An empty canvas for the worst rugby calls ever made to date.
Ideally, try to reference the exact thread with the specific link as evidence of the blunder. Once all of the nominees have been made, a winner will be decided by democratic agreement.
The Boks had two chances Slim and None. And Slim left town when Pierre Spies got injured.....circa September 25 2007....posted by Rooinek.

There's your worst call...no need to go further.
Slade is the best center in the world - sometimes in July last year.
Youngs will run circles around Stephanie - just over a week ago,
Du Toit break the line and made a kick gathered by Jantjies - ending up with a De Jager try in the RC test against Australia. The classic - the kick was worthless - the ball could have bounced differently.
Lets go back 5 years. The Springboks led in the 2014 Johannesburg test. Matfield fucked up a Springboks throw-in the line-out and the AB scored and went into the lead. A few minutes later the Springboks got a penalty about nearly on the 10 meter line in the AB half of the field. Mozart said it was no pressure kick after Lambie converted the kick. Only Springboks win over the AB's with Meyer as coach.
I can add another 20 - but will wait for a response on those four.

Oct 29, 2019, 17:28....yep you guessed it, Stephanie vs Youngs. The risk clearly outlined in last Sunday's Welsh try, in part enabled by Stephanie's slow break off the scrum. And in the two other breaks round his side of the scrum at minutes 7.40 and 23.10, where Stephanie missed tackles.
Herr Dreck's word is the most bankrupt currency known to man. It hasn't been a good day for Herr Dreck, but he soldiers on.
He doesn't even perform with the aid of hindsight. Inspector Gemors.
The obvious BS - did it happen in the final - dimness?
And another lie on Du Toit also in evidence. First he blamed Du Toit for the try. He persisted with that until it was clear that it was physically impossible to tackle the ball carrier.. Then the twist came about tackling the scrummie. The Welsh scrum was turned and the Welsh 8 picked up the ball and De Klerk tried to tackle him, but the 8 off-loaded the ball to the scrummie. So who was between Du Toit and the scrummie - Mozart claimed he should have tackled? Both the Welsh no 8 and De Klerk. Impossible for Du Toit to get over or past them in time to tackle the scrummie - another lie exposed.
What about the other three?
More lies....I never said Dud should tackle the wing....ever. You have to copy and paste Dud, as Augie says your currency is bankrupt.
No you said afterwards that he should have tackled the scrummie - which turned out to be a distortion as well. Better stop lying - best ad ice I can offer you.
That was in 2013 dimwit Pakie. I said we should watch how he develops over the forthcoming years and he did not. Never said he was a Springbok selection certainty at all.
Paste what I said Muck.
As a dog returns to its own vomit, so too Dreck returns to his foul pool of lies and there drinks to a stupor.
If everybody is forbidden to look at and remark on potential future players - this forum should close down.
AO
I may be wrong at times and apologize afterwards - but I do not lie and distort that is common obn site by you and Mozart
There you go again Dreck, shifting around. Who said anything about forbidding predictions. The thread is merely bringing together the worst of those predictions. I'm sorry that all your skeletons are gathered together at the elegy of your integrity, but it is a tad funny.
All those thousands of times you have told other members how stupid they are, it's coming back to bite you. What is it about those members who tell everyone how stupid they are and perpetual failure?
If everybody is forbidden to look at and remark on potential future players - this forum should close down.
I think this is supposed to be a bit of fun, Mike. Everybody makes wrong calls. I rated Luke Watson a better prospect than Schalk at one time. Learn to laugh at yourself every now and then, makes life much easier to stomach.
Real clangers relate to our two IRB rugby players of the year.
Poor rooibozo like that very confused gentleman Pakster preferred Luke Watson to Schalk Burger. An amazing blunder.
Then we had the Trio disparaging Rassie, Du Toit, Allende and Malherbe!
Meanwhile Pakster made some vacuous comment to the effect how stupid Beeno is.
Amazing how Beeno gets it right so often but Pakster show he has no clue whatsoever! Bwhahahahahahaha.
Pakster you are being mislead by Organhuffer who has taken leave of his senses.
Dr Moz had a poor RWC but there are signs of a return to form. Alas no such luck with Organhuffer who stumbles on regardless of the facts.
Still laugh at Organhuffer say in ng Allende has poor upper body strength. Hahahahaha.
To much analysis and an overheated imagination could be the cause of the Huffer's weird comments. We wish him a speedy recovery along with the hapless Pakster.
It's rather simple, show me this strong upper body strength. You will never see a successful Damian carry without the leg drive and lowering of upper body to barrel or push through the tackler. He especially targets weak shoulders, usually taking on the outside shoulder of the defender. When confronted with physicality he is blown away. I have been asking for six years for evidence of these supposed qualities in Damian's game and all I receive are insults or dulled expressions. Six years and nada.
(I endorsed Malherbe last season, but noted his poor play this year. He gained form later in the tournament. He was exceptionally slow around the field against New Zealand)
