wee All Black forwards crapping themselves about facing Bok Power Pack

The likes of Romano and Retalick are having some extreme nightmares about facing the boks.

It will be many sleepless nights about facing the might of

Ezebeth and co. 

 We have got Strauss starting who is the probably the best tight forward ball carrier in the world.

Then on the bench is Bismaark.

Ezebeth must be the strongest lock in world rugby, and then

we have Alberts and Vermuelen in the backrow. 

Coenie is the best prop in the loose, and it coming on in

the tight head position.

A Beast & Coenie front row could be on the cards.

The scrum looks like the best so far in the 4 nations with

the new rules.

It seems to favour the bigger stronger scrum, with less

tricks to fool the referee. 

 @sharkbok: you keep telling yourself that, it might help you sleep at night, lol

They showed good signs in the back & forwards but this was no more that a practice warm-up game for them. They needed it if only to get some of their "Bok supporters" off their back.

IMO they wll also give Oz a good thumping unless OZ get's their back clicking first.

Now the ABs they are a different matter altogether, they are not even warmed up yet and they played "their dad's army" players. Imagine what they will be like if they field 5 or 6 un-capped players (Oz strategy against RWC winners.

 Exactly sharkbok. As I said just imagine when the likes of Malherbe, Du toit, Arno Botha Jaque Du Plessis , Deon Fourie etc join the match 22. 

The abs are already quaking in their boots!!! crude is finding a place to hide and wee mcaaaw is thinking about another sabatical!  Retardlick is the only oak without a problem as he cant think and has no imagination

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.

 Hey Mike do you realsie the abs are building a pack to be feared. Who would have thought it!

- an ab forward after a test against the mighty Bokke! Hahahahahhahahahaha

 Nice to see you boys with a bit of confidence on this thread. Makes a change from ripping into your own coach & team, lol

No worries about the AB pack, they will be just fine.

Beeno1: is that an emoticon picture of you getting the crap knocked out of you, it sure looks like it.  

 Hi there JW we are just enjoying the moment and the deep and certain knowledge of ab fear! 

Anyhow all in good fun JW so dont have sleepless nights.

 By the way Sharkbok do you realise that had Du Toit and Coenie been of the field we would have seen about 940kg of Bok power - similar to the Stormers power pack we so sadly never saw due to injuries - one of my biggest regrets in watching rugby.

 Glad to see some running rugby built on solid forward play & that was the case against Argentina. She makes a change from the recent Bulls/Bok play. Now that puts me to sleep.

keep deluding yourself poly the abs days are numbered and we shall in due course be Bok too traditional Bok rule.

Get used to the idea it could prevent a nervous beak down!

 Hey Hasbeeno, after scoffing at the Haka like you do continually, what the hell was that performance when the Boks ran on to the field last night?

Looks like they grabbed some poor bloke off the street, dressed him in a cheetah skin, gave him a spear, set him on fire and said "Go for it son!". No wonder he was leaping around like a lunatic with all those sparks flying!

Give me a quiet, controlled Haka any day!

 I must say I have not seen a dominant All Black forward performance like the Boks delivered against Argentina. 

The All Blacks backline passing skills are great and the game plan is to go wide as quick as possibale, and then have smaller forwards play more as fetchers than carriers. 

Having fetcher forwards instead of carriers, allows the AllBlacks to take it wide in the backs, and then retain possesion in the tackle area by having more forwards to the ruck quicker.

The game plan is move the ball away from the forwards as quick as possibale by shovelling it out in the backs.

 This also largely takes the opposition forwards out of the game, especially the opposition tight forwards. 

The same applies for counter attacks like Australia experienced on Saterday.

When the outside Australian backs were tackled, the wee All Black forwards were all over them at the ruck area.

Saterday against Argentina was a lesson in true forward domination. 

yawwwwwwwwwwwn, :o/

2012
Bok fans talk up the Bok forwards.

Bok fans question the All Blacks forwards.

Boks lose to the All Blacks.

Bok fans go quiet.

2013
rinse & repeat, :oD

 Sasuke, the Boks lost the 2012 games in the backline defence, and not in the forwards.

If we can stop the wee All Black forwards from diving on our ball at the rucks we will control proceedings

@sharkbok,

All Blacks vs Boks in dunedin

All Blacks vs Boks in sowetto

but as the numbers quite clearly show, the Bok forwards did sweet fudge all against the All Blacks forwards, in the breakdowns, in the lineouts and in the scrums, Boks forwards were beaten soundly as a whole except come the mauls, SA forwards only pillar of dominance.

hence 2013 rinse and repeat.

all good though, nothing worng with barracking for ur team, or making things up,  im just trying to picutre the creative excuses were going to hear this time round should the Boks not win.

if ur wallaby/All Black prediciton is anything to go by, i would start working on those excuses now, :oP

Oh dear. 1 win against a 14 man, 10th ranked team at home and at altitude and the fanboys are already polishing their empty trophy cabinet in anticipation of some long sought after silverware.  The Bok forward fairy tale is wheeled out every year in one form or another only to be soundly debunked by the tiny wee All Blacks.  Besides, Scotland have provided the most recent evidence of the frailty of the "dominant Bok forward" myth.  We will have to wait and see but if recent history is the best indicator of future outcomes, the fanboys are in for another coulda, woulda, shoulda, didn't year.  

 Point taken CM.  I agree. I think the ABs will need to tidy up some key areas (mostly around the set piece) if they are to compete with the Boks. In addition to the ABs poor line out options, the other concern was ill discipline. Morne is just as capable as Leliafano at converting penalty shots so the ABs will need to be far more disciplined in their own half.  I think the line outs are easily rectified.  What's encouraging is that all the necessary improvements can be realistically managed. It's not as if they need their players to run faster, jump higher or kick further.  All the improvements are within their capabilities.  We'll have to wait a few weeks before an accurate assessment of both teams genuine abilities can be made.
