatense-248:
Ohh so you support the Boks as well……. that alright mate no one is perfect.
Joking, anyway good to have you on Keo, can get a bit heated at times as you would expect.Too alot rugby is more than a sport.

@aliboy-246:
Even the smiley face did not give you a clue that i was joking.
Lets hope Torcuatense can make up his own mind on who to look out for.
Straight away he knows you are clueless to think if you blog on a South African site then that country has to be you second team…… daft comment really.

Hurricane, sorry but the loyalty of many Argentines is with SA.
We have a history, in fact, the name pumas, was doing for a Southafrican reporter. He can´t tell ” YAGUARETÉS ” (the real name of the cat in our chest), and he was the things more easy and tell “PUMAS”, another reason to tell pumas, was for the bravery shwed in the match (1965, Pumas 11- Junior Boks 6).
Izak van Heerden help us, the same histori in 1982, when Nellie Smith help us and we win under the name SUDAMERICA XV against the boks 21-12.

But for yuor knowledge, I always support the south teams. In the past RWC I was an all black fan in the final.

Regards and thanks!

This fixation that Bekker must be Matfield 2.0 needs to stop. Matfield was a legend. Bekker might not be as good but he is still the best we have now. It is entertaining how badly Spies was missed in the line outs, yet few people here notice it.

The only legimate complaints I can see are Hougaard at 9, Steyn at flyhalf, Keegan being too light and Potgieter not stepping up enough to bridge the physicality gap.

I see the fallacy that Brussow will somehow magically protect our ball from the opposition slowing it down while off their feet is also still doing the rounds.

Thank God the mob on Keo is not indicative of the average SA rugby supporter. Don’t get me wrong the Bok performance wasn’t good enough, the Argies played well and got away with some dodgy breakdown moves but since very few people here make comments in light of the personnel available well… it makes most of these comments pretty much worthless.

As for Hurricanes advice about 2nd favourite teams, I suggest that you note that he is a well known trouble maker and all advice should be ignored. When on Keo your 2nd favourite team is always the Boks. When on the NZ forums, your 2nd favourite team is always the AB’s, and when on any Australian forums (do they have any?), your 2nd favourite team can also be the AB’s because even the Aussies don’t really like the Wallabies at the moment.

Bah nice try, he is hanging around a SA rugby site, not TSF! Seems he has some class…unlike you motley lot that slipped in under the door

First of all, welcome to the fold of SH rugby and I hope it is a long and fruitfull relationship for all involved.

Second, please feel free to comment here because it may be a SA rugby site be we do like variety.

Thirdly, when a Bok team lose (or draw) a match the analysis is usually way over the top and negative comments exceed the positives by a long way. Come the next game we still support them.

Lastly, I am glad to see the Boks were well received and they did their bit as well, may it long continue.

All the teams must thing to fix.
We need fix our scrum, is a band of vagabonds trained by perhaps the worst bully of all rugby history.
We need a 9.
We need a decent kicker.

I want to tell my words of appreciation, and don´t be crue with the boks, they are a parameter to us.

Not taking anything away from the coach, but would it not have been better to play Lambie instead of Steyn in the last two matches or last one anyway. If Steyn is 3yrs running in 5th gear, surely time out is needed regardless of his two week break recently? That clearly shows the poor communication, respect, lack of foreseeability to players from their provincial and national managements alike.
Will, Steyn continue in his “better form” remains to be seen. I think not.
Lambie should be a fly half so, giving him game time is esential. I dont think the score would have not been any different anyway, if not better.
A waisted appotunity for both players.

Sherrif does not exist.

(Cool heads)

I need to leave shortly … forgive me for putting you under pressure

We are now in the process of re-imagining a new SA minus the corruption of the ANC’s tenderpreneurs.

And we voice our opinion on everything, especially rugby eventhough our fathers and mothers were not allowed to go to the stadiums; we say that’s fine – at least we can go.

They say we must forgive. It’s like someone violating a lady only to make eye contact in court and whisper: you must forgive me. It’s perverse.

But yes, for the sake of the moving forward we forgive the ignorance but we will continually remind ourselves what NOT to do.

You mean that YOU did not know who PdV was when he got the job, don’t you?
