What did Schalk do  in 2015 other than -

*      knocking on four balls in the Japan disaster; and

*      routinely becoming first receiver  of balls from the scrummy and doing zilch with the balls.   

I believe in merit selections in such cases - as to Schalk.he did much less than  other  players did.

A side picked by the same ‘experts’ who gave us the Duds....STING!!!... . I was just waiting for Dave and Mike to fall for the bait.


It’s soooooo easy!

It's simple. Every time the pompous old fop makes a complete dick of himself, he pretends it was some kind of trap he set for you and he starts shrieking "Sting" at the top of his voice.

Is Moz trying to say that the guys who selected this 2015 WC dream team are exactly the same guys who chose PSDT as the 2019 world player of the year?

Dave

The Players of the Year is selected by 8 experts who have access  to comprehensive data  we do not have at our disposal.   

I am not sure whether the team Mozart came up with was similarly selected by experts and from where it came.    However, the 2015 WC was crap and that was shown up by the vast improvements shown  in respect of all  components of rugby in the 2019 WC.

Yep.....the same guys who voted for Players of the Year in 2015 voted for the Dream Team. The very experts you and Tokkie always quote about the Duds........er STING!!!!

Bullshit Moz it’s not going to be the same 8 experts operating in both 2015 and 2019 But feel free to prove me wrong Equally player of the spans the year Team of the WC spans 3 or 4 games Nice try Moz but not even close

Of course it’s not the same 8....it’s the same kind of experts. Experts with similar qualifications. But I get it, experts are only experts when they agree with your biases. 

Schalk was a great player and Etzebeth the best number 4 lock on the planet for 6 years. If the French had Etzebeth they would walk the 6 Nations.

I have no problem with the Schalk and Etzebeth selections it’s some of the other selections that are pretty average. I fully get PSDT being named player of the year as he was that important and influential in the team of the year He was simply outstanding

My take on the Welsh try is the only analytical one you will read....a proper critique of the failed role of the blindside flanker who gifted Wales the overlap.

What was your take om Willie le Roux knocking on the ball with an open try-line in front of him?   By the way your take on the Welsh try was total and undiluted BS made up in a total prejudiced mindless  made up tale.

I watched Chasing the Sun and the Wales game again last night...damn that was too tight... but that match prepared us mentally for the defensive stand against the Poms.

BTW Maaik.. Willie played with a serious shoulder injury in the Japan and Wales matches...some nerve damage... he had very little feeling in his arm.

Sorry Moz but your take on the Wales try was prejudicial bullshit against PSDT who was outstanding all WC as he has been for years now Easily one of the best players in the game - he has an award to prove it

Mozart

I still want to know where you got that so-called dream team from?   Thinking back - IO remember that I saw that "dream team" before,     I either saw that so-called :"dream team" om this site or in a media report.   Typical kind of drivel appearing in the media.      

 There was even n error in the team - since the prop  forward is  not Ajerz  - his surname is "Ajersa". If that team was compiled by the "same experts" you referred to - they would not have picked a team with a  non- existent player in it.

Did you post that "dream team" on site before?
