Here you have a writer with his head screwed on. I never heard these Eluckmiss comments. But it’s pretty clear Eluckmiss was not in any way committed to Pollard. Does anybody believe after reading this that absent Marx Handre would have been in France.
Also in the world of pussy footing reporters this guy tells the truth…we lost to France because Libbok’s kicking can’t be trusted. And on Saturday we saw that’s still true.
‘I’m sure it will take some time for him to find his kicking under pressure in big test matches’ says Eluckmiss.
How wrong was that….just more evidence he won in spite of his views.
". . . we lost to France because Libbok’s kicking can’t be trusted. "
(Sic)nek…..if you can’t figure out, given the article and the heading of the string that I was talking about Ireland, you are even more stupid than I think. Or were you deliberately trying to misunderstand? Hard to say.
LMAO!
Both of our resident grumpy and senile old coots are slipping away from reality . . . and their hilarious blunders are always someone else's fault.
If it's not ou Maaik accusing me of stealing his password and making all his typos for him then it's Moffie saying I deliberately mistook "Ireland" for "France" even though he typed "France"!
Moffie, I'd suggest you go have a cry on the shoulder of one of your Servile Gimps but you don't have many left, do you?
Bwaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahaha!
Cheer up old fossil, ButtPlug might be along soon so lets hope the nice nurse gives you your meds before he gets here so you ar least recognise him or remember who he is.
Okay …answer this. Did you know I was referring to Ireland or not. Let’s see how honest you are.
Well, if you were then it doesn't change the fact that your doddering and feeble old brain still translated it to France instead of Ireland . . . which is pretty much the point I'm making about you and ou Maaik. You both type up complete tripe and then get all indignant when people don't understand what it is you're trying to say.
Mozart when the dfinalk was la yed in the 2019 WC h e claimed that the final was at Twickenham - he didd indicate hat he made a mistake - but this time eh si trying to confuse us again. He wrote wh at ah ppeed before the French test - not the Irish one. Wonder how he thinks he cannot be caught out with BS.

So you admit you knew I was referring to Ireland?
Oh for goodness sake grow up. Everyone on this board knows exactly how you would be shrieking with joy and carrying on like a complete pork chop if the shoe was on the other foot and I'd got the country wrong (you might have to use your imagination a bit here). We'd be hearing about it for literally months on end and you'd probably change my name to France/Irelandnek or something equally stupid and childish. That is how you roll.
Who actually knows if you meant Ireland or if you're so out of touch with reality that you actually think we lost to France in the group stages? It could be either. You are so all over the shop these days that it's hard to tell your posts from ou Maaik's.
One really gets the feeling Rooi is frustrated IRL.
Are you like short and weak or something, Rooi?
It's like you have a son in-law that bosses you around. Get a punching bag or go and hit some balls at the range.
How is it possible that all you are interested in is people, more specifically fighting with people?
Tell me, ButtPlug, have you ever seen me fight with Saffex? Have you seen me fight with Blob? How about Stav . . . or KC . . . or Sharkbok . . . or becs? Have I been in any fights with Dense or DumbAss in the last few years?
No?
Well then, maybe I'm not the problem and you should rather take a look at yourself and modify your grovelling, fawning and attention-seeking behaviour. Just a thought. Run along now . . .
Do a count of how many posts, since your return, are you belittling, insulting, or generally having a problem with someone...versus posts that aren't of that nature.
I haven't counted but I'm gonna bet the ratio is worse than 10-1. I'm not telling you what to to do, just suggesting that you accept what you are...
...a frustrated little man.
The point is not that you fight with everybody….it’s that almost every post you make is a screaming, childish, boringly repetitive gotcha.
‘Also in the world of pussy footing reporters this guy tells the truth…we lost to France because Libbok’s kicking can’t be trusted’
Now the article was about Ireland. It even mentions the upcoming Tongan game…..it clearly was not about France. So just admit you knew I was referring to Ireland.
Ummmm . . . then why did you say France instead of Ireland, chump? Stupidity, forgetfulness, senility . . . or all three?
Okay, so how would stupidity induce one to pick a team that never featured in the article….explain.
Well then, maybe I'm not the problem and you should rather take a look at yourself and modify your grovelling, fawning and attention-seeking behaviour.
It goes along with his fat lip.
Hang on Moffie, let me get this straight . . . you want me to explain to you why you thought the French were the Irish?
Is that right?
LMAO!
Whaha you said you like her...now she's gonna follow you around.
Just like the smell of desperation won't start following you around, Dentsie.
Nobody smells it more than Rooi. The only reason he pretends you're okay is because he's almost fanatically jealous of Moz.
So where does that put you on the ladder?
He doesn't respect you and he doesn't like you. The hilarious part is that I think you know it too.
Hahaha
Wehe . . . I'm jealous of Moffie? Yeah right, I wish I was a pompous and self-important buffoon who can't even tell the difference between France and Ireland.
Pfffffffffffffffhahahahahahaha!
There are only a few things that cause the levels you're at bud...and extreme jealousy is the very obvious explanation.
Use some breath mints please ButtPlug.
No I’d like you to explain how mistakenly writing France had anything to do with intelligence….indulge me.
Well a stupid person wouldn't know the difference between France and Ireland but you're adamant it wasn't stupidity (despite a lot of evidence to the contrary).
Okay then so we're left with amnesia and senility. So which is it?
Seems a bit redundant, explain the difference between amnesia and senility.
Google is your friend Moffie,
Go ahead you obviously fully or ‘fooly’ (sic) understand the difference. Let’s hear from you!

STADE DE FRANCE — Handre Pollard was at the Stade de France on Saturday. Before the game, he stood on the centre spot and casually practised kicks into touch, regularly plunging them impressively deep into the 22 – with his left foot.
A few metres away, Manie Libbok tried to groove his goal-kicking, already under a spotlight with South Africa sporting the worst kicking percentage of any Rugby World Cup outfit so far this tournament.
One of them jogged off before kick-off, grabbed a coffee and took a seat in the stands. The other pulled on a Springboks jersey and tried to beat the world’s No 1 rugby team. Pollard watched as Libbok failed.
It is hard to imagine they can play the roles this way round again and the Springboks’ director of rugby Rassie Erasmus has already confirmed that Pollard “is playing” next weekend against Tonga, although whether starting or on the bench remains to be seen.

Read MoreBut Erasmus also insisted that Pollard, who is about to embark on his first week of full contact training for months, would have to prove he is fit enough to do more than just kick goals.
“Handre Pollard is not Superman,” Erasmus said on Sunday. “He can’t come back when four weeks ago he was totally not ready to play rugby. He hadn’t even run full pace four or five weeks ago.
“He’s only played 40 minutes of rugby. He doesn’t just come on to field and just do goal-kicking. He must tackle, he must pass, he must do kick-offs, he must sidestep, he must hand-off, he must clean out in the ruck…
“I’m sure he will also take some time to find his rhythm with his kicking under pressure in big Test matches, and the Tonga one will be a great test for him, as a yardstick to see where he is before we go into those, if we go in, when we are into those quarter-finals.
“Because Manie is certainly playing brilliant fly-half rugby at this stage. Obviously his goal-kicking is not matching that at this stage.”
The implication seems to be that if Pollard can prove he is fit, the No 10 jersey is his if he wants, and South Africa will have the final piece of the puzzle in a team capable of defending their title.
