Moving forward

I was thinking exactly the same over the weekend Saffex. Who should we really select in the team. 

That said, I don't agree with Mpimpi or Kolisi remaining in the team. I know you rate them but their roles are very restrictive. I know pimps have a fantastic rags to riches story, but that story has now been written and it is time to move on. The same can be said of Kolisi, he simply hasn't showed the same form as last year and should also be put on notice. 

I think we should bring in the form wingers from the URC such as Zas or Tambwe. Nkosi is another good prospect but he has been battling injury and form this season and had a few poor games for the boks. 

Then we still have Fassi, but also massive dip in form. 

On Fat (Belly Flop) Frans Malherbe. The oke either need to gain some muscle and much fitness or start looking for his next camp, fat camp that is. 

I still believe it is a crime that Coetzee is not even near the squad. 

My back 3 would be Kwagga, Roos, Du Toit with Coetzee on the bench as he covers all 3 positions 

I thought you said you wanted to select merited players of colour?

Kolisi isn't a merit selection. Not even close.

We need a specialist openside flank to contest the breakdown. Kolisi doesn't know how to play at 6. Please tell me what he brings to the side? Even his on field decisions are being taken by Etzebeth. 

Relying on Marx to do his job for him makes no sense.

Kolisi is a passenger. Select someone else. 

Pieter-Steff Du Toit is also not worthy of the jersey. We need a Juan Smith type ... a Willem Alberts ... aggressive in the loose. Not just a line jumper.

I would prefer Mostert in place of the weedy Lood.

De Lindy would not make my squad ... never mind my match 23.

I prefer to have the wizard Kolbe at 15.

Thomas Du Toit is a retreaded loosehead ... much like Coenie Oosthuizen. Not for me. 

Bongi and Ox are both quotas.  

Look at that list of players you want to bring into the squad. They rae all players of colour. How come?? Do you have something against the white talent in the country?

Dweeb is useless. We saw that clearly on Saturday 

Why bring him in? Charity?

Gelant? Wow!! Rather have brainfart Willie starting at 15.

No ... I don't like you team at all. It's what Rassie would select.

You didn't answer my questions, Stupid.

I repeat ... do you have issues with the white talent in the country ... and  ... what does Quota Kolisi bring to the table?

Let me know if I have to dumb the question down a tad for you?

Regarding me posting as Red Rose ... if you were awake you would have noticed that I changed the name to Mrs Searle ... and no I haven't given up posting as her ... I'm just a little tired of logging in as her '... and then logging out to log in as CleanCut ... it's irritating.

I'm sure you understand. 

I'll see how I feel later about posting as her.  

Now in the mean time ... answer my questions, Stupid.

CC is a strange fish.

Once told me I was a potty mouth when I called someone a pr..k. Now he confesses he indeed is Red Rose ("Mrs Searle")...the biggest potty mouth of all.

But I don't think his argument of quotas is racist at all, fair selections should be based on merit alone, a comment you also made when Marx was not the starter hooker ...in fact he rates Itoje above Etzebeth, if he indeed is Red Rose

I think his rugby comments are fair although not all of them I agree with.

However I'm still not convinced he is NOT Red Rose...he enjoys throwing red herrings around.

CC appears to be a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde personality.

Aaaaaaaah ... I see!

The question is clearly too difficult for you.

Not to worry ... I wont push it.

You'll probably conjure imaginary moves for Kolisi like you did for JJ Engelbrecht.

Yes Monster ... I agree ... PSDT is a far better lock than he is a blindside flank.

It "appears" to be more than the number of non-white players- it is also about black representation all over the team.
It can't be seen that certain positions are reserved for white people. 

So, the Boks can't have a front row that is all white- especially if two locks are white. The All White 5.

Black people can have over-representation on merit, but they can't have underrepresentation on merit. 

Black Lives Matter, Strategic Transformation Objectives, reverse discrimination etc. 

DudToit had one meaningful game for the Boks…theWC final. Stupidly Eddie chose George Ford and Dud was given the task of rushing Ford which worked  like a charm.  

