Bakkies Botha Performances

Bakkies Botha came beack into the Springbok squad last year and he played in three tests since his return to the squad.  His combined statistics for the three matches were as follows:-

The question remains is that what is expected from a top international lock?  

*   He passed the ball three times and in 14 ball carries he made a net gain of 5 meters in carrying the ball. 

*   He off-loaded the ball once and lost ball possession twice

*   His missed tackle ratio is 33.3%

*   In three games he took 8 line -outs - two opposition throw-ins against the substandard Scottish locks.

If the above is taken into account it is clear - he is way below the standards expected from an international lock and it is beyond time he was replaced by a better performer.     

Bakkies has been average in every test he has played.......adds no value any longer for his body is past it.

Gone are his enforcer days, Lood showed exactly how an enforcer is to play......it was chalk and cheese stuff.

Bakkies should not be anywhere near the Bok side  

Hahahaha......the pathetic wriggling of a Katvis on the hook. Just a pity Bakkies made the TOW last week.

But then there is the usual lie....Bakkies scored a try last week and galloped for a whole bunch of metres. That's not in your stats is it?  Now you can tell us it wasn't against test class opposition. But remember you predicted that team would thrash the Boks.

Carry on deceiving.

Bakkies has been average at best, a shadow of his former self......no longer carries any clout as an enforcer.......Lood, Etzebeth, du Plessis, Eben and PSDT have left him in their dust.

But feel free to point out Bakkies's positive contributions......the Youtube footage is there for all to see........him making TOW is a joke, much like Matfield making it as a 4 this week........these clowns don't have a clue  

Moz will you be saying the same after we play sides like Oz and NZ?

I never said Wales would beat us.......I said I hoped they did, for I cant stand the current direction Bok rugby is taking. Its reached an all time low for me when I want the opposition to beat us only to teach our idiot of a coach that investing in a whole lot of 30 plus year olds is so obviously bloody wrong.......if you cant see that, I really feel for you.

Do you honestly think this geriatric Bok side is going to challenge the AB's for the top spot......hell imagine if we had been playing the AB's in their second half  performance against England......they would have slaughtered us.

Right now, the current Bok side is worse than Oz, NZ and England......these sides would and will beat this current Bok side.........if it was not for the one man Willie show, who knows where we would be

So if you were ranting at Bakkies:

"He passed the ball three times and in 14 ball carries he made a net gain of 5 meters in carrying the ball."

Explain why your man Lood, who you said had a great game, made 3 metres in 7 carries?  

You guys are so tied in knots trying to make your case....you contradict yourselves in every post. You blew it....just do like Genecut and admit you were wrong.
