So nice to listen to a great rugby chat between three intelligent, OBJECTIVE rugby men. Note who Rassie says is his center combo. I saw some comments from the anti Rassie brigade who made derogatory remarks about Allende which they reflexively do. One remarked about him dropping a short, hard, low pass in the slimy Durban conditions. The comment showed yet again how daft and biased these mamparas are. Everyone was dropping passes. but Allende, who had a solid outing, had to be singled out. Regarding Cobus Wiese and Reuben van Heerden. Cobus is 116Kg and 6 foot 5 and a half inches. he has a good game against a relatively weak Welsh side. How will he go against the big teams and Nz in particular. Also, he may not be a big engine guy like Nortje and Du Toit. Reuben weighs in at 124 Kg and is 6 foot 6 and a half inches. He has a big engine. Does well in the lineouts and works hard. He looks to be the better of the two at lock and more likely to be able to cope against the best. Paul de Villiers is getting big reviews. I appreciate the work he does. He is a intelligent player. My reservation about him is whether he will cope against the toughest packs in the world. Time will tell So onto Argentina away. I think Rassie should be selecting close to what his test 23 will be.
I agree with Mallets comments about the wee abs. It was a very impressive win. We will need our players fit and firing to win.
