    JdV coming home with Jan Serfontein to replace him.

    Serfontein struggles to make the run on team at the Bulls!

    Any thoughts?

    Will certainly change the interest if they go out – which would be very sad, because there is a great buzz around the British Isles at the moment, not as big as the Olympics, but the feel good factor is definitely there. Something only sport can do.

    Really nice to see a kid so chuffed to be leading out the teams.

    Good to see we aren’t the only OAPs at the WC. Ireland has the oldest average aged team in WC history playing in this game

    Posed the same question on the Bok thread.

    Feel sorry for Lood, because now we all know the 1st choice captain will start every game, so Lood is stuck on the bench

    @ Just For Kicks:
    He has only had good games since his comeback.

    He was the only player against Japan who could hold his head high.

    Where was Oupa in that game? To dominate the Samoan line out isn’t really an achievement, we continued dominating even after he went off for his afternoon nap

    Just For Kicks on 27 September 2015 at 5:53 pm

    @ nortie:
    What Lock wouldn’t have dominated the Samoan lineout, the looses were dominating the Samoan join out, in fact, if there was a lock that didn’t dominate the Samoan line out, he shouldn’t be at the WC

    Just For Kicks on 27 September 2015 at 5:54 pm

    @ nortie:Also, if you get to see the match again, have a look where the ball was when Oupa caught it. Right in his bread basket.

    Strauss is good with aiming and taking into account the Zimmer frame

    Now we know why Bissie was dropped, pump by die dam dam isn’t to flash at maths and equations

    Just For Kicks on 27 September 2015 at 5:59 pm

    @ nortie: In fact, I’d go so far as to say that it should be the lifters who should get the credit. They put Oupa in such a position that he couldn’t miss the ball!

    Romanians think this is a fashion show. Fruity tops and sparkly shorts.