Indeed, you seldom step out of the shadow of popular opinion, Beeno Well wishes received with thanks, even though mental health is remarkably steady at this time.
Pakster having got it so wrong about Luke Watson and Steph Du Toit may I suggest to recognize your limitations Bwahahaha haha
Please pay closer attention to your betters.
Organhuffer the universal acclaim of Allende's efforts should by now have come to your attention..
You are living in the Trio Bubble and now can only admit you got it hopelessly wrong. Whereas Mike got it right.
Get well soon!
That idiot AO - keep up a myth he developed about weak upper body strength of De Allende. He has zero grounds for that assertion and is as clueless as they come about rugby anyway. Lunacy does not equate to reality. It probably equates to the most stupid comment ever on this site.
This is what happens when you live in a bubble the little echo chamber of the Trio - or can one add cerudunce to make it a quartet!
Ou cerudunce doesn't know the difference between a team and a pack of forwards!!!
Beeno - indeed when they live in a bubble, but AO for one should be in a rugby lunacy asylum and guarded carefully/ LMAO
Well it's reaching padded cell proportions Mike but being decent people we wish them a speedy recovery.
I can't recall a bigger set of blunders on a rugby website. We were lectured endlessly on these issues. Stats, diagrams, videos etc etc all to make shambolic cases that crashed and burned.
The really interesting question is why did such smart people get it wrong. I have offered living in a bubble and group think as a possibility but could it be something else?
Beeno
It is entirely built on PREJUDICE which developed over a five year period and got sicker as it grew. It started off because the younger players posed a selection threat to their "golden oldies" and develop into a mania.
The norm was to look at games for hours trying to find mistakes made by the players they were prejudiced against, If they found zero evidence they manufactured stories about games, which often enough was based on make-believe possibilities and in some cases very real lies.
Fact is they disliked Erasmus from the word go and tried to besmirch his name and career as a coach, AO is the real idiot in this case. They were all Meyer supporters and to a lesser extent Jake White supporters - who could not stand Erasmus as coach. What they feared happened and now it turns into a fictional comparison on how under White and Meyer the team was magnificently coached and performed much better than under Erasmus. The problem is that in their calculations on stats they leave out critical info that totally negates their ramblings,
All that one can hope for is that their childish conduct will change for the better. . .
"They were all Meyer supporters and to a lesser extent Jake White supporters"
I rate Jake higher than Meyer. Shows what you know. Most of my "favourite" coaches are Australian. You couldn't even get that right.
Here's the truth. Right from the second Rassie was appointed it was about Meyer. You don't even talk as much about Rassie's predecessor. You continually compare Rassie to seasons seven years old. You lose these exchanges because you lie. You lie because you are emotionally attached to the anti-Meyer who just so happens to be the anti-Lügnerin. It couldn't be any funnier.
Here's a little bit of homework for you. Tell me what the Stormers attack record is for the years 2008 to 2017. Then compare them to the Boks. If you can accomplish that, I won't hold my breath, you'll have learned something very valuable that will diminish your shame.
Be careful not to lie. I already have all the data for Super rugby going back to 2006. I've already assessed this progressively each season. You will be exposed.
Hell - but you are a total idiot. In the period you refer to Erasmus was the coach for less than three years - he then left the coaching to Coetzee and as from 2012 he had zero relationship with the Stormers at all. Up to the time Erasmus was involved in coaching at the WP the team was competitive. However, as expected Coetzee failed as coach and his main problem was backline coaching incompetence.
So what has your question about the Stormers lack of tries to do with Erasmus dimness?
No Mozart
Your wits has taken a downturn to a level of a farce ad the idiot AO cry over it. Idiot Speak is a language you and him developed to a fine art.

Aug 13, 2013, 10:12If Coetzee cannot see that Kolbe is out-and-out a Sevens player and not suited to play 15 man-rugby - he must be more nuts than he was considered to be previously. However, by now we know the Coetzee norm - the smaller the better. Unfortunately that does not work out and Kolbe will be a non-factor at WP.

May 17, 2019, 18:36No - I ma one of the few people on site who are really objective.
0 0 LikesAlways am and always was, I have no favourites and no pet hates, I look at a player and his performances in tests, I may started questioning player performances after two or three tests and by the time that a player had give or six games I would have seen the general trend of a player,
I do not try for hours to find deficiencies in players through nitpicking and if there is nothing found - just dream up an incident and publish it on site - whether true or false does not matter ,
I defend players under constant attack by some members especially when the attacks have nothing to do with reality,
