I mean just look at him, he who together with his Bok compadres destroyed the Bulls forwards, the greatest prop to grace gods green earth. We mere mortals should bow down in awe of him and there is so much to be in awe of. Also Moernaai should take the Bok 10 jersey in Pollards absence. Junkies can warm the bench a bit longer or at least until he retires.

Malherbe was the best WP player on Saturday. A few Bulls attackers ran into him, he threw a few passes and scrummed well.

Agreed. A tighthead prop is not there to be fancy. Number 1, stand your ground in the scrum or dominate. The rest is a bonus.

“Morne looks amazing behind a totally dominant forward pack”

No shit

Well let's look at that then. Maybe we need to switch things around for the boks and play form players.

BTW. The Stormers aren't the only team in the universe. He outplayed Bosch the week before...

This is why I am so pissed off with SARU pulling out of the RC....we are going to learn nothing about the way forward for the Boks only playing kak super heroes game's. Nienaber is a chickens dick

This is the brains trust that won us the RWC from absolutely nowhere. It goes without saying that they will do what's best for SA Rugby overall. They see the bigger picture.

Please show some respect to our people in charge.

Oom, you have to help me, I've made it my mission to teach sards about rugby. I have the knowledge, you too, it would be selfish of us to keep it from him.

Nienaber is not Rassie. He has never coached a CC or Superrugby side....he is just too chicken shit scared to be exposed and we will get drilled by the British and Irish Lions...

All we know from this local competition is that the Stormers are kak. Willemse is not a flyhalfs arse. Morne is the form flyhalf. Our front rows are good at this level across the teams. Our locks are at the Bulls. As is our loose trio.

Now if we played international rugby there would be no guessing.

Nienaber will have consulted Rassie. Rassie may be the Director now, but don't think much will change around the team I suspect Nienaber will do a lot of the PR jobs. Rassie will still be hands on coach, he said as much after chasing the sun, that we dare not let this momentum slip now.

We know that the Bulls are on fire, but it's still early doors, a lot of rugby still to be played. I know as a saarkie you have hensopped, don't paint me by the same brush.

International rugby during Covid 19 is a joke, let's contain the virus first.

True, but I feel pity for the lad, here's hoping he can turn into a good egg.

All momentum was lost when SARU reneged on the RC deal. We will be 3 months behind the rest of the world

With his 1/2 a brain cell. SA Rugby is at least 6 months behind NZ.

Ok we are getting there. NZ is not the rest of the world but at least we are heading in the right direction by accepting that we are way behind.

Sigh.....Saffers aren't the brightest.

The Wallabies got a hammering but at least they know where they stand and what to fix....we are still puzzling out Currie cup rugby

Obvious we know exactly where we are when they finalize this tournament.

Far from match fit for any rugby, no overseas player available.

Getting a hiding of 100 nul from the All Blacks, 50 nul from the Wallabies.

Their season is finished at Christmas, our s halfway.

Comes March next year and they will be behind.

Why is this so difficult to understand

From the WC winning starting XV only Amm, Malherbe, Bongi & Vermeulen are playing.

Sards hate Springbok rugby

Love it....
That's why I question us pulling out of the RC.........
Hating it would be not wanting to see our Springboks play.

The Ozzies have been trying to fix their rugby for years now. The last few years they relied on Kiwis to do it for them but they just end up further in the ditch.
You just don't get it and I said I'm done trying to explain it to you but I'll give it one more go.

- SARU was beholden to the lockdown measures put in place by the SA government like all the rest of us. Regardless of what your feelings is about the "lockdown" it is wat it is.
- Because of this SARU could not get the Springbok players match fit in time to send down-under.

The alternatives

- Send an inexperienced developmental squad to get murdered. Capping bag full of youngsters and subjugating them to loss after loss. Risking them not only physically but mentally as well in a hope that they learn and don't sustain to many career ending injuries and/or develop a losing mentality.
- Withdraw

My opinion from the get go was that the strict lockdown measures put in place by the SA government was excessive and unnecessary. It has done unrepairable damage and crippled us as a nation. But just like you and me and everyone ells SARU could not do anything about it and had to toe the line like everyone ells.

Sorry......all the excuses are weak as cats piss.......I cannot fathom how any rugby supporter can accept it.


Back to Currie Cup rugby....its what we do .....
