I don't what I've said to spark your off topic comments but to be quite frank I really don't know what you're talking about.

Agreed, Draad. You see it too. And no, Denny, I'm keeping the word coloured in my name because what we see happening with these player's reaction and decisions making has a lot to do with whatever is going on the coloured gene pool. It's like trying to say I shouldn't call it Mauri Magic...and just say Magic. That doesn't work for me.

Hard to say, who knows, you don't want instinctive flair coached out of them - I don’t think Swys or Dawie will do that…players like Libbok, Willemse, Zas are all allowed to play there natural flair or Clayton Blommetjies….interestingly Dawie is the cousin of the old Springbok Dawie Snyman ( now in his seventies)…the younger Dawie started his coaching career under his uncle in stellenbosch at Paul Roos….then to the WP with Dobbo and ever since made a positive impact….I also don’t think Swys will do that…so Definitely a better option than the stick we have now.

Well, I've always rejected the idea of putting ethnics into boxes, never have and never will. That's an Apartheid culture, a South African thing which I've always refused to accept. But if it pleases you go ahead, not even going to try and convince you otherwise. But why stop there, what about calling the Afrikaner players 'Boeremag" and what say we call our black players "Black Power" or some other nonsensical rubbish. That way the Apartheid legacy lives on maybe not as we know it but lives it does in peoples mentality.

Nothing in it between Kolbe and Arendse at a push I’d give Kolbe the edge We have some serious attacking clout with the likes of Kolbe, Arendse, Moodie, Willemse, Libbok and Williams I’d add Gelant, Fassi, Green, David Kriel and Sacha to that list There is a lot to be excited about in the following options: 15. Willemse / Gelant / Fassi / Moodie 14/11. Kolbe / Arendse / Moodie / Fassi 13. Moodie / Willemse 12. Willemse / David Kriel / Sacha 10. Libbok / Sacha 9. Williams I would love to add Griquas outside centre Sango Xamlashe to that list but is unfortunately not getting the recognition he should be - he looks like another Am Another is Similane at the Bulls who is being ignored by stupid Jake

Oh look MPower I don't really know, you could be right but I'm just a little bit wary of so called SAFFA backline coaches......and that's based on what I've seen from Bok backline play since re-admission.

Yes, Dentsie. Orientals aren't over all the best at Maths and we can soon expect a white guy to break Bolts record. I'm also sure Swedes can traverse the desert as easily as Bushmen and that the Bushman will cope just as well in cold weather as the whities do. Get real man.

"either with soda water or neat on the Rocks"

A friend of mine was working in the USA...years ago...went to a bar and ordered whiskey with ice...the barman poured the whiskey gave him the glass and a bucket of ice and said "here, you fck it up yourself"

Yes Draad you can see it that way…a couple of neat ones is not bad, but I can’t imagine drinking neat whiskey on a hot SA day without having something cold in it : ) I will have to go lie down after the Fourth or Fifth neat shot….in a cold place like Scotland, when it is snowing outside, it will go down better neat.

Which whiskey do you like Draad? I like The Famous Grouse or Chivas Regal….Chivas Regal is when I have extra money to blow : ) another good whiskey I like, is Paddy’s.

Jameson or Johnny Black...but only once in a while...I prefer beer...my brother distills all his bad batches of home brew beer...has made quite a few unexpectedly good whiskies. ...takes forever though.

Johnny Black with ice is a winner.

Drinking whiskey with ice reduces the flavor release. Leave it alone and drink it the Scots way, covering a centimeter of the bottom of a dirty glass.

Highland Park is my favorite, with a Lagavulin or Laphroig as a change of pace.

Arendse was brilliant in the Bools game yesterday ….the way he took the high ball off Gelant for example. He’s a try threat from anywhere on the park.

This thread is proof that talking about SA backs can drive you to drink.

1. Lagavulin2. Smokehead Sherry bomb3. Benriach4. Singleton 155. Glenlivet 156. Inchmurrin 18
Most over 15y should be over the ethanol undertones.
1 or 2 small ice cubes, with whiskey stones, or one bigger ice cube.
