Libbok wouldn't come near my team. His time is up. He had 3 chances for the boks. 2/3 were poor, one cost us the game.
I like your pack, Bulls front row monsters.
I would go with
9 Hendrikse
10 Hendrikse
11 Moodie
12 Esterhuizen
13 Am
14 Kolbe
15 Fassie
Williams, Pollard Le Roux
Nah I’m a big fan of Libbok he stays and I want to see youngsters at centre so definitely Hendrikse and Moodie
Please KC - if you want to kill backline play by al means put Esterhuizen in the team. I think he cooked his goose in the Scottish test when in ne case Brown lost his cool totally - shown on TV - whe Esterhuizen made one of his normal bugger-ups/
Hwevr, I agree with you about moving Hendrikse to 10 and maybe play Am at 13/ I would have Du Toit/ Polard and De Allende om te bench.
I will aly a bet Le Roux would play in the Wale est at 15As Rassie said he wants Wllie to get a 100 tst caps and he is now on 97/
.
I would also go with Jordan at Flyhalf….those straight forwards kicks that Libbok missed was kicks that a high school Flyhalf would make…
Honestly how long should a person still except mediocrity?? Just because he kicked one or two cross kicks…..not to even talk about his defence….pathetic.
also something a high school kid can do….nothing special. I would also go for Esterhuisen at 12.
Rest is good.
Jordan is not a future Bok prospect at 12 so what on earth is the point of selecting him there?
I reckon we could pick ou Maaik at flyhalf and still beat this Welsh side.
Jordan Hendrikse played most of his games for the Lions at 12 so why the fuck would he not be considered as a future option at 12 old wise Pakie?
Post de Allende and Esterhuizen at 12 will be Willemse, Hooker, David Kriel and Jordan Hendrikse
For the record Hendrikse looked very good for the Lions at 12
Well you've seen more of him than me, Dave. Looks like a proper journeyman from my end.
A Journeyman you say, so he is solid but not outstanding? I think Jordan is for sure better than just solid ….
Jordan is very much a utility player - equally at home at 10, 12 and 15
I like that he has bulked up considerably as well which makes him a genuine candidate at 12
It would be good to see Hanekom starting….you are having us on about Libbok I hope.
Nope Moz I like Libbok - he is a class act
Easily our 3rd best 10 behind Pollard and Sacha
Dave I ould put Wolhuter and 5 orther players ahead of Libbok as flyhal after Saaha and Pollard . I have sen nothing from Libbok on test level tha made him a choice a flyhalf. Against Scotland he amde 2 buger-ups in the firsst four inute and was nothing better in he rest of he match.
I think Erasmus and Brown would rather play Am at inside enter than Estrhuizen - who I tink is no rated by Brown - judging of his losing his temper and spoke to the chap making notes on the computer after a clear bugger-up by Esterhuizen.
I think Esterhuizen will ot play for the Springboks after 19 tests ith no tries and no trya ssists to his credit.
Here’s a corrected and rewritten version of your text:
Dave, I would put Wolhuter and five other players ahead of Libbok as flyhalf after Jantjies and Pollard. I have seen nothing from Libbok at test level that makes him a viable choice as flyhalf.
Against Scotland, he made two significant errors in the first four minutes and didn’t perform much better for the rest of the match.
I think Erasmus and Brown would prefer to play Am at inside center rather than Esterhuizen, who I believe is not highly rated by Brown. This seemed evident when Brown lost his temper and spoke to the person making notes on the computer after a clear mistake by Esterhuizen.
I don’t think Esterhuizen will continue playing for the Springboks, given he has played 19 tests with no tries or try assists to his credit.
Let me know if you’d like further adjustments! Compliments Chat GPT!
Uncle Mike please use Chat GPT or make a effort just to check again what you post…
I know it’s not easy getting old and not picking on you, it’s just frustrating when we can’t read your post, without guessing what you said.
I for one would like to read your post and understand:)
How is match and performnce assessments done on CHAT GPT. It is done accorcrding to what is supplied by individuals. If it was done in accordance with the comprehensive match performance details on the modern system of evaluation following all the activities of evey indivusal player on the field of play during their whole period of play during matches - used by coaches and management officials throughout the world - it would be a reason to be acceptable and authoritive and would be something always to take count of, Until then it is amateurish BS in a new format.
