With Nortje making waves powder puff is toast

Go compile some more lists, you're dumb doos you.

With  Snymsn's injury record over the past three ears I am not sure whether he is not a gamble to have in the Sprigbok squad - it seems to me he is injury prone.   It seems to me that with Browne around the better option is to look for more mobile locks and I do nt thnk Nortje is maybe of help - but I think we should look also at Schckerling with better ball skills for that purpose -  Another better option seems to be Van Heerden.

I agree with you about Mostert though - he is not the future player we need and is useless in breakdown ball protection .   

Despite all the kicking and screaming of some members  - Mozart and others - I think that Easmus is on the right route with player development.   The disccovey of the year is  Shaca - he is in many ways the best flyhalf I have ever seen playing for the Springboks - he has unbelievable ball skills, pace and  reading of the game and will be an unbelievable future asset if he contiues with how he started.     I mentioned the guy last year as he future flyhalf of the Springboks - but no member even new he existed and as the Stormers never really used him at flyhalf  - I was not surprised how he performed for them recently in diffrent positions.   

To my mind he is at flyhaf the ideal pivot to be used to organize the backline usage in backline  attacking play.    For the present we have  adequate present and potential 12's in the game - I have noticed a huge difference in the way De Allende played recetly and I hink he benefitted from Browne's presence as well.   He is likely to be around for at least the next two years and amy even go through to WC 2027.

The real player that would be difficult to replace s P-S du Toit. - to my mind the best loosie in World Rugby at present and very likely to be World Player of the Year this year again.    

But Mozart and the present crowd both hate De Allende and Du Toit for many years now - they do not rate them at all,   Same  with their unreasonable myths about player replacements, while the incumbents are in top form and recognized as such .by experts throuhout the rugby world.   

I tried to explain the strategy of Erasmus to use experienced Sprngbk players to help with enhancing the skills of replacement playes in the training program - but they keep moaning about why these players are still of value and they moan saying that they are not replaced already and given enough game time to the younger playes - which I believe is BS.

And  hope it will be the skilled younger players that should start on Saturday with a few expereieced playes around to co-ordinate things and used from the bench only if neded, 

Shaca's father Nic Feinberg said Shaca had  a hand injury last year and Erasmus phoned Shaca personally to speak to him about his future and Erasmus telling him about he has great plans for Shaca fo the future .   That shows the kind of relationship that Erasmus maintains with the players in general.

The more trophies the Springboks win the better they are getting, but some membes refue to recognize that.   I am more optimistic now about a squad that will win the 2027 WC. 

     .   .            .           .          .                  

Bet you sell a lot of sour cream .

Why he was not the 5 for the WC and onwards is beyond rugby comprehension

Because he's injured half the time would be my guess.

Pity about RG, but I think many tall people that have a gland issue reason why they get so big becomes prone to injuries more than other, RG is a giant' but he needs a lot to keep him together. I think he is another Andries Becker. He probably played no more than 400 min in the last 4 years. 

He should go to Japan to extend his Career. 

Nortje has a great engine, like Mostert. He is highly rated by White. We need this vanilla players to make sure the rest can shine etc. 

Will be hard to replace a player like Etzebeth that can give us that go forward ball

So you think our lineouts were great in the AB tests without Mostert. Gosh, I seem to recall Rasmus bemoaning  Nortje’s inexperience….are those the waves you are referring to Eggyolk.

Except when Mostert played and was lineout captain our lineout went like clockwork….but when he was absent our lineout was poor against NZ. Not my view…Rasmus’ view. Believe the prophet.

What the hell are you talking about?     Mostert is 33 year of age and you want to retain him in teh team and dispose of Du Toit.    What kind of shit can you invent to spout on this site.   Mostert wa neve a top class player - he was from 2018 seleted when beter locks were absent due to injury.

 fact n e main he wa useless a a ball carrier in rafic - was poor in defense by never making effective tackles and went AWOL when it omes to ball protection in recovery.

You make ignorant comments about replacement of older players and you come up wih Mostert not to be replaced.    That looks inceasingly supid on your part - for heavens sake he is aready 33 years of age. 

I know you stii sht on ste - but that makes you look increasingly stupid.  You in four years  attacked  Meyer's idiocy only once and when Coetzee was fired because of gross incompetent, you came up with BS that SARU sould rather retain Coetzee rather than appoint Erasmus.    Now yous tart 4 threads a day i a desperate effrt to prove non-existant iddiocies and repea strings of BS on site.   It really is getting boring to see how you know nothing else about rugby  than to write idioctic comments onm this site,   

    .

Do the stop the lying Eggyolk

‘ Rasmus’ post match comments included these remarks:

“It was just overthrown by the hooker and sometimes they didn’t even go up so that’s a timing issue,” the Bok boss explained.

“We have to understand that a guy like Ruan Nortje is early in his career and it was only his second game against New Zealand.

“Last week, we had Pieter-Steph help him call the lineout but this week it was solely on him, so he will have learnt a lot and the All Blacks did their homework and contested well.”

The lineout was not the only area of the game that New Zealand were able to put the Boks under pressure with Erasmus believing that the All Black comfortably got the better of his side at the breakdown with Scott Robertson’s men winning nine turnovers.

Guess who will be fit & ready for the EOYT ................ our lineouts will once again be as sweet as.

ouDawie, a peace offering, my gift to you.

Eggyolk stop lying ….Rasmus makes it very clear our lineouts did not go well.

Especially Eggyolk.
