on tour. 

Meyer has stuffed up badly in this regard I would say? 

I am not talking about players who already have a number of caps for the Boks

Meyer doesn't have the conviction to back his gut instinct. He usually gives in to the fans and that stunts the Boks. Why return to Lambie? Why drop Hougaard? Why bring back JP when Hendricks has been a revelation? He needs to draw a line in the sand and stick with it.

Players must be developed at their Franchises, it is Meyer's responsibility to develop experienced players in his squad.

If you expect the national coach to do any development of any kind, you h ave to accept the concept of players arriving at the Bok squad because of their potential and not because of their abilities. The Bok squad/camp should be a finishing school and not a development school. A senior player who requires development does not deserve to be in the squad.

 Trust ou cerudunce windpomp to misunderstand matters. I AM SO OBVIOUSLY TALKING ABOUT GIVING YOUNGER PLAYER GAME TIME.THE MATCH AGAINsT ITALY WAS AN IDEAL CHANCE.WHY NO LOODT, WHY NO KRIEL. Why no Whitely or Carr only get a few minutes. Why paly Vermulen into the ground
Why no Allende. Why no Hendricks.
How amy tests have we wated palying Bakkies and we matfiled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Why bother with the guy mallet refers to as the "non scrumming looshead" Guthro.
Why was Schalk van der merwe not chosen.
Why paly oupa he is clearly not ready. here is a case  where the guy must prove himself at Super rugby.
Meyer I believe has fared badly re all this. So much time wasted on ove r the hill players.

 Beenkop I have been saying for ages Meyer is utterly useless. ....is the penny finally dropping.
We will be exiting the WC after the quarters thanks to Meyer and his selections.
It's going to be Habana, Fourie, Jean, Morne, du Preez,  Jannie,  Matfield, Louw and Alberts lining up in that quarter final

 ...Bean Brain,  have a very good 2015 RWC betting tip just for you mate if yr interested...you can thank me later for making you rich...

...simply all you have to do is.. back Manu Samoa to win Pool B....they only have to beat Japan, USA, Scotland and a tired old Bok outfit.... so piece of cake , easy money...it's a shoo in...and the returns are tenfold !!!!!...


...don't get sucked in by that team that played England yesterday as it was only their B team, with the likes of Hurricanes wing/centre Alapati Leiua , Chiefs/ Barbarians fullback Tim Nanai Williams and many more signing up...they will run circles around everyone in that pool no sweat...so might pay to get in quick before the bookies come to their senses andrealise what outrageously ridiculous odds they are offering...

Ceradyne, that's what fans have been saying for years. For mediocre players like Lambie, even ex-players and coaches say that you must play him because of his potential. If only he had a chance, he would be successful later down the line. So they would have you invest years on a hunch, because he has potential.
