Meyer's ideal team for the 2015 WC

The following team is taking shape with the latest announcement and those to follow:-

15   Kirchner    -  31

14  Pietersen   -   28

13  Fourie       -   32

12  De Villiers  -   33

11  Habana      -  33

10  Steyn         -  31

  9  Du Preez    -  33

  8  Alberts       -  31

  7  Smith        -  34

  6  Burger       -  34

  5  Mattfield    -   38

  4  Botha        -   36

  3  Du Plessis  -   31

  2  Du Plessis  -   30

  1  Mtawarre   -   29

Here is some real advancement - Mozart's way.   The average age of the above team would - for the first time in Rugby World Cup history - be over 31 years of age -32  years as a matter of fact.   Problem is Mozart will still be unhappy - there are two apprentices in that team and one player that has just completed his apprenticeship.

Even those can be reduced - if Meyer can just convince Monty and John Smith to return and play for the Springboks and bring back Botha.   Just think of it - we will have virtually the whole of the glorious WC winners of 200 7 in the team and we would be sure to beat Namibia and Spain in the roud-robn - glorious achievements await our national team at WC 2015!!!!!!  

and get John Smit to dust off his boots

This side is pretty close to the Meyer model.....pretty pathetic really.

Sells Bok rugby short in everyway  

Hell Moz, its more a case of had Jean, then Morne made the tackle, but more to the point, there were still 20min left in the game after the Barrett try with further points scored in that time........so how you conclude that was the end of the game regardless of who is to blame for the misses is beyond me.

Fact about Meyer is that he was poor last year and marginally better this year.......lets face facts here. We struggled to beat Italy and Scotland at home, were piss poor against Argentina away and failed against NZ twice, hardly a stellar year!   

Fair enough Moz, but as well all know Barrett was missed by 4 defenders, so blaming one smacks of prejudice

Mozart

The Barrett try was the final nail in the coffin - the question is who build the rest of the coffin?  Alberts and Morne Steyn.  Why blame Engelbrecht - while the first three tries were the direct result of the atrocious play of the latter two players?