.
Dave, glad to see I'm not the only one here that recognizes Libbok's talent.
He is a proper 10. Something we rarely see in SA. I just hope his kicking for poles comes right.
Given how much he does, he is bound to make mistakes... but i dont mind that.
We all admire Carlos Spencer and flagged him as a magician... but he also got a lot wrong.
It goes with the territory of being a playmaker.
Anyway.
I have a feeling we'll see the Hendrikse brothers at 9 and 10 this weekend. If so, it would be such a proud moment for their parents.
Oh ffs uncle Mike it’s got nothing to do with rugby assessment , but the jiberish shitoric you put on site that we can’t understand?!
Thanks for nothing! Its your bloody post that has been corrected of spelling and grammar mistakes that I posted again !!
I am trying to help but you want to be a asshole,so Kyk Noord en fok voort !!
I am done trying to help check your spelling before you post!!
And by the way Uncle Mike why is your last post without any mistakes??!!
Honestly stop trying to get extra attention it’s ridiculous…..
I think you doing it deliberately to post this jiberish, so people feel sorry for you !
After that perfect written post, there is no more excuses to post that nonsense that you do.
Have the common decency and respect to post like you have proven you can!
I would certainly not start our key players. They have got through a long season injury free….play them off the bench if needed. These guys are in their thirties and fine tuning rather than rehabilitating in the off season could help them reach WC2027.
By the way….why not start Williams again. He scored the best scrumhalf try I have ever seen, whereas at least to me, the Hendrikses look bog ordinary.
I’m starting Hendrikse as Williams is our best 9
Hendrikse was very very good against the Argies but shit against Scotland so he needs to redeem himself
Well I’d start all our young best guys, they need test experience and put key older players on the bench…..Pollard, Eben and Dud Toit. Esterhuizen is an older guy but he needs test match time…what happens if Dud Allende gets injured. Esterhuizen is our only test capable replacement.
Well my contributions are clear - Libbok is not going to last long as potential Springbok flyhalf, With Sacha being on the mend his chances to play for the Springboks is zero-minus, with ooddles of different deficiencies. Esterhuizen was given 19 chances to play for he Springboks and never produced quality performances - he is dumb muscle as a backlie player with tttal inability to function on international level. His reading of games on test level is way below par. In sos6 he played against Georgia and Tonga and evena gainst the two minions h did not score a try or assist with the coring of a try.
At this stage Esterhuizen is way behind he following players in the o 12 position:-
De Allende
Willemse
Kriel
Hooker
Scholtz
I heard there is an under 20 player - forgot his anme - that is a star in the making atcenter as well,
After Esterhuizen near to zero peformnce against Sctoland - the chances of Am playing at 12 will probably the 12.
As scrummies there is no comparison between Williams and Jordan.......I'll say it again, with Williams the opposition is on notice..... don't blink.
lol M
...you low-born slut!
How dare you have GPT correct Mike's post.
The best is, he doesn't even read it.
I can't even ??????
Mike who the fuck is Scholtz?
Dries Scholtz
Big Dries Scholtz and Drickus Hattingh
I remember you were a big Dries fan. Good player.
He was a big unit
I saw on FB someone posted a photo of PSDT boarding a flight to CT so he will definitely not be playing against Wales
Na, he’s just going for a quick back rub.
He’ll be back in a day.

Rassie given his squad has missed the opportunity to play a nice youthful side against Wales so the best he can do is:
15. Fassi
14. Kolbe
13. Moodie
12. Jordan Hendrikse
11. Arendse
10. Libbok
9. Jayden Hendrikse
1. Steenkamp
2. Grobelaar
3. Wilco
4. Kleyn
5. RG
6. Kwagga
7. Elrigh Louw
8. Hanekom
16. Marx 17. Ox 18. Thomas 19. Eben 20. Wiese 21. Williams 22. Pollard 23. Esterhuizen
I’m assuming Ox is out given his limp off the field, if not him on the bench with Thomas the bench 3
