We are told that the youngsters coming through draw from the elderly's experience and that they are all the better for it. That it equips them for the future.
We are told that the leadership shown by the tired and the old play a very important role in the youngsters development. That they will realise their potential because of it, grow to maturity because of it and eventually go on to become great leaders themselves.
We are told that without this process we'll come to nothing. That the tired and the old are the future. That our progress depends heavily on their inclusion.
This begs the question ...
What can Habana teach Combrinck that Combrinck doesn't already know?
Anything? Anything at all? How about kicking from hand ... or perhaps running lines?
How much leadership did we see from Habana on Saturday? Anything? Do you think the boys learnt something from him on Saturday?
How about the vast amounts of experience he's gathered over the years? Did that rub off on anyone? Did any of the youngster draw on it as a support to aid them during this rout?
How about Strauss? Was he an active participant in leading the team forward? Did he rally the troops ... or did he duck for cover?
Did the quota Mbongnambi learn ANYTHING from him on Saturday? How about in previous test matches?
The fact remains that Kitshoff will scrum Beast into the ground. The fact remains that there isn't anything that Beast can pass on to Kitshoff. Nothing ... nada ... fokol.
The fact remains that Kitshoff is by far the better option and should by rights have started the match. It's a no brainer.
Bottom line ... the tired and the elderly are a waste of time. They contribute nothing to the teams progress. They are taking up spots that belong to the young. They are an embarrassment to us and have contributed greatly these last few years to our demise.
It is time for them to step aside. Their time has come and gone.

Coetzee is stubborn, his last interview sumed it up. "The best players are here"

And this game will go on and on. Everything goes to preserve the luxury named rugby.
Supporters go endlessly through their line up propositions.
Professional rugby practice should be stopped in SA. The resources are no longer there.

The team was picked by Coetzee and handed to Ackerman the Monday before the first game. They played TWO games - NOT three. The team had some really poor players in it selected as BEE players and although they lost both games they were -not disgraced by the England team - like the Springboks were recently.
You really are a nut-case.

Those games were more interesting than this one, that's for sure...and you could see that they were improving and gelling as a team. Based on the results, they would have won the 3rd game, it was blatantly obvious.
I remember watching those 2 games and thinking to myself "well, now it's a victory to finnish off these fuc* king Poms!!" and then the commentators say that there would be no third game...So much frustration xD

I guess we will never know. What we do know is the flavour of the day team lost two in a row.

@DirtyCut- well name your team.
Who are all these new young players that will make you match day team.

In other words, Shark .. you still believe that Coetzee's side was our best, right?
I've listed my match 23 several times over.
It did not have any of your favourites in it.
My front row would scrum yours into the ground. My loose trio would bully yours the entire 80. I would turn you over at the break down without much effort. My centre pair would break your De Jongh induced "defence" at will.
My bench would be used as a weapon and not to hide unwanted baggage.
In short ... your pathetic side would be fcked bloody ... much like what we saw on Saturday.
That was a side that received a double thumbs up from you, right? You told us how pleased you were with Coetzee's selections. I suppose you were even hopeful of a win?
Were you there ... all clad up in your Bok jersey and cap? Were you waving the Bok flag vigorously from side to side? Were you one of the many twats drowning out the awesome Haka?
Funny how so much noise died away to complete and utter stunned silence.
I suppose you were also part of the horde that left early, right?
It's pathetic "fans" like you that's bad for the sport.
You should rather stick to cheering the Proteas on and leave rugby to us who understand it.
