@ grootblousmile: Agreed…!
@ grootblousmile:
I agree, my biggest worry is Ruan, ALSO that our forwards protect him and not force him to dig for the ball at every second ruck.
I think Schalk will also come on at No.8

One thing he did is win more than one game in NZ against the AB,s
Something HM wont have behind him after this year.
I did not hate him but i also liked some of his speeches. We need to enjoy Rugby. He added something extra….ordinary
Fransie Steyn is finished, he is on his last legs with that dodgy knee… and on top of it he has now AGAIN signed to go play in Japan and will leave after Super Rugby is finished.
So, will he even be available at all for The Rugby Championship for the Springboks? What about for the End Of Year Tours?
@60
I won’t criticize HM if we lose, I will however criticize him because he must play the guys who he decided must get contracts.
So if he contracted poorly, the the buck must stop with him.
No one forced him to contract Habana, Steyn, JPP, Boetie (ok, I understand he wants Bissie and it’s a package deal, you may not have Bissie if you don’t give Boetie a contract too ) Ruan to name a few

I also miss Divvy, he was so funny at times, brought a bit of color to the game
Jislaaik, maar die wind waai woes daar in die Kaap
Snorrie is now where he belongs, coaching a Varsity Shield team, a 7th level side.
Not a Super Rugby side (2nd Level)
Not a Currie Cup side (3rd level)
Not a Vodacom Cup side (4th level)
Not a Varsity Cup side (5th Level)
Not a Super Club Side (6th level)
But a Varsity Shield side (7th level)
@ nortierd:
Maybe, but Hougaard, Kolisi and Marcel Coetzee was not forced to play, I do not know if they are all injured.
I saw a game by Ruan this year where he was picked man of the match , in fact some here said he was brilliant. The gameplan. Is he not playing exactly the way HM wants him to play> Thats why HM keeps picking him, at least he is listening to the coach.
HM wants a scrumhalf that can kick like a number 10, think like a number 10. Wonder why he never tried a no 10 to play scrumhalf?
@ nortierd:
PDivvy is one of the best stand-up comedians South Africa has produced. They used to sell tickets to his media conferences. 😆

And you might not understand what he want to say too.
Some must feel empty after a pressie with him, did he say anything

OK, 10 minutes till kick-off…. shuffle up, fill the drinks glasses, settle in.
I better fill my own glass too!

Hello Kickers
Besides Fransie is only playing vs Olivier, we have been hearing for nearly ten years what a crap player meisiekind is.

Hello mikeybass what part of the UK you in at moment? Wherever I guess you were just being a plonker you should know that 15.00 GMT is always 17.00 SA time just because the clocks go forward to BST doesn’t mean GMT is any different
Only joking to be fair the change back and forward with the time is a bit of nuisance around the time of the change, always need to adjust the schedule this side, but it is really lekker to get longer hours in the ‘evenings’ to do things when it is sunny.
GO SPRINGBOKS!
After this game, Rugby-Talk still will have 1 more Live Game Article, Argentina vs Ireland at 20:40 SA Time!!
Just read that the Cheetahs are sending Naka overseas to get more experience (paid). Dobbo has to make his own way over, unpaid. Taste the difference.

Hello Bully!
78 @ grootblousmile: Howzit, GBS, made it back just in time for this match. Looking forward to it.
The World XV side takes to the pitch
OK now its time to enjoy the Game of Rugby. Lets see how the 2 coaches plan their game.
Big talking Mallet putting his reputation at risk against the man with all the structures in the world.
ENJOY
85 @ Just For Kicks:
Me too Kickers, me too!
Hallo almal. go Bokke!!!
