I look strictly at performance since June 2018 after he skipped the EC tests and then did perform averagely the EOYT,   That was all there is to the above.  "

I see. Y ou mean like when he, according to you, resorted to cheating to get out of games.......?

 I think it may be that Vermeulen did not put in a credible performance and saw a way out of completing the game.   An injury like he pretended he suffered would have kept any player out for weeks if not months  and the fact is it did not in this case.

Vermeulen was excellent in the first two June tests last year and was poor in the third.   He then du cked out of the RC tests and came back for three tests in November where he was just about satisfactory,     That caused me to worry about him.  He did some good work in the WC - especially in the final - and for that he deserve praise of the highest.order.

How many players only play for 20 minutes in any test according to you?

Here is one quote:-

"Du Toit should be used on the bench - since he cannot play longer than 20 minutes in a match - a useless player that cannot make claim to any position - he is no lock and no loosie."

I remember another one you made a similar statement on - namely that  Lood de Jager only plays for 20 minutes and that he is a school yard bully.

I can quote dozens of quotes about De Allende as well - at least three of them based on outright lies - so is he also playing f or twenty minutes in tests?  

Any comments - please.   I need some laughing incentives,  .

Lood's metres in the final, 1m in 1 run. Against Wales, 5m in 5 runs. Against the minnows? Bigger carries. He is most certainly a flat track bully. Interestingly, his average is worse than Thor's third test against England last year. Egg or crow, you never relay your preference. 

Ja well Lomp tried to tackle Vunipola, got monstered and now sadly is out of the game again. Mostert tackled Vunipola several times in the goal line stand alone.....he sort of specialized in stopping the big fella dead. One of  Eraser's mistakes corrected by providence.

Mozart

Now that is a new one - I asked a simple question about playing for 20 minutes by players and as expected did not get a reply.   I also wants to know why that vicious remark on Providence to thank for the injury to De Jager in the final.  Have you got no shame?????????   

AO

De Jager will pl ay more tests for SA - Mostert won't.    

Mostert is physically much weaker than De Jager - proven fact - and there is no question as to De Jager be a better tackler than Mostert and a stronger ball carrier.  How do you know that if De Jager stayed on he would not made stronger tackles than Meyer is capable of?

The only idiot that underrate Du Toit's work rate in games.   No rugby expert in the rugby world would come of that IDIOCY.

Still smarting because Du Toit is the World Player of the Year for 2019 - something Matfield never achieved,   OK - I am sorry for you - I cry you a river,          

He should have won more caps....but he appears to have bulked up which is a must. Does that even make sense?

As for Lomp....big, slow, low energy, not great in the lineouts......fortunately we had Mostert available when Vunipola ran over him.

The dwell ran dry once Plodder faced more physical opposition. What was it? 0 in 1 run against England? 5 in 3 against Wales? This anaemic production was nothing of note. Lood is no test lock. To matters worse, Mostert provided stopping power where Lood rolled a red carpet. Overrated. Just like you want them. Kolisi, Notshe (roadkill in every test to date) and Dayamani? Need I go on? Class acts. 

Old Lomp plays a few games, gets bumped and then he's toast for the next 6 months. Give me the lion hearted Mostert any day.....but Snyman is the mega talent. Stick with moz!

Damian was a dud inside six minutes when on the front foot. No world class 12 does that. Lood was run over, Mostert withstood the pressure and punched back. Case closed. Lood, the flat track bully and Damian, the clown centre. 

Mostert will not play another test for the Springboks unless there is an exceptional long list of injuries,  So why worry about him anymore? 

Then we have the sick idiocy of  AO about De Allende.   Mozart writes delusional BS and the clown follows suit.   What a combination - a regular Ship of Fools,      

On one hand, we have gorilla Saffy beating his chest and writing Christmas lists of names, and you spitting feeble pre-school level insults. On the other hand, we have a small few posters who bring a glut of information to the forum with heavily substantiated opinions. You have, as always, brought absolutely nothing to the table. 

What - bring anything to the table that no one else would be stupid enough to write and then states it as a fact,   LMAO   The day you write anything bar prejudiced BS is the day when you will indeed bring something to the table.  It took many years of different user names - but in that time there was no sign of any improvement, but one can still live in hope.  I will not hold m y breath on that ever happening.  LMAO     

Yes, I am right. Just as I was right when the "world" endorsed Damian after he tanked that Aussie test singlehandedly. I bet big mouth Saffy can't reference one thing in any test of that campaign. He has never been able to reference anything fullstop, so why start now?

@Lügnerin: Your username nonsense is poor desperation, and to what end. I don't need ano ther username to mop the floor with either of you. So punch drunk are you, you be seeing Augen all about you! 

You owe the staff here at least one rugby post Dreck. These attempts at sideswipes, the swat of a kittens paw, certainly haven't done you any good. Yesterday was a bit of a setback in those efforts! 

AO

I write enough rugby posts - unlike you who dream up BS and then pretend it is a rugby post.  Any post needs real rugby content - not unrealistic and make-believe stories without any basis,   That is why members actually don't respond to most of the crap you routinely write in site,  

Dave is right - it is not worthwhile to respond to your dishonest ramblings,        

Allende is a crashballer, who has never created a test try for another player and can't tackle in space. The nature of this world cup and our narrow tactics has rewarded his crashballing and hidden his one dimensional nature. Guys like Kerevi and Goodhue will have him for breakfast again next year in  Super rugby.

