That Georgian team beat England but yes not a great game at all. 

France and Argentina looked the best with Fiji almost surprisng Aussie, great game.

 Wales ran  the Baby Black's close too.

Yup, it is the same quota coach that couldn’t get the bok A team to beat 2nd string club teams. 

Thought the 10 was solid off the and kept the baby boks ahead. The forwards did the job but the 8 was useless and so the loosehead prop that gave away 3 penalties

I didn’t see the Bok game but watched a replay of the ABs vs Wales. ABs lucky to win and played a tad too loose for my liking. Tight 5 looks a little light compared to the Welsh.

The backline defense was terrible and attacks by the tream involving backline players were marginal.

We started OK, but our weak scrums tired us...the Georgian team is good...a few big lads.

Bafana Nhleko has absolutely no credible Record to justify his appointment as HC of the Junior Boks. What a Joke….this is the same path that is awaiting the Springbok side….no wonder Nienhaber has decided to leave….how can a person justify Mediocrity for the sake of transformation???? SA Rugby and the Country, is becoming the laughingstock of the World….Fucking Joke!

These quotas don't know how to win or have an determination. They just happy to pitch up and be part of it. 

The best back. Lorenzo Julius was on the wing when he should be at 13.

But we have to het the affirmative action in the team. 

The 12 and 10 looked really solid, bit the 12 looks to me to have no ball skills.

All our tries came from opportunism. Ball getting lose.

A better team with fewer mistakes would have put the baby Boks away. 

Thought the Georgian did really well. 

Just their line out let them down massively or it could have been one way traffic

But the boks looked so static and flat on attack

Looks very similar to Rassies blue print of rugby and wouldn't surprise me that he has a massive hand in the team 

Playing those quota numbers to keep your job. 

As long as we 5th in the world, that is good enough

"how can a person justify Mediocrity for the sake of transformation"

Why not? He justified mediocrity for a self-absorbed narcissist. He is likely leaving because he knows Erasputin has moved to leave him as the fallboy for his lousy operation.

Narcissistic disorder is common amongst some here who cannot take or accept their sides who they identify with their own fragile egos can be beaten by "lesser" sides (according to their self importance). They just cannot except it and are so small in character and fairness and look for scapegoats and excuses and cannot give credit to what is due by those who beat them.

Well done Italy, Georgia and France...I love it when you shatter self delusion and fragile egos.

The world and it's order is changing and you will have to accept it...the first one in the past could well be last eventually and sport is not exempt...we must accept that others can also rise up.

I warned of it in 2015 with Japan. Most Saffers were very aggressive towards that warning. The Boks cannot and should not ever lose to Japan. Too many Bok fans carry that arrogance. Times have certainly changed, and if an opponent rises to the challenge, well, it can certainly happen. We are definitely not too big to fail. Absolutely not too good to lose. Actually, we are there for the taking...

Exactly, a lot of the chaps here, call you a fool or rugby idiot, but you are definitely not...I find some of arguments have a lot of substance and you don't follow the mainstream and issue challenges and indeed raise thought, not only in sport but in geo-politics and spiritual matters. You seem to see deeper. No, I don't always agree with you but like you I respect different viewpoints from people that challenge the status quo without getting emotional or aggressive about it. That is a huge flaw in human character.

The Anglophile and Americanphile attitudes of superiority are waterless clouds. We are not always the best...it's good to have more and different challenges. It didn't affect my love for rugby when Japan beat us...there was no shame in that...

Well please accept my view point that Deus is very good on politics and very poor on rugby. 

Thanks.

All we need is merit selection regarding EVERYTHING IN Rugby and we will do well due to our natural excellence and ability which is unrivaled. 

People forget we never select the best squads etc. The people running (down) our Unions are not always the best and sone coaches like PDV set us back years.

One other thing, very dense oaks here somehow blame Rassie for having to select quota players. Rassie has to follow THE ANC rules. Yet dispite all this look how well he has done when he has coached the Boks. 

Old Deus ignores all this and along with that irritating Mozzzzquito keeps beating the anti Rassie drum.

My advice to Deus is stuck to politics. He gets too confused when discussing rugby. Workd beaters become third rate, World player of the year are no good l. Need I say more! 

I have no advice for Mozz as he is pi ss poor regarding Rugby and politics. Hahahahahaha.

Mr Bean, you literally don't have an understanding of rugby sufficient enough to coach 7 year olds. nobody here can stand against the facts I post, because they don't have the technical understanding to even frame the discussion before they throw themselves to the lions. None more so than you and Sadd ex.

Maybe so HasBeen….but your two prophets Trump and Erasmus, remarkably similar personalities , both look to be on very shaky ground.

Yes Rassie has to adhere to these transformation rules….but his selection in this regard can be better….there is better options to go with then the ones he picks…..and Merit selection I agree is the way to go, but it is a pipe dream with the way things are going in SA….so with all his restrictions, much better selections can be made by Rassie…..Black and White.

Well, let's see what happens with the WP U16 BS where players were ruled out because of their race. Just hope we can show the world how dumb outcome based politics are. 

They got rid of Affirmative actions in the USA, just hope the world wakes up

Korn, where have you been the past twenty years? The West in its entirety is firmly in the grip of identity politics. The USSA is already a third world dump, the rest following along quickly.
