Jean De Villiers is back with the Springboks.
This is great news. It seems that Peter De Villiers has finally decided to go back on his policy and pick the best players wherever they are playing their rugby.
First it was CJ Van der Linde, then BJ Botha and now Jean De Villiers. Let’s hope Frans Steyn is next and Peter De Villiers will continue to pick them even when the Boks are back playing in South Africa.
Off news24.
Dublin – Centre Jean de Villiers will join the Springbok squad in Dublin on Thursday.
De Villiers, who joined Irish club Munster in September, has been called to the squad to replace Adi Jacobs, who has been ruled out of Saturday’s Test against Ireland due to an ankle injury.
Jacobs will return to South Africa tomorrow.
The Springbok team to face Ireland will also be named on Thursday.
The Bokke have actually been blessed with the right injuries to the right players on this Tour…. harsh to say, but true
Het julle ouens die een van Koos in Engeland gehoor?
Koos vra vir ‘n properste Engelsman: Excuse me Sir, where the Big Ben are?
Die “Sir” antwoord; You can’t use are at the end of a sentence old chap!
Koos kyk hom so en se: Excuse me Sir, where the Big Ben are….P$@S!
Sorry about that one Carol! 🙂
31 – What even Bakkies and his back injury, seems a bit harsh??
30 – Carol, I am no typist but try to type fast you see and I make these mistakes and never ever correct them. Just hit the submit comment..hehe. Only see it after.
34@Carol – Except Bakkies… hope he will be Ok and ready
Dit is goeie nuus.
33 – Mmmmm, you may have to translate ….P$@S ! 😐
Go ahead, as the token English person (I help to fulfill Rugby Talks foriegn person and statutary female requirement)
I enjoy an English joke as much as the next…… !! 🙂
Now see that Bakkies is seeing a back specialist. Don’t play with a injured back it could become very serious Bakkies take advice from me. I know.
We do need our enforcer but not at the expensive of his back.
We in poo if he can not play. Bekker to start then and Danie at 8. Kanko will have to be on the bench. Bekker will have to play for 80 min. We should have had Sykes in the Dirt Trackers now this is the time that it would have counted. Having someone like that play and stay behind with the Boks if we picked up injuries.
Hope Bakkies is fine. One player we REALLY NEED.
Hello Karlien Boksenwold.

So now we have both of the most over rated players in the country on Centre for this weekends game. The big black hole in the middle of the back line. Jean de Villiers does not know how to pass a ball! Watch him turn over possesion against the Irish loose forwards.

Sorry Carol another mistake there 😉 meant expense NOT expensive.
P$@S = pussy = small little cat
Carol: Why thank you, my fair Lady! 🙂
35 _ Puma you must be fast you are only 70 odd comments behind me now!
37 – EDDDDDDIIIIEEEEEEE- iT’S BEEN TOO LONG…..Mwahhhhhhhhh. How is my lovely little lion?
36 – GBS I wondered what Bakkies had done to deserve your wrath!! But all is OK!
#44 LOL! Precisely old chap!
Karlien, I am AWESOME as always. How are you?
41 – Super, JdV far better than Adi though. We still not sure who will start. WO or JdV. Maybe PdV while he is at it should give Fransie a call too. Also read that Zane had a bit of a injury problem. Must not play with injured players.
Now the biggest worry is Bakkies back. He went to see a specialist today. So hoping he is fine but not play with a injured back that will cause life long pain. Needs to start injury free totally if it is a back injury.

46 – Carol I am catching up. 😆
Seems like the only guys prepared to say what i feel is on News24 chat line.

How the heck does PdV’s selection criteria works?!!! What is Wynand then doing on tour (this is not about Wynand but about the principle)? I’m really starting to think that this guy is clueless and that Lady Luck (or should it be Lady Injury) just keeps on saving his @ss. His luck is going to run out sooner or later and he is going to be exposed for the useless coach that he in actual fact is!!!
48 – Ed, I have been wined and dined today so am feeling very ‘chipper’ after my trip in a ‘chopper’!!!
Are you going to an Irish Bar in Boston to watch the Boks beat the Croake Park Boys?
Agree Puma. If Bakkies isn’t 100%, he shouldn’t play.
Thinking about it Carol. We have Thanksgiving here, so after today I only work again on Tuesday. See what the GF wants to do. We might go indoor skydiving.
Today, 39 years ago, a little pinkfoot was born in Thabazimbi!
53@ Carol – So you’re a chipper chopper…. or a chopper chipper!
52 – superBul – Given a blank cheque who would you bring in as Bok Coach?
Yippee
Fair is fair – let Wynand start as he is probably a bit sharper and been running with the Bok drills. After an hour as the “sagmaker” bring Jean on to finish them off.
leave Fransie where he is though – I hate it when he thinks he’s the Messiah and starts his 50 M plus dropgoal nonsense. After 2 months in France he’s probably starting to think he’s Serge Blanco and will try run it back from the Bok line. If he has a brainfart we could suffer, Kirschner will be fine and is due a big game.
55 – Ed, ‘Indoor Skydiving’?? Huh….explain please, it it is rude you must tell me!! 😉
56 – Daai Daisy – Is it your birthday? Are you the little pink foot?
57 – Chipper post chopper!!………….. Especially now the slight nausea has passed!! 😆
