Hell that's been a long time coming. No thanks to our useless coach though.
While rejoicing in injuries is to be frowned upon, they have done us an immeasurable favour in riding our side of the two biggest passengers in Jean and Matfield. Hooray I say.
Their replacements are 10 times the players and with them comes the ability for the side to comfortably dominate the opposition.
With Jean at 12 or 13 the backline lacked attacking spark. The ball either died or no creativity was provided by the old man. Momentum was lost given the weak link. de Allende and Kriel showed against the AB s just what is required of a centre pair.
In the forwards old man Vic at 108kg was a sad excuse for a modern day lock. His presence meant we were never going to win the physical battles and play to our strengths. His presence in the side has been our biggest thorn...even more so than Jean. A lock first and foremost needs to impose himself physically. All top tier locks are adept at line outs and kick offs. The notion that Matfield reigned supreme here is utter rubbish. In Lood and Etzebeth with PSDT coming off the bench, we have physically imposing players with good skill.
Of the side selected, Willie, JP, Kriel, de Allende, Pollard, Beast, Bismark, Lood, Etzebeth and Vermeulen are my first choices or damn close. Hell that 10 of the 15. Add the fact that I can live with Habana, du Preez and Schalk on board, we have the makings of the best side we have seen in some time.
On the bench we have quality in Strauss, Nyakane, Malherbe, PSDT, Lambie and Serfontein. Hell that's 16 of the 23 I am fully on board with and 19 who keep up the smile.
The only negatives are Louw, Jannie, Pienaar and Alberts.
Bring on the true Boks, we are getting there slowly but surely....Hell by the QF it might be 23 out of 23. 
It's the first time in ages that a Bok side put a smile on my face. 
I feel for Scotland

Damian did little against NZ. So far the ball has died on every Damian carry.

 So DF
You claim that De Allende did "little against the AB's".  That is really one of the sad jokes of your contribution on this site.  You absolutely is addicted to write sh!t on the site and believe you can get away with it.  What does doing little mean in your view in any event?
So now "This is where our campaign dies sadly."  Are you predicting a Springbok loss in this game,   So let us have your prediction stating clearly that Scotland will win the game and by how wide a margin the Scots is going to win.  A clear prediction will be appreciated for the record books.

Shut up you ignorant prick...better still fuck off.
Anything you say relating to rugby is of no consequence as you are literally the worst rugby follower I have ever come across and I am not just saying that for the sake of it. I sincerely mean it. 
I cannot take you seriously....you bore the shit out of me.
