Ruhle back

I see Ruhle is back in the bok squad. Seriously WTF? I will not support this farking team if he plays on Saturday. Dan Du Perez and Nkosi have been included as well, but their inclusion is overshadowed by the complete joke that is Ruhle!

 Could be a sound move: a scapegoat is going to be needed to explain the next game result.

This guy has already the name, he will get the game.

 
Both Nkosi and Dan Du Preez won't get any game time. It's just part of Totties strategy to keep fools like SharSh!t happy. 

Coetzee has mouthed off enough to the media about how he won't just drop a player after one bad day at the office ... and in doing so he's committed to playing Rhule again.

It's going to be hilarious.

 

Bringing back Rhule would be the final straw breaking the camel's back.   The SA rugby public is already sick and tired of the BS we are being fed and  Coetzee will not be acceptable as coach much longer,

It is nice to see that Cleancut is now a spokesperson reporting on what others think or say. Hopefully, Nkosi will get some game time. He appears to have an all-round game and should be strong enough to tackle new zealand wingers.

 Raymond " turnstile" Rhule ? Dude can run fast just directional y challenged .

I think Ou Maaik is right . . . Coetzee is risking his job bringing Mrs Squire back.

 I make better yards in the beer queue.

 
Would it be wise to select Nkosi to the run on team against the All Blacks?

Is our quota coach desperate enough to do this? He may just be ... and I don't think sacrificing a young talent like Nkosi would be beyond him either.

We have ascertained that the man is a fool ... selecting 2nd rate chumps like HouGat (much to SharkSh!ts approval) confirms this so what will he do next? His job is on the line. Another 50pt drubbing would surely be the end of him ... let's see if he puts his money where his mouth is and selects Drool on the wing.  

Another record score would be nice. I hope the All Black supporters in Cape Town come out in their thousands. It would be nice to see a sea of black with a sprinkling of green here and there.

Go All Blacks.

The way the coach is taking the springboks will soon mean that visiting team supporters go to matches and the Springbok supporters stay away.
There is gross unhappiness as to what Coetzee is up to.   However, this is nothing new - he was equally destructicve of the Stormers/WP teams in his last 4 years as their coach.   The temam is in fact slowly recovering from his despicable selection policy at the time.
Players who left the4 said team has flourished in their new environments - eg Schreuder and Francois van Wyk playing for the Sharks at present.   Problem is that Coetzee is too stupid to realize the damage he is doing to the team.
We will see on Thursday what damage Coetzee will do this time to the team in whom he selects.   I think he would not pick Nkosi and stick with Rhule or the equally questionable Leyds.   He will also stick with Dreyer - because the yarn is now spun that the Aussies got the better of Dreyer by retreating slightly so as to stretch him out and causing him to fall flat on his stomach in every sacrum.   It would appe ar that the scum believes that the AB's are too stupid to do exactly the same.
It seems that Venter and Smith is suffering badly because of the poor selections and expectations that they must turn the picked losers into winners.   
       

 There's nothing anyone can say or add to what's already been said about Coetzee, we are all in the process of repeating ourselves. Also I don't believe this forum has ever been united in the condemnation of the national coach as it is right now. I fear the current team has run it's distance, I fear there is nothing more the assistant coaches can squeeze out of the team to lift their game to a higher level, they either find better players or we as fans have to live with the fact that the current Bok team will only beat average teams.....ooops that said I think the Wallabies are an ordinary side. I should also say that the team does not lack from a want of trying, they are doing their best and that is the part that worries me.

 
The assistant coaches have bought into Coetzee's absurdities.

There was some improvement shown against the useless French and hapless Pumas and we accredited this to the new coaching staff ... turns out it was just the pathetic opposition that had duped us into believing the new coaches were responsible.

The All Blacks made that very clear when they brought us down to earth with a 57 - 0 thrashing.

The assistant coaches have contributed nothing to the Bokke and should also be discarded as soon as possible.

They can be thankful I'm not President of this country. As far as I'm concerned they should be charged with high treason.

 I beg to differ. If it wasn't for the assistant coaches the Boks would have lost to a tired and an indifferent French side and to a dysfunctional Argentinian side and lastly, they would also have lost to an average Wallaby side. I'm not singing their praises but simply pointing out that they're a bit better than the useless Coetzee.

