@Transformation-607: If Ihad to choose a backline coach from SA for the Boks, I would immediately go for Hawies Fourie from the Cheetahs. I just don't know if he would fit into HM's master plan, although HM combined pretty well with the Ozzie back line coach when the Bulls first won the S14

Good call HM, so you not that doff after all, now all you need to do is get rid of Kirschner and it’s looking much better!

Louw, Alberts and Coetzee should make up a usefull loose trio with Vermuelen in the mix when fit. (Fitter)

I hope Goosen is fully fit, last thing we need is sending blokes into battle half cooked.

I’d rather risk Vermuelen and Goosen than have another game with those slithering Potgieter and Steyn creatures lumbering lethargically around the field.

@victoriabok-652: ja, just too much emotion in that little word. Seriously though, Smith has ended the career of three English captains in a decade. How soft are these guys? Cheers

@kwas-650: Maybe he couldn't stand it when he finally realized what a "doos" is?

Old news by now no doubt but just read that Andrew Strauss has resigned/retired from test cricket. Is this not the 3rd time an England captain has been battered into early retirement by Graemme Smith?

yip Strauss is a very hard tackler.. one of those no nonsense true grit type players.. would teach Spies plenty about tackling, maybe they should convert him to flank

anyway out now.. g.night

@fitz1ella-647: He tackles hard though, he should teach Spies how to and charge money for it

Yes I wanted to place JJ at 11 but I reckon Rhule should go straight up to start so Engelbrecht either start at 13 or 14 ahead of Jordaan or go to bench.

Sadie might still make a come back when he goes to Cheetahs

Cheetahs back line going to look like this

Pretorius / Van Zyl, Goosen, Rhule, Strauss, Ebersohn, Sadie, Smit / Le Roux

Not too shabby.. could also smack the bok back line for six. Only one not top class is Strauss at 12.

@fitz1ella-643: What about JJ Engelbrecht?

@fitz1ella-644: He is, he's still hungry for it, like a young boxer, a contender for the title. Habana hasn't been hungry for a while, if you don't want it, you won't get it

By: fitz1ella

fitz1ella — Wed, 29 Aug 2012 21:27:46 +0000

yip that Volminck looks a promising player but Rhule look like he could step right up to the big time tomorrow. I reckon he’s almost already better than both Habana and Mvovo

my new Bok backline looks like this

A. Coetsee
P. Jordaan
J. Serfontein
J. de Jongh
R. Rhule
J. Goosen
F. Hougaard

I bet they would smack the current Boks out the park for a six.

A. Coetsee
S. Sithole
P. Jordaan
J. Serfontein
R. Rhule
J. Goosen
F. Hougaard

@pat1-639: Rhule's got the x-factor, he lives to score tries

@fitz1ella-632: > or that AB wing Guildford who’s not nearly as promising as young Coetsee. Nah, nothing wrong with Zac,tons of talent and speed Have you ever played a test with a hangover?:-)

@Transformation-634: How good has he been in a Lions team who has Deon Van Rensburg as a winger...

@fitz1ella-632: Another youngster you should look out for is Volmink for the Lions who plays on the left wing - hasnt set the CC alight just yet but is very quick, good hands, and good footwork. Rhule looks to be very promising also. Just hope we get some more backline coaches like Hawies Fourie to alllow these guys to fulfil their potential.

@Transformation-634: You know my take on fullbacks in an SA context - I prefer a big booted, kicking 10. But this kid is too special to be ignored. You find a way to accommodate him. Even if you need to pick new wingers.
