Rassie what the fuck is your problem?

How the fuck do we get to the QF stage and still have fucking useless Mostert starting ahead of RG - unfuckingbelievable

It’s one thing easing RG back from injury but he has now proved he is fit

Why the fuck is Am starting ahead of Kriel - I hope they have decided Am is not fit enough and it’s not some loyalty bullshit being handed to Kriel. Loyalty does not win you games. Am not even on the bench

Why Reinach ahead of Faf - Reinach has a shit service with his stepping before delivery and we are going to miss the harassing qualities of Faf

Nyakane is better than Kock - Trevor and Ox work well together

Moodie should have been ahead of Arendse

I thought you said he is a top coach? 

He spend 3 years experimenting and fell into the exact same trap as so many other coaches. Sticking with certain players too long. 

I would even Argue if Faf and Reinach should start ahead of Hendrikse and Williams. 

Don't know why we haven't seen more of the team that beat the All Blacks so convincingly at Twickenham. 

The problem is, Rassie is a tinker not a thinker. His tricks worked at the World Cup. 

Ireland don't tinker but work on the shapes and roles players perform and knowing exactly what every other players role is in their position and how they link with one another. 

They have consistently selected their best team, the back ups are well prepared and slot in very easily. 

Strong defence and brainless attack. Relying more on individual brilliance and quick steppers.

Poor old corny King has no idea that The Boks played in the Rugby Championship. Then they had two warm up GAMES AGAINST NZ and Wales then they have just played 4 poop games. 

The NH sides ended their season. Took a break and have had fewer run up tests. 

So we have have had 10. If the same team had payed all 10 tests how fresh would we be for France. 

Am was not going to be ready for this game. If we get to semis he could get a game.

I have looked at a number of clips and all say Allende and Kriel were the obvious starters. All picked Mostert. 

Nienaber says there is not much difference between the players. The team in tbe semis would be different from the team to play France. 

Sean Fitzpatrick says it a great pity Ireland France Boks and NZ are not meeting in the semis. He reckons as I have said the sides winning these two quarters will be in the final. I agree that is the most likely scenario. 

Brendan Nel says Allende and Kriel have been in great form and we're obvious picks. Kriel marshalling the defence that will be crucial against Ireland. 

When you get out the little echo chamber of Ruckers you see that the anti Allende and Kriel narrative held by some here is hard to find. 

Rugby  noobs like Corny King must  realize they just might know more than the on the spot Bok coaches. 

France will start as favorites to to home advantage. However I am still tipping the Boks to win. Knock out rugby has tended to suit us. We also love the big matches in World Cups as our record shows. 

I join with ou Rooitwit in saying Go Boks. I say it now in case we ever meet Wales. That is when ou Rooitwit jumps ship! Anyhow at least Rooitwit has supported the Boks and not been hoping they lose like Deus, Mozzz and Corny King who have said so many negative things against the Boks and Rassie that a Bok win becomes a huge embarrassment to them. 

Any two of these 4 teams can win this week end. The two that win will make the final. That to me is a reasonable prediction. 

Beeno there is a huge difference between RG and useless Mostert both literally and productively

Mostert is the one player who cleans up after others. RG is better at hitting the line and attacking. His offloads are excellent. He is a great link. Powerful and athletic. Mostert is no slouch. They are different players. Given that we don't have 1 test quality loose forward for the game, we'll need Mostert. He likely shift to flank when Duane has had his obligatory one carry and two catches. 

King Rassie is a great coach just not a perfect one evidenced by this fucking pathetic Mostert call How the fuck can anyone select Mostert over RG it’s insulting

Kriel ahead of Am Mostert ahead of RG Arendse ahead of Moodie Reinach ahead of Faf Vermeulen ahead of Wiese (more marginal)

These calls are going to cost us, they devalue the side that should have been. The side that would have looked better on paper than the French one

Now it does not. Rassie you domdoos

Erasputin is the worst coach. Even Snor was better technically, though both relied on the work of others. Erasmus is as dumb as the chumps who worship him.

Well this team came close to beating IRE so at least pollard and Faf is on the bench. Reinach is Fast and his Passing skills is very good..Manie will have his kicking boots on and we will win. How do we know if RG can play 80 min yet? Go Bokke !!

‘ Brendan Nel says Allende and Kriel have been in great form and we're obvious picks. Kriel marshalling the defence that will be crucial against Ireland. ’

HasBeen we are playing France you moron.

All 4 teams must be facing major pressure.

Going out in the semis, is not so bad when looking back in history, but a quarter final is a disaster for any of the top 4 teams.

Crap Reinach’s passing is shit it’s the worst of the 4 scrumhalves we have in the squad

He takes a step or two before passing it’s the reason Northampton Saints benched him

He is great in general play with his speed but he fails in his primary role in terms of his service

I suppose M’s point has merit……you know where you are with the Irish team. And that team played Ireland close. So that’s your base selection and you add value with a few changes and a better bench. The Irish team with Pollard on the bench is already a massive improvement. And in a knockout game I prefer Vermeulen.

Go Harrassmiss … go the Boks!

Reinach is more of a Hougaard style of scrumhalf 

"Reinach is more of a Hougaard style of scrumhalf "

Both Reinach and Houugaard could play on the wing at test level, or close enough.
So they are very good rugby players, not just in one position. 

Some of their basic scrumhalf skills are not as good as more traditional scrum-halves.
Although Hougaard was worse on slow pitches and competitive breakdowns. Reinach is not as fast as some scrum-halves, but at least he does not trip over his own feet at the ruck- like Hougaard.

He does kick less than Faff, which I like. Sometimes it is best just to pass to the flyhalf who has more some space and time. 

Reinach is not making basic mistakes so he is consistent, but his pass could be a bit better. 

Fluff has the worst skills of all our 9s. He cannot pass or kick. He also doesn't look fit. This was a very easy choice. I suppose Twizzle Dee and Dizzle Dum had to get something right. Thankfully this was one of them.
