RG Snyman picked up a niggle

In training today - fuck sake So if he does not play Nortje will start Another fucking Mostert Fuck sake RG Surely it would make more sense to move PSDT to 5 and play BJ Dixon at 7?

Mostert at the breakdown???? Thank fuck useless Mostert is not playing I hope we never see him play for the Boks again Utterly useless where it counts

They will monitor him, but still in the squad. Nortje or Moeras will come of the bench. It will most probably be Stef at Lock …Ben is a above average line out Jumper and good at 7.

Will be so disappointed if RG does not make it The obvious move would be to move PSDT to 5 and start BJ Dixon at 7 with Moerat on the bench But no doubt Rassie will instead bring Nortje at 5 - another powder puff

You’ve got powder puff on the brain …Nortje just like Mostert, is good dependable locks picked by yours truly Rassie. He knows better for sure .

They are both shit

Rassie is not perfect, if he was his record would be 100% Selecting Mostert ahead of real locks is definitely a failing of his. Mostert diminished our physical threat I definitely don’t buy into his selection of players that are not necessarily the best but they fit.

Time to bin Snyman altogether. He’s obviously made of glass and should be consigned to the rubbish tip permanently. They’ve wasted too much precious time on him already…..

Yeah Moz I’d definitely pick the best player in each position and the next best 8 on the bench. The best players should have the skill set to play any plan you want Of course if one of your players was a complete wanker or had a Luke Watson agenda you would not bother The only real variant would be at 12 - your best physical 12 or your most creative 12 - de Allende vs Willemse For the rest my side would have to meet certain skill and size levels - I would not look at a prop or lock under 120kg (hence Mostert never getting a sniff in my side) No centre under 90kg more like 95kg etc There is no way that right now I would be playing Kriel ahead of Am just because Kriel has done a job while Am was injured. You sell the team short with Kriel ahead of Am, so when Am is fit like he is now, he plays I get the feeling there is too much of this ‘because he knows the system he gets selected or plays’ - like Ruan Nortje being selected ahead of the better and far more deserving Ruben v Heerden in the squad. Yes as a test coach you only have a limited time with your squad unlike a provincial coach but that should not detract from bringing in better more deserving players Rassie gets most of his selections right but he also makes some stupid calls On the one hand he is all about the new in Sacha over Pollard but then counters that with the stupid call of starting Reinach ahead of Williams - what does that say about his faith in Williams. Same with Koch on the bench ahead of Thomas - it’s time to move on. Neither Reinach nor Koch have been first choices as Boks so I don’t get the logic of continuing with 34 year old bench players

"Eben has gone a bit flat at the start of the season. "
Eben might be the most overrated and most hyped up player of all time.
Not for one second saying he's not a good player because he is . . . and he is consistently good . . . but the way his fanboys on here shriek about him being the greatest lock of all time or the greatest player in the world today . . . while he plods around the field doing the basics well and doing what one would expect from a Springbok lock . . . well, it's hard to reconcile his actual performances with the reputation his fanboys seem to think he's earned.
Meanwhile, the player that the Ebenistas love to hate - Pieter-Steph du Toit - is winning accolades like World Rugby Player of the Year, Player of the RWC final and winning us RWCs almost single-handedly.
Eben is good and if you think he's gone a bit flat he's playing his normal game without ever reaching the heights his adoring fans think he does . . . . but the much-maligned and underrated Pieter Steph is great. A true Springbok legend in every sense.
Just keeping it real.
