First time I have ever seen all the Springboks supporters upset about a selected Springboks team...

That should tell you something

I reckon Nienaber knows his time is up.....

Grandpa beat me to it, but Kwagga Smith at blindside is an interesting move. Are the Springboks playing away from their traditional strength? Will he and Kilosi play left and right or perhaps will Kilosi play on the blinside but retain his no.6 jersey? Interesting move regardless. Lood de Jager wil...

Springbok team to face New Zealand in Townsville: 15 – Willie le Roux (Toyota Verblitz) – 68 caps, 60 pts (12t) 14 – Sbu Nkosi (Cell C Sharks) – 14 caps, 40 pts (8t) 13 – Lukhanyo Am (Cell C Sharks) – 21 caps, 25 pts (5t) 12 – Damian de Allende (Munster) – 53 caps, 30 pts (6t) 11 – Makazole Mapimpi...

If I was Bok Coach I'd pick the following 1. Nche 2. Mbonambi 3. Du Toit 4. Etzebeth 5. De Jager 6. Kolisi 7. Van Staden 8. Vermeulen 9. De Klerk 10. Pollard 11. Mapimpi 12. DDA 13. Kriel 14.

Thankfully we have Thomas back for the URC.... wish they would release some more players . Once the team is announced . I am just not getting it.... Nche had a great combo going with Bongi and Trevor. All mobile forwards and great maulers. I would start them . Play them till they drop. Then substit...

All this talk about the Boks has me worried they're flying under the radar. Feels primed for an ambush. The Mains stuff is nonsense from someone whos understanding of rugby coaching hasn't been relevant since the 70s. Two off games doesn't suddenly make them a bad team, and as someone else pointed ...

Sards

Anyway, Jasper Wiese cited for his 78th minute cleanout on Kerevi. I think the ref bottled that decision just to see out the two minutes and exit the stage. Wiese was supposed to be the coaches left field pick for the future....us supporters are wondering how he got there before players like Marcel...

Sards

Jasper Wiese has been cited for bashing an Aussie in the last test. No surprise there, was a red all day long. Finally Wiese has done something worthy of a post match mention. The coaches are vindicated in his continual selection. They saw something we haven't. Any news on the Vincent Koch incident

Sards

In the last 4 tests the Bok 10.12 and 13s didn't beat a single defender and made only one clean break. In the Bok setup the 12 and 13 are defenders Rubbish. I do remember some carries by De Allende but not a single line-break. Hell. Watching rugby with kids in the house is not easy so I miss a lot

Sards

Missed that but ref /TMO waste 10mins on dIscussing how they can send Swinton off. Usual saffa thuggery but whats to stop them? Banks broke his arm in a high shot on Kolisi's head. Fainga'a made another 2 chop tackles to go with his 3 from last week including a yellow card. Usual Oz thuggery and fo...

Am probably. Kiwis call #13 centre Bit surprised by Mains there, I think Am has shown himself to be a quality centre, certainly one of the better Saffa centres for quite some time. I suppose from a Kiwi point of view a midfielder who doesn't attack is a bit of a waste In the last 4 tests the Bok 10...

Just been looking at the Rugby Championship table, and the ramifications for winning the silverware.

These have been the results since Rassie revived that kind of game plan - 2018 in Wellington - Boks win a close one 2018 in Pretoria - ABs win a close one 2019 in Wellington again - a draw 2019 at the RWC - the ABs win a relatively close one This AB side is significantly less experienced than the o...

I was watching the highlights of the Wobs v Bok game, Damian De Allende would have to be the slowest centre I have seen in some time. He’d struggle to match some of the AB forwards for pace. Your front row , 2nd row and loosies are full of pace ( as much pace as a fatty can have ) and skill.....Our...

Mains’ swipe at the Springboks comes following their two straight Test defeats by the Wallabies in Gold Coast and Brisbane, respectively. “I think there’s four or five players in that team that simply are not up to Test level, and I think you’ll see that the All Blacks’ three-quarters will run riot...

If we think SA of the 2019 World Cup final vintage can win on Saturday... then I see no reason in a one-off test why SA can't win on Saturday playing set-piece rugby and frustrating the hell out of NZ... I still think NZ will win, but it's not a forgone conclusion... SA are always a different beast...

Sards

Only slightly related, but is there still no better metric for measuring kicking ability than successful kick %? It doesn't take into account that teams like the Boks who often score from mauls, score their tries in wide positions so the kick is harder. Handre isn't playing well at the moment, but ...

This is going to be a tough one. The Boks looked jaded and confused yesterday and their play-by-numbers game wasn't working and when they tried to change it up it wasn't working either. And that was in the first half that I watched, the second half apparently was worse Ideally the "A team" should h...

Outstanding. There is just a different type of rugby tradition in the south compared to the north.

Not sure who I am supporting here....but that's the nature of the rivalry I missed against both sides.

They did so well with Ackermann...that was the turning point when he left.

Hate is a strong word. I don't like the style of rugby Rassie employed. He did say at the function when he took over as coach that he intended to bully rugby nation's with big and powerful players. I didn't expect another 4 years of Jake. You were gushing about it at the time. I was....admittedly.....
