LoL... We knew it was going to move there, and it's only for the WC, 'so they say'. We will always be the BOKKE!

At least i will have something to blame when they dont make the Quarter's!

the should make the quarters..

might have to start shouting 'go flowers' or smething like that tho :silly:

why cant people just leave well enough alone???

Samoa and Viji in their back-yard? And with the washed out performances from our boks this S15? Mmmmmmm not all that sure. England will whip their sorry asses and then all it takes is for a fired-up islander team to do the same.

no faith

let the other teams peak before the wc

no way can we lose to a bunch of islanders

wahahah touche!

Bottom line is, they got to pick a VERY different team than what played in Trinations last year... Sorry to say but 8/9/10 from Bulls not performing, neither is Matfield and others... PVD better chose wisely or we in trouble... I don't see the point of trying to fight for Frans Steyn, he is playing a very different style of rugby than what current top SA sides are playing...

Oh well.. we will see

Thing is there arent many cylinders firing in other provinces either. PDV has surfed Jakes wave creating no new, exciting players. Game over.

jack you right... noone is playing mind blowing rugby, look at the stormers, they should have lost to the Bulls if the Bulls played half as well has they have over the previous years, the Lions should have beaten them the first game had it not been for some petty mistakes, and when they played a good side like the reds they got eaten, they have only in 1 game managed to score 4 tries... The rest of the time they win by Grants kicks..

As for the Sharks, they have been managing to get tries, but not playing like the team that won the CC, nothing exctiting happening, no fast offloads, just the old crash forward, try stay onto the ball but no fast forward motion keep the other teams on their back foot. In all honestly, not a great combo with the centres in the team.

As for the cheetahs, well they pretty much suck, they have some big bois in the team, but just can't play rugby, no BMT and its upsettings, whats worse is the best fetcher in the country isn't even chosen for the team, Brusow?

As for the Lions, they just a disgrace, they let them self down, they have gotten a few class players that played very well in other teams, EG: they have taken a few sharks players and still doing nothing great... I still can't believe Janties got to be capped for the boks... pathetic...

And if January plays for the boks this year we going down hill...

You know the more and more i think about the Bulls, the more and more i'm blaming Ludeke, he did nothing for the Lions, he was given a team and a game plan, now that the game plan that was handed over isn't working he can't invent anything else... The truth is kicking away possession when you under pressure isn't going to help anyone, ye it works great when the other team is behind and they start cracking by it, but you can't just kick away every time you get the ball, and 9/10 in the Bulls do this religiously, this must be a 'game plan tactic' however its not working, because your forwards and backline spend the next couple minutes trying to win the ball back, you can't have this kick and hope that your wings are going to get the kick, the other team is just going to jump in the air ( you can't get tackled ) catch the ball, either mark or have his forwards come protect him and get the ball to the backline...

So many under the right Bok management which can't be the case seeing PVD is the coach, they could be used to play a top class game (the bulls players that is). This about Spies and Bismark together, those are some big bois... Spies has been read like a book, everytime he gets the balls he has 2 guys holding onto him, but use that to your advantage knowing that somewhere there must be an overlap.

Anyway thats my rugby rage for the day!

Spies is useless. So what if it takes 3 guys to bring him down, the pace of the Bok gameplan cant exploit this, should rather bring in workhorses like Alberts or Vermeulen. Guys who'll have a guaranteed impact. If the majority of the bok squad comprises bulls players we will not win the tri-nations,let alone the world cup. Hopefully PDV will pick on merit and not on reputation, which means half the bok squad should be Stormers players

Frans Ludecrous?!?!? Useless! Success came with Jake White. All the provincial teams benefited. Bulls the most because of players in key positions. Thats why the Bulls (Heyneke Meyer)also had a great run in S14 and Curry Cup.
