120 @ Just For Kicks:
Fokkit!
109@ The_Young_Turk:
Meyer would have selected: Burger, Bekker, Vermeulen with the 3 he has now. That would have been 6. Then again he has Kolisi with the training squad on standby. I felt for Kolisi really he has been excellent. He will get his chance for sure. Let us see who Meyer selects for the RC. If this team he has now does well against the English, then who knows the injured will have to fight for their place. That has always been the way in our rugby.
Try Nathan Harris… the replacement hooker
@ The_Young_Turk:
lets see how the press tores him appart
Final Score: New Zealand 63 / 0 Samoa
121@ grootblousmile:Yup, hows this for cricket scores to start the JWC. Looks like world rugby is well out of kilter!
I think the reason (PROBABLY) why the Sharks and probably the Bulls never gave it their all this weekend. NO players wanted to be injured and not selected for the Bok team. Then have to get over their injury and play their way back, also to beat the guy now that has taken their place that could be playing out of his socks.
My mening is dat die volgende dinge teen HM se planne ingegaan het op hierdie stadium:
1. Jacques Fourie en FDP wat nie beskikbaar is nie
2. heelwat Stormers beserings
3. Bulle wat uit die bus geval het die laaste drie wedstryde, veral ‘pienk saterdag’, juis op die tyd toe hul moes ‘peak’ met die oog op die toetse wat voorlê.
4. die moontlike bok kaptein (Spies) wat sy vorm verloor het.
Uit ‘n blou bul oogpunt gaan daar natuurlik baie vrae wees as die bulle bokke nou skielik na een week ‘peak’ en soos kampioene die volgende 3 saterdae speel.
Maar Puma is reg, na die 4nasies sal ons ‘n beter oordeel kan fel.
Sterkte aan HM en die bokgroep.
From my personal point of view I had certain misgivings about HM before he was chosen as Bok coach and he hasn’t done anything to lessen those misgivings but I am prepared to give the man a decent amount of time to prove himself. However unfortunately many of the public now have made up their minds already so we have a sad situation where the Bok coach is again under pressure before he has even played a game. He now has to win every game to keep the wolves at bay and they are going to find fault with everything that happens on this England tour. If he manages to win the RC then maybe he will win over many people as everyone likes a winner. Just a pity that we saffers are always our own worse enemies.
ENGLAND 64/5 ITALY. 79 minutes
WE should never have aggreed to this S15 format. TOOOOO long. Also should be completed before the incoming tours. Far, far better that way.
122: ons toekomstige bok lostrio gaan so lyk:
6 – Marcel Coetzee
7 – Siya Kolosaal
8 – Arno Botha
ENGLAND 64/5 ITALY. Final Score
128@ @ bdb:
Good points
Yes, one can only fairly judge HM at the end of the year.
127 @ Puma:
I’m glad for Marcell Coetzee… he’s been excellent all season!
The strangest choice in the Bok group to me is Franco van der Merwe….
129@ The_Young_Turk:
We are our own worst enemies. This provincialism is rubbish sometimes. We should be looking at the bigger picture. Some just never will.
Like I said to you in a earlier post, the moaing is all coming out the Cape, when really it should not be. Had there not been so many injuries in the Stormers side 3 players extra without a doubt would have got selected. NOW they just can’t be included next time either, they have to play their way back in. Like all players have too really. Unless the ones selected now are just not up to it. So it is a tough world out there
Shall we move to the new Baby Bokke thread?
Every coach makes strange/picks. The better coaches make fewer bad picks but no one is immune to it.
135@ grootblousmile:
Very pleased for Marcell. I say that even if he was playing for Stormers. Just happens to be a Shark. He has been outstanding since last year in the CC and he has been top class in this S15. Stepped up to this level like a duck takes to water. That is a class player. Would also like to see Kolisi get a chance and see how he does in the Bok jersey sometime. He too has been brilliant for the Stormers and to be honest I have not even noticed that Burger has not been there.
139 @ Puma:
Yip, Kolisi is freegin awesome!
137@ grootblousmile:
If you have one up. Great. Let us move over. Boks week this and we should be talking non-stop about our Bokke.
136@ Puma:I have to take issue with this constant Stormers bashing. I am not so sure that is is just the Stormers who have been complaining. I have seen as many complaints from as many other supporters. Except on Voldy, where I did take a look, and when you look at that thread, you can clearly see how they wind up the Stormers, but have a look further back at earlier threads, and see who the complaints came from. I think you may be pleasantly surprised to see that most of us are behind HM, and will be overjoyed for the win.
@ Just For Kicks:
haha I am a Stormer and I think there has always been the banter been the Bulls and WP/Stormers. Just look at the history. If you can not take then I need to say grow some balls. Not directed at you but once the banter is gone so dies a part of our rugby’s tradition. And that tradition mind you fills staduims year after year. Its North vs South. But lately we do the talking on the field and the Bulls off the field mostly…
Oops there I did it again my appoligies. But now its the Bokke and I am 100 percent behind then no matter how many Bulls, Sharks, Freestate or Lions play for them. Anyways half the Bulls come from WP so………….
