Don't think poor Rassie will make it either, the change in the man's appearance just between 2019 and now is not good. That kind of stress on top of an autoimmune disease is probably not a double battle you want to fight for too long.
The year of the hype….so far we were tied by Ireland and barely beat a much below par AB team
at home. Next year will be the year of reality.
Moz give it a fucking rest you sound like a sore loser
Try enjoy the fact that Rassie is the best coach we have ever had and his current record proves it
It blows any other coaches record out the window - look no further than back to back WC’s
Stop fucking embarrassing yourself
Let me guess Naas does not know what he is talking about along with Fitzpatrick, Horan, Kirwan, Marshall etc etc etc
Eggyolk I’m just keeping it real so the disappointment won’t be too severe as the whole thing implodes with our
geriatric team. These are just carnival barkers trying to curry favor with the Bok camp.
Yeah it’s going to really implode with the likes of Fassi, Gelant, Jordan Hendrikse, Arendse, Moodie, Green, Tambwe, Jacobs, Davids, Julius, Hooker,David Kriel, Willemse, Sacha, Libbok, Hendrikse, Nohamba, vd Bergh, Papier, Ox, Steenkamp, Wessels,Mchunu, Marx, AH Venter, Grobelaar, Dweba, Thomas, Wilco, Sadie, Jacobs, RG, Nortje, Jenkins, Ruben v Heerden, Moerat, JF v Heerden, Rahl, Vermaak, Kwagga, v Staaden, Buthelezi, Ruan Venter, Dixon, Hanekom, Roos, Elrigh Louw, Wiese brothers, Tsituka brothers, du Preez twins, Gumede, Ludwig etc etc to take us forward
Dream on Moz - the only irreplaceable is Eben - the majority above have already been capped and continue to win us games
You are so bloody misguided and completely out of touch
Rsssie is capping new youngsters left right and centre
There is a lot of good names there….but very few are being capped or at least just tried out for a game run.
It is mostly the Older WC Core that is being used in the important games.
There should be more young guns in the starting teams. Is there any new caps in Argentina at the Moment?
That is bullshit no coach on the planet is going to say fuck you to his WC winning squad and make wholesale changes - it’s a gradual process for crying out loud
In the first season post the WC he has already given the following non WC players game time:
Fassi , Horn, Edwil vd Merwe, Jordan Hendrikse, Sacha, Morne vd Bergh, Wessels, Steenkamp, Mchunu, AH Venter, Grobelaar, Thomas, Moerat, Nortje, BJ Dixon, Buthelezi, Ruan Venter, Elrigh Louw and Roos
That’s 19 players in 8 tests - fuck me is that not good enough for you
Geez ignorance is bliss they say
No it’s not because they not regular starters….
There is not any new player besides SFM, that has had regular starts or that has been trusted to do the job besides the oldies.
In that aspect the AB with more new guys starting and coming close to beating us, are further ahead in there rebuild process.
Fuck you are stupid - so in your ignorant book, Rassie should have ditched his WC players and lost the Irish series and the RC
As for the AB’s again fucking ignorant bullshit - the new players selected were forced selections as they lost a good handful of their experienced players to overseas clubs
Every single one of the NZ WC squad players that are not overseas based have been selected by Razor
Get your fucking facts straight and also wake up to reality
So as the dumbfuck Bok coach, you would have ditched loads of our WC squad in the first season post the WC in the name of rebuilding
19 non WC players in 8 tests is not good enough for you
Fuck off - this is beyond stupidity but I expected nothing less
For example Roos has been tried and was over powered by the Goose wing….the old guys are tested in battle and the team is an entity. You have always produced these long lists….maybe this list is better, time will tell. But there is a massive transition that awaits…if every player age 33 doesn’t make the WC, we lose:
Malherbe, Bongi, Mostert, Eben, Dud Toit, Kolisi, Faf, Pollard, Dud Allende, Kriel, Kolbe, Am, Willie, Kwagga, Marx and Koch.
And Ox, Snyman, Williams, Arendse and Wiese will all be 31 or 32.
Compare that to your list of wannabes. Every one of these players will either be gone or not as good as they are today. The turnover is unprecedented…buckle up Yolk.
No one said that all the WC players should be replaced, but more of the newer players should have been established by now and regular starters….Fact.
But really who the fuck cares what you think as it’s mostly just your opinion that counts and no one else’s .
You and Uncle Fart should have the site to yourself :)
Established by now after 8 tests and which of our players would you have dumped for these younger players huh
Give us your list so we can have a good laugh
Dud Allende would be a good start.
And Jessica….Malherbe could have been used more off the bench with Wilco or Sadie starting…Vincent Koch could have been replaced to..Ruben von Heerden, Ruan Vermaak etc. but now The useless Moerat is there and that van Rensburg guy with no evidence of his form??That’s just a few. But would be a better start.
Moz there is no point debating rugby with a liar
So the Portuguese wing overpowered Roos did he - you are a fucking joke
So the whatever wing overpowered Mostert…..you started this theme. Overpowered, dropped the ball, was stripped…..whatever….the Goose team scored because Roos
couldn’t protect the ball. Case closed.
