Not sure how the Stormers won that...

Weird and sad with West Indies not there.

Rassie is picking Willemse and that's enough for me.

Called it!

As a bok supporter, I was sad for the NZ players standing around, waiting for the medal ceremony, some crying. It meant as much for them as for us. To lose by a point is a bitch.

Respect for that showing playing more than 50 minutes with 14 men.

Good start to the season. Something to build on.

Just can't make anything work

What's the problem(s) at the Sharks, Sards?

Accountants good, lawyers bad.
Narrator: "Handyman is an accountant".

Could be worse, could have been a saaks supporter.

But is their back against the wall really? They snotklapped the ABs before the tournament and have danced around France and England to make it to this point. The real rugby starts now and to me the Springboks look tired of it all. One thing NZ will have to manage is Nenabar has essentially named tw...

I would never underestimate the Springboks. As above, I am just noting the momentum of both teams and the shift in momentum. Also, Malcolm Marx is a huge loss for SA, particularly when facing the All Blacks. A Springbok team with his back against the wall is a dangerous animal. But is their back ag...

Relax oompie. It's only a game played for fun.

PB, the All Blacks 2023 are not like England 2019. Or England ever. Try to tell you a week is a long time in rugby. You are welcome to underestimate the Springboks. Keep going.

Skaap spit Saterdag. Dis 'n final, moet groot gaan!

boere wors wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2023 7:38 am Biggest worry is that Faf concusses himself in the first 5 minutes, which is not unlikely. It is the only worry with that 7-1, and could have been easily mitigated by having Reinach on the bench iso Willie.

Agreed.

7-1 :eek: :eek: :eek: It's amazing what Rassie has done to us, when I see the team sheet the first think I look at is the bench :lol: It's a good selection, made for wet weather. Kolbe backup 9. Faf, Le Roux and Willemse backup 10. Willemse backup 12. De Allende backup 13. Kriel backup 11 and 14. L...

I am not so confident like Handy. The Stormers have a nightmare tour coming up and will be without their Boks. The Saffer team to beat will be the Bulls. Nonsense. The Stormers have sorted out their finances, and bridged the gap between the schools and clubs and playing for WP/Stormers (compared to...

Sards wrote: ↑Wed Oct 25, 2023 8:54 am Lets wait and see......playing against The Lions and barely getting the win is not the same as playing the top teams abroad.

If the Stormers are getting excited about that....well....lets see

In my books a win is better than a loss...

Rancid Handyman, absolutely rancid.

No bait, just a prediction. Which may be way of the mark.

What's your's?

My prediction for the Saffer sides this year: Stormers Bulls Lions Sharks I think you are being very hopeful. Bulls are going to be the team to beat. Lions don't have money so are going to prop up the bottom again. Sharks have some serious artillery coming back. Right now it would be great to just ...

Our lads swinging for the fences now.

Don't. Start.

Lads, what's on the braai for Saturday's final?

Also giving us 24 hours less rest for the final.

Another 1 pointer for the Boks won't be good for my heart.

Did the teams share a beer after the game? I really hope so.

Would also be good of Bongi and Curry to shake hands and make amends.

Foster ingenuously ensured that we troughed for a solid 4 years to get this peak.

Worthy of a new 4 year contract.

_Os_ wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 7:55 am So we're all agreed, Le Roux will be man of the match.

It's the knocks that's driving me crazy.

Unchanged team. Totally fine except for Willie imho. There was no real point in having him on the bench against France, and I didn’t think he made an impact when coming on. Would have preferred another forward on the bench, but anyway. Willie is only there on reputation. I think after this RWC he w...

3rd time this RWC for the Springboks. We should be used to him by now.

To try and engage with it - England are obvious underdogs. Our pack has a lot of players in it who have in the past been right up there with the best in the world. They last dominated a world class side in 2022(?) the home game down to 14 vs Ireland. So yes, theoretically it could happen again but ...

Due to ESKOM I have eventually strayed from the straight and narrow and got a gas braai. Big plus is to be up and braaing in 10 minutes Dude...you are filling your body with gas. Not all gas that goes into the burner burns...you will notice a slight gas smell on your food . At least my wife does , ...
