Flo has retired

Set up the win over Wales when the scores were tied at 66 minutes....he is in the chain of match winning contributions that secured the WC.

old news...

He announced this on the day the Boks won the world cup. (via his Twitter page I believe). 

Duplication 

The fact is that in his prime he was the top loosie - but in the last two years he became a bench operative with rare showing of what he used to be.

I understand that his present contract with Bath is on a year-to-year basis.  Will that means retirement from club rugby as well?   

Contrary to some, he was never among my "favourites". I still maintain that Brussow was the more talented player, but, Louw produced. He debuted under De Villiers, but only began to truly shine under Meyer. He was in many respects the Jaque Fourie of the back-row. He ended the 2015 World Cup a comfortable second for pilfers and always made telling contributions. I'm not talking about doing some good things in a game, I'm talking about contributions which directly gave the Boks a competitive advantage. Were it not for him, we wouldn't have even been in this year's final. If that isn't the mark of a great player, then I don't know what is. He did that from the bench, showing that even with a few minutes a great player can standout and produce. I don't see anyone that can replace him as of yet. 

But for De Allende we would never have been om thee WC final.   LMAO 

That was the only try scored by the Springboks in that test and converted - 7 points out of 19 .  There was no way De Allende did not force his way over the tryline - contrary to your normal BS as to what actually happened.   Another smack  in the face and the egg mountain over you is growing. LMAO     

Who won a turnover preventing Wales from taking the lead late in the game, thus saving the game? Your dishonest is in playoff form.

Who said they would have taken the lead anyway - dimness.  It was an assumption that was never proven.   

The English was even nearer to scoring for about 10 minutes in the game on Saturday and never scored a try.       

The Boks weren't controlling that Welsh game. It was quite open. 

Not sure about that - the Welsh only managed to score one try in the game and there were serious question marls as to their scrumming before the try.  

They had numerous opportunities in that game. That they failed to capitalise on those opportunities is another matter entirely, but opportunities they were. As it was, both sides were largely inept. 

So did the Springboks - but they made oodles of ball skill mistakes in the process,  But aside from that the Springboks won dimness and went through to the final where theyw iped the flkoor with the POMS.
