Where they asked Gio Aplon to choose between Jean de Villiers and de Allende and Aplon was very apologetic to Jean saying he was a great captain but that de Allende was the best player he has ever played with - says he can do it all

How do we go from that to all the clowns on here not rating him - I just don’t get it

Sep 05, 2024, 20:34

Hate is never logical...Mostert hoes...hoes...;)

Sep 05, 2024, 20:34

Dave you are clueless..  ,of course he is going to pick his team mate. Get with it man.

Sep 05, 2024, 20:40

Wasn't Jean also his team mate....even more so?

Sep 05, 2024, 20:50

Yep Draad Aplon played more with Jean than he did DA so try again Moz

Sep 05, 2024, 21:06

Okay….Aplon looked better when Dud was on the park. Actually Aplon  was a terrific player. Dave I recall punting Aplon when you were punting Louis Ludick.

Dave stop telling us what other people think of him and point us to specific things he does in a game that makes him so great. Let's start with this Saturday. Watch the game and then come tell us specifically what he did well, where he influenced the game instead of just coming up with the same old vague "he had a solid game" platitude that his four fans on this board always dish up.

Pakie what do de Allende, Esterhuizen, Kerevi, Aki, Tuilagi, Lawrence, Danty, Tuipolotu have in common?

You work that out and I’ll carry on teaching you the reality of modern test 12’s and their primary role

Something you have clearly yet to grasp

But answer me this, why the fuck would Aplon say de Allende is the best player he has ever played with huh?

Sep 06, 2024, 00:43

When last did Aplon play with him? 2014?

Sep 06, 2024, 01:08

I just watched a video by the Creatine Twins who said that Jean was the better player. 

Sep 06, 2024, 06:56

"When last did Aplon play with him? 2014?"

Ouch .....

Sep 06, 2024, 07:33

When anybody saiy that De Allende was and is a better player at 12 - the site experts - with prejudice being the norm - thinks otherwise.    After the 2014 test against Wales in 2014  during which De Villiers were injured - he played in two tests in 2015 -  namely the home tests against Argentina and Japan in 2015 and both wer lost by the Springbks.   Aplon was involved in the Sprimgbk team in tha period - whn De V illiers was in serious decline and that accordingly was dealt with by Aplon.

Who cares when Aplon played with DA he played with both DA and Jean and concluded that DA was not only better but also the best player he has ever played with

Schalk Brits in an interview said DA was the most talented player he had ever played with but that he plays to a plan

Sep 06, 2024, 18:35

Three Dud Allende WCs

2015 He takes us out of the WC by allowing his opponent Nonu to make a diagonal run of 30 metres inside our 22 and offloads to Barrett to win the game and take us out of the WC.

2019 One  of the few Boks who did nothing of note. But he missed a tackle inside the Pom in goal area, allowing a break out from a Boks try scoring position.

2023 Once again….nothing. Except he provides an honor guard to Mo’unga  who makes a 4o meter break and hands off for a try that is reversed.

A long history of nothing. Not a secure tackler in space, no read of the game, beats tackles but hardly ever makes a break, desperately low on tries and try assists. 

To compare this mediocre player with Jean is  a joke.


Sep 06, 2024, 20:19

Bullshit DA is a class act and in my opion better than Jean and opinion shared by a player that played with both Jean and DA

Kind of makes a mockery of your take on DA don’t you think

Who should we believe you or the guy that played many games of rugby with both players

Embarrassing as always Moz and you don’t even realise that

Sep 06, 2024, 23:30

We should believe what happened.

Sep 07, 2024, 07:35

Exactly and what happened is that DA is better than Jean backed by a player who played with both

There is no better endorsement than a teammate, especially an attacking player like Aplon

Sep 07, 2024, 07:39

What about the multitude of endorsements that the mighty Mostert receives ?

Sep 07, 2024, 15:39

Endorsements only work for Dave favorites

Sep 07, 2024, 20:54

I’ve never heard a player or coach say anything about Mostert ever

Sep 07, 2024, 21:43

Mostert is a terrific player and I like the looks of Nortje as his replacement. He looks confident and assertive.

Sep 07, 2024, 22:51

Mostert is shit and Nortje is another Mostert - a physical liability but he is a better player than Mostert

Sep 07, 2024, 23:17

I stll prefer Schickerling as a better player than Mostert.   .   

Sep 08, 2024, 06:02

"Mostert is shit and Nortje is another Mostert - a physical liability but he is a better player than Mostert"

:D...my son watched the match with my lasr night..."Pappa, hoekom is daai ou so maer?" referring to Nortje...

Nortje isn't that bad though....and Mostert did well for the Bokke over the years.

Sep 08, 2024, 07:20

Mostert should never have played for the Boks he is simply not physical enough and is hardly a gifted rugby player to offset that lack of physicality

Nortje is in the same boat only he is a better rugby player than Mostert but should be nowhere near the Bok side

It’s a complete fuck that RG is crocked again failing which the 5 jersey should have been given to the impressive Ruben v Heerden

I rate Rassie highly but he has a blind spot when it comes to locks

Mostert, Orie, Nico Janse v Rensburg and now Nortje - that’s 4 poor strikes at lock selections.

Same applies to not starting RG ahead of useless Mostert in the WC and against Ireland

Shocking call
