Nee wat ou Beenbal, I am man enough to admit that I do not have the knwoledge to sit down and select a team. I just do not have the finer knowledge to do it. Unlike you, I understand that it is not as easy as pick the three heaviest front rows, followed by the two heaviest locks and the three heaviest loosies and give them a bok jersye each. I am just a rugby lover and like to watch the games, have some fun about it, and when the game is over, it is over. I do not break the furniture blame the ref and swear at the everybody when my team has lost. I watch to have a look at the game or highlights of it again, and makie my observations. Then, as soon as there are a bit of stats available on the internet, I like to compare that with what I have seen. This is normally where the fun and games start because then we have the stories about this player that and that player this, etc.
You, for instance have now got Vermeuelen in "your" Bok team, but have you really thought it through. I mean apart from, OK he weighs "116kg and he plays for the Stormers". If you have to be honest with yourself, can you really motivate who, at this very moment and with the amount of rugby played, has proven that he is so much better than Pierre Spies that he should replace him. I am not talking about sweeping statements like he disappears when his pack is on the backfoot, and all that kind of crap.
Coenie Oosthuizen has not played yet, and the last time he played he was not quite shithot from what I can remember.................. Oh shit, sorry I forget he weighs a ton and a half.
Fact is that it is waaaaay to early to start talking about a Bok team at this stage, and there is nothing we can do about that.
It is also no use saying:"Ja but last year this that and the other" That is history. New Coach. New approach to the rules. New players surfacing.
