Duh Allende ready to face SBW

Rassie is supposed to be an attacking guru. His analytical skills and personnel evaluation is very poor. To start Damian ahead of André is nothing short of shocking. Let's face it, he only selected Am at 13 because of an injury to Mapimpi, and because he is black. Were it not for that, Kriel would have been our starting 13 throughout the RC anyway . Rassie, a proponent of donkey ball. Watch Lügnerin defend this. 

De Allende was "something new" when he started, but was figured out very quickly...

He then lost form for quite a while...

Earlier this year though he did look a bit lighter and sharper in Super Rugby. He impressed me at times and even appeared to be a bit quicker in some games. He then got injured again and lost that sharpness. 

My biggest problem with his play is not necessarily related to his physicality, but it relates more to the mental aspects of the game. He does not read a game or the play well and gets caught out of position quite a bit. I think its either a software or a CPU problem!

O shit - the BS is back in all strength.   The wild statements read like as is normal.

First of all - there is no certainty that SBW will be retained at 12 by the AB's - indications are that Hansen will use Crotty rather than him in the upcoming test.

I actually hope it will be SBW that would play in such a case.  The last time he and De Allende played as 12 was the Blues-Stormers game this year.   De Allende outplayed SBW completely and that helped the Stormers to win the game.   Now here is a job for Pakie and AO to try and find false statements as to why it did not happen. 

The fact that De Allende would be ba ck at 12 strengthened the Springbok backline - and I do think the BS spread above should be ignored until after the game.   

Cite one example of Damian giving the Boks any kind of attacking edge. He is the epitome of sloppiness.

AO

Why should I give one - whenever I mentioned anything positive about De Allende you and Mozart tried to either ignore it or tried to lie your way around it. 

However, like Erasmus I really am glad De Allende will be back in the team.   Despite all the efforts by you and Mozart to distort his performances in the five tests he played in to show a good enough player - fact is in the five games he had two good line breaks - but for the rest he was average to poor.   

I am afraid you two and Pakie are on the wrong end here and no amount of further distortions will help your campaign on site.

Organhuffer and Moz your take on Allende is ill advised. Almost as bad as your takes on Du Toit.

Allende is a far more rounded center than what we have seen from Esterhuizen in tests.

The problems in the side listed are Kolbe and Mostert. Still hope Snyman and Nkosi are selected.

You're right Beans. He was rounded by Mike Brown, ALB for KB's first try 2weeks ago and SBW

Couldn't tackle a sturdy sausage roll.

RG Snyman has more offloads than this guy "the great slaughterer of overlaps".

Look at all those turnovers against England. He has poor ball security. Luckily the SH don't strip the ball like the NH sides do. England humiliated him. His body position and footwork are poor. Has no spacial awareness. No positional sense. André is being given a very raw deal. 

The same pathetic old baloney.  Allende is particularly strong on defence and stops forwards in their tracks. His distributions skills are also fine.

How long did we have to endure the BS that Du Toit couldn't tackle etc . Bwahahahahahahahahahahha. Ou Maaaikie has you over a barrel re Du Toit and Allende!

No more BS please oaks!

Couldn't stop SBW though? 

That clip is gold. Three of the Ooms favourites to stop SBW. 

And none knocked him backwards!!

Damian has to be shadowed by Steph, Whiteley, Pollard or someone in the area. He can't be left to defend on his own, unless it's an ankle grab from the ground as the carrier gets behind him. André stops defenders in their tracks. He can defend 1 to 15. Not only that, he catches them well behind the gainline. When is the last time we had centres who could exert pressure? Not since Jean and Fourie. Am is excellent. They make far better decisions when play breaks down. Damian and Kriel exacerbate a problem. Kriel less so than Damian. André has better skills and has actually gotten more runners free than Damian has since the 2014's debut. André hits the defensive line much harder. Damian hunches his shoulders and burrows. His ball presentation is another issue. André beats Damian left right and centre with ease. I have been documenting Damian's feeding since 2015. I'm very aware of how porous he is.

Lügnerin will never get one over me on anything. That I can assure you. He has an innate ability to pick the losing horse. Every time. You're in bad company Her Sitzsack!

One tackle miss does not tell the whole story about what happened  in the game - but that is the way some members operate on site.

Unlike  some members I have no favourites, neither do I have pet hates,

I do not define a performance by one incident in a game - I look at the game in full.   I also look at a series of games if possible before I would indicate whether the performance is acceptable.         

One tackle? Show me one dominant tackle on his own. Please do enlighten me. I'll get the reference and bring a clip if it here. 

I saw many more dominant tackles by De Allende than by Esterhuizen, which you would distort and lied about anyway.   But then why should I prove anything  to an established liar who falsified the average age of the players involved in a game and the player performances in the same game.

Xavi thanks for posting that clip.  It really resulted in another attack of Mozart lunacy - a further proof of the lunatic approach that one incident in a game is proof of the performance of a player during the full game.   The fact is that it shows a virtually total lack of comprehension insofar as the game is concerned,

He was not on his arse like Fat Fransie was in two cases of him trying to tackle De Allende.   Keep your BS in check please.  

BS - as normal with you.   The one incident fool at it again.  How can anyone take you seriously?

Where is your co-liar AO, BSter?   

You can tell how much South African respect New Zealanders, they rollout the red carpet at 12.
