I hope to god HM does not select CJ again, and Again i am surprised he has not called in Bakkies??if there is a player that can fire up the forward pack it is Bakkies, BIsmark does the same for the Sharks
Anyhows my MOm is Strauss with Alberts and Flouw damn close, Jannie again also getting no recognition, but watch every match he plays?? scrums are steady till he leaves the field.
I wonder if HM regrets calling CJ up and not the Lions first choice tighthead.
391 @ Sharks_forever:
Yip, Doc Jannie is an unsung hero… Pat Cilliers should have replaced him.
Jannie was always going to be subbed at some stage, so Pat would have been the right man, not CJ.
@ bdb:
Ya as hulle toegelaat word om dit to doen Ya, maar soos Mallet se, dis duidelik dat die spelers speel onder instruksies,
387:
1. goeie wenne teen Arg en Aus tuis
2. Ier en Skotland wenne nie goed nie, maar darem gewen.
3. gelykop teen Arg, verloor teen Aus en AB’s oorsee = swak, moes aldrie gewen het.
4. verloor teen AB’s tuis nie goed nie, maar nie ‘n skande nie omdat hul so goed was 2de helfte in Soweto.
@ grootblousmile:
Stem volkome saam
392: JC is oorgesien en ek is verbaas geen super franchise leen hom vir die super 15 volgende jaar nie.
Well that was that.
The only difference between winning and losing is that winning feels better.
Well it’s Southern Hemisphere 4 / 0 so far this weekend…. the 2 games to come should go the other way though.
No way Fiji should beat Ireland and France should beat the Pumas.
395: die wenne teen Engeland was goed, behalwe die gelykop.
Well a win is a win. Well done Boks.
Just have to say thank damn goodness we have Mallett in the studio, he is totally straight forward and tells it like it is. I appreciate someone like that there. We NEED to adopt the Sharks Blue Print please can someone tell Meyer that. Mallett said as much himself. This game plan Meyer is wanting our players to play quite honestly sucks, quite as simple as that. We going nowhere with Meyer absolutely nowhere. He surely has to have some help from a consultant next year. Bring in Mallett or Mitchell or damn it man, ask Plum he got the Sharks playing sublime rugby towards the end of SR. We looking totally clueless with this dumb dumb dumb game plan. Shocking sometimes, we need help it is screaming at us we need plenty help. Otherwise surely even if we win all games on tour Meyer has to go. He has to own up he only knows one way to coach. Scotland not that great to be honest just have to see what a B All Black team done to them. Do hope we play better next week.
Our players look like robots out there, they don’t look like that for their franchises. They actually look afraid to make mistakes. Something just not right, let them damn make mistakes let them learn, but please let them play some rugby. This HAVE to kick everything is useless. Hate to see us playing like this. Can’t wait for Super Rugby.
Over to the Ireland / Fiji Article… game starts in 18 minutes…. and there is still the Anthems and little Haka dance to enjoy
Mallett should have been our coach it is as clear as day light, with Proudfoot and the Stormers defence coach with Carlos Spencer as our backline coach. Just have to wonder how it would be with them coaching? Meyer not doing it at all, not at this level.
314 @ The_Young_Turk:
Absolutely. 100% correct. Meyer needs to go.
Cheers I am out of here.
@ bdb:
As long as you are happy with mediocraty Chief.
@ Puma:
Uhm, the Sharks gameplan is written in English, and didn’t win the Sharks anything this year, or last year, or……..but yes the gameplan currently being used is crap and doesn’t work.
So, whereto for next week against the Poms?
Pat Cilliers on the bench in place of CJ van der Linde, Mvovo on the left wing with Hougie relegated to the bench…. and possibly Morné Steyn starting and Lambie down to the bench.
That’s the most I can see Heyneke changing the side.
401/404: ek wil ook baie graag meer hardloop rugby sien, meer bal in hand, minder skop, akkurater skop, en so aan.
Maar kom ons wees eerlik en vra die vraag: watter span het al ooit op die langtermyn die AB’s geklop met hardlooprugby ? Dink die Franse het dit eenkeer reggekry in die 1999 WB semi-finaal en dit is al, nooit weer nie, en sal nie weer nie.
Al die WB’s finale van toe af, was klipharde verdediging en goeie skoprugby. Ja, ons hou nie daarvan nie, maar met ‘n paar WB’s en superbekers (wat die Bulle betref, kan dit ook mooi rugby wees, 2009 super finaal) sal ons gelukkig wees.
Feite is, die Sharks het mooi rugby gespeel, ek sal bly wees as die Bulle ook meer daarvan kan wys … maar boggerol bekers is so gewen toe dit saak maak hierdie jaar, beide die super en CB finaal verloor.
So ja, ons moet beide ons skop en hardlooprugby wedstrydplan in werking kry, so beide afrigtingspan maar OOK spelers moet aanpas in beide aspekte.
Die Bulle het die meeste driee gedruk, met ‘n goeie skopplan in plek, so dit kan gedoen word.
405: julle Vrystaters is al so lank tevrede met Naka, so hoekom kan ons nie wees met HM nie, dit terwyl hy maar ‘n halwe jaar in die job is ? 😉
Bwaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa……
407: enige sprake dat FDP en JF kan terugkom SA toe, of hoop jy dit maar net ?
406 @ Loosehead:
Far, far better than the total crap we playing with the Boks. Go look at the ABs they light years away from us. We damn lucky the Aussies played France last week and not us. Samoa and Arg too would klap us right now. We are just not playing well that is it nothing more we are terrible. Game plan that is the problem.
Simple we need a new Bok coach, that is where the problem lays right at his feet. Bring back Mallett or Mitchell or Plum anyone of those coaches would be far better. We have too much talent not to be right up there with the All Blacks.
Anyhow this time we beat the Scots. The last time Matfield was captain we lost there.
409 @ bdb:
Sjoe, rather HM than Naka.
413: dit is wat so lekker is as ons verloor of sleg speel – daar is ALTYD iemand om die skuld te gee, hehe. As dit nie HM is nie, is dit MS en as dit nie MS is nie is dit VM en as dit nie hulle is nie, is dit apartheid ! 😉
