I see the Baa Baas beat Ireland and the Poms thrashed the Baa Baas. The Poms are a more settled outfit than us having played a number of matches this season.

We are in a tight spot. Injuries to players, selection quandaries, one week to prepare and exhausted payers who have been through the mill in the super 15 comp.

Then we have Mewyer and his blue/pink view of things and believing all the bulle houl be bokke.

Wha tare our ralsistic chances. Normally the poms would be no problem out her e but we are not well placed. Is it now a 50/50 ball game? 

Perhaps the question is a little premature as we need to see who is left standing after this week end and who Meyer picks but I am getting a little concerned. 
 

How good are England really?

Wow beeno you only getting concerned now?

Seriously if we win the first test it will have nothing to do with preperation or coaching. The only way we stand a chance of winning the first test is if we play combinations together that know each other and if the guys gel on the day. They have the talent to smash the English but tests aren't won on talent alone. Heynecke has been doing well with the odd chances that he has had with the players to get a eel for them. But most of this will depend on the day. It is a flip of the dice thing. If you where one of the guys that expected us to run away with it you have been under a misconception my friend.

The more players Heineke takes from one team the better the continuity will be...basically what I am saying is, the more Bulls the better...cos at least they are used to playing together....maak hulle almal bokke!!!

Unfortunately this is the things that southern hemisphere teams has got to look forward to, our super compititions last almost all year round and player fatigue sets in this will call for bigger squads for example like in american football where there is 53 players and 45 available for match day, all this revolves around the management wanting to make more money with viewerships and sponsorships. Rugby in the next 5 years will have more than just the normal sized teams it will have to expand in order to rest certain key players. But SARU will only realise this once it is to late as per usual with SARU!
