What makes it so difficult to teach a Springbok rugby player to offload in the tackle or to spot a gap?
****, these guys probably count under the 100 top rugby players in the world.

Or is it more difficult to change the bulldoze and place the ball mindset. Something that just takes over when a player receives the ball?

@Finfan-154: Bud - that would actually have been an awesome team! Maybe Elton at 10 - that would have been very interesting to see. Like Lambie at 12, Taute at 15. Even de Jongh at 11 makes sense. I would have loved to see those combos

@capebull-161: Well it’s a pity he is going to spend most of the next 3 years sitting on the bench for the Bulls Spies gets to be your captain and 8th man until 2015…..Arno, well bless his little heart, he will have to move somewhere else to get gametime, won’t he?

He won’t even make the Bok squad next year, if he spends the whole S15 sitting on the bench or playing 15 minute cameos out of position. (And don’t come with this sh yte about if ‘Spies is injured’ – he was injured now, he will never be injured again. Spies will also not be rotated…..)

What are the Bulls going to do?

@capebull-157: I would still have Vermeulen (prop) in team than missing in action Britney any day of the week... Spies may be fast, but he runs away from action...

I see that the Scottish ******** have stated the following:

”We’ve beaten both teams (South Africa and Tonga) before and I’m sure we will do again.”
we need to destroy them so badly that they decide to stop playing rugby.

Now this, boys, makes me furious.
For the Scottish to even think that they have a chance is not a good sign.

I hope we put 50 past ‘em

@Brads-150: Well said Brads.

Well it makes sense I suppose – the management seem to think that any kind of chip ‘n chase, up and under ‘n chase, or grubber ‘n chase is the way they want to play…….

Sigh… this is why Meyer always says there’s nothing wrong with the game plan, it is the execution that is at fault.

In laymans terms: when we skop the ball we are not good enough at getting it back again……

Here’s a thought Heyneke; why not KEEP the ball. I know its a novel idea, but having worked so hard to secure the ball we then think its intelligent to kick it away with the sole purpose of getting it back again.

Not only is this strategy stoopid, it is also about as exciting as watching a weed grow…..

“‘There have been some massive moments in our game development, with Bryan Habana’s try in Soweto being a prime example of where we want to go with our game. ”

I agree that was a great try but it did involve bobbled ball which was touched on the fly by McCaw and possibly another AB, so it’s execution was far from clinical.

Also the final pass to Habana was well forward which I assume Meyer will want to work on that as well.

So as good as the try was, it was hardly what I would single out as THE “where we want to go with our game” moment.
