Rugby Championship 2012 - Johan Goosen Defence
In any case, you couldn't figure out how to pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel.
I don't think that you are stupid, though. I just believe that you have bad luck when thinking.
Don't worry guys, Sun-Tzu isn't fooling anyone except the people that have always been naive to the fact of Morne Steyn.
I know you Dutchies like a little chest beating........but this really does take the cake.
How on earth you can be stupid enough to declare that you have won this one is beyond me for any idiot who implies that an Oz side is of no real challenge is debate ending in itself
I dont think you Dutchies know exactly how stupid you are.
Yeah van I believe you were an anti apartheid activist as much as I believe Jim Morrison is still alive.........you epitomise a conservative Dutch prick.......and please dont ask me why......its blatantly obvious........but here is a hint 'English'
You have only been able to prove your level of prejudice. You clearly make assumptions based on language, culture and on a balance of probabilities, religion and race too. Placing people into your preconceived boxes based on a single aspect.
I am proud of my second language, and therefore will use it especially when dealing with a prejudiced prick like you... and I know it pisses you off.
Based just on that, the Goosen hype is paper thin.
He has a great eye for space.....either attacking it himself or putting player into space with great touches
Haha yeah. The play where Alberts was at flyhalf!
So now we've heard that Goosen got the backline going. There are few specifics that I wan t to bring to light, viz. that Goosen was heralded for his ability to play flatter than Morné, that he could fix his man and create space and that he was a devastating runner ball-in-hand. In the following video we have every attacking movement involving the Goose. I would like you to pay particular attention to the defenders opposite Goosen and the advance of the defensive line upon the outside backs. Note how the drift progresses unchallenged and how deep Goosen is. No doubt some of his admirers will counter in saying he was just following orders; he does however play exactly the same way for the Cheetahs. The hallmark of their game not being Goosen's individual brilliance, but rather their work off the ball in supporting the ball-carrier, the involvement of their forwards in a very wide attack pattern and lots of deception at pace. When isolating the individual I just don't see any advantage playing Goosen instead of Morné, Lambie or Jantjies I'd even select Butch ahead of him. But, I'm not saying Goosen is good for nothing. The one successful break he did make (1/3 thus far) did demonstrate his open field running. I think he could be a fullback for the Boks. But that lad at the Sharks looks very promising indeed. My prediction: Goosen will not make it, by this time next year we will be talking of another rising star.
Modern test match defences are so structured, so I am not sure what you expect these outside backs to do once Goosen has passed the ball.......damn right that the defences will be in place to counter most attacks.......its called rugby!!!!!
Goosen was 100 times better in that game than Morne has EVER been for the Boks
Goosen has already made it......if he gets through the S15 injury free he will walk the Bok 10 starting spot as Meyer will have remembered the test above and exactly what this kid has to offer over the ponderous plodder who is Morne
If Goosen stays injury free he will go down as our best 10 since readmission.....his only challengers are Honnibal, Stransky and Butch......he will walk it

After reading all the BS you wrote above - I will be gentle and say so9meyth hing in Afrikaans - so that the foreigners do not understand it:-
"JY IS SO TOE SOOS 'N KLEI OS SE GAT"
If you cannot distinguish between good and thinking players and the average and robotic players you are punting then I can only say - BLAAS MY SIEL - ONS HET 'N IDIOOT IN ONS MIDDE.
Now be a good boy - go and study rugby - and then after finding out what the game is really about - come back and tell us what you have learnt.
Mozart
You refer to the highlight pacjage on Goosen - but is there one on Morne Steyn? I assume so, but it will be rather repetitive - showing him kicking at goal - because he has beside that done nothing since 2009.
Its one thing to have marginal takes on players but yours are so extreme.....it is beyond comprehension that anyone can find favour in an ordinary player like Morne and discredit a class act like Goosen.
As for Cooper, he is just pure class.......I'd have Cooper with his hands tied behind his back ahead of a player like Morne
Daar! Gaan maak jou naam gat!
All we saw was kick, kick, kick, kick........pathetic
Try again.....seeing my gat......yeah right......was I meant to be impressed by all that, huh????
Sun Tzu
I di play rugby as a hooker - had a serious shoulder injury and had to stop playing when still young (at 21). I did not participate in Mozart's silly discussion - because he had as per normal ulterior motives. However, Saffex summed it up exactly - you really have a massive and long way to go before you can assess properly rugby player performances. So go and study the game and come back a sensible contributor - what you wro te here makes you look like a complete fool.
Saffex - Question - Would you take Cooper over any 5/8 in world rugby ? Including Carter?
I'd take Mitch Johnson over any bowler btw...
Really? You are telling me Morné has done NOTHING in all his tests, but I am extreme? You don't even provide evidence. What you have been bleating thus far has been easily debunked. You are the extremist here.
No-one rates Morne outside of the Bulls fraternity.......which of course includes Meyer........the Kiwi's dont.......my Pom mates scratch their heads at his inclusion.......he is not rated as a player at all.......he is highly rated as a kicker though......but that is where it ends
Sun Tzu
What evidence have you provided about Morne Steyn? The only thing positive about Morne is his kicking at goal. For the rest he is a nondescript flyhalf - that has produced nothing of note in other formats of the game. Morne is bad news for the team, since there is over-whelming evidence that he is instrumental in the dead backline syndrome that has bedevilled SA rugby for years. With him around - the backline consist of 5 players who are there to ensure 15 players start in the game and to defend only. His own defence is suspect as he constantly uses the wrong tackle technique.
His kicking game is seriously problematic as well and stemmed from poor decision making. He has in the last six tests failed to find touch with 7 penalty kicks - he does not make decisions, but plays according to instructions and then do not know when to kick balls or when to pass balls. There are oodles of examples of that one ranging from the commentators saying his kicks are BS - to the crowd booing him at PE - the fiasco in the Super 15 semi against the Brumbies (where his kicking foul up cost the Bulls the game) - the Messam second try at Ellis Park - to name but a few. There are many more - but I will stick with the above.
The sooner you stop ascribing qualities to Morne which is patently absent in Steyn - the sooner people will start believing that you are objective and contributing valuable comments on this site.

Hahaha! You and Saffex are the ones who are so obsessing about a single player, that just about every thread about any flyhalf, turns into a tirade about Morne. And it is for that reason the both of you are such EASY TARGETS to so many of the others . And to TRY and cover your arses, you try to create the impression that others aren't objective or don't add value...
Neither one of you two have added any value in any case. All the two of you bitch and moan about is Morne and in your case we can add "sloth" Alberts and Frans Steyn. From that I gather that "Willem Steyn" probably stole your girlfriend/wife?
Some of the best Springbok players have been subjected to being booed by crowds. Percy and Calla Scholtz were booed at Loftus, Habana was booed in Bloem, Morne was booed in PE............
