Dave

It would be in teresting to see what Erasmus and Browne come  up with.  You are probably right about the loosies - especially 

Du Toit and Roos as  playes that have the ball sense and skills to participate in backline attacks.

Tell me how you can pick dumb Lood over a Ruben van heerden on the bench??!! and yet again Dud the ball killer at 12?? Same old Shit, different Day!!

Roos is not an incumbent. He has hardly any test exposure…..he needs to show he can do it at the next level. But he does  have the ability to run with  the ball….something our ball carrier Dud Toit sorely lacks. He also helps out with Dud Toit’s woeful inability on the ground. I hope he makes it.

No more Lomp….a never has been.

And in the backs there is zero chance the incumbent side can execute a switch to a ball in hand game plan. Why? Because there there is road block….cul de sac at 12. Put Dud in space and he will veer into the first defender he can find.

And please don’t tell us how Dud was in 67 world teams McCaw was in many more and you don’t rate him.

The other thought that comes to mind is how old this team is in the forwards. Eluckmiss has zero starters he introduced. That leaves us with a complete revamp before WC 2027.

Listen here Mpower given how fucking rugby ignorant you are any take on a player I take with a pinch of salt

May 17, 2024, 15:24

No Moz Roos is not the incumbent but our incumbent has retired - Roos is by far the next best

It’s not the job of a lock turned blindside to compete on the ground - geez I thought you knew your rugby

DA is the best 12 in the game damn right he starts

May 17, 2024, 15:31

Stop dodging the Question…seriously how can you pick lood and not the Ruben you been so impressed with? His form, his age , everything counts in his favour….what happened to picking the young inform players for a change? This is the same 1 point thriller team. Not even a heathly mix of new inform players….dud is a dead end…..picking this team is not progress.

Because Lood is a class act a proven test star and is not done yet - simple really

Like Matfield said - Lood is the best 5 lock in the game

RG is better but Lood is one of the best

Ruben v Heerden is the future, his turn comes soon

Picking this team is spot on - it’s a WC winning side that happens to be number 1 in the game

Get a fucking grip

May 17, 2024, 18:10

No you need to get a grip…as you want to place our hope on has beens like Lood….he is not in that form at the moment and most probably never again. This incumbent team is not a progressive move to ensure future depth… some of those incumbents should be there yes, but the rest should be the inform players that were picked…the sooner you throw them in the action, the better for them and the team in a whole. Simple really.

Ruben ahead of lood any day for me...can RG play 4 when Eben retires?
