Sacré bleu! In light of the past few months, I simply couldn't pass this up. 

Maybe your receptivity to the fates only increases when you are Linda, in your witches garb.

Three years ago there were a lot more people that agreed.

In 2014 and parts of 2015 he was good for a player at that stage of his career.

His ceiling was just a lot l ower than anyone expected.

For the Boks, he was atrocious in 2014, and in 2015 he was worse in Super rugby than he was this year at any point in the season, only reaching his best performances in the WC. Which wasn't great, but better. As usual, it's taken the rugby public an age to catch onto the obvious: H e was never a great player. 

By the 27th of September he had already played 5 tests, including the RC disasters. The writing was on the wall early. To say he was going to be an all time great in 2015 is hilariously optimistic. Even better, a great amongst all time greats.

You have to be able to count before you can lose count.

Well those were the days Carbuncle wanted to play Allende outside Maakniks Boshoff.

I never change my posts. I stand by every word. You need better glasses. Or at least, you should count to 10 before posting. You work yourself into a frenzy; many errors ensue. Half the time you can't even keep track of what you yourself have posted. It's all part of the fun, so don't feel the need to change. 

Whatever happened to Boshoff? Seemed to fade into thin air. I recall the hype in 2014, before Pollard made his Bok debut. Was okay himself, nothing particularly great. Nowhere near Pollard.

That's the standard Tokkie cop out....that we change our posts. It's an admission of defeat actually.
