The bitterness seeps out of every pour in what is clearly a swipe at Victor. Steph is not what we should be looking to for the World Cup. I think he is probably a couple of years off from being ready for test rugby, it would be foolishness to madness building our game around him. Consider that he has been outplayed by Victor in Super rugby in consecutive seasons. No, definitely a very bad call.

Stephanie was hopeless today. On Todays performance the only 3 locks that can go to the World Cup are Ezetebeth, Matfield and LoodFoot. 
He is not ready for the World Cup. He has one more chance to prove anyone wrong

Agreed those are the right three locks....Flip Flop being the fourth, non match squad member. Stephanie coughed the ball up twice and looked way off the pace. I think Etzebeth is probably an unhappy camper. He has had his number called 4 times in 2 games by Lomp....who seems to be lined up for all the phase ball. Etzebeth is limited to pushing behind him. Why one wonders.

Du Toit is a world class talent as is Allende. Man what a lot of twaddle is being spoken. Card your take on players us way way out! Cc of course has very little clue either. In fact I feel almost alone in my sanity. Its the weak minded in melt down. This is not the first time the Boks have lost a nothing test oaks. We bettered nz and iz with a weakened squad thats what is important. Of course we have to be concerned that pap victor is still in the picture and Meyer has ignored certain players who ought to be in the picture. How the dumboes expect injured players with very little game time to come through with flying colours only they will know. Those few here with rugby acumen will assess matters wisely. Leave kbbs behaviour to kbbs I say!!!

 So De Jager is blamed for what Etzebeth does?  What a load of crap.   Du Toit is now denigrated after playing for 19 minutes.  Would the slap physically-deficient Matfield have helped today?   Bloody unlikely.   For one he would never have scored the try scored De Jager did - he is physically not strong enough.
Matfield does not call balls to go to him in line-outs anymore - he calls it to go to anybody - but him.    
And then Fransie who cannot tackle or does nothing in attacking play.    Slow and useless that one was in Super 15 and he would have been worse today.
  Who were the most disappointing players today?  By some distance Koch, Beast, Burger, Coetzee and Pienaar.  There is some excuse for Coetzee - it seems his injury was still a problem - the rest were just useless and that affected the whole team - they constantly got crap balls from virtually all the forwards and that says it all.
