It’s not Nienaber….it’s Harrassmus. As you yourself told us Dave Nienaber is just a puppet.
So let me rephrase your statement to be consistent…..Harrrassmus you idiot.
Have you heard of this great new bit of technology called the telephone?
You can’t be serious!
Krutch said himself that Josè has been very much involved in preparations. Case closes as Unteromlett cracks wide open.
If Rassie gets involved we are told he should leave the Coach to do his job. If he doesn't interfere he should.
Face facts with these two duds Rassie cannot win Dave, When you complain bitterly about a RC win, and RWC win and a Lions series win you are far, far gone.
My pack for this test would be:
Kitshoff, Marx and Nyankane
Given there is no Lood, Snyman or Du Toit available for selection I would go for Mostert and bring in Du Preez at 7. Given that the Wobblies will try their expansive game maybe Kwagga. I would have settled with Kwagga if we had another powerhouse lock like Lood or Snyman. But given we haven't probably not.
I would also start with Wiese. Kolisi gets a pep talk but starts.
Reserves:
Ox, Bongi and Koch
Vermuelen (Du Preez covers lock)
Van Staden and Kwagga.
We have three world class forwards unavailable (Du Toit, Snyman and Lood) and Orie looks to be a solid quota, this has effected the Boks pack on which our success has been built.
Given a fair ref we can still win. But they now think Rassie will not dare to create another video. So shafting the Boks is okay once again as we saw in the match against the Wobblies and the scrum debacle.
