Boks have been shit
Yes, agreed.
1. Team has performed badly as a unit
2. Marx needs to start. Teams need to be built around their best players to provide unity.
3. Hendrikse is the real deal, and certainly first choice scrumhalf. He commands the breakdown. Faff is faffing around.
4. Willemse has come of age at test level. He can slot into most backline positions with ease.
5. Wiese was good in the first test, but poor today. A one-trick ball carrier, no impact at the breakdown.
6. Kwagga is an all-round player, and helps the Boks compete at the breakdown
7. PDST was crap in the 2nd test, but only slightly better today. On current form, it is debatable if he is a starter on current form.
8. Scrum was not as dominant as usual, why were the top 2 choices not starting at loosehead
9 Breakdown only improved with Marx and Kwagga on the pitch. Even an ageing Vermuelen is missed at the breakdown.
10. Kolbe was getting little to no possession when he was subbed - it did not make sense to rejig the whole backline. Leroux could have just slotted in on the right wing.
In general I agree about most players. However, there is also a fact that from a competitive point of view the Springbok line-out competitiveness evaporated when Mostert came on. Tmie to move on from him and use another real lock in his place.
The Springbok backline functioned better with Pollard at flyhalf and De Allende at center than they did in the first and second test. As a backup I would rather have Willemse to cover both positions than Esterhuizen. Willemse had some real positives when he followed up kicks very well and the way he put down the ball and the Wales player holding on to him prevented a try being scored by him. That to me was worth a penalty try and a card offence by Wales - the ref was kind to just penalize the Welsh player.
I think it is time to move on from Nyakane and play Ox Nche instead. I am not impressed with Wiese - he was not good enough in both tests and I would play Roos - a thinking player - ahead of him anytime. Wiese is just dumb muscle.
I think there will be some changes made to the Rugby Championship Squad - but in the starting line-up against the AB's I would not change much to the starting team other than Nyakane and Wiese. I would drop Estehuizen, Jantjies, Nyakane and Mostert from the squad and replace them with some players who can really contribute to the team. . .
In the place of Jantjies I would rather see the Under 20 flyhalf as backup to Pollard in the squad. Was impressed by the youngster in the recent series. in Italy. I would replace Wiese with the Under 20 no 8 as well. Remember Pollard moved straight from the Under 20 team to replace the failed Morne Steyn (after the Perth disaster) in 2014 and was a great success against the AB's in 2014.

You're giving dreaming Mike. You need defence in the centres and that means Ester. No attacking is going to happen no matter who who pick. Just don't have it in the players. Jantjies is way better than pollard. Roos was ass raped not physical enough and fucking clumsy. Gelant is a must. The blocks were bullshit yesterday.
Elstat at 7. Fucking monstered the Welsh. Good defence.

Youi are starting up another piece of shit about D u Toit - either through malice or ignorance.

Willie Le Roux is the best backline play maker we have by far.
I would like to see Willie at 13 and Am on the wing. Lifts our creativity.
Wee Cheslin has done nothing much lately. I was impressed by Am's pace sprinting down the wing.
The backs had some very good moment yesterday.
Yes both Eben and Lood were very good. Need Snyman back and Mostert out.
Du Toit was solid but I see ou Mozzzz predictably having a go.
This was a good win over a battling Welsh side.
SA rugby players best players in the world.
Their hooker can not throw, their second row should be in jail for the thugh he is, their third row forward can not fetch, their half fly can not direct a game, their center can not pass a ball, their center can not tackle, their winger can not side step
SA rugby players best players in the world.
Trad you are the one saying the Boks are the best in the world.
The IRB rankings have them at 3. An honorable ranking. Yet all you have is one criticism after another. You are totally unhinged and making a complete ass of yourself as per usual. A total boring buffoon.
Wise Elstat Kolisi. That's the best trio. Could play Kwagga at 8. Gelant is the best attacker by far and Willy Plonka is fucking overrated. Haven't seen a good game from him since like 2013. I think Ester at 12 and Duh at 13. Jantjies at 10. That's about the best you can get. All your wings are fast but shyte.
Ja, Kolisi lasted a full game, one good ruck clearance, a try and a good run down the wing, but should he have been on the wing in the first place or would a winger gotten further and probable a try.
Wiese had no answer, have to agree on that one. The 6/2 split backfired.
Fat trev was a penalty liability and offered nothing in general play.
Marx did more in 15 min than what Bongi did in the last 3 test. Extra weapon on both sides with great runs, stealing balls etc.
We simply need to get the likes of Kittshof, Marx and Malherbe to start.
Happy with Lood and Etzebeth.

