Meanwhile McCaw’s led Blacks have done reasonably well with >90% win ratio during the last six-and-a-half years – and that’s playing mostly the very best from both hemispheres. So keeping in mind high class of their opposition and such a huge success rate, IMHO, they have earned the right to be named as one of the finests ever. I am voicing that opinion without any kind of arrogance.

We all know that they are the best at the moment, and have been for the past few years but they are NOT UNBEATABLE, my friend.

I’m sure even you can admit that.

Personally, I wonder why the best wing in the history of Bok rugby has to move to right wing to accommodate a scrum half at left wing.

I responded to this comment by Viewer with the following:

@viewer-52:
“It’s so fukking irritating to read that a player is a quota just because he is Colored/Black.

Vokkit man, some these players from Pretoria are the epitome of what a quota actually is, yet they are not called that because of their skin color.”

So, if you read his comment and then my response on it, how did YOU come to the conclusion that we were discussing “QUOTAS IN GENERAL”

Hou op laat jy kan end kry. Jy’t nog net kak gepraat.

Se maar vir ons dat jy elke donker speler as ‘n “KWOTA” speler beskou, ongeage of hy die beste in sy posisie is of nie.

And then came here to vent his frustrations.

Nice.

The AB’s won’t make the mistake they made in the first half in Dunedin, trying to play too much rugby in our own half. Once we changed tactics in the second half we gave away less kickball penalties and were under less pressure, and it was quite a comfortable second half for us.

Plus Dan carter is a much better reader of the game than cruden, and can be expected to make better calls in the first half rather than wait for to be told what to do by the coach atbhalf time.

Having said all that, I still think the boks are more likely to win the game than us. We often don’t play well when the silverware is already in the cupboard, and I think the bok resolve to win will be stronger than ours. There are very small margins between the boks and us (when we both put out our strongest available teams), and I think the home advantage and stronger resolve will see the boks home.

No shame for the AB’s, it’s been a great season.

Personally I would rather have Mvovo, Aplon or Taute at wing instead of Hougi

This proves he is a scrum half but on form he is behind Pienaar and would be great once the game opens up off the subs bench.

This week I would like to see Elton and Lambie on earlier aswell as De Jongh in the centre.

Wonder if Flip will have a good game, I used to rate him then he became a penalty machine and tried to be Bakkies but now hes playing intelligent rugby and still smashing rucks and dominating tackles.

Woulf have played De Jongh at 13, Taute at 11, Lambie at fullback leaving the bench as 20 Francois Hougaard 21 Elton Jantjes 22 Lwazi Mvovo / Zane Kircher (Bring back Aplon)

The pack looks physical enough to take on the All Blacks. Perhaps Coebie is there as impact sub but I woulnt have risked him and instead played Cilliers who has done a good job.

So there absolutely nothing to be afraid of or in awe of of the big bad AB’s.. what Boks should do is simply be the best they can be to themselves and not try out psyche or out wishfully think their opposition.. or God.. just do their best and leave all the rest to providence.

i’m not scared of them!

but the reality of the situation is everything that ever was going to occur has already happened.. unbeknown to you.. so the best you can do is shelve all your wishful thinking and face facts square in the face that whatever is about to happen will happen whether you want it to or not.. that is the REALITY of what exists.. not what you wishfully dream it may ever be. Best you or anyone can do is your best.. and forget about playing wishful thinking god in your wishful imaginations..
