I notice of late you have sensibly given up on Kirchner. I was just wondering whether we might see a similar shift in your staunch support for Greyling?

Kirchner? Why call Kirchner out? His boot has been magnificent in relieving pressure, always in position, brilliant under the high ball, solid on defence - putting Scum Zealand's 4 on his backside. Kirchner is everything Lambie was overhyped to be, but ultimately wasn't. Kirchner is not a coward you see.

As per Greyling? Yes, it was a sad sight. Tendai was actually holding his own today, so I thought overreacted in subbing him, so too Strauss who was a real workhorse. Greyling, Liebenberg and Lambie were as white flags and with them our chances fell. Greyling though is a particular mystery. The Sharks have Bismarck as their overhyped myth, but Greyling must be the equivalent at the Bulls. He can bust over the gainline, but always loses the ball. He is a shoddy scrummager, poor defender, and with very poor temperament. I cannot see what he is supposed to bring to either the Bulls or the Boks. That said, do not be lenient on the ref, who upped the farce exactly when the Boks had Scum Zealand on the ropes.

Surely Dave you want to defend Greyling? After all he has been in your squads forever. Or perhaps you might just admit your embarrassing mistake?

Greyling was a complete idiot today. Rate him as a player but he is just too stupid for test rugby, much like Liebenberg.

You have me wrong on Kirchner, I rate him but I prefer Lambie. Kirchner has actually been one of our best backs under Meyer - but no way should he be playing ahead of Lambie

 And the Bokke supporters are still mystified as to why the refs seem to be picking on them?

Le Roux  (ear biter)

Burger (eye gouger)

Bakkies (all of the above and then some!)

Heir apparent Greyling! (Gutless elbow to McSaint's jaw whilst he was totally defenceless)

The ABs even had to bring back Kevin Skinner (boxing champ) in 1956 to protect the front row from Bok thuggery.

You keep breeding them and the refs will continue carding them. Long may you continue selecting brainless thugs!

Even though Boks lost due to very poor kicking from Morne. Greyling is a legend.... what a shot on reichie - that was worth the yellow card...

Is a team mate allowed to punch his own player? If the match was lost and Gayling punched Mccaw, it would at least have been an oppertunity to get rid of Gayling once and for all and bring in a young player to develop for the worldcup, ok wait- a player that can actually make some form of a contribution.

Gayling  gave away 3 penalties and made no contribution
