Ihi.....

I enjoy your posts, clearly you are here to debate rugby, your posts are supported by facts and I hope you continue to post, we won't always agree but then again neither will we always disagree. I like the point you make about posters wanting the Boks to emulate the Wallabies and the Kiwi's....I totally agree with you that there is nothing wrong with Bok rugby when it's functioning as it should, an example of this was in 2007 under JW at the WC.....that side at it's best would have beaten any side. If Meyer can get the Boks back to doing the basics properly e.g. the set pieces and defence, supported by credible selections as well as a decent backline coach then the Boks will be fine. One thing we do know is that the AB's don't like Bok physicallity when it's functioning at it's best....I'm not sure whether Meyer is understanding of the fact....I'm not sure if Meyer is understanding of any of the above.....Meyer is by far our biggest problem.

Enjoy the board...posters like you bring quality to any forum.

 Have to agree Poly....no idea where these Saffer supporters ever got the idea that the ABs were EVER scared of the Boks.....Just ask Kevin Skinner!!

 Yes Denny its great to have ihi on board here and also warped dud as they clearly need, like all kiwis, to learn the game and grow as useful citizens of the world etc.

I began this process by pointing out to ihi that we do not want to copy nz netball style of play!!!! We want to go back to our roots and play the balanced Bok game where we have a dominant pack and backs that can score tries. The poor oak didnt know we have had great backs and backlines in the past!!!!

If the kiwis were honest a good Bok pack is what they truly fear most. Unfortunately our tight 5 became a tight 4 when wee Matfield was around - I mean a 106 kg string bean living in the backline can hardly be described as a tight forward if one has any clue whatsoever.

Under that fine coach and builder Meyer the Boks will grow as a team and the writing is on the wall for the kiwis unless the find some players to renew their afgeing cohort but even then they will battle to match the Boks. Dunedin and Twicks are the way to play these prancing, touchline skipping kiwis. Get them involved in the hard stuff and they fold.

 Hasbeeno, when did you last have a dominant pack and backs that could score tries? 1976??
