Win ratios for our current Boks with more than a few games are quite interesting:

 

Willie 83%

Etzebeth 78%

Alberts 75%

Bismarck 75%

JP 75%

Frans 73%

Beast 72%

Fury 72%

 

 

These are some of the Boks held in highest regard and they also have the highest win ratios. Coincidence? Or do the best players really help their team to win?

 

You could, however, reverse the causality. Perhaps these players are respected because they have been in winning teams.

 

Tricky stuff statistics.

 Whats their winning record against the ABs? Have Lady Elizabeth and LeRoux ever been in a team that beat the ABs? Maybe its because of them that the Boks are NZs little lady boys. 
Tricky stuff statistics....

 So your null hypothesis is that the Boks winningest players are in fact causing them to lose against NZ? Whereas players with less wins in their resumes are not implicated. This must be a NZ logic thing.

Erm, how do you get any less wins than zero Einstein? That must be some crazy Malema logic there.

 Hahaha you sure know how to hurt a guy.....I guess if  you lose the last 8 or so America's Cup races....that's worse than not winning at all.

Another cup for NZ...lolz.


Saffex may change his haircut or maybe NZ rugby players will adopt this style...and spearhead their tries.  

BEARD BROTHERS: Jeremy Mayall and Jason Hansen hope to represent New Zealand at next year's World Beard and Moustache Championships in Norway.  .

Nope JW..... I can detect two Rugby World Cups in there.....and yes, one of them is telling me it was won away from home.   It says we beat the English at Fortress Twickenham in the final. Er, what's your Rugby World Cup telling you?

Thanks for alerting us to the BMWC Chabal. I wonder if they only give points for the beard or if the environment of the beard is taken into acco unt.

 I hate the chicken and egg statement. I get people going on about it everyday at work.
If you run a comparison with NZ teams then some of their players would have stats in the 90% or even 100%. Especially those that played last year. 
The fact is, SA have not hit a golden patch where they have won 17 in row the way Mallet did back in 97/98. 
Although, if these players are good enough, losing will drive them to want to become number 1

Perhaps Corn if you didn't work on a farm there wouldn't be so much chicken talk?

Talking about cups and trophies...Sasuke would say there is no more cupboard space left in NZ...all taken up...lolz




One day Rastus came home with a big silver cup.


Lulabelle says...Lawks sake Rastus, where you go and win that big silver cup.


Rastus (he look a bit embarrassed) and says; "well, Lulabelle. it's like this...entered a competition and won it for having the longest, you know, thing!"


"Oh lawdy Rastus, no...Lulabelle exclaims in horror...you don't mean that you're a bin a showin' off all of that big,long, dog gone black tool of you's.


"No Lulabelle", replies Rastus shyly..."not all of it...just enough to win the prize!"

 Mozart, a chicken farm would be a whole lot better than the lot I have to do deal with everyday.

The human race tends to disappoint Corn. But you  have your pals here on Ruckers Forum....and there's always rugby to watch. Here's hoping you get better colleagues.
