It's one thing winning at home it's another thing beating or should I say thrashing the 'Tahs on their own patch. Although a great team effort there were two players who stood out for mine, one was winger Tambwe and the other Dayimani the #8. Jantjies stood out for all the wrong reasons. But back to the formentioned two, think they play to the ball and are good rugby players and also bring a ton of energy to the game. I'd like to think they're still work in progress, who knows with youth on their side the future looks good. I don't want to get too excited having only watched them in one game against the schoolboy Waratahs but I'll be tracking their performance when they play better sides in NZ to see if they can maintain those same high levels or better.


At this point in time Combrink is my Bok fullback for the simple reasons that there are better wingers around, that he has a great boot and is solid in defence.

Yes ... I agree with you Denny. They certainly are showing us what they have to offer. So far so good. Hope it continues.

Plum also suggested that Combrinck move to fullback. I like the idea. He has everything we need at 15. Thing is though ... there are a few other options like Gelant and an on form Le Roux banging on the same door.

It's nice to have a few more options than usual. We're usually so starved for talent at outside back.

If only we could find a remedy for our center issue.

Le Roux has a pap boot.....Combrinck's left boot brings back memories of Percy Montgomery.

Gelant lacks experience. 

Agree the centre issue is a concern, there isn't a standout or standouts, almost like a sameness amongst all of them, but for a lovely change we're spoilt for wings.

Players I never want to see in a Bok jumper are Dreyer, Jantjies, Bosch and Lambie.

How abut Kitshoff?

Dreyer cleaned his clock the last time they met.

Dreyer has scrummed the Beast into the ground every time they've met over the last few years.

If Dreyer is so poor, how come he's crushing all these go to guys?

So many want the Beast and Kitshoff in the mix ... but nobody wants the man that keeps thumping them.

Puzzling!!

CC, I was kinda surprized at how well Dreyer went against Kitsie and Beast, but he totally got owned by almost all opposition while playing in green. Maybe I'm wrong, but I can't see a 113kg tighthead (with a boepie) being a top test prop.

... and yet, he's cleaning up our apparent best looseheads ...

I rate van Rooyen and Dylan Smith as top loosehead props, yet they don't ever get a mention. It's always Beast and Kitshoff ... both of which have been taken to task by this small 113kg "boepie".

Another class act at 1 is that Bulls loosehead prop ... I forget his name now.

Wilco louw is our best tighthead. Question is ... who should be his cover?

Nyakane is useless. Tank is even worse. The less said about Coenie at 3 the better. All three are retreaded looseheads.

I repeat ... who should be Louw's cover?

Dreyer ... of course ... who else?

Now say you're sorry!!!!

Dreyer yesterday proved once again he is a poor tighthead and fact is he had his chances and failed miserably - so he is one player I hope never to see in the Springbok jersey again.

There is no way that we can have him - he is incapable of taking the step up to International level - just like Jantjies he is just not up to standard.

Let me guess ... Tank Du Toit is the answer ... right?

LOL!!!

No he is not - but even Nyakane is a better scrummager than Dreyer.   The latter even gave away two penalties yesterday - remind me of the large number he conceded last year.  Bad news that one.

Ok ... now I'm totally confused.

Wilco Louw is not up to test standard. He's had a really poor season so far, right, "Clever" Mike? Your words ... not mine.

Dreyer is a terrible scrummager. Crushing Kisthoff with out much effort doesn't count. Apparently Nyakane is the better tighthead of the two ... right?

Tank Du Toit ... who made your Bok team last week is suddenly not up to scratch ... well ... not this week anyway. Last week he was the man ... but this week he's not test material.

Sooo ... does that mean that Nyakane is your Bok tighthead prop?

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahah!!

Do you know the difference between your arse and your elbow, Mike?

Seems not!
