Comments on: Boks to seize Loftus lifeline http://keo.co.za/2012/09/24/boks-to-seize-loftus-lifeline/ An independent look at South African rugby Tue, 21 May 2013 08:09:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Sasuke http://keo.co.za/2012/09/24/boks-to-seize-loftus-lifeline/#comment-2234473 Sasuke Tue, 25 Sep 2012 06:25:36 +0000 http://keo.co.za/?p=108512#comment-2234473 “and is better than the Peter de Villiers-driven side of 2008 that won just two out of six.”

Yes but one of those was a win in New Zealand at the House of Pain.
Not even the legendary Jake White could win in NZ.

Dont go putting PDV down like that.

I saw on News24 this morning that Goosen is due to start and I was soo happy

HM must go if he carries on like this showing blatant loyalty when Leadership is required!

Fark him man

Agree, we will start Monnas in both tests.

Meyer’s Mob will surely be The Walkind Dead come October?

Always good to mess with the minds of the limited on any vacation day. Cheers I am off to the races..

It won’t be pretty but they will win. Then he will play Morn’e against the All Blacks and they will lose.

There will be small movements later once the Test teams’ announce, not by much though.
With Alain Rolland the referee, the Test is in HM’s bag, Rolland can retire comfortably now with all the dough he scooped since 2009 :)

The closest players we have had since were Butch James (at the WC ’97 only) and Joel Stransky. Henry Honnibal was a different type of player. This misunderstanding is the root malise of much of what is wrong with coaching in the country.

Zibi’s win record is kak and the 2 draws he salvaged were lucky ones, against nit the greatest opposition.

Don’t come with kak like we “almost” beat NZ – we didn’t. The stupid gameplan and players trying to execute it may win one every so often, but that doesn’t make it the “right” gameplan.

Your messiah is obtuse and a bloody slow learner…..it must be hard to look outside the laager.

very well said, mikey.. very well said.

ja nee, egnatius was a supremely professional flyhalf in an amature era bar none.
stories of him practising for two hours before and two hours after team practise are legendary and in 28 tests he only lost 9.

dont get me started on his records at the bulls.

Perhaps he will break his pinky like Spies did… 8 weeks out during the international window just might do the trick…

On Supersport an article mentioned that HM just might stick with MS because he’s comfortable etc at Loftus…

Even if he does succeeds and is accurate with the boot and we end up winning the game, it doesnt solve the long term problem…

Goosen cant be the only answer.. if he gets injured will HM take 10 steps back by selecting Steyn again? Who will play 10 at EOTYT if Goosen gets injured?

Its time to make space for a new number 1 and 2 flyhalf and start to give them the same support, encouragement and guidance Steyn is receiving… Steyn should be a last resort… HM should start to realize this.

Jantjies has a great boot, tactically and for goal. He’s a better attacking player and spreads the ball well… Lambie the same, but probably behind in the kicking department…And they are good defenders. And obviously Goosen is the future. All 3 better options.

So why persist with Steyn?
Even with MS we should be able to beat the Aussies at home. That being said we can beat them with Goosen, Jantjies and Lambie.
