    Boks to win by 10 points in Perth. Now let’s see who knows this game better – me or the little bloke in the hoodie.

    Proudly showing off his newly-leased downtown Pretoria apartment to a couple of friends late one night after a rugby game, drunk Dave led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong hanging on the wall.

    ‘What’s that big brass gong for?’ one of the friends asked.

    ‘Issss nod a gong. Issss a talking Australian clock,’ Dave drunkenly replied.

    ‘A talking Australian clock – seriously?

    ‘Yup.’ ‘Hmmm (hic).’

    ‘How’s it work?’ the second friend asked, squinting at it.

    ‘Just watch,’ he said.

    He picked up a hammer, gave the gong an ear-shattering bash and stepped back.

    His three mates stood looking at one another for a moment in astounded silence.

    Suddenly, an Australian voice from the other side of the wall screamed, ‘For fck’s sake, you stupid idiot. It’s ten past three in the morning!’

    In a nutshell Heyneke has wasted this tournament by fielding too many of the wrong players or right players in the wrong positions against England and Arg so far this year. Any result in the next two matches is not a fair reflection of our team on paper as they have not had proper game time to work on their combinations.
    Come the end of year tour Heyneke will give this team shape with consistant sellection based on what he’s learnt thus far however the whole rugby championship has been wasted in respect to fielding the best boks side possible to see just what we can do.
    Next year will be a completely different kettel of fish, even if we lose by 15 tomorrow and 30 next weekend

    @outrightrugby-6: the all blacks are fielding some rookies in their team tomorrow, can we expect them to draw with the argies too?

    “Next year will be a completely different kettel of fish, even if we lose by 15 tomorrow and 30 next weekend”

    Exactly! Then the losing habit will be worse and we will be looking for positives out of losing.

    @Transformation-8:

    Transie the mind boggles how we need to give the coach time with a new team, yet the AB’s also field new players and win consistently. Losing is ok as long as we don’t lose by too much.

    Maybe Meyer must go ask Plumtree about a rugby blueprint…..

    Or even the Griqua coach…..

    Amazes me that the Sharks can play rugby from heaven and then the Boks cant even make more than 2 offloads in a game….

    The odds are 3:2 against the Boks to win at Perth, probably because the odds makers believe the referee Nigel Owen will not be as helpful as were Steve Walsh an Alain Rolland the previous 5 tests.
    Nevertheless it is worth take a chance on the Boks for the following reasons:
    The Wallabies are plain bad, loss of Moore made them even weaker up front.
    With Pienaar, on the field, Louw and Lambie off the bench with Morne Styen shifts to 15 it would not be a bad Boks team, so it’s entirely up to HM call.
    Boks by 5 to 8

    @mikeybrass-13:

    So what you are saying is that we need to employ an NZ coach who won’t coach the natural skills out of the players. Nothing has changed since PdV. Things have got worse in my opinion. When there is only one plan and we just need to perfect it, then we are in serious trouble. Why do we bother complaining if things are not going to change and we accept that NZ are way better than us…

    Our skill levels are not that bad….go ask the u 20 WC winning Bok team….

    We are , however, top of the world at making excuses….

    and of being petrified of innovation….

    and of being conservative

    and , sadly , of being quite dom as well….

    He almost fell off his booster seat the other day when little Gareth told him it was his turn to make coffee.

    @grant10-14: Meyer knows how to do it – he was in overall charge of Ludeke in 2010 when the Bulls played scintillating rugby. He needs to unshackle himself.

    @grant10-20: Our skills levels are not consistently good across the board. There’s a reason why Rassie was brought in to co-ordinate and get a uniform level of standard and consistency. Fact – we have had endless coaches from Alan Solomons to Mallett tell us this and we refuse to acknowledge the reality. That’s the key, which will enable Meyer to feel free enough to unleash the shackles and get rid of the older players as the new ones start coming through.

    we have skilful ball players like Jantjes and Lambie…..we choose the 1 dimensional deep in the pocket skop en hoop artist M Steyn

    we have fleet footed Stepper extroadinairre JDJ….se choose JDV nogal out of position…

    We have the elusive and explosive Aplon…..we choose the up n under der in die hemel Kirchner…..

    Then we say skill levels are to blame?

    No man….we our own worst conservative petrified stuck in the mud enemies…..

    We got the skills

    we got the players…

    we just too damn dom to choose them

    @grant10-14: you can’t make offloads if 1. you’re gang tackled because your whole play was signaled and anticipated 2. once you’re gang tackled your ball carriage is compromised & people are attempting to prise of it…

    your only choice is to go to ground and hope the cavalry comes through…

    @mikeybrass-33:
    i disagree.
    i think it’s precisely because meyer was shackled in himself in the first instance that led to the bulls eventually playing the most scintillating rugby thats ever been played in the history of super rugby.

    he had a system and he had a plan and when that plan came together the nation loved it.

    now he is with the boks

    he has a system and he has a plan… when that plan comes together….

    The bench split of 4:3 to accommodate Mvovo will hurt, while Kruger is an upgrade over Bekker, he doesn’t support the breakdown enough, while Flip v. d. Merwe contributes little, having Deysel or Elstadt as the 5th forward on the bench would have been a tremendous boost.
    It may work this week but not the next one.
