Some oaks have never been ABLE TO GRASP HOW GOOD Rassie is. And of course my call regarding Willie and Faf were correct. Take a bow Beeno!

Erasmus Head made some smart picks for this test:
Preferring Snyman over Stephanie....Pollard over Jantjies....Willie over Gelant.....bringing back Vermeulen.
For once our bench had some potency as well, courtesy of not loading it with political choices like Mohoje.
But his centres are still a mess, and other than Vermeulen the loosies were a non factor.
The defence was poor when the Poms got the ball, which wasn't often.
Has he made the right choice in the big pick....Vermeulen looked like the de facto captain out there.

Beeno
Erasmus was in many ways justified in his selections but he also selected some players where the warning signs were clear. There should be changes at 13.3 and 5 and some serious question marks about 1 as well,
His game strategy was a massive improvement on what Meyer an d Coetzee was capable of.

A big change in the way the Boks played. Massive improvement. Actually looks like they actually want to win...comeing back from 3-24 takes some grit.

The difference between the game at DC and this one was night and day. Against Wales they looked like the couldn't even be bothered to warm up. Against the Poms they were full of energy and commitment .

Oaks as as i said Nieaber will sort the defence. You can all admit that Beeno was right once again!
The pack can be better and the defence will improve.

Hope he does well for South Africa however, I have never rated him even when he was with Munster.

Early doors yet.
We beat France convincingly last year this time.
The NH teams are at a disadvantage right now, and us at the end of the year.
Probably wise to reserve judgement until the RC is done.

...Bean Brain...congrats on beating the English B team ....England's great Australian coach Eddie Jones is saying it's very definitely a ref assisted win, that is a very bent Kiwi RAW so sounds like you two went to the same school ...and according to Eddie, England did'nt really lose, they simply ran out of time...Eddie is also saying next time England will kick yr yarpy butts well and good..good luck with that..

Man this side was a scratch side and missing two world class forwards to boot.. Boks under Rassie will rise in rankings. One detects a sense of doom coming over the kbbs!! Hahah ahahhahahahaha

...JW,... how fickle are some of these Bok supporters when they were just saying a minute ago they'd rather watch the French play tennis than watch Bok rugby...

By the way Brycy - the French open Mens final will be worth watching. Nadal is playing Thiem - the only player who beat Nadal twice on clay over the past two years. You will get 33/10 on Thiem victory. Could be a good bet.

Brycy how daft some of the kbbs look right now! Hahahahahahaha
Hope Thiem wins but its a long shot. Congrats to the extremely gutsy Halep in downing Sloane Stephens - well deserved French pen winner.
