I’m all for moving on now

My team ag ainst Portugal will be asz follows:

15 Fassi

14  Kolby

13  Willemse

12  De Allende

11   Arendse

10   Feinberg-Ngomezulu

9     Anyone bar De Klerk

8     Roos

7     Du Toit

6     Kolisi

5     Snyman

4     Etzebeth

3     Malherbe 

2     Marx

1     Nche

The bench can be full of youngsters.    Time to forget about players. like those Old guard under-performers

.       

No, give Esterhuizen another token one off against Portugal in an unsettled side so everyone can write him off again if he doesn't set the stage alight. Then we can go back to Mr Best Passer in the Team and watch him play thi rd flanker while stopping anything constructive happening out back for the next 4 years again.

Erasmus and Brown know what Etserhuizen is capable of and he is really fast mivng to exit from the Springbok squad.    If Willemse was available he would not have been in he squad anyway.        

There is better around than AE and DdD....why would you bother!?

Our loosies and backs need a complete makeover with the exception of Kolbe and Arendse.

In theory. Proven test 12s, not one.

Put in all the younger players. 

Have an experienced bench. 

This fixation with Arendse bothers me. He was highly ineffectual against Ireland. Useless in contesting the high ball. Ditto Kwagga.

Willemse will be a welcome return and I hope Moodie comes back soon. 

As usual HasBeen swallows the bait:

Point is, in spite being ‘ineffectual’ he generated 53 metres and beat 2 defenders….that was more than all the other starting Springbok forwards  combined. He isn’t an 8th man, but as an open sided he makes way more contributions than Kolisi. Dud Toit is a lock.

Ou Mozzietard  doesn't realize quite a few of those meters gained was when Kwagga was out in the open but was easily hauled in. Showed that the guy has slowed up. 

When you play a guy the size of a back as a forward he must have real pace.

Mozzietard wants the best seven in the game to play lock. Granted Du Toit could play lock but makes no sense right now to change him over to lock. I think Mozzie is still smarting about all his daft criticism of Du Toit backfiring on him

Mozzie lacks rugby acumen!

Dud Toit has cost us far more in terms of inept running and non performance at the breakdown, than he has provided in process tackling. As for Kwagga….his metres were gained in the type of running a loosie does. He was the only functioning loosie the Boks had playing yesterday, as the numbers clearly show.

Mozart have you seen another test than we ordinary human beings have seen?

In ny evemt that incident where Kwagga did the impressive charge down - was also when he made a silly mistake,   iinstead of  dribblng the ball - he slowed down  sunificently to pick up the ball and that was why a try has no been scored from what was an excllent opprtunity to score.  Slowing down  allowing  5 Irish players to help in defense and one of those tackled him and combined hey overturn posssesion of the ball.   The only Springbok player at the breakdiwn - Du Toit on his own he could not prevent the turnover,.    .
