Our Bok 23 is 50% of what it should not be and our displays to date under Meyer mirror this. Let’s face it we have had two good games under Meyer and for the rest we have scraped by against mino’s for the most. Its just not bloody good enough and instead of looking forward to our displays, I sit with trepidation expecting the worst given how damn average our side is on paper.
How can Meyer get it so wrong? For crying out loud we have been calling for his selection for years only to be let down like no other coach given the high expectations.
In the starting 15………Basson, Jean, Morne, Pienaar, Strauss, Jannie, Kruger, Louw. Alberts and Vermeulen are not the best in their respective positions……some of them are not even close……….on the bench, Steenkamp, Flip and Vermaak are not the next best……..that is a total of 13 wrong selections out of a match 23.
Its beyond comprehension that anyone can actually think Meyer is getting it right. Lets talk post the Championship when we are 4-0 down against Oz and NZ with this current side that sells us well short.
I have never been more disappointed in a coach than Meyer. The likes of PDV was a clown and we expected nothing from him, we cant say the same of Meyer for he seemed to have pulled the wool over our eyes for years.
I for one would like to see Meyer sacked, he is not up to the job in terms of selections and game plans

I will answer that one with ease:-
* a dysfunctional lock combination with Kruger being toitally ineffective;
* a totally dysfunctional back row with deficiensies in both breakdown ball recovery, ball carries and defence - Just look at the Soweto stats of the three players involved last year;
* A poor inside back selection - with a one-dimensional flyhalf noted for aimless kicking and only one positive - namely kicking at goal;
* a slow and out of form scrummie as proven over the whole past year;
* and a joke in bad taste as a prop in the form of Steenkamp coming from the bench.
Thaqt should take care of nearly half of the team - and I know exactly we have had a atrosious record in away games against Austyraliasian teams since 2010 - all for the same type of reasons listed above. If we lose by less than 20 points against the Wallabies and by less than 30 points sgainst the All Blacks - it would be a bloody miracle.

Gosh "4 to 0" according to Maaik and Dave. OOm even gives me long explanations for why that occurred. And there I was thinking we beat Oz 31 to 8 at Loftus. Silly me!

What a joke - I said "away games" and you come up with a home game - against an injury-ruined Wallaby team. Just one question - can you read and understand anything???????
One more thing - we did not have the one-dimensional dolt at flyhalf we have now in that match you are referring to.
You identify yourself correctly - ":silly me". At last you have it right.

The question I asked related to Dave's "4 to 0".....you came up with a long winded explanation of how that happened. The only fly being, it didn't happen. But in a world where 1899 leaps to 2000, I suppose anything is possible.

I know in advance in comments on the loss on Saturday will be. Mozart would blame Engelbrecht (he should never have been in the squad - De Jongh should have been) for the loss - Beeno will blame the bent Kiwi Referees. Nobody could possibly blame Meyer - he did nothing wrong and he selected the two of them supported all out.
You know and I know that the squad selected by Meyer comprise in the main of players most of whom have done zilch over the past year - and they are not the best available for selection by Meyer.
There is one poor consolation - give a rogue enough rope and he will hang himself. I foresee four major losses by very substantial margins over the next four weeks and that maybe - just maynbe - SARU would realize that Meyer is not a coach's backside. .
However, you and I know that there will be a major problem and that it is entirely due to idiotic selections - but we will just have to bear the pain and keep trying to get people to realize that Meyer is not the way to go with SA Rugby.

1. Don't write the Bok off yet - note they are on top of RC table(log) and Aussies on bottom. kiwis languishing beneath the bok - apparently super coach meyer is working wonders.............................. lol
2. Ref was Allain but apparently pulled hammy and George Clancy is it... the ref politics continue.......
3. QC firming up as starting 10 with HOPEFULLY Folau @ 15 but with QC @ 10 maybe Link will mix it up and Toomua to 15 to switch with QC in defence.... who knows
4. Ill be there to support the wallabies in gold and comment on the performance of both -
Initially I though wallabies will win this easy but got a feeling bok are going to bring it.... still think wobs should be good enough to take the win.

CleanCunt we don't want you distracted.......get back to informing us on rugby matters.......we cannot begin to survive without your input........your Bok side was the laugh of the decade, why not pleasure us with your back-up side.
I suggest a google search, for we don't want you embarrassing yourself with getting the basics wrong like the hooker belongs in the scrum etc.
Please, please stick to rugby.........therein lies your forte

Rugtwat, I know you are as thick as pigshit and incapable of grasping the basics........but for the record I have never been thrown off any site. I was being moderated because I called a bunch of wankers a bunch of racist after their negative takes on Madiba........I left on my own accord.......do a search and work out what that means you stupid baboon

Other than your mangled idea about the useless Jantjies - I do sympathize wirgh your viewpoint
Have a look what problems the general public has identified in an opinion poll on the Springboks and see what moat of then think about Meyer's stupid selections approach.
