Now I know what happened to the site….it was moved to the Twilight Zone, a place where Mike picks Esterhozen
Oh lord, you're going to invite another essay full of regurgitations.
He is a useful loosie - he is a slow center and as such useless, I would ragrer have him as a loosie thna Useless powder puff Mostert.
The side will be:
15 Willemse 14 Kolbe 13 Kriel 12 de Allende 11 Arendse 10 Sacha 9 Reinach 1 Steenkamp 2 Marx 3 Thomas 4 Eben 5 Nortje 6 Kolisi 7 PSDT 8 Wiese
16 Grobelaar 17 Boan Venter 18 Wilco 19 RG 20 Lood 21 Kwagga 22 Williams 23 Pollard/ Hooker
No gays should Nortje be starting ahead of RG or Lood
" No Gays" your absolutely right, DDA should be replaced by AE, who is definitely a better playmaker.
I have neverr seen AE as a playmaker and I followed him for a long time - That is why he in his whole Spingbok career h was evr nly credited ith 1 try assist. W hat I often saww is that he passed balls to plsyes in worse position than he is.- he reads games poorly and is slow in deciding on strategies,
It is a major function of 12's to drw in defenders and if he is tackled he amde sure balls ae reciivred quickly ti ensure attacks can contnue, What I saw repeatedly onm S atirday si that D A;llende gets ut of the ttackle situation quickly and is in a psotion to assist i ncouontinued attaks. If AE gets tckled he s slow in getting t a position he ehe can help continue the attacks, AE n many atches here such situatons devellop. and mist of h tme rmains standing around the breakfown.
That is why even if there is a turnover he is oally out of position to defend. W hite thought e was a loosie base on his physique of a loosie where he is capable f playing a good match and Erasmus obviously is of he same opinion.
,
DDA/Kriel failed in most difficult game of 2025 this far(Eden Park). AE/Willemse and Moodie succeeded in the very next game in emphatic style.
The difference is clear, evidenced and palpable.
There's no more case for DDA and Kriel in the midfield. They're bench players now. DDA does absolutely nothing for Sacha. They never combined a single time to any effect in any of their starts together...and Sacha is the future.
It's gonna suck to see Dumbian selected for France.
Absolutely fucking spot on plum!! But of course Uncle Super Kak Praat, would rather lie and write in a Fucking Alien Language that NOBODY can understand…..
Well whether you two believe your own dreams about AE - he will not be picked at 12, If it is not De Allende it wil be Willemse, If you have not yet seen that the Sharks backline is ineffective nothing will ever wake you up.
The French have very good centers who will run cicles around AE and that will lose the match for SA, Erasmus kniows what would happen and if Esterhuizen is selected to play against France it will be in the loosie bench position.
Dumplum and even more MP Dumbness - the Eden Park game was played in very poor weather coditions and h match was lost because Wilie gave away an early try. and the orher try scored was a foul-up in defense on the wing. Another problem was that Polalrd had a very poor game himself and tha blunt atacks by backlne players,
I would rather look at the Sharks match against Ulster where the forwards was in full control and the 11, 13, 14 and 15 playes got no balls to play with.and how a try was scored because Esterhuizen missed tackle. If a player under-performs on URC level - he will be destructive on test level.
