The missing BIG FIVE

Actually things got much better after Dud left….Malherbe was lucky in the penalty stakes in a few tests, arguably part of the mix but well covered by Koch and co,

I agree Kolbe has to create something out of nothing…Bok back play is non existent.

Snyman is a fabulous athlete, but will he be allowed to offload in the Harrassmiss set up.

Faf is undoubtedly missed….the Big One.

Another day - another misrepresentation as expected.    One should actually just laugh at the rugby stupidity involved,    

Actually I laughed at Rublev…., you sure know how to pick ‘em.

I never picked him stooge - the following is the last comment I wrote about Rublev:-

I thought Rublev  was not up to standard and his loss against Paul was not unexpected.    He seems to lose games because of his wild and irresponsible game when in the lead.   In two  games in of the  third  set he was 15-40 up and lost both games.   His confidence is lacking and he will have to get over it if he wants to remain in the top 10 rankings.    

By the way I do not make a total fool of myself like you do.   Remember Alcaraz  and the ares hole you make of yourslef when he lost against Murray - three weeks later he gave Murray a real tennis lesson.   Then you went ballistic about Gaston  - Alcaraz beat him easily in the major EOY Campions tournament for Under 21 players.  He is just 18 years old and  the other players were 20 and 21 year olds.   Keep on making a fool of yourself - you ignorant prcik.      .    

Actually you completely missed the point about Gaston…I was making fun of the result. As usual the English language proved a bridge too far.

But 6 months ago Rublev was your man to take it all, don’t pretend he wasn’t.

Malherbe was excellent in 2018, then awful in 2019, but kind of built up a bit of form after the NZ WC defeat. He has been well off the pace in every game, belly flopping constantly.

Kolbe hasn't been playing well when available. Aerial inferiority and defensive lapses. Another player on a downward trajectory under the hand of Josè?

PTSD is not needed. A very mediocre player. 

Yeah, sure. A blindsider who defends like a baby giraffe on ice would have been more effective against Aus and NZ. He has a very poor history of fronting up to those sides, they bamboozle him time and again. PTSD is a poor man's Muller out of position and out of his depth. 

Poor old Pieter Steff du Toit,  17 tackles made/5 missed against the Lions…..versus Mostert’s 29 tackles made/3 missed in the same 2 matches. Running? Dud gained a massive 8 metres in 6 carries. And then was monstered by a wing and injured again. How the blue blazes can we miss that!

Meanwhile Mostert just grinds on absorbing  all the punishment, being in the right place at the right time….saving the Boks’ bacon with a critical lineout steal right on the Boks’ line vs Scotland.

A great loss which coincided with the turnaround of the Lions’ series…..uhm….,something wrong with that picture. LMAOFY&Y!

Oh, we came third in the Rugby Cup….what’s your point?

Steph had the worst defensive record under Josè but its the best in the game, but Wiese's 98% is a problem. I'm beginning to see a common problem with the Kak Pack: innumeracy. 

Not sure about Malherbe, Trevor has been a solid job at tight head. Koch is better and so is Louw, he struggled during the lions. 

Steph definitely, Kolbe yes, De  Klerk too. RG hasn't played since the WC final. So no longer in contention, don't know if he would ever play again. But I would love to see him and Eben together

Dave you are soon to receive an invite from CM to join him for an evening at the Malherba's .

Don't forget to get his autograph and a photo of the three of you.

Enjoy the evening.

Dave let me try to help…..against the Lions we had a game and a half with Dud that we lost…..and then a game and a half without Dud that we won handsomely.

Reasonable conclusion Dud was not necessary for our success.

We had 4 games against Oz and NZ….3 of which we lost……all without Dud. What conclusion can one reach about that…..nothing. You can’t have a controlled experiment of a player’s effect on the team if he wasn’t present.

Ranks about 30th as a carrier, and that's just South Africans ball carriers, has statistically the most porous defence. Can't pass. What does he actually do? Much less what does he do well. At the breakdown? Every now and then a positive contribution. Not enough to be a trend. The Kak Pack have no answers, just shouting opinions like Eric Cartman.