Really? Shall I resurrect your embarrassing defence of the Lood miss against Australia? Interesting. Lood's miss was the act of a class act, a textbook tackle; Frans preventing a certain try in a World Cup final after another Damian flub was nothing. This is how one-eyed you are. As dishonest as Lügnerin, but even more vain.

You were one of those experts who didn't see Damian concede three tries against Australia in 2015, yet you peddled along the media narrative. You also didn't see anything wrong with Lood being run over, yet had much to say about the weak Mostert who downed the very same player who fell Lood the tree trunk. 

Yes, your analytics is nonexistent. Your solitary eye as glazed as the expression on Lügnerin's face. Go on, tell me again how stupid I am. Tell me something new. You're sounding more and more stock by the day. Perhaps a little dig at your ego will stir you into something a little interesting. Gosh, maybe another Christmas list of players. 

De Allende's defense has been a problem in the past. That has been remedied. His defence in this world cup was fine. He scored a game changing individual try against Wales. Yet all you can see is a missed tackle against Wales in the past. Have a look at the meaning of the word bias. Failing that, just have a look in the mirror, you will find the illustrated version of the explanation. 

The Boks beat every team who couldn't cope with their physicality. Do you honestly believe our attacking play was good? This was entirely about defence and set pieces, as well as the breakdown. Where was Steph at the breakdown against Wales and England? Where were his big carries? How about Lood? Once the bigger teams came up, Lood's production dried up. Who was it who delivered? Thor, Even and Louw. Three players the experts last year said should retire. Steph, Damian and Lood did not elevate the Boks. Mostert comes on for Lood, and out produces him, again.

As for Rassie? I said he is average. And he is. Where can we see anything more than average? Even more, if we strip away the defence of Nienaber, what exactly do we have left? 

No, this bloated praise of the passengers has been effortlessly debunked. 

No Aug, you have debunked nothing. You can't have it both ways. If the team is dotted with rubbish players as you claim, then the only way they could have beaten a bloody strong English outfit, with arguably one if the best coaches in the game, is by having a brilliant game strategy which would have to be attributed to the coach. Which is something you also dispute.

Teams dotted with poor players in critical positions, and with average coaches don't dominate very strong teams with excellent coaches. Its as simple as that.

bluebok, you have to remember that Omlett here sees himself very differently to the way everyone elses sees him. 

Omlett lives in this fantasy world where he debunks everything with "effortless ease", where he understands things that us lesser mortals can't and where he brings a "glut" of "heavily substantiated opinions" to the forum.

The reality is that he's a dull-witted rugby noob who says a lot of stupid stuff and all he brings to the table is his pathetically biased prejudice against players that he hates. That's what everyone else sees but it doesn't stop Omlett's fantasies or his delusions of adequacy.

Mozart

Who turned De Allende into a crashballer?  Meyer was the main problem - that was particularly clear in 2015 in the WC - where De Allende more frequently than not.received hospital passes according to the Meyer dumb plan if that could be called a plan and not a shambles.

Up until this year people even on this site asked why De Allende's game has changed to the negative.   Even I had one stage in 2018 that he should not be in the Springbok team,

He at last this year showed that he is back to the player he used to be before  Meyer got hold of him.   However, he seemed to improve drastically under Erasmus and he was lauded by the media for a much - improved WC performance.  

It is always amazing how dud coaches manage to destroy not only teams - but also individual players.   

Duplic ation

Blue, this game was won by territorial dominance and set-piece dominance, as well as breakdown dominance. A litany of mistakes from Damian has already been exposed. Next? Where is the production of Steph? What stood out in that final? You still haven't provided one tangible detail to defend Steph. No one has ever been able to do that. His ball carrying was anemic, his presence at the breakdown was average to poor - being cleaned away easily in that first half in particular, what else was there? As for Lood? Run over and injured, what did he do when he was on the field? Mostert bettered him, Beast dominated in the scrum which was the single greatest factor in beating England, and the likes of Faf, Willie, Am, Mapimpi, Thor and Eben did the bulk of the rest. Look at every key moment in that game, you do not see Steph, Lood or Damian. If you think you know of something, then reference it, and I'll put it here. The challenge has been open to everyone all since before the World Cup. 

As for Rassie, he is indeed a very average coach. Defence, very poor attack even in most tests we physically dominate. We are a blunt, heavily scripted and linear team, modelled on the Stormers. That isn't an opinion, that's a fact. For all the howls about kicking under Meyer, when he was very successful, now we have Rassie getting a free ride for reducing the Boks' game? He has taken us away form trends in the game. We struggle to beat teams we cannot physically bully. That was the Straeuli model too. You cannot deny this. There is no record of Rassie being a flexible or adaptive tactician at any level of the game. Every team he has coached has deteriorated as an attacking force. Coetzee was blamed for the Stormer's failures, but once separated from each other we see definitive proof that Rassie's fingerprint was all over that team, now he wants the same setup as before, a figurehead coach who can be his flack jacket whilst he soaks up the praise. I can't respect that.