 I think Ou Maaik is right . . . Coetzee is risking his job bringing Mrs Squire back. Opines ou rooitwit.Coetzee was never a merit appointment so why would he be removed for reasons of incompetence. Don't be too sure it works like that oaks!
Ou dense denise the little echo still thinks this is an average wobblies side. That after running the wee abs very close in NZ and drawing in SA. Anybody thinking OZ don't have a class backline has not been paying attention. The pack is also competitive. That left wing signing from League is a very good addition.
The point about the Boks is that they should be beating the over hyped kiwis on a regular basis but don't because of a variety of reasons well documented by non other than Beeno.

I understand that the venue for Saturdays match was moved to the Newlands Cricket Stadium.

Scoreboard can deal with triple digit numbers Blikkies?

 Someone scoring a ton against us is probably on the horizon .

 Not an over abundance of confidence from the SA posters
Let's wait until the ABs announce their team, it could be that Barrett is being rested & that will cost us a few points. Sopoaga needs a good run anyway.
PS. Jerome Garcia is the ref, we always have trouble with him.

 Rhule now he is back or  where is he?   One could never know what Clueless Coetzee is up to.   Rhule will play for the Cheetahs against Glasgow this weekend or is he???   

Yes, Coetzee must have heard us . . . Rhule released and Thomas du Toit added.

Thomas Du Toit has been brought in to cover tighthead.

It doesn't really matter to our quota coach which side you prefer ... or which side a player specializes in ... or where his strength and confidence lies. Picking a player out of position seems to be the order of the day.

We have looseheads playing on the tighthead side ... locks playing at flank ... blindside flanks playing on the openside ... and at 8th man ... full backs playing at outside centre ... scrumhalves playing on the wing.

We have an assortment of players that should only be allowed to play rugby on the playstation ... and then they probably won't be any good there either.

I thought he was the type of coach that doesn't just drop a player after one poor showing. Isn't that what he said? Turns out he lied about that too. 

Go All Blacks!!!!!!!

 I think Coetzee was forced into the situation by insistence on the part of his assistant Coaches and obviously the public.

I would select Louw to start at Tighthead and Du Toit as his sub - but I do not think that would happen,  

As to Rhule - the wing should be Nkosi,    He is miles better than the useless Leyds,   The other wing they should look at is Mapimpi and obviously Combrinck,

With the present squad being available i think the team should be the following:-

15  Andries Coetzeem 14  Nkosi, 13 Jesse Kriel, 12 Damian de Allende, 11 Courtnall Skosan, 10 Jantjies, 9  Cronje, 8  Du Preez, 7  Louw, 6 Kolisi, 5 Du Toit, 4  Etzebeth, 3  Wilco Louw, 2  Marx, 1  Beast

16  Mbonambi, 17  Kitshof, 18  Thomas du Toit, 19  Mostert, 20  Dan du Preez, 21  Schreuder, 22  Pollard, 23  Nkosi

Still much of a farce in some positions - but the above team would have easily beaten the Aussies.     

 
Well, Mike ... there's not much one can do to the team with the current players in the squad. 6 of one and half a dozen of the other.

Your tweaks with what we have is a definite improvement. I doubt your team will be drubbed to nil.

I do however think that we should start with our best 15 and keep them on for at least 60 - 70 minutes. We can then sub some of them for the dregs on the bench.

That would mean our team looks a little like this ...

1. Kitshof, 2. Marx, 3. Louw

4. Eben, 5. Du Toit

6. Louw, 7. JL Du Preez, 8. Dan Du Preez

9. Schreuder, 10 Jantjies (no choice with this one) ... rather have Bosch if he's still part of the squad. He can't be any worse.

11. Skosan, 14. Nkosi (even though he is actually a left wing)

12. Serfontein, 13. De Allende (hate him but rather him than the pathetic Kriel)

15. Coetzee (rather have Gelant ... not sure if he's still in the squad)

Tottie changes his squad so often ... it's like he's been inspired by Jacob Zuma and his constant cabinet reshuffling.

Any way those are my thoughts.

Go All Blacks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



 

 JW our confidence would be up if we were fielding our se cond team.

Obviously your team will be an improvement.
As to the future flyhalf I would prefer Willemse over Bosch.   Both are thinking players - but I think Willemse is more physical than Bosch and more dangerous a player.   However, both would be hugely better than Jantjies.  
I dislike the Louw story - he is nowadays a low work rate player of not much use in playing a modern brand of rugby.   I would prefer Kolisi to him.    As stated before our loosie situation in the squad is desperately poor.   The situation is they are a serious case of improper combinations.
However, the present squad will not be a serious threat to the AB's and they will lose badly.      .        

 
Actually ... you have a point on the useless Louw. As much as I dislike Kolisi ... he is the better option of the two.

Hell of a thing when you aren't even as good as an obvious quota.