BUT, we need a fucking back line coach or attack coach. Stick is stuck in shit and need to go back and do the time to learn how to coach players and get the most out of attack.
Where the hell is swys
I think its pretty obvous that KornKob is Mike... same pattern of multiple postings and the language is very similar too.
The Attack coach should've happened since Swys left...the R&N Gameplan needs a update...the way Ireland played with both Forward power and backline accuracy, we would have struggled and most probably lost....AB are coming, and with them losing they will be determined to beat us...there was more activity in our backline yesterday, bit still quite toothless.
The Block backs and forwards are braindead. Not the coach fault his players are so limited. The top 5 nations are working with Milwaukee and your coach with little Poundland kid's tools.
Mozart
How accurate did you describe - you were talking shit again. The fact is that when a player is tackled any loosie or any other player worth his salt would chase to get to the breakdown point - and that is where Du Toit was heading - he would be remiss if he did not do at that point. The tackled player had his arms free and when Du Toit got near to him he managed to pass the ball to another Welsh player who ran behind the back of Du Toit to score. If Du Toit did anything otherwise like Mostert would have done he would be a shit loosie. If Du Toit was not doing what he did and a try was scored you would have blamed him for the try beings cored even if he was 10 meters away from where he was. You either knows nothing about rugby - which is clearly evident from your posting or you are just taking shit. I think both is applicable in this case.
Redrose
Is only defending when when he has to tack le players in traffic. Otherwise he si useless as a defender as he is pace-deficient. Esterhuizen has now played 9 tests without scoring a try or even being making a try-assist. He has still the same deficiencies he had because he is dumb muscle. To even think to replace de Allende with him is a dead head idea.
SB
Le Roux does not have enough pace to play on the wing. The only place he could fit in is at full back.
Red Nose your advise on who to select is wishful thinking .
We know you would love to see Jantjies at #10 if and when the Springboks play England but I think he is a done Springbok after his dismal showing against Wales in the first game.
Pollard is the #1 fly-half for SA and I would rather see one of the young and upcoming #10's as his backup.
Am is done and we desperately need another #13 to replace him. Not sure that "Essee" will be back after his poor performance as well.
Pleased with the #9 much better service to the backline and does not give away possession like Faf with his endless kicks from behind the scrum.
But on the three games against Wales I was not impressed with the Springbok performance in any of the games.
Changes have to be made in the front office of the SA Rugby Board the sooner the better.
Trust you enjoyed the "Warriors" routine though prior to the game.
Ester needs front foot ball and a chance to be a focal point. He has never had that and that's my only criticism of the coach. You gotta give the guy the SAME opportunity. Neither are great attackers.
Faf is now a fat midget with no skills. He only ever offered energy and speed around the field. He was a bit niggly and disruptive. Faffy Fuck has the shittiest skills ever. I agree that there is favouratism maybe Faffy needs to attend more braais with the coach or majke friends with political figures. That;s how it works in good old Azania.
Plum
The winning try in the first test was from a try-assist by De Allende - conveniently forgotten by you.
I agree about some of the grubber kicks by Pollard - but wat to know what E#sterhuizen produced in the second test? As bad as he was in all tests he played in before. Willemse was always attacked by site members and now suddenly he should be played at 12 - where he has minimal experience in playing. And the only time Pollard played at 12 was when he played Varsity Cup and under 20 rugby. That was about 8 years ago.
Red Rose
Esterhuizen had been tried 9 times and never made a really positive contribution in any tests he played in - he is slow and even though physically strong he brought nothing to the team on test level. Because of that the result always has been that when he carried balls frequent turnovers and penalties followed. In previous tests he had opportunities to make hay and yet failed every time. Because of pace deficiency open field tackles is beyond his capacity. The fact is that Esterhuizen failed to meet the standard for inclusion in the WC squad and when Kriel was injured the call-up was for Willemse to join the squad and NOT Esterhuizen. If he was as good as you thought he is why did that happen? My advice is ask White about Esterhuizen - he apparently belief that Esterhuizen is a better player as a loosie than he is at center. and he tried to use him as a loosie for the Sharks and he failed in that case as well.
Mozart is totally ballistic in his obsession with Du Toit and De Allende and he frequently lies about what happens in matches when they are concerned. Now Du Toit - the player of the Year on 2019 is a plodder - and that takes the cake. The attacks by Mozart ofn the two players started in 2013 and 2014. When Du Toit was injured seriously in 2015 Mozart was totally happy about the injury as was evident from his contributions since he was a threat to the inclusion of the totally non-performing Matfield for selection to play in the 2015 WC. Despite his happiness Du Toit was fit enough for inclusion in the WC squad then.
The imbecilic Meyer did not include him in any team to play at lock where he played constantly for years. In the Japan disaster test in 2015 Alberts - who never played any rugby for 14 months - was selected at 7. An hour before the match started it was found that Alberts could not play and Du Toit was included in the starting line-up despite the fact that he had not played in that position since 2012 was clearly an injustice to Du Toit whose erformance was not really good enough. However, the Springboks lost the test because of the farcical display of the Senior players in that test - nothing more.
When Erasmus in 2018 realized they have a serious selection problem at 7 - he asked the Lions and the Stormers to play Mostert and Du Toit to be used in that position. Mostert failed miserably and after three matches the Lions retureed him to play at lock - Du Toit passed the test and became the key Springbok loosie and World Player of the Year in 2019.
Mostert contribution in games has been dismal and that was the case as well on Satirday when he came from the bench as a lock. He is so useless in line-outs after he came on the throw-ins were to Du Toit and De Jager - another pet hate of Mozart and some other empty-headed idiots failing to understand rugby. . . .
Nope Willie can tackle and would set up his wings superbly.
Am has the pace to be on the wing and also has creativity.
Snapster you lack imagination and the vision to see what could be. Best listen to Beeno.
Snapster after all the many times I have schooled you and you come up with a remark like this. Bwahahahahaha.
it worked for Jacque Fourie, but he was still very young. Jessie Kriel is another convert but less successful.
Willie is 33, not sure how much ball he will see if De Alende trucks it up or Pollard or Faf keeps kicking the ball away.
Am has been sublime as link, Willie can come in and join the line when the time is right which is what he has done so many times.
He is better off playing from the back and can inject himself in general play.
Watch Swys comments on Willie and how well he does in that role. I think that is why they want to convert Willems to 15, but still give him chances to also play 10 and 12 so that he can keep his distribution game working.
I thought Willemse had some nice touches on Saturday when he was at 10 with good contact and off loading.
Where as Willie runs a beautiful arc with a great pass to get his wingers away
