When one looks at Mozart's musings about Thorne at 39 - who can still play rugby - and his constant references to past greats that should be in the team up to 10 years ago - one has to say that his preferred team for the coming RC would be the following:- 15 Gio Aplon 14 JP Pietersen 13 Juan de Jongh 12 Jean de Villiers 11 Bryan Habana 10 Morne Steyn - he is one-dimensional enough to satisfy Mozart 9 Fourie du Preez 8 Willem Alberts - same as Morne 7 Schalk Burger 6 Francois Louw 5 Eben Etzebeth 4 Bakkies Botha 3 C J van der Linde 2 Adriaan Strauss 1 Guthro Steenkamp The majority of the players punted are over 30 years of age and they were all punted as top choices during the past year. Obviusly his emphasis allows for the bottom age of 30 being the ultimate objective from the experience angle. The above allows for one thing - huge experience according to Mozart and since he does not regard performance as a criterium - they would all make the grade. That is why my friend Moart is the funniest guy on the net - he is bound to be wrong all the time.

@mikey,

i know u dont like morne, but name me one saffa flyhalf in the spXV who has been better then morne???
lambie comes the closest, and lambies been down right disgusting in 2013, only janties has been worse.
in fact, not just in the SA conference all three confernces combined.

alderts does have a predictable style, but it can be effective if hes correctly used, like off the bench as an impact player when the Bok loose forward trio is not fronting up physically.
Boks have plenty depth though and i dont mind seeing him miss out, provided its for the right player.

steenkamp,LMAO, easily the worst selection choice made by any coach anywhere.

Dear Mike,

 

I am quite sure after reading some posts of mine, that you may have gathered that I am not the biggest fan of Mozart. 

 

However, when it comes to rugby acumen and posts about players, he at least takes the emotion out of the equation (in most cases anyway), and posts some interesting perspectives on all different players.  He also does this in a minimalistic way.

 

You however post long and arduous articles, which would take a person 4 coffee breaks to just reach the third paragraph, so it's funny when you make a comment like this about Mozart.

 

Your persistent dislike of Morne Steyn for instance, despite how many good showings this season, shows just how narrow minded you can be.

 

Mozart might be a moron now and then, but to use rugby terms, he kicks you into touch far more often than you do him.

 

Have a great Tuesday

Eina !!!!

 

See what I mean Mike

 

I see Mozart has just launched you again with another massive touch finder regarding your "I did not pick Basson" comment in another thread.

 

Need some Deep Heat cream?

Hey CC

 

How you buddy?

 

I'm guessing your constant bitching and disgusting language towards Saffex is any better?

 

In your eyes I guess it is, but the beholder is not always so quaint.

 

Have a lovely evening

Devils Advocate My original pick was Mvovo and Mozart went ballistic in his normal way. He misrepresented the whole situation. I did not prefer Basson and in my latest contribution even suggested that Engelbrecht should play at wing and I stand by that. May I ask you - what is the purpose of this site? Is it not to discuss rugby issues and not to be used to try and discredit individual members. I know Mozart and was jut needling him - just reminding him which player he was punting over the past year. You are really making a fool of yourself if you think that members take seriously your opinion on individual members of this site.

Puffed up, hehehe, ok

 

I'm not sure what surprises me more, the fact that you cannot see a sarcastic post when it is directly in front of you, or the notion that you think I am somehow offended by some school playground remarks I see on here.

 

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, my skin is a little bit thick CC, especially with the likes of you and others that lurk around these websites.

 

Have a great evening my good buddy, wishing you all the very best

 

Please note the sarcasm, because I have no doubt, unless I distinctly point it out to you, you would miss it again.

Dear Uncle Mike

 

Relax Oom, I can live with making a fool of myself, don't let that concern you please.

 

You, on the other hand I am not too sure about

 

Have a great evening Oom Mike, you've earned it

I'm warming up to this Advocado. My only concern is if he takes my side of the argument, does that make me Mephistopheles? Hell, pardon the pun, this changes my perspective. Marguerite farewell!

Mozart Nice additional posting name of Devil's Advocate you have assumed. I think it is always better to have somebody around who can support you when questions are asked and the real response is to try and sideline the issue. The question is - did you or did you nut punt for the inclusion in the test team of the above players as listed by me?

Mozart Can you read English? I do think that the Devils' Advocate sounds very much like Mozart himself. He or she has the same snake-like gyrations to avoid the topic raised in any thread. What are your comments on the actual issue raised - since thus far you did your best in trying to aoid further discussion. Did you over the past year punted the players mentioned or did you not do so?

Uncle Mike

 

There is only one Advocado, and even Mozart respects that, he even types my name starting with a capital A, so please don't spoil my special moment here.

 

Uncle Mike, My intention here is not to take the spotlight away from you, quite the contrary dear Watson, so please do not feel or display any angst towards me.  I am merely showing you the error of your ways.

 

Unfortunately with you in particular, that may take a lot of my time, but alas, I am a charitable chap.
