This makes sad reading - geriatric Boks

 Fortunately the game will not be shown on our sports TV network.

Not a pretty sight . Add a year to each player come world cup time.

Great insight HasBeen we have to add a year to get to RWC time....I see you have joined the ranks of the bawlers.  

 Nope but any sane person would be concerned Moz. The general view is Meyer is being very conservative. I am a bit uneasy with some of these picks. I am trusting that there will be sifting and certainly in the RC there is no place to hide. If after that the chaff is not sent packing then we have a problem. 
It is also questionable whether Meyer is using his chances wisely. We shall see. I am not giving up on Meyer yet.

 Players past the age of 30 are in general past their sell-by date.  The prime [performance of players are between 25 and 29 years of age.  Over 30 decline sets in. Jean de Villiers said hee has to train twice as hard at 31 as he did when he was 29 to maintain the standard he maintained at 29.   
Does any of the other over 30"s do that?   Some would - but the Club players in Europe and   Japan as a rule will not.  Kaino said that Japanese rugby is soft and does not require from player a major effort.  
Looking at the European Club players as a rule - they are not in top physical condition as well.  Francois Steyn came back from Europ e as fat as a pig - Gurthro Steenkamp is even fatter - and after two years he is still slow and over-weight and he is only 27. Of the foreign based players one can be sure Habana won't let go and the much younger Louw will not as well.   The rest is just run of the mill club players and definitely extremely questionable perfomers - with Morne Steyn the pits.
When asked about the latter - Neyer said he has a back problem and that is why he is being used sparingly by the Stade Francais couch.  Absolute crap - Morne does not meet requirements.  If he had a back problem they would not play him at all to allow for full recovery.   They do use him sparingly because he buggers up even in the few minutes he get used from the bench.
What a collection - we have a wacky-knee Steyn and a sore back Steyn all in our starting line-up?   Then we have Thick Plank Alberts and the geriatrics.   There is enough there for a Hollywood movie among that lot.   We should start a collection to buy wheel chairs for the geriatrics.     .                   

 It's bloody shocking to think that we have so many old players in the team. Not a single young player. He has got it completely wrong. Expect more boring rugby for the next two years.
I don't mind a few older players but to have a whole team that old is simply shocking. White had a really good mix of youth and age in his 2007 team. The only senior players were Os and Percy. I was hoping Meyer would do the same.

 Oh shuttup scumbag do you have to pollute every string with your obvious rubbish.
Look HasBeen if you swop Etzebeth for Bakkies you drop to 28.5 years. And the RWC winning teams have tended to be in the 27 to 28 range. Meyer is testing the oldsters and forcing the young players to compete...to be hungry. 
And here's the thing which young player who is fully fit for this game has really made the case he is Bok ready. And which youngster if left out deprives us of some dimension we don't have in team. None I can think of....this is all bs.

 Shut up Rugby Illiterate and start thinking - must you always pollute the Board with your obvious Bullshit.  

I have to disagree with you Moz, which is very rare.
This is the Boks playing a non-Test, which is 'officially' not a cap and does not go on the coaches record.
This would have been the ideal opportunity to give a few youngsters a run out and give them hopes and aspirations but this opportunity has been passed over. It is really a shame.
As you asked who should be there for this game, Burden, Malherbe, Kockitt (for the wrong side, Reinach), Mvovo, Lood, check how Brussouw is shaping up, De Jong and JJ to make sure how shit they really are, Jantjies so he can really prove how shit he is. The list is endless.
I say opportunity missed by Heineken, once again. The game counts for nothing.
