Jantjies back with Boks
23 Sep 2012
Four players have been called up to the Springbok squad of 30 for their final two Tests of the Rugby Championship.
They are the uncapped Golden Lions duo of utility back Jaco Taute and flyhalf Elton Jantjies, their experienced provincial team-mate, prop CJ van der Linde, and Cheetahs prop Coenie Oosthuizen.
‘I’d always wanted to include Jaco in the squad but an untimely injury meant we could not select him earlier. Jaco is big, strong, fast and versatile and it will be good to get him involved,’ said Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer.
‘Elton was part of the squad before this season, against England in June and in the first part of the Rugby Championship. He only missed out when we had to cut the numbers of the squad and it’s good to have him back.
‘CJ, who took part in our training camps earlier in the season, brings a lot of experience to our pack and he is no longer injured. Apart from being the second most experienced prop in Springbok history, after Os du Randt, he is versatile and can play loosehead and tighthead.
‘And it’s great to have Coenie back with us after he picked up an injury on debut in the first test against England in June. He is a world class prop and losing him was a big setback.’
Meyer added only two scrumhalves had been selected for the Tests, which meant Jano Vermaak misses out. The national selectors felt that Vermaak is familiar with the game plan and can easily be brought back in should his services be required.
Springbok squad – Willem Alberts, Andries Bekker, Craig Burden, Pat Cilliers, Marcell Coetzee, Juan de Jongh, Jean de Villiers (c), Jannie du Plessis, Eben Etzebeth, Johan Goosen, Bryan Habana, Francois Hougaard, Elton Jantjies, Zane Kirchner, Juandré Kruger, Pat Lambie, Tiaan Liebenberg, Francois Louw, Tendai Mtawarira, Lwazi Mvovo, Coenie Oosthuizen, Ruan Pienaar, Jacques Potgieter, Frans Steyn, Morné Steyn, Adriaan Strauss, Jaco Taute, CJ van der Linde, Flip van der Merwe, Duane Vermeulen.

you lot lost against the kak blues & were wiped out by the saders in the quarters & morne was putrid for all to see but hey meyer wanted us to believe that HE could “coach him back to form” well how did that go?
when he landed back from nz he had to swallow hard & offer excuses about “mental breaks” but still you’d rather we swallow the nonsense whole hehehe

@Blitzbok-206: Let it all out young man.. but there is no guarantee that it will make you grow a brain cell to add to the other one..
How’s them toe nails?? Have a chew
23 Sep 2012, 14:55 pm
Still don’t understand the exclusion of Brussow, and I will struggle to support the Boks in his absence.
23 Sep 2012, 14:56 pm
@Brigadier Van Zyl-197: 2-0 was not good enough.
Any thoughts on how Morne is playing at current, Brig?
23 Sep 2012, 14:57 pm

@youknowwho-208: fk you and worry about those knuckles you drag along seven feet behind you.
23 Sep 2012, 15:05 pm
@willievz-209: no, we can’t have that! we support the bojs regardless of who the coach is or what his selections are.
23 Sep 2012, 15:10 pm
@Blitzbok-213: with morons like this supporting the boks they deserve to lose their holy cow little razzmatazz badge .. its only by some magnanimous decision by the country’s presidency that allowed these Boks to retain their identity.. by the way arseholes like this carry on they may as well get culled into the extinction they deserve. With Meyer leading the charge into obscurity.
23 Sep 2012, 15:15 pm
CJ is kak!!!!
absolute rubbish and played way too many tests for my likening. He has never being a dominating scrummaging. Only there because he can play both sides and the number of tests beside his name.
absolute rubbish
23 Sep 2012, 15:15 pm
HM can pick as many new players as he pleases, the question is whether he will choose the RIGHT ones for the starting XV, as well as picking the right players for the bench. We MUST win these two remaining Championship games.
23 Sep 2012, 15:16 pm
we have not seen the best of Jacques Potgieter,
23 Sep 2012, 15:19 pm
@Blitzbok-213: I think my work is done here… thanks

221 pretty conclusive stuff, black then daylight most years.
23 Sep 2012, 15:51 pm
@Transformation-214: Yes but it is a farce, we can be so much better if not for the arrogance of the people running the show.
I cannot accept forced mediocrity.
23 Sep 2012, 15:59 pm
Still missing Brussow, Deon Fourie and Elstadt.
23 Sep 2012, 16:24 pm
Why didn’t the SA team of 09 have a much bigger lead in the rankings like NZ do when we have a good year,makes you wonder.
23 Sep 2012, 16:50 pm
Time and time again our friend Skopskiet has proven to be very selective and unreliable – perhaps devious – with the stats he chooses to display.
His stats need to be scrutinised as they are often very misleading.
He cannot be trusted to provide an objective account.
For example:
IRB rank Sep. 2007 White
1(1) NEW ZEALAND 93.37
2(2) AUSTRALIA 87.00
3(3) FRANCE 86.83
4(4) SOUTH AFRICA 85.36
5(5) IRELAND 80.99
6(6) ARGENTINA 80.71
7(7) ENGLAND 78.83
Skopskiet, could you please post the same stat 20 days later as at 20 October 2007, the day SA won the RWC?….
I think you will find 20 days made a huge difference.
Thank you (p.s. I will be watching you and your stats).
23 Sep 2012, 16:56 pm
Would be my run on 22 to face the Aussies…..

“The gag reflex” dedicated to Blitzbok and the Keo team:
It all starts with a thought (Goosen), leading to an uncontrollable and sometimes unjustified throb in the pants.
The giver (black & dragging 7 feet of cut meat) in the presence of the receiver (Blitzbok), gently teases the outer walls of the lips with the head anxious to put it all in the mouth.
Now its important that all 7 feet of the meat be thoroughly lubricated (justified) so as to allow easy entry. The meat should then pass the length of the tongue with the receiver’s head tilted @ a slight angle. At which point it will collide with a shut throat, or larynx.
Proper and regular exercise can enhance the receivers ability to manipulate how deep the meat travels down the throat without engaging what is known as the “gag reflex”.
You see sometimes a throb is so strong that you can’t help but want to shove it down the throat of a ‘willing’ receiver. I have a very active gag reflex and am ‘unwilling’ to take any dry, uncut **** concerning Goosen. Let him do something first!!! For 80 minutes then by all means, tickle my tonsils.
Oh ya, and Blitzbok can eat a 7 foot d***
23 Sep 2012, 17:51 pm
The winning ratio of the Boks since their first test in1891 is 65%. The All blacks is 76%. So if you did not know the Blacks are consistenly the best in the world since 2 centuries ago. If you don’t belive check out today’s Sunday Times.

@Peter Mkata-230: are you from one of the Eastern Cape South African Maori tribes?
23 Sep 2012, 17:56 pm
@youknowwho-141: I wasn’t justifying meyer’s selection, merely offering potential reasoning. My own view is that the SA team would be better served at this point going with a different flyhalf and possibly a more creative coach.
23 Sep 2012, 18:03 pm
@Liewe Luiperd-231:
Maori? Me? Mxhosa ongangxengwanga gwangqa ndini?
Just highlighting the fact that the Boks have consistently won two-thirds of their games. PDV, Jake White etc were on par except for the chosen one who so far is below average!! LOL.
23 Sep 2012, 18:16 pm

Biggy your team will drop to #4 in test rankings before the end of the year.
