@W.P-364: you are so provincially biast you are actually completely unaware that you are describing Andries Bekker while talking about Kruger. Do your self a favour go and check the stats Krugers workrate is far far higher than Bekkers. He was also the best 5 lock from SA in this years S15 tournament, but I guess someone like you would not know this because you only watch stormers games and not the rest to be able to actually make a true comment. Kruger played a fundamental role in the forwards charge against NZ so anybody who would like to point out that he is scared of the physical go watch the games again and then ou go watch the games Bekker played and then you will clearly see who's the p#ssy!

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-580: Nah, basket ball is just not popular with rugby fans as it is in my oppinion a lesser sport, but it is popular world wide with countries like russia, china, countries europe and south america playing it as well. It is one of the Olympic games competitions. But there are few superstars in sport history like Micheal Jordan, a player who dominated everybody he played against. His team the Chicago Bulls won the NBA like 7-9 times or something while he was there.

@lepel-576: just sayin one mans legend is another mans nobody. @goodstuff-577: ok thank you, i do not think many people would know anything about this guy. basketball is not a popular sport and probably only played in america by the looks of it.

@lepel-578: Now that I think about it, I do recall a venter popping up during that game this weekend. Etzebeth will be a rugby great if he stays clear of serious injuries and learnes from a senior player. We need Bakkies to teach this kid the ropes!

@goodstuff-575: Francois Venter is the only one in the current Bulls backline worth a damn. @mxhosa-570: I don't really agree with that. Etzebeth, Kolisi and Carr were the stars in that team. Francois Venter, the most hyped of the lot, was really average. Taute suffered because he got horrible ball, except for when Venter was skipped. Venter was doing crash-and-bash-no-brains rugby.

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-574: Do you not know who Magic Johnson is? He was a great basket ball player before Jordan became a star. Was an amazing passer of the ball.

@mxhosa-570: Like most things in life, it doesn't matter what happened before, but only what you do now that matters. Most of those players have become great players, Jordaan is white hot in terms of his form, Siya has become an exciting talent, Taute has come into his own, and who the hell is Froncios Venter? Just goes to show, doing well at u/20 doens't mean you will rock at senior level.

@nama1-439: Noticed the same thing, makes one wonder. Strange that over here M Steyn is not seen as a player without heart or a bad defender. He is solid in the basics much like Kirchner. But every team needs a reliable goal kicker and he has not been that lately. I would pick him in our team before Cooper - but then I would pick anyone before Cooper.

@Dawn-233: Sorry Dawn was done in a moment of anger against our rubbish ex Kiwi Cooper who should not get near any rugby Union team. He is just ****!

****** One change and the whole of SA feels like it is a new era. What we should take from the change is that HM didnt just put Morne on the bench which is what I thought he would have done with all he emotions attached, but he has smartly taken it a step further, and thought of the possiblity,
What happens if he comes on as a sub, and has a pressure kick and fails? What detrement would that cause on the guy? Brilliant questions. So to leave him out is the most logical solution and to do that with all the emotions of having that relationship at club rugby, takes serious but important gonadies decissions.
I think that shows tremendous strength from the coach and we might have a great in the making. Morne is not ****, He is a result of his club and national team abusing him for years, simply to save their own skins. No player can keep it up year on year and with these unprofessional organisations….! He has saved the Boks many a time, and letting him fight back for the position is as fair as it gets. Inform is key and who knows, what these next two kids will really be like, they could be poo for all we know. Time will tell. A true decision on them cant be until next yr at test level, so from the next two games question marks should still remain.

I am not sure on the lock change as the other 2 did tremendous, a second outing together would help their solidarity. Bekker doesnt do it for me. Something there i need to put my finger on. But maybe being injury prone, it may be better to replace such a player than to use as a replacement. That Rrrrussian fella whats his name ,”Eben…ptttth…Etzebeth” .He so far didnt seem match fit.

It appears Lambie has been given the cold shoulder, like so many others hyped by the media so such heights, the only way is crash, tumbling down. A very sad story. Who really knows, Jantjies might be the quota player that has excluded Lambie from playing on Sat thanks to some recent racial political **** from our belovered polititions and their puppet. Lets all hope not and its all merit.
Lambie is still a child he can hang around SA for another year, then as people have mentioned, leggit where the dosh is. The whole Michalak scenario seems to have messed Lambies chances no doubt. Another beautiful reason why i think a Zero tolorance for teams should be implemented. The Sharks club can pat themselves on the back for this, sticking the chap at fullback certainly didnt help Little Lamb Chops chances.

But the strongest message is certainly the dropping of Steyn. Thee old boys neeed this wake up call, Jon Smit and Co got far too comfortable which should never have happened. Hungry young players do set standards.
As Magic Jonhson once said while preparing for the “Dream Team” @ 92 Olympics, ” theres a new kid on the block” admitting that Jordan had supassed him. God bless that man… A true Ledgend

@RL-481:

Goosen and Jantjies were hardly superstars at u20 level… They were both average in piss poor baby bok teams.

Goosen’s team included:

Jaco Taute (who got bumbed by the English midget en route to the winning try)
Paul Jordaan (who dropped the ball in the last move of the match)
Francois Venter (the star of the show)
Arno Botha
Siya Kolisi
Nizaam Carr
Eben Etsebeth
one of the Marais at the Sharks

@grant10-566: I'm happy for you Grant,Meyer has been a little slow on the uptake with his player selections and is starting to find his feet. I think playing at Loftus has given him that security he needed to make the necessary adjustments to his starting 15. Yes exciting times for you and BOK supporters.

@Te Rangatira-564: I reckon Heyneke is getting it right slowy but surely….I am still not convinced at 9….13….

We will be helleva strong when Bissy [ future captain I reckon ] is back as well….throw in JP Pietersen as well……

Goosen will never be a M Steyn clone…..not in his DNA…..

Exciting times ….I am enthusiastic for the first time since 2010 about Boks….and it really is a relief…

@grant10-561: I think you are right, all the ingredients in terms of players is beginning to come together, now just have to see what method of cooking Meyer will use to produce the complete dish.