If lack of ball protection is an issue - Mostert should have been dropped 5
0 tests ago.
Sure…very stupid of Rasmus.
You are lying Moz, the Portuguese wing did nothing of the sort and they did not score from that, that is another lie
The ball was kicked ahead and had to be gathered before any try could be scored.
Ah yeah let’s drop the best tighthead in the game to the bench
Moerat is anything but shit and he is the same age as Ruben v Heerden. Then he has gone with Nortje at 5 who is 26 so bang goes your younger locks theory
Took another look….totally stripped by the tiny little Portuguese wing. He does a pick and go….bouncing right up into the face of the Portuguese 8 who can’t make the high tackle, but gets him low around the legs.
He stumbles forward into the wee, tiny, little wing. Roos fends him with an elbow to the neck. The wing stands his ground and Roos falls to the right. But the Goose is making contact directly below the ball and is resisting Roos’ move forwards, clearly obvious by how he plants his left leg
In the next freeze frame the ball is already out of Roos’ possession…ripped and going backwards towards the Boks line. Dropping the ball it doesn’t go in that direction. Force applied consistent with the Goose’s body position makes that happen.
Ripped by a tiny, little Goose….the verdict.
Case closed, and after that game he was dropped. He now finds himself in the circle of your other world beaters, the Deysel twins. You sure know how to pick ‘em Dave.
Ag man give us another list please….hahaha.
Bullshit you are lying he was not stripped of the ball at all not even close - that’s a blatant lie
Bullshit being dropped, Rassie is on record saying he is very much part of the picture just like Ben Jason Dixon and Elrigh Louw are - have they been dropped? No they have not so stop speaking shit
Roos is an amazing talent only a complete rugby ignoramus would think differently. The same kind of rugby ignorance that rates Mostert on the one hand and not PSDT
Case closed my arse only case that is closed is your poor grasp of rugby
Hanekom looks a far better prospect than Roos.
"Hanekom looks a far better prospect than Roos."
What I like about Rassie is that he has expanded SA's coaching base. We were stuck in provincialism for a long time and often our coaches were just plucked out of a province and then told to coach. There weren't any clear structures and only the best coaches could put something decent together. P Divvy struggled when he realised he had to build things from the ground up. So did Coetzee. Markgraaff and De Straueli were completely out of there depths.
I do think there is a provincial elements still with the boks and most of Rassie boks were formers stormers or WP players. Coaches tend to do that, stick with players they know.
I like the fact that Duane has been roped into coaching. I would like to see more of that. NZ did extremely well with Henry, etc, they just picked their coaches from within every 4 years and helped with consistency and game plan. I think Hansen was there last decent coach. But we know saw that even with the best Super Rugby coach, Razor is finding life really hard.
Aus and the rest of the world has captured all of their key south see islanders that NZ depended on so heavily. These guys might not make the test team that often, but they built the base for their teams which made them really competitive. Now there is a South Sea islander in almost every major team. Australia with the most, Ireland has got one, Scotland, Wales, England had 2 or 3 and even France had about 4 in their match day team. Not to mention the amount playing in France.
NZ rugby is decline and we saw what is happening in Australia. All the players are going to league because they get paid more. Rugby Union don't even show on the map for TV viewings in Australia anymore.
That said, I like what Rassie has done, I hope he continues getting the support. Even he doesn't coach after the next World Cup, I would still like to see him at the helm
Razor doesn’t have the players….Rasmus does. Give Razor Eben and NZ wins
both tests.
Hanekom a deserved MOM…..83 metres, 6 tackles beaten…..15 tackles/o missed. Several turnovers……brilliant
Stick with moz for the early scoop….funny seeing (sic)finally realizing Hanekom is a special player.
Disagree that Hanekom is a far better prospect than Roos - absolute nonsense
Both are great - I have seen more impressive stuff from Roos than Hanekom in the time they have both been around
Roos ahead of Hanekom for me
Moz stop speaking shit - one player does not make a team and that certainly applies to Eben
Absolute joke that Eben playing for the AB’s would have seen them win
Utter horse shit as per usual
Eggyolk
stop thinking like a Noob. Giving Eben to NZ is not one player, it’s two players. We are weakened and they are strengthened massively. Given how close the games are Eben in black changes everything. It’s not the coach it’s the players. Give Razor the Boks and he wins by 20 points.
Mozart
De Allende is regarded by experts as the best 12 in the world this year and you want him replaced. Either rugby experts are idiots or you are one hell of a stupid one. Who would you replace him with anyway?
What was Razor record anywya - he lost mmany more mtche than he won. How did the Springbks get where tey are hen tey hav a poor coach you claim Erasmus is. What you make of yourself seems to be total loss of undestanding of Rugby anyway.
The main remarks made by New Zealand exprts regard Razor as a coach trying to rebuild the AB team - - but heya re he ones who call the SA resources as scary. And by the if my Auntoie had balls she would have been my uncle - that is equivalnt to your debate level at present.
Fuck Moz you are getting more fucking stupid by the day
You keep making my point and thinking you
are making an opposing point….but nobody ever said you are clever, Clever.
