How not to amp up the Bok Bok line play. Play Morne at 10 - Fransie at 12 and Fourie at 13. You can have any wings outside those three deads wood players and nothing will happen.
The best thing they can do is to play anybody but Morne at 10 - and watch out for Jean - he is not the same player he was last year. Frankly the only player that show some ball carrying capacity in the Bok backlinein the Argentine tests - other than Willie - was De Alende. The rest was really dead wood in the last two tests.
Mozart's backline will go dead as sure as hell and that is wehere his backline selections will get us.
I like Senatla - but I think Kolbe will not make the grade - should stick with Sevens.

to makw smaller players useful you gotta have setious punch at 12and with your big nall carriers. then have lots of angles. its the only way but the centres are the big hurdle. thats where your space and deception is really created. our centres are garbage! cant come into the line at psace cant run the most badic lines and cant pass. they just bash and that means oyr speedsters have to attack an organized defensive line and get swamped. they camt handle that kind of intensity of tackling and attention. a guy like cruden would have been another gaffie fir sure! we dont lack talent wr jyst lack brains to do anything with it.

De Jongh was poor he died with ball in hand and has been average all year and at times defensively vulnerable. He is not even the answer at provincial level. Like Jordan this lad should not be playing centre.
De Allende will be good wherever he plays as he is a physical freak with good speed and skills. He is better suited to 13 than 12 as he is more a finisher than creator.
He should not be learning his 13 trade at bok level, he should have played his S15 at 13.
Make senatla a bok though

De Jongh was excellent. And , unlike JJ, he is still being picked by his province.

De Jongh was excellent - when was that? In AWOLLING from the EOYT tests in 2012? From all the missed tackles in 2013 and 2014 Super 15 - misisng on average 30% of all attempted tackles?
From creating nothing on his own and scoring tries from space created for him by inside players?
You have a De Jongh fascination for years now -- and dream up things to promote him - but he still remains bloody useless center.

De Jongh was excellent on Saturday..... The only defender Taute beat was your new hero Burger Odendaal.

JJ being rested is more and more starting to look like a sabbatical to me.....
JJ played 65 minutes in the Bulls' last S15 game on 11 July. He started in the CC game against the Golden Lions, almost a month later on 9 Aug, and played 65 min again. Started against WP the next week and played 55 min, and that was the end of him for the time being. How much rest does he need after that little amount of game time?
"At what stage does 'being rested' become 'being dropped'? ", one might ask.

JJ must leave the bulle fast unless they undertake to play him on the wing. Jan also should leave as they are busy ruining him as well.De Jongh is pretty average and really should not be mentioned when talking Bok rugby.
What a pity Meyer dropped Allende! Allende is the real deal and will prove this in time.He has to play 13 as Jan is our future 12. Great Partnership.
Actually Jan it is very clear - come to WP. Things have changed a lot and you will be much better off than at the Bulle - bulle loot isnt everything at this stage anyhow. Come to think of it JJ why dont you also return to WP?
Let' s stop the bulle induced rot!
