EOYT squad

Shame ... so that's our best, huh?

What a mess!!

Quotas galore.

Really decent squad but can see at least half of the team not being picked by our brave coaches. 

My only question, 

Why keep picking Janjties, the guy needs to sort his life out and start playing decent rugby that he can be judged on before picking him. Not try to play him into form during test matches. 

I would go as far as picking an all out URC based team and then the others as reserves or on the bench. 

1. Kittshof (Ox)
2. Mbenambi (Marx)
3. Du Toit (Malherbe)
4. Etzebeth
5. Moerat (No decent locks in URC teams)
6. Coetzee (Kolisi)
7. Louw
8. Roos
9. Hendrikse
10. Goosen (If fit and performing)
11. Arendse
12. Willemse
13. Moodie 
14. Tambwe
15. Fassi

With respect I think Jantjies has become a liability and a bad one at that - he is and has been a failure recently.   Goosen - yes he is a good flyhalf - but will he be fit to play?    

In fact I think for team building purposes they should instead  go with younger players like Wolhuter and  Ngomeszulu and use them in the mid-week games.    I do not think Libbok is better than those two - he is another Bosch and Robert du Preez and will be unable to take the step up from franchise to international level.     

We in future cannot rely in 2023 on only Pollard and Willemse as flyhalfs - we need back-ups to cover the position and I believe Ngomezulu and Wolhuter are the answers.              

Good Squad but Kriel should get Lost....he does nothing to justify him in the Squad...agree completely on Kade + Sacha and Jantjies should get his act together quickly.....like the fact Jenkins, Ruben and RG is in Tour Squad.....these guys are good.

Definitely not Kriel... pls show me 1 useful thing he did in the absence of AM?? If there was something I must have not seen it??

oh dear ... everyone seems to think this is good squad.

the mediocre have become our "good" squad.

i remember when a good starting 15 looked like this.

beast, smit, jannie, bakkies, matfield, schalk, juan, du preez, butch, habana, de villiers, fourie, pietersen, Montgomery 

now we are stuck with the jantjies of the world ... with kolisi, de lindy, willemse ... du toit ... bongi, lood, dweebs, gelant ... and everyone gasps in wonder at our depth.

how things have changed.

Kornbobblers still doesn't fucking get it. Cc still doesn't get it. In absence of a shitty Pollard who hasn't had a good game in about seven years you think Jantjies is a quota. Fucking hilarious. Some get a pass others get shit on but in the end you are all bigoted towards some shit that really doesn't pass what you say are "high standards". Kwagga is the ONLY absolute world class player and yes Kolisi is now a quota because of how well Kwagga is. Marx is a GOOD player... not a complete player... So he fucks up and this gives others an opening. Marx is better at the breakdown but Bongi is the better overall player in general play. Marx defends like he has the upper body of a coat hanger. Gets fucked a lot on defence. Roos??? Fucked in the ass by the Wallies. Does he deserve anither shot? Not yet because Wiese outplays the cunt. 13s... Am is a bit better in defence than Kriel. Am HAD a good offload but he is really fucking shitty passing now because of the low standards of the Blocks. Any kind of squirted piss ball gets the bozos here a hard on... like Mozart and Sonny Bill De Lindy! XD! The big depth is shit. Only survive when other teams play down to your level. And that's because the coaches aren't stupid enough to play your idea of rugby which is total idiot speak nonsense. 

Dumbo Dave... 

Stupid age restriction... bands fucking up Mccaw... 

is that really your only comeback when embarrassed ... ?

you need to work on your material, Stupid.

..

Haaaaaaaaaahahahahaha!!

Thank you, Blob.

One of my favourite tries of all time.

Mine too . I've never seen anything like it at test level, not from a prop, & the 'weg is jy' hand-off to Saint Richie ..........

Never forget that try...... simply brilliant

" & the 'weg is jy' hand-off to Saint Richie"

You referring to the Bulls game..... when Ritchie was knocked clean out by B ands..... because in this clip here it is Carlos Spencer..

Hehe, you right, good spot of advocation.

Having seen that beaut of a try, Blob ... can you in all honesty say that Malherbe would have managed hauling his fat ass across the field like that to score in the corner?

How about Trevor? Lord have mercy ... would he even have managed 30m?

How about Dweebs or Ox?

Yet these are Stupid's preferred choices ... and here he is lecturing me on Richard "the freight train" Bands.

I am still convinced that Stupid's mommy dropped him on his head when he was an infant.

Moodie's try was another magic moment, but it was brief .....run jump gather sprint score...........Bands ....was on the run, from the halfway line blikseming defenders on his path to glory.

Richard Bands had his good moments and that try is a classic one....don't think malherbe can run like that, but his scrumming and Solid defense makes him better....my opinion.

"How about Dweebs or Ox?"

I can imagine Dweba doing similar...

We wasted this guy. Explosive and powerful with an attacking mindset. I'd have involved him in the B ok setup since probably his second season.

Plum ... Dweebs probably does the 100 in 60 seconds. 

Look at Marshal's desperate facial expression in trying to catch Freight Train Bands.

Every member of the All Blacks team would have caught Dweebs the lump within the first 20m.

Nah ... Bands for president is what I say.

Ja, on that highlight real Dweebs played amazing, but that was in the water down curry cup and URC early stages. Never had a chance to see how actually performs against a full strength Leinster or Glasgow team. He did play in France last year but have no idea how has been coming along. Although, he has oodles of potential. Have to agree with Saffex, got thrown to the wolves just so that the Physio can meet quota targets. 

Did you okes see what is happening with SA20 cricket picks, the quoted didn't get drafted to any team. Probably the only time a team in SA doesn't have to pick quotas as it is their money and they can choose who they want in their team. 

Just wish the rest of the professional teams would follow soon. Then we will finally see proper competition and those players of colour can finally feel assured that they are there on merit and not window dressing

Speaking of prop Tries, probably the only time bands ran at full tilt. 

Don't forget Ollie "Cheddar Melt Special" le Roux. That guy had a turn of pace for a big guy. Even sold a dummy against Scotland int he World Cup against Scotland for a clean break and to score a try. He was the ultimate impact prop. Could only play for a bout 5 min though. 

Can never Trreevvvaaa ever come close to this guy

Well all the teams selected above have a few worthy players as Springboks in them.

But Jantjies/Libbok/Goosen are not.

By the way that Bands try was the best I have ever seen from a Prop and it was fantastic to see le Roux in action once more.

Ollie was one of the best motivational players in any team that he was part of.

Tough, dedicated and inspiring player with a personality that speaks volumes.

kingcorn your cricket comment is spot on.

How some players even had the idea that they would be "BOUGHT" is beyond belief.

Still not convinced that it will result in any changes within the cricket political circles.

Dweba has been signed by the Stormers....explosive player he is,  but his Rugby strategic side must grow some more...and it's not going to grow with R&N, dobbo will do a better Job....they should have eased him in and the same can be said of Ivan Roos and Gelant......1 and 2 games for the boys and now all of a sudden they are trash??? Almost Every where in life you need more than one chance so WTF?? So many players have grown thru these bad games and became world class players, but got the chance to go at it again. 

The video showing Dweba is impressive but as it was played against weaker teams and not test rugby.

Sure he was thrown in the deep end before he was ready but the hype surrounding him was unbelievable as to just how brilliant a player he is.

But it was a case of not producing the goods to support all the hype about him when the opportunity presented itself.

Many a player has performed well at a lower level of the game but failed miserably when called upon to wear the Green and Gold jersey.

Hopefully he will get more experience with the Stormers and then and only then should he be allow game time from the Springbok bench for starters.
