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.
@grootblousmile – OK for you Mr. GBSanova Computer Head!! You understand these things
@grootblousmile – 326 I don’t know how reliable it is. I keep getting messaged that my brother is online. I call him & no one is there 🙁 Also I keep getting “friendly” messages from women who I do not know. It seems to me that these “angels” have gravitated from spam to Skype 🙁
331@carol – I talk to the trees….. but they don’t listen to me….
Nou wonder ek wat die Bokke se ‘mindset’ gaan wees vir saterdag se wedstryd. Natuurlik om te wen, want ons kort nog daardie een bonuspunt, maar die beste manier om hom te kry, is om bloot te wen. Maar, gaan ons weer aanvallend speel of meer van skoppe gebruik maak.
Dit was in Brisbane gewees waar ons daardie groot pakslae gekry het (49-0). Dalk is dit tyd om dit uit te wis ?
332@JimT – Yeah dammit, I get the women trying to chat me up too…. I delete the farkers from my contact list !
Send me a mail with your Skype Name….. wait…. I’ve got your Mail Addie, I’ll do a search for you…. Your Skype on now ?
hiyas my sharky brudda , welcome to a awesome site@Puma –
@superBul – hey super , ons gebede is met jou moeder , mag sy nog baie jare gespaar bly, en lekker jare met julle geniet
good evening to all the good people from RT
I have to agree , its awesome having the likes of PA and TH here
@grootblousmile – 330 To be truthful it’s difficult to tell these days. Front row play has changed so much. In the old days one could engage early, which allowed you to burrow into your opponent & apply your technique to overcome him. But today with the crouch, touch, pause & engage that advantage seems to be lost. Plus changing to a 3-4-1 formation from the old 3-2-3 formation puts more pressure on the props. Probably also eliminates the chance to win a tight head because the #3’s legs are not so free.
The net result of all this is the frequent collapsing of scrums & resets. Front row play has become more of a hit/miss affair. If your body angle is not just right & the locks/flankers are not properly controlling their push then any prop can go down. Consequently the performance of an individual prop can vary from game to game. I think the IRB needs to rethink scrummaging & put the individual skills back into the game. It would also serve to make scummaging more unpredictable, i.e. more heels against the head.
338@sharky_forever – Hello Sparky
@grootblousmile – hulle soek jou worsie visser 😆 😆
@sharky_forever – Thanks, my blood nosed friend 😆
We both got a proper hiding on the Rugby field last weekend. Sharks will be on 32 by the time we meet , wonder were we will be after the next 2 games.
Hallo Sharkie, vertel my: hoe gaan Jannie Dup meer speelkans by Sharks kry, terwyl Smittie ook daar is ?
342 @superBul – op Loftus, daar naby die 224 …
@grootblousmile – Ok what now? I’m in!
@bdb – sulking or celebrating?
lol super , let the wpee enjoy it while it lasts, soon bulls and sharks will be packed with the quality players as they return , dan kak hulle weer 😆@superBul –
@bdb – moen ie jy worrie nie ou maat ons sal hom mooi oppas en laat speel 😉
@sharky_forever -Bulle speel
WP- sonder Bokke
SHA- sonder Bokke
BOL- Hoop hulle rus hul Bokke
CHE- Gebruik hul Bokke
GRI- Rus hul bokke as hulle dit kan bekostig
LUI- Speel hulle vir 2 redes om samespel te kweek en moontlik om punte verskil op te maak
346 @superBul – dink ons gaan ten minste een van die 2 wen. Sal jou na saterdag sê watter een !
349 @superBul – as ons dit nie maak nie, sal dit ons leer om op te hou sing: “maak die Bulle almal Bokke” 😉
@carol – 345 Too late GBS & I just had a conversation 🙂
@bdb – Ek hoor jou, maar ek dink ons gee te veel manne n game. Ons moes meer n kern gebou het , maar dan weer daar is nog baie water wat in die see moet loop. Ons is tans net 3 liga punte agter die voorlopers, en ons het 3 games wat maklik vir ons 15 punte kan gee, dan het ons dalk net een ander wen en n bonuspuntjie nodig.
Ahhhhh, I’ve just seen Jimmy the Prop in living form…. on Skype.
Carol…. get it sorted !
353 @superBul – ja, ek is ook nie te bekommerd nie. Kwasse en Sharks het klaar ‘gepeak’, die Cheetahs en WP is besig om te ‘peak’, seker so tot voor die semi’s, ons behoort te ‘peak’ met die semi, en finaal. 🙂
@grootblousmile – Nearly there but it can’t find you on e mail!!!
@grootblousmile – 354 Yay, Jimmy the Prop is no longer a myth, he’s for real 🙂
It was good talking to you GBS. Amazing stuff this Skype. I read yesterday that eBay had sold off their holdings in Skype. Hope the new owners don’t screw it up 🙁
@bdb – Sonder om windgat te klink, as ons net n semi maak dink ek ons vat hom. Ons het nou al bewys dat ons weg ook kan wen. Die naweek sal ons hopelik voortbou daarmee em weer die Aussies klap.
Lekker slaap almal.
@carol – 356 Carol you gotta do a search on the “handles”. For GBS it’s his full name. For me it’s james.p.turner.
