That would explain a lot if Red Rose is CC - both absolute useless cunts

I love the way we complain yet we are world number one and we are WC champs.
So what if we just win? It’s a win
Did we not put the English away in the WC final what about the second test against the Lions?

We are world number 1 right now
Only a fool would predict a 20 point win over Wales - that never happens
The Welsh side is a good one that happened to have a poor 6N but that does not suddenly make them a shit side and a pushover
We struggled in the RC as we did not have Rassie on board

Rose, don’t call DDA dumb.
Inanimate objects can’t be dumb as there is no criteria against which to measure their intelligence.
Am is the most average 13 one could imagine. By that i mean that he is closer to being 50% than anyone else on the scene. I do reserve judgement on him slightly because the dildo beside him has never given Am one game’s worth off effective ball OR support.
Mapimpi is similar to Am. His best moments were a try against Japan and his chip to set Am up in the WC. He’s better under the high ball than one would expect…but he ain’t no trailblazer. In some eyes, being ok but likeable is enough.
For my money, the Bok 12/13 are bog ordinary. They create little and rarely seem to be able to continue the momentum that the pack ignites.
What boggles my mind is that Rassie and co will experiment with the pack to no end. But they seem afraid and reluctant to just try a different combination in midfield. The most experimentation they’ve done is to slot Pollard in at 12. Hardly breaking new ground.
One would expect this type of support for generational type players like Eben or Marx. But not even Marx, a shoe-in for the best SA 2 of all time, gets the type of faith placed in him that DDA does.
I could be wrong here, but DDA must be the most capped Bok over the last 7 years? I can’t think of anyone else that may have more caps than him over that period. If not the most caps, he must be a very close 2nd or 3rd.
So i’ll ask again…where is the highlight reel? Where are the game changing moments? Where is the direct evidence to support the faith that DDA has seen?
The best i get from people here are answers like “if you can’t see his value than you don’t know rugby.”
Well, i know what a clean break looks like. I also know what good defence, passes, support runs and tries look like…and i don’t see them from DDA.
On Saturday, DDA made two clear bad choices. One was his grubber to put Cheslin in for the try. A 3 vs 1 and he decides to grubber. Granted it was well executed and a try resulted…but betting your last money at a casino isn’t a good choice simply because you won.
And then his final brain fart to kick the ball away in the dying moments.
So here is the challenge to the DDA supporters. Show us that the emperor is actually wearing clothes.
…or just talk us through exactly what you think was going through DDA’s mind when he kicked that final grubber into touch. Before you do so, take note of the fact that everybody in the Bok team was aware of the time left in the game and the need to hold on to the ball. There is no universe where that makes sense and the simplest answer is probably the correct one…the man is a PLANK!

I’m still waiting for the DDA fans to enlighten me.

Lol DA…me and Dave are safe. The man is Doors fan.
Best way to start a fight in England. Say you prefer The Doors to the Beatles.
