After initially indicating that the Springboks would not call on replacements from SA, following the injury of Andries Bekker and J P Pietersen, Bokke management has decided to call on Johan Muller to strenghten the Bokke squad for their remaining two matches on the Tri-Nations Tour.
With Danie Rossouw having had injury worries and with slight niggles to the knees of Bakkies Botha, it makes sense to call on a decent lock as cover down under. Questions must be asked however whether Johan Muller was the suitable candidate for the job.
Johan has ample Bokke experience but David de Villiers or Anton van Zyl might have proven better choices, whilst at the same time getting them used to the Bokke setup.
Johan JAN Muller
Probably the most experienced, but not the best.
David de Villiers or one of the Van der Merwes should be next in line.
Mistake, he is a good CC player, average S14/15 player and not a Bok level player.
Johan Muller is in the systems of the Boks for quite a while. De Villiers etc was never in the system.
3@Loosehead – Look, Muller will probably not even sit on a replacement bench for the 2 matches, sooooo not so much of a mistake, but taking David de Villiers or Anton van Zyl would have given them exposure to the Bokke setup without unnecessary awarding Test Cap status… ideal opportunity wasted, in my opinion.
5@grootblousmile – Exactly.
Not only must Snor keep up the good work that he is doing with the current Boks, he also has the responsibilty to start grooming the future Boks. And Muller shouldn’t be in those plans.
What about Willem Stolz? 👿
@K9-MonsterLeeu – The Lions will need him to help the Vrystaat from man shaming the Lions on Saturday.
7@K9-MonsterLeeu – What about him… huh ??
9@grootblousmile – Another over rated Lions loser.
Hoekom vir Muller oorstuur, Danie en Juan kan instaan vir slot ?
Agree with GBS. Great opportunity wasted. Younger guy would make sense, but then, the T3N is not won, so go with someone that knows the system. Wonder if there is not more Rossouw worries than we are told.
@Loosehead – u cheetahs guys r veeery positive after a win against a Kwas side which was ready for a hiding…even by the Leopards.
Tot wanneer is Juandre Kruger se kontrak in Engeland, en, gaan hy terugkom Bulle toe, of terug Kaap toe ?
@bdb – Miskien in laaste 20 min ja, maar as ‘n slot binne 1ste minuut gaan, sal hulle dit nie maak. As Danie nie betyds reg is nie, sal Muller beslis op bank wees, en ons ‘n losvoorspeler opsie kwyt wees.
Wys jou watter waardevolle ‘n speler met die vermoë van Danie is.
@bdb – Mens mag NOOIT vir Juan mors op slot nie.
@K9-MonsterLeeu – Paah! The Lions get 1 easy win in the CC and now you want to make their journeyman players Boks. Next thing you will be calling for Earl Rose to beome a Springbok, and call him the Tiger Woods of rugby. 😆
Saturday will be the final nail in the coffin for the Gautengers.
@Loosehead – I was joking about Stolz btw. We’r only behind u guys cause of points diff. After Sat the points diff will be wiped out and we will have more log points.
@K9-MonsterLeeu – Dis duidelik dat Muller nie oorgegaan het vir ‘n Bekker replacement nie. Hy is slot cover vir Danie as hy nie betyds reg is nie, of as hy seerkry hierdie Saterdag.
@K9-MonsterLeeu – Not on your Nellie!
@isigidi – ja ek stem. Pla my nie veel nie. Hy het die ondervinding in die bok setup hoewel hy maar gemiddeld is. Hoop maar Danie is reg. Ons het nokol ander slotte…nie eers iemand wat besig is om opgang te maak nie.
@Loosehead – I would really not want to marginilise you lions and cheaters supporters from up here on the log, but could you be a little more quiet please. Sound travels quickly up. Shhhhh!
Goeie dag, ouens…
Question: What do u guys think of WP Nel?
22@isigidi – Now that is a low blow. You Bulls supporters are still hurting after the beating meated out to you by the States a few weeks back.
@K9-MonsterLeeu – It will not be long until the Sharks poach him and Coenie.
@Loosehead – Isi is not a bull….he just sounds like one.
@Loosehead – Im impressed with him. Pity bout his first name though. Sounds gay.
@K9-MonsterLeeu – #27 kan julle nie sien dat hy ‘n donnerse wiepeenouweer issie….hulle het alweer klaar die currie cup gewen hehehehehe
@K9-MonsterLeeu – #28 Bwaahahahahaha
