He thinks the current Bok team is an all-time great rugby team, perhaps better than the 2015 All Blacks. (Assuming more teams are better now). He commented that the Boks have used 51 players this year, and everyone just slots into the system seamlessly).
Staff true - but te prima donnas on site think that coaching of teams are not needed when experience players will do the job all n their own.
Rasmus has a far better talent/opposition equation than Jake ever had. I know it’s hard to grasp, but rugby is competitive. The weaker the opposition and the stronger your talent pool….the less challenging the accomplishment
Rasmus is playing the weakest Aussie and AB teams since readmission and is benefiting from a mature flow of talent from non traditional sources. White had Habana, JP and no forwards at all.
Blah, blah….Scotland, Ireland and France may be better. But they haven’t won any WCs. They are no substitute for triple WC winning NZ or double WC winning Australia.. As for Jake’s talent pool it was filled with greats he brought in, rather than greats he inherited like Rasmus. But he had 2 players of color….not 7 like Rasmus. The player pool is far bigger now.
Dave stop talking Ramballs.
It doesn’t matter if a team that are inherently worse than you gets better ….but it does matter if a team that was as good or better than you gets worse.
And Ireland beat us. Not only at the WC but also on our home court. And they are a professional team, but hardly explosive.
Stop talking Ramballs.
More teams don’t matter.,,,.the fact that NZ and Australia, teams that have beaten us in multiple World Cups are far, far weaker matters. Ponder that and try to learn.
But we lost to Ireland Dave….you keep telling us how much better a team they are. Okay we lost to them. Fortunately NZ, who we beat by 1 point, even though they were a man down for half the game, took care of Ireland.
Here’s the truth, this is a competent Irish team….but they are nothing like as formidable as NZ in any other WC. Or as Oz was through 2015.
