Indeed, it was a moment of truth when Du Preez came on. A lot of us haven't seen him play rugby since he left for Japan. but boy, the guy is still sizzling hot, our backs were despatched effortlessly, and the vision to attack the gain line was second to none. That was great to watch the Boks playing running rugby without wasting too many balls with their usual aimless kicks. Quoting Beeno1; " I can only hope SARFU etc will do everything possible to get Fourie DuPreez back. I haven't seen passing and a quick silver service like tha tfor some time.I can only hope SARFU etc will do everything possible to get Fourie DuPreez back.

 du Preez was very good, certainly a far better option than Pienaar, but what's the point of playing him when he is not available to play.

Snapster being the shrewed coach Meyer is he is trying to entice him back. Fourie is obviously still a brilliant player despite your not realising this. Watch and learn from Meyer!

Some under 16 coaches do not realise their severe limitations.

Meyer is not in a position to teach me anything - he has many suspect selections and is yet to face a stern test this year - lets talk post Oz and NZ.

 

Meyer relies on too many hasbeen or neverbeens, we were great yesterday, but were piss poor against Italy and Scotland earlier in the year. 

 

He needs to move on from Basson, Morne, Pienaar and Juandre Kruger and use our impressive backs......we have some real clout in Willie, Habana, JJ, Jean, Serfontein and Lambie.......if only JP was available.
