Well Peeper, as the guy who sneaks on posters kids Facebook accounts you would know about devious, cowardly behaviour.

Ag Moffie, you shot your mouth off, you were poved wrong and now - because you're such a pompous and conceited old fart - you can't admit it.

I would have said everyone else can see it but I see at least one of your Gimps is supporting you . . . so hang in there.

If you ever summon up the courage, put up the time stamps that support your claim that Fassi got run over or else admit you were wrong. It's that simple.

Moz how the fuck can not getting to a guy receiving a cross kick who happens to be miles ahead of you and being handed off from behind after the attacker was already effectively past you amount to a lack of physicality Geez man this is laughabl. Had he actually been run over then you might have a point but.......

Well let’s examine the facts...in both cases Fassi was left sprawling on the deck after making significant contact with the player. And the try scorer moved way past the point of tackle. Ergo ....run over..... ‘hands him  off’ I believe was Dave’s term

On review I would call the first try ‘brushed off’ and the second try ‘runs over‘.


And I would call his 66% tackle success rate ‘alarming’.

Complete bullshit Moz he never comes close to being run over Being handed off hardly counts when the attacker is past you given the line he ran and you are left grasping with no chance of getting a purchase to stop the guy. Being handed off from behind is very different to front or side on unless of course you are right on top of the player His tackling stats are not alarming they are the norm, even your hero Frans Steyn has no better a defending record Moz you are speaking shit and you have made a bit of a mess with this whole ‘run over, assertion Fassi is pure class - he is the best fullback playing Super rugby right now

Dave you say Willie is hardly the greatest defender.....but he tackled at 88% through the WC knockouts. And you say “Fassi makes most of his tackles”....but in the last 4 matches he has made 66%


And after that garbage  you have the gall to quibble between a man was ‘run over’ and your own description that he was ‘handed off’.

 I’m getting bored with sorting you out on this issue. I have a 100% confidence Willie would have had the nous to stop the first try....and I have seen  Willie make some brilliant from behind tackles  as well.

Get real Fassi has a defensive problem which needs to be sorted.

Moz stop speaking crap, Willie’s defensive capabilities are not defined by the WC Willie would have made no impression on that first try as no one would have got across in time to effect a challenge Being handed off from behind by a player too far ahead of you to actually get your hands on does not amount to being run over - not even close Fassi has never been run over. His defence is on par with the rest of the backs out there but his attacking prowess is on another level He will be a Bok soon and a great one at that - it’s just so obvious

I think the best bet on this is let’s see what happens with Fassi moving forward. For me he showed real promise in his debut season last year and this season has been our most exciting attacking back thus far. I predict big things from this kid and my call is a test cap this year if we have any bloody tests

"Bullshit those stats as we have evidenced on numerous occasions are wrong"

But when we dealt with Lood's clumsy miss against Australia you insisted that the stats were never wrong. That only a f'ing a-hole would be so arrogant to question the stats. Who was I to think that I know better. Interesting how you change positions so readily. You are a total flake Dave, I have you pegged as a total snowflake. You even fought against video evidence of the miss which puts you in the same boat as Liar Mike.

If Fassi goes low for the second Jag try then the player still scores, only a dominant head on collision would have stopped that try. The Sharks were outnumbered which forced Bosch and Mapimpi to kill the attack at the Jags first reciever, quick hands beat them and Fassi was playing catch up. I'd question Ruben Van Heerden who was the cover defender but was too lax to see what was unfolding. 
What I don't like about his defence is that I sometimes see moments of hesitancy, like Lam's second try where if Fassi had the courage to tackle him the first time it would have prevented it. Granted Lam is known to bump many a player off him, it's the needed bravery and diligence on Fassi's part that will make him into a test standard player.

Most exciting young talent in the country . . . missed of course by the most stupid rugby noob in the country . . . the same fool who kept telling us Cheslin Kolbe was too small for test rugby.

"Most exciting young talent in the country "

He's good, but that is still a very subjective statement.

We can only judge Fassi on game defining moments and how he performs when he is under pressure 

Kolbe basically was the reason why the baby Boks lost due a very poor line kick that resulted in a counter attack try. 

Although, he has been working very hard since and now shining on the biggest stages. 

I'm not going to write him off, I hope he succeeds and is is still very young. 

We have a lot of potential at full back, Willemse, Gelant, Fassi and even Kolbe are all fantastic talent. Hopefully with Rassie and Nienabaar we can get the best out of these players

Nope, the biggest rugby fool in the country is the guy that dropped Faf from the Boks.

What ever happened to old Rudy Bladsy anyway?

We don't have the greatest depth at 15. Most are open field runners. Those struggle. Willemse is a natural 15, but when given the reigns, with front foot ball against England, he and Damian failed to inflict a dent. That was the most dominant pack display against England since 2007. Gelant, I like him most. I think he was a little under valued. However, he needs to be inserted into space. Doesn't possess the distribution skills that made the similar style of Kirchner so lethal. Kolbe is a great stepper, and that can cause problems. A bit more spacially aware.

Haha! I'd forgotten this thread when Moffie was asked to put up the time stamps when Fassi got "run over" as he claimed and he couldn't provide a single one. The clip is still there. I wonder if he's worked up the courage all these months later?

Very premature assessment. The Bok attack has teething problems, there were issues that a stronger team will more thoroughly exploit. That includes Fassi!

Fassi did well not getting ahead of Dud Toit….as it was the pass looks slightly forward, but it was short enough to not be obvious. No doubt he has pace. I was actually more impressed by his kick ahead in the subsequent move which was quite deft.

Yes, Jessie Kriel looked like he was going to draw and pass before he was tackled, but at the last moment he chose to take contact and then upload in the tackle.

It was a decent pass by Kriel, but it was very good support running by Fassi. Both tries, he could easily have run past the ball carrier creating a forward pass. 

Playing Fassi alongside Willie Leroux is a good experience. He is currently a second-choice fullback and competing with some exceptional wingers for a starting spot against the B&I Lions. A good bench player that can cover many positions, as he has also played centre and flyhalf in school.

The same thread (sic), where I prove Fassi was culpable in two tries and you were so excited to use my term, the deep dive, you forgot the time difference….LMAOFY!

But do point out where I say Fassi is slow if you want to add something new.
