My Bok side to play Ireland

We were more than a bit lucky in the end.

Well all I wish to say is that thankfully Mostert was available for the last RWC and as usual always delivers a 100% effort.

Between him and Smith you could not ask for two harder working players who lay it on the line game after game.

Two outstanding Springboks who fortunately do not meet the low standard that some bloggers accept or expect.

Pity.

But can find a reason to select Moerat...I ask you.

Beast. 

He went totally under the radar for most. Alongside Eben, quietly building the most successful lock pairing the Boks have had in the pro era. 

Do we all agree on the highlighted part? 

Won two world cups…can’t argue most successful lock combo ever. I’m trolling through these oldies because there is a dearth of new thinking lately.

Packing behind Ox, Mostert was clearly very physical . ….oh hold on, Ox dominated all our opponents with no drive behind him.

No prop could function with a deficient lock behind him. And frankly Ox is at his most dominant in the Bok pack.

No they switch for the Boks. And that’s been the protocol for a while. We put the big man behind the tighthead.

But in fairness, in the RWC Snyman was behind Ox in most matches.

Dave please post the video of the Georgian fullback….you use it so often we deserve to share your joy.

..

Mostert fetching, Mostert driving through mauls, disrupting Lions’ lineouts, ankle tapping backs in space……this guy is a contribution a minute.

Dave I would never accuse you of lying….I would just like to see the circumstances.

What a player that #5 is, he is everywhere and made some excellent plays.

Only the blind cannot see it. 

WHAT AN EXCELLENT SPRINGBOK LOCK AND PLAYER.

Geez Dave Eluckmiss dropped 6 of your starting team….do you accept the Genius is right?

I remember the failed cleanout on the Georgian back. Just don't remember enough of it, memory paints its own pictures, but it did happen. I'll trust Dave that it was Georgia.

no footage of him physically imposing himself

Gee Dave, look at him making meters through each of the first two tackles in that video above. Watch him drive through the ruck to effect a possession turnover at 3:00 in the video. You don't want to see it, you ain't gonna see it.

Well I assume all the Lions players he man handled in the above tape were stronger than the Georgian fullback. So I assume we can forget about that unverifiable incident?

He prefers Willie because Fassi is still susceptible to making big mistakes. And Willie sees the field better than any other Bok.

Kriel is now our lead center….Am will get back at some point for obvious reasons …not now, because Kriel is part of the defensive fabric.

Libbok is a loser…..we won’t see much more of him

Bongi is preferred for obvious reasons.

Kwagga is better than Roos at this stage.

Mostert is our biggest contributor and fills the gaps left by Kolisi and Dud.

Dave you really should accept  the verdict of the genius….watch the Lions tape. See the Lions wing beat Am and Mostert cover tackling bring him down with a brilliant open field tackle. Watch him pull off the turnover under pressure we have waited in vane for Dud to make, and they are the same height.
