He states that we are not going out there to put a lot of points on Argentina but if we do then it's more of a happy coincidence than anything else.
...and now we know why he selected DDA.
I don't get it. AE offers everything that DDA can in terms of playing a tight game, but he offers so much more everywhere else too.
Let's hope for another good game and not an Eden Park type game full of self-sabotage, missed opportunities and boredom.
29 - 15 to the Boks
14 point spread.
Funnily enough, I’m more worried about the Aussies beating the AB’s!
I'm worried that Dumbian stifles our attacking momentum, it turns into an arm wrestle and the Argies outsmart us.
It is noticeable how much Esterhuizen has been popping up in the media and particularly social media these past two weeks. People are so slow on the uptake. He's 31 already and just about everyone is only now starting to go "oh, hey, maybe there's something to this bloke".
Poor old Tim Eggchasers of course is still punting "Dahmmiuhn dee Allendey" as the cog around which the Bok backline rotates.
Don't get me started on Dud, what, is he help our defence?!!! we leaked like 30 points against the all blacks when he was on the park, Did we not leak the same amount of points when we were playing against Italy. So that theory goes out of the window.
Go forward ball, what go forward ball, catching the ball behind the advantage line, then just trying to step around players, slow play down and allow defence to come up,
When he does get space, he can't exploit it because he has absolutely no pace and he just ends up kicking it away. He got lucky twice, but not it has become his stock game plan.
Then, most of the time he gets mixed up with his centre partner and creates obstruction or allow them to run into the wrong lane by being indecisive.
DA is better than AE so I don’t know what you clowns are banging on about
Dumbian Dumblande is a far inferior player to Esterhuizen.
We have Willemse and Esterhuzien as 12's, lets move on
Bullshit DA is better than AE it’s why Rassie has invested in him and not AE
Its close there is not much in it but DA has always had the edge and rightly so
AE is not the future at 12 - Willemse / Hooker and David Kriel are
David Kriel is good, but he might not have enough time to break into the Bok squad. Hooker adapted to test rugby like a duck to water; maybe David Kriel will do the same, but it is starting to get close to the next World Cup. Delande will be done before then. Esterhuzen will still be in top form.
Rassie needs to wake up to the value in David Kriel given he is at home at 15, 13 and 12
He was invited to the alignment camp so is on the list
AE won’t be invested in - he has always been number 2 and is a similar age to DA. Starting him now would mean Rassie was settling for second best