He can’t fetch, his tackling in space is poor. He runs upright and is easily put away eg by Barrett on his intercept….his metres per run is always low. He is a lock.

Dud has one trick which is the pick and go which occasionally works. He needs to go back to lock, but off the bench. Unfortunately as a lock his lineout ball is not secure as we saw again on Saturday when Frizell took his ball.

Of course he is, Stupid. 

A superb blindside flank. 

Right up there. 

Easily on the same level as Kolisi, right?

Well I think he is.

Again with the drivel about the starting position.

SA rugby rely on attrition to hide they can not play rugby.

The starting line up changes nothing to that as NZ backstabbed SA rugby by adopting the same attitude as SA rugby.

The early NZ game plan was simple: confiscate the ball and do nothing with it, let SA rugby work to gain the ball back and do something with it.

A cruel method. It worked though.

As NZ refused to play rugby, it pulled the carpet off SA rugby. Attrition could no longer be applied as it is used to.

SA rugby rely on their opponent's willingness to play rugby to make the efforts to play rugby costier.

NZ managed to score through sparks and bursts. It was over.

SA rugby can not play rugby and with an opposite side that refused to expose to attrition, nothing was left.

Clearly there has to be 7 players of colour in the starting line up - this was evidenced by the Marx/ Dweba debacle

Clear as clear. As shown by the starting line up two weeks ago.

Dud Toit was not brilliant…almost took us out of the WC by getting trapped on the blindside which resulted in the Welsh try. People often talk about his engine, how he is always there….but nothing happens. How many balls did he try to steal on Saturday…..maybe 8….did he succeed once or  force a penalty. Nope.

And Kolisi is a sporadic performer. He was completely checked out on Saturday. He also can’t fetch. So neither of your approved flanks can compete for the ball. Nor are they great hardyard runners, nor are they strong open field defenders.

We have two very flawed flanks covered by Marx and Vermeulen on the deck. Hard yards running goes to the robot Dud Allende.

Because you say so…..we were losing the Lions series while Dud was on the park. The moment Duhan splattered him the  Boks started to win. Dud’s Bok record as a starting flank 16 wins and 13 losses…wins including Japan twice, Georgia, Italy, Scotland and the Bargies several times.

Against decent teams the Boks have a significant losing record with Dud at flank. Playing NZ , Oz, Wales, Ireland, England or the Lions we are 9 wins/12 losses with Dud at flank. Coincidence? I don’t think so, but it’s very hard to say Dud at flank is a key to our success.

Think he did better under Harrassmiss….we have 9 wins and 8 losses against top opponents under Harrassmiss when Dud is at flank 

Twelve losses against top opposition….out of 13 in total. The other loss with Dud at flank…you guessed it, Japan at the 2015 WC.

You keep dreaming, Stupid. 

You know as much about rugby as I do lawn bowls.

In fact I probably know more about lawn bowls than you do rugby.

Your puny little brain isn't capable of spotting talent. 

The mere fact that you genuinely rate Kolisi as something special says it all. 

You just can't help yourself.

I feel sorry for you, Dave. To watch a rugby match and not know what you're looking at is so sad.

You've missed so much over the years.

Rugby is a special, beautiful game but sadly it's not for everyone. 

You should consider following a different sport. Something a little easier for you to grasp. 

Try lawn bowls 

Funny how the world cup winning team always receives the team of the year award. It wouldn't matter how many times they got thumped that year.

Funny how the player of the year is always picked from the world cup wining team. It wouldn't matter if he had a shocker all season long or whether he was injured most of the season.

Funny how the coach of the year award always goes to the world cup winning team's coach. It doesn't matter whether his win/loss ratio for the year is 0 wins with 12 losses for the year. 

Stupid Dave uses this as proof of the brilliance of PSDT, the Goats and Rassie. 

Hahahahahaaa!!

It's simply to complicated for Stupid Dave to work out.

Is there anyone on here as thick?

Lol @ Monster

As I said, Stupid ... rather go cheer for someone playing lawn bowls.

It's far less complicated.
