The Boks can rule on the ground.......

Louw - what a farce - he may be on the bench Saturday.   Was a liability last year in the AB  Springbok game last year, .   

Louw was very good in that game. 

@Moz: Agreed. Disrupting their flow of possession will go a long way to winning this test. I am worried about team defence though. The All Blacks are clearly in decline, but they still have immense strike power. Far more so than the Wallabies.

Sure knocking on the ball five meters out was very good and could have gibven the AB;s victory in that game..  Unpleasa nt reminder for the two of you.  

If you want to revisit the Wellington test we can review the defensive lapses of Damian and Steph. Remember those? Both allowing lethal bursts through the Bok defence. 

Then the home test. Louw was fantastic. You said it would never happen, but it did, just so we can see your nose reach new heights. 

All this tedious vendetta against the world class, best no 7 in world rugby Du Toit must stop. How much more embarrassment can some oaks take. 

As of this moment Allende remains the best 12 in SA. Nobody has todate shown themselves to be better. 

If somebody better than Allende turns up Rassie will make the change. Unlike some Rassie knows what he is doing. 

Organhuffer has analyzed himself into a position of weird confusion. 

Dr Moz clearly didn't fix the faulty mozcroscope. The lens has numerous cracks and a thick film hindering observations. Hahahahahaha. 

Fancy trashing the best 7 in world rugby. A world class player. Beeno and Mallet on the same page. Also, under that post re Ten Points for the Boks the writer says Steph would walk into any test team. Obviously but not to all unfortunately. 

Organhuffer Juan Smith was a poor man's Steph Du Toit. Simply not the athlete and powerhouse Steph is. 

Your visit to the optician is long overdue Organhuffer. Lense problems are troubling some posters here. Hahahahahahaha. 

Louw was excellent in the Pretoria test by doing next to nothing and conceding 4 possession turnovers and a penalty as well.   

I am sure that you and Mozart will identify shortcomings in Du Toit and invent some real beauties as is your custom - but never anything of substance done positively by you pet hate players,   Even if nobody else in the world could found reason to blame a player.  After all - Mozart at one stage last year claimed that the three f you - Mozart. AO and Pakie - fiound thongs in rugby performance analysis that nobody else ever looked at.  

Your essential comments are not worth reading - useless concoctions at best.       

Damian is 6 years into his test career and still waiting for that breakout game. The Lambie of this generation. Damian isn't even a 12, he is a wing out of position. This player craves space. Note his lateral runs cramping the outside backs into the touchline. Sometimes he offloads to a poor soul who is swallowed up by several defenders. I'm still waiting for him to make a dominant tackle. 

Steph has his good and bad games. He lacks mobility for 7, which is exposed time and again. As a ball carrier, he isn't very penetrative. He also dies with most of that ball. He wasn't the best 7 last year, the year before that, or the year before that. He wasn't the best flank in super rugby this year, he was the 17th best flank. He is nowhere near the best flankers in world rugby. 

You make Damian and Lood your primary carriers and you end up with staccato phase play which is easily absorbed and defended, with little distribution. 

Look at the lead up to the De Jager try on Saturday - he lacks mobility. LMAO  

This from an idiot who supported the slower than a prop Alberts at 7 LMAO  

Alberts ran over players. He also demanded the attention of several defenders. As a decoy alone he was a nightmare before his injury in 2014. A very powerful ruck presence too. 

Steph rushes out of the line and is left flat-footed. Alberts, despite his size, was mobile enough to defend in the outer channels, even against New Zealand.

It's been a tough few days for you . Here, have a cookie. 

Alberts ran over player and on average made 2,2 meters per carry - LMAO..  Probably better to say he walked over players - running was slightly out of norm with him.

May I ask you a simple question?   Do you ever think before you write unsubstantiated BS on site?  It makes you look utterly ridiculous and stupid you know. 

Whichever way you slice it, Alberts was our last great blindside flank. No other flank has given us that level of momentum since 2014. In terms of speed, Steph can hardly be considered a speedster himself! Even worse, his slow acceleration and mobility in changing direction. Once he commits to a movement, he cannot readjust himself quickly enough. Hence the perpetual draw-pass that we see along the fringes. 

The worst prop or maybe lock that pretended to play as a flank and you claim that he was the best,  The guy who  never knew the meaning of ball protection and recovery and who never made a turnover at breakdowns.  

Mozart once gave the following explanation for the selection of Alberts:-

Matfield was the best line-out jumper in  the world - but his contribution outside of line-outs to the Tight 5 was not strong enough - so Alberts had to be in the team to off-set that.

Crazy - but true.  You have a player who could not perform properly as a Lock and one who could not perform properly as a loosie in the team.   Always one player short in the team nd you call Alberts the best - crazy but true,   Ask Read how easy it was to beat Alberts on the fringes.       .

You lambaste Alberts for security and recovery, for not winning turnovers? What do you think Steph does? Clean rucks? Win turnovers? You stepped over your planks again! 

Steph in one match made more turnovers than Alberts did in his career.   Easy to combat Steph did make a number of turnovers in games conveniently ignored by you and the other Idiot Speakers.   

You mean like the 5 turnovers you rejected by Louw last season? 

Listen dimness

I never rejected them - but Louw's turnovers are normally few and far between - 5 in 11 matches played.   His other aspects of play is normally just a bout average and nothing special.

Coetzee was weak. Actually, even worse than his previous failed stints for the Boks. This is a player I have been watching up north. Duane is many times the player Coetzee could ever be. A quiet game from Duane surpasses the laboured and strained best of Coetzee. Louw was the best loose forward in the last test. He, along with Whiteley and Duane, was the best loose forward on the EOYT last year. In fact, those three popped up more often among the best Boks than the likes of Steph and Kolisi. 

As for Dan? I think he'd be a significant improvement on the out of position Steph at 7. 

Hi carries lacked punch, just as they did with Ulster. We saw him in space on one carry deep in Wallaby territory. Louw has always been better. 

Dan had obscene possession stats, but Duane was the more productive carrier per carry and the more dynamic player.

@Moz: You're right, he isn't one of our brightest, but his explosive power and ability to offload upgrades Steph. I think we can live with that at 7. We still haven't seen Mostert at 7 though. Rassie is assessing/including many of the wrong players in my opinion. 

Sure the assessments of the identified Idiot Speakers are always balls-ups and totally so.  They lie and scrap the truth all the time.   

By my calculation, until he reached the 22 and the wing started interfering, Duane had covered 38m in 4.97 (make it 5) seconds for a running speed of 28km/h. Don't know what the average loose forward travels at but it certainly didn't look too shabby. Tahs 10 made no ground on him until he started battling with the wing.

There is nothing wrong with his speed. It's a rather flimsy excuse to omit him. 

Thor is physical. Coetzee is like a nerf ball being thrown by an 80 year old woman into a brick wall. 

Where was that physicality for Ulster, or the Boks on Saturday? More physical than Thor...

His best run was a bounce off a defender into space and stumbling into contact. 

Just one comment from AO:-

You lambaste Alberts for security and recovery, for not winning turnovers? What do you think Steph does? Clean rucks? Win turnovers? You stepped over your planks again!

I saw Du Toit making 2 turnovers in one test last year - that was just one example.  Prob lem sis you are talking BS continuously stooge.
