Pollard is our only test quality flyhalf playing in the S15... Lambie is a backline killer and a player whose teams inevitably lose. Witness our second ever loss to Wales and the Sharks before his injury. ....Jantjies is mentally fragile......and Goosen is fragile physically.
.......no doubt there will be much whining about that view, but only Pollard would have a chance of making the AB team.

For a country suffering during the Morne years as our test flyhalf - the present scenario is healthy. Mozart said only Pollard may make the AB team - but Morne cannot even make his Club team as regular starter - so we have advanced over the past year into a sounder environment insofar as flyhalfs are concerned.

Lambie conspired to lose us that test against England. He achieved nothing of note. He puts pressure on backlines with his deep and short alignment and very slow, floating passes. He cannot make decisions, very passive, he cannot tackle. He was run over all day, just as he has been in every other test. You take a player like that out of the #10 jersey and put him at fullback where he belongs, just like Goosen. Both are fullbacks, will never and have never succeeded at 10. Lambie did squat against Australia except run into open space. Anyone could do that, dare I say it, even you could do it.
Now onto Jantjies. He has a history of struggling against the big boys and has never taken the step up to test rugby. He is playing as a cog in a well oiled machine, just as Goosen did 2012.
Morné and pollard are our only proven test 10s. With Morné having a more measured and calmer distribution game and Pollard more abrasive and willing to run at the defence. Between the two we have everything we need. In the others we have virtually nothing, just hope in Jantjies.

Shall I drag up the footage yet again? The worst 10 performances last year was that of Lambie, fact. Goosen did nothing on attack or defence bar one fortuitous run that did not get him smashed like the other he attempted. Even at fullback he floundered. An d Jantjies is at best a maybe.
Do you always pick the duds? Mozart is right, your list increases annually, list of flunks making your team!

What a statement to make about duds by a person who constantly praise proven duds as top performers. The list is endless - Kirchner, De Jongh, Fransie, Morne, Alberts, Matfield, etc. Matfield was tops 8 years ago - at present he is a flop.

Pfffffhahahaha! This from Bozo who reckons Zane Kirchner is an international superstar while Richie McCaw was never among the top 5 fetchers in the world at any stage of his career!
LMAO!
I sincerely believe that LeTwat is the biggest idiot we've ever had to put up with on these boards. Thank goodness the clown takes himself so seriously because that does give him some comic value . . . his one and only redeeming feature!

None of the players you listed are duds. At best Alberts has intermittent quiet games, something I was the first to mention before he made his Bok debut in 2010! Stay with the times Michael, even though you are a weary ol fellow. But your picks and "analysis" have been flogged to death, brutally exposed. Everything a lie or plain wrong. So bold you are then for one with zero credibility.

They are all present duds in performance. That is an indisputable fact.

Indisputable, yet debunked. I know it eats you up inside that you cannot prove your point. I know that you would so desperately turn to video footage if you could. It must be exhausting spinning new lies each and every day, emotionally exhausting knowing that you are lying but suppressing your conscience and trying to convince yourself it's true. Maybe it is, or maybe it's a well drilled habit? You tell me. Either way, the jig is up, and the only tool left is the mud sling. Another well ingrained habit? I pity you Michael.

He also put pressure on his outside backs and was run over in every instance.

Everything Lambie did in that England test. An exposé extraordinaire.

Dave
It is not worthwhile reading the drivel posted by Letsal. I read it and then has to stop since I cannot stop laughing. What he writes is so far removed from reality it is unbelievable.
It is the same as Mozart wrote about how wonderful Morne was in the 2013 Ellis Park test - a situation so distorted that is is difficult to separate truth from fiction.

Yes. But poor as he was against the Poms, he was worse against Wales....totally outplayed by Biggar.
