Taute will “understudy” Zane @ Loftus.

Hahahaha

That actually makes a lot of sense as I can't see him being part of the 22 and if he's not part of the 22 why is he being taken away from the Lions?

HM is just very sinister and can't be trusted

I sure hope that I’m wrong but I can’t help thinking that this whole business of “selecting” him for the Springbok team is in an attempt to stop the rampant Lions from running away with the Currie Cup; that just wouldn’t look good for SA Rugby, would it now?

Elton has been playing so well & I really do feel for the kid at the moment.

He did well to run the Bulls to two superrugby titles, with them being the top try scorers each time (Frans Ludeke was the coach by the way, not Meyer as some dellusional Bulls fans seem to think), or our u21′s to a WC in 2005. No boet, the problem with MS is HM… Meyer is doing him no favour either by keeping him in the team when he’s clearly outta form.

Instead of being remembered as the man who starred in SA’s win over the Lions, the pivot who was part of the team that holds the record score in a superrugby final, or the only FH to have beaten the ABs three times since readmission… He will be remembered for the kak he’s delivered in 2012, thanks to Meyer.

Funny though.

Which is really the most important thing…

they will each get a shot at credible but still beatable opposition and we’ll take it from there.

morne will be with us for many years so its a question of organising the hierarchy pyramid, that’s all.

at last, a non-emotional blogger who sees the picture clearly.

hm needs only one thing from his flyhalf – the ability to kick accurately – be it an upnunder, touch or goal kick.

hm does not need sleight of hand, shimmies or any such quade cooperish razzle-dazzle.

all he wants is field position.

Let him implode in his own stupor why drag some decent promising rugby careers down with his dumb deluded deficiencies? He’s already compromised many quality players and fckd their potential up hopelessly in his penchant for his one dimensional delusional idiocy killing off their game eg. Hougaard, why risk any more?

Let Meyer lose the next 2 games and move the fck on before bok legacy gets ruined further than it already has. C’mon Aussie do it one more time for your bitter desperate foe, AB’s should wrap it all up a week later in Soweto and this goddamn regression nightmare will be verby.

FFS it’s not like morne steyn is lionel messi or kobe bryant or peyton manning!

there’s only one thing he does well and it is to kick, msteyn admitted LAST year already that the rest of his game is s.hit but the bulls and boks play a kicking so he’s not that worried about varying his play!

HM does know once he includes Jantjies it will be impossible to drop him, it means he will have to play him against the All Blacks too, based on Jantjies standards as displayed at the Super Rugby level that would be detrimental to HM’s survival.
Simple?
