    It does explain the non inclusion of certain players, who played in other positions, during HM’s tenure as coach to a certain degree.
    Like who?

    330 @ Nama:
    80+ is pretty good defensively, Paige adds more though, so I would definitely select him over Groom, When a guy start tackling at a -70% success rate he better either add an effective kicking game or attack, Faf also does not have an international standard kicking game Paige is much closer to…

    Anyway do you honestly think that Faf or Paige would have gotten any game time? They were the form scrumhalves this year, though Paige faded towards the end, because of shockingly terrible tactics by the Bulls, Paige’s inclusion is by know means shocking or “luck” that is pretty much for other players like Oupa, Lood, JPP and maybe even Reinach.

    @ Pietman:
    Ons maak dit moeilik vir onsself. Soos Ango hierbo noem, lyk dit vir hom asof ‘n posisie soos loskop gereserveer is vir swart spelers. Nou, voeg daarby vleuel en miskien nog heelagter dan sit jy met ‘n probleem dat jy op enige gegewe dag ‘n maksimum van 4 swart spelers kan kies.

    Maak die ding oop op die laer vlakke sodat die nasionale afrigter nie beperk word tot net sekere posisies vir swart spelers nie. Provinsiale afrigters veral moet wegbeweeg van die vleuel gedagte. Dit sal dinge makliker maak vir nasionale afrigter om ‘n verteenwoordigende span op meriete te kies.

    Bangladesh crushes the Proteas, scoring the winning runs in just 27.4 overs to win by 7 wickets.

    JdJ in 2013/14 op buitesenter.
    Jantjies op losskakel toe hy strate beter as Morne was.

    @ Nama:
    Ons sal dus nou met valkoe dophou om te sien hoe Mapoe op buitesenter behandel word. Dit sal absoluut niks bewys as hy byvoorbeeld vleuel toe geskuif word om hom vir sy goeie vorm die jaar te beloon nie behalwe om te bevestig dat sekere posisies we gereserveer word. Met ‘n “maksimum getal” wat daarmee gepaard gaan.

    Who said you may not voice your opinion (including all the invective you so liberally splurt out late at night)?

    As regards political interference and its consequences, whether intended or not, politics is the art of the possible:
    If then a coach (i.e. any SA coach, not just HM) is forced to execute political directives & to apply race quotas in rugby, it stands to reason he will first select black players in positions where black players feature strongest. Loosehead prop is one of those positions. He will also select white players feature strongest.

    Two things, Nama:
    1. Is the Beast still the best loosehead in SA?
    2. Give us your Bok XV merit selection without any consideration of race; give us your Bok merit selection opinion.
    Thx

    JDJ in 2014, in 2013 was het hy net soos hierdie jaar gespeel, nie goed genoeg nie, Jantjies het mos in 2012 gespeel, 2013 was hy nerens nie en verlede jaar het hy gesukkel om sy eie span te haal… die jaar was hy goed, maar morne het ook die jaar n helse groot trofee saam sy span gewen.

    Paige is “lucky” that FdP is not available yet. Wink

    @ Nama:
    Mapoe het dan vlueel ook gespeel die jaar, een van die groot voordele van Mapoe is dat hy kan vlueel ook speel. So sal dit werklik so groot skok wees?

    Whitely is ook lucky hy kan begin sonder Vermeulen daar.

    @334 Daai is die storie, ons praat dit mos al lank, van Morne PisMier se dae af.

    Ek sal Mapoe verkies op vlueel bo Cornal en JPP.

    Nama on 12 July 2015 at 5:40 pm

    345 @ MacroPolo:
    Om plek te maak vir Jesse Kriel/Janneman op 13?

    Dis presies waarvan ek praat.

    HIERDIE span wil ek graag sien!
    Wait for it…..

    @ Nama:
    Nee ek dink net hy speel beter as hulle, hulle verdien glad nie om in die bok groep te wees nie, selfs Mvovu op “form”.

    This is pretty funny, Rugby365

    3 Carl Hayman
    Solid at scrum time and gave Jannie du Plessis a few headaches.
    6/10

    1 Gurthrö Steenkamp
    Proved to be a good test for Tendai Mtawarira at scrum time.
    6/10

    @ MacroPolo:
    Mvovo speel mos links, dan nie? Mapoe regtervleuel. Beste man in daai posisie vanjaar, vir my, was Kobus van Wyk, en ook Ruan Combrinck. Maar hulle is nie nou in die tel nie, so los daai eers…

  • 351

    Nama on 12 July 2015 at 5:49 pm

    @ MacroPolo:
    Ja, maar jy is nou besig om net sekere spelers teen mekaar op te week in ‘n sekere posisie. Kan ‘n mens nou praat van “posisie reservering”, amper soos werk reservering?

    Die man het hom bewys as die beste 13 die jaar. Waarom wil jy hom nou op vleuel oorweeg net omdat die wat daar is kak speel? Laat Haban oorbeweeg 14 toe (soos hy moes doen om vir Hougie plek te maak op 11), Mvovo 11 en laat Mapoe op sy posisie bly.

    Nama on 12 July 2015 at 5:59 pm

    @ Angostura:
    Only see this post now.

    1/ Nee

    2. Here goes.

    15. Willie
    14. Hougie (op vanjaar se vorm)
    13. Mapoe
    12. De Allende
    11. Habana
    10. Jantjies
    9. Pienaar
    8. Vermeulen*
    7. Schalla*
    6. Brussow/Flo
    5. Ruan Botha/Mosterd
    4. Etzebeth
    3. Malherbe
    2. Bissie
    1. Kitshoff

    My other option would be to play Vermeulen at 7 and Whiteley at 8.

    @ Nama:
    Vlueel is deesdae so belangrike posisie, dit help nie jy skuif jou “swakker” spelers uit nie of hulle kleur nou pienk of geel is, Soos jy se, die probleem kom van onder af, en daar is maar baie min wat die nasionale afrigter kan doen behalwe om daarmee saam te lewe en die beste daarvan sal moet maak, soos Pietman sê, van Wyk, Hougie en Ruan Combrink sal nie een telleurgestel het nie… Dit raak maar n flippen moeilike puzzle om die ouens so te juggle.

    I think it would be fair if you now post YOUR merit XV.

    Moes Mosted gewees het. Klein foutjie aan my kant.

    Jy maak nie ook partykeer foutjies nie?

    Pietman on 12 July 2015 at 6:05 pm

    @ Nama:
    Ek was nog besig om my voorspelers neer te skryf, toe steel jy my hele agterlyn! Behalwe ek het nog gedink oor Hougie….sou hom waarskynlik ook uiteindelik ingesit het vir dieselfde rede as jy, vorm.
    Maar daai agterlyn is reg, myns insiens.

    Jy het Mostert ook daai tyd gehad, ek spot maar net, dit was nogals snaaks gewees, ek dink jy het gerbrand grobbler bedoel. 😆

    Nee wat, Paultjie wou mos loop, hy kan maar gaan.
