Wallaby coach Michael Cheika has named his squad for the 2017 Rugby Championship and he's left out Quade Cooper, Rob Horne and Scott Higginbotham.


Forwards

Jermaine Ainsley, Adam Coleman, Pek Cowan, Jack Dempsey, Kane Douglas, Sef Fa'agase, Tetera Faulkner, Ned Hanigan, Richard Hardwick, Michael Hooper, Sekope Kepu, Adam Korczyk, Tolu Latu, Sean McMahon, Stephen Moore (c), Tatafu Polota-Nau, Tom Robertson, Izack Rodda, Lopeti Timani, Taniela Tupou, Jordan Uelese.


Backs

Kurtley Beale, Israel Folau, Bernard Foley, Will Genia, Dane Haylett-Petty, Reece Hodge, Karmichael Hunt, Samu Kerevi, Marika Koroibete, Campbell Magnay, Billy Meakes, Eto Nabuli, Sefa Naivalu, Izaia Perese, Nick Phipps, Curtis Rona.


The Australian Super Rugby sides have been nothing short of pathetic this season and the Wallabies themselves were beaten at home by Scotland in June and only just managed to beat Italy. I know we think we're in a slump but we're not as bad as the Aussies!

So Mozart's ex-hero Kuridrani is not in the squad - wonder why?

I expect the Boks to be much improved in the Rugby Champs, but the best we can hope for, and what I predict, is for us to end second behind the AB's. I must just add a little bit of caution, we only have the French to measure ourselves against, an they have to be the most inconsistent rugby yardstick ever, so the jury is still out. That said, we did look a lot better in Super Rugby this year than last...that normally translates into a better Springbok side. 
We shall see.

Ou Maaik, Moffie thought Tevita Kuridrani was Samu Kerevi . . . just as he thought Jaco Taute was Francois Hougaard and Philip van der Walt was Chris Cloete!

LMAO!

I think 1st and 2nd places are done and dusted and it's just a question of which one of the Wallabies or the Pumas comes last.

 The story made up by Mozart at the time was that De Allende missed a tackle on Kuridrani.   The facts were so distorted that it is unbelievable.   First of all Kuridrani was supposed to be covered by De Jongh - who went AWOL in the case and Kuridrani got a free run.   De Allende had to come from the inside  to fill the hole left by De Jongh.   De Allende as not fully succeesful in the tackle - but the real truth is that Kuridrani was so de-stabilized by the tackle attempt - he spilled the ball - followed by a scrum.  
You should read the story Mozart made up about that one.   He was lying as was the case so often in the past.

 That game you went on about was not a test BSter - it was a Stormers Brumbies game.   Get your facts right liar.

You are such an expert in finding a threat - but this one is not so.   The thread I referred to was in a game between the Stormers and the Brumbies - but you went out lying about the test issue.   What a bloody fool.

The string is posted Tokkie....de Jongh was not playing. This is exactly like the time you said Adi Jacobs had a terrible game and he wasn't playing. You always get caught.

 You picked the wrong game BSTer.   It was a game between the Stormers and the Brumbies you lied about at the time.   Now you conveniently referred to a test match w hen your protegee De Jongh was not playing.
Don't start with your misleading of members again and take the knock out on the chin - coward.

 Look at he match between the Brumbies and the Stormers on 9 May 2015  at Newlands.  That was the game you were caught out easily about.   The stats were as follows:-
de Jongh0/001/2/7291001 6/20/000/0
de Allende0/001/1/370013 8/10/010/0
The two tackle misses by De Jongh did not include the AWOL moment.

 Maaik. Moz is always complaining about DdA's defence, so he would have complained about the test he mentioned...in fact, I recall the discussion about the try in the test. I put half the blame on Flo for hanging back on the inside...never mind...everytime DdA plays, there's a fight on here about crucial tackles missed.

 As you said he is always complaining about the player - but unfortunately he went on the rampage at the game I referred to and post a totally inadequate and false statement on what actually happened.   So when I mentioned the issue he went onto another game which was also followed by a discussion on De Allende to try and get away from the match and thread I referred to.

 Maaik, I can't keep up with all the spats and jabs, but defence is a problem in SA rugby ATM. Robbie Fleck also mentioned it recently. If you play more with the ball, you will concede more turnovers and defending from unstructured play is much more difficult than defence off set pieces. Our players are not used to having to do scramble defence, but the are working on it. DDA & PSDT can both tackle, but they slip tackles due to poor positioning and balance, or they break the defensive line by rushing too soon. It happens. Even Kieran Read botched one in the second Lions test, resulting in a try. Defence is still 50% of the game on a good day....on a bad day even more.

 Sign of the times ? About 50% of the names suggest that the players are of Maori or Polynesian descent .

I also dislike poor defense - but I do not use lies and deceit to create defensive lapses which did not exist - that I leave to Mozart.
