The Rugby Thread - Part Deux

Hmm... So going by the first half and keeping in mind short-term injuries and Bulls. Here's a team to face England:

1. Ox
2. Marx/Venter
3. du Toit
4. Eben
5. Nortje
6. Siya
7. PSDT
8. Cameron
9. Williams
10. SFM
11. KLA
12. Esterhuysen
13. Jessie
14. Cheslin
15. Fassi
16. Grobbelaar (or Venter if Marx is fit)
17. Steenekamp
18. Wilco
19. Franco
20. Wiese
21. Papier
22. Horn
23. Willemse/Edwill

Why would Hanekom start over Wiese? Fassi over Willemse? Not even close. Unless Marx is injured that’s also not a debate.

Fassi is better at 15 than Willemse. Cameron is better than Wiese (although clearly less experienced).

I had a question mark around Marx's fitness but agree if he's fit then it's a no brainer.

Also, after the second half I'd pick faf to start at 9 with GW on the bench.

In what world is Fassi better? Let me guess you’re a Sharks fan? I had this discussion last year with a one eyed sharky on here and ended up looking silly. Willemse was one of our best players last year. He 100% plays against England not even a question.

Hey look you have an opinion. And I have an opinion. And they differ. You're entitled to yours. I'm entitled to mine.

Willemse is best as a 12, but he's behind DDA and Esterhuizen.

And no, I'm not a sharks supporter.

Pricing.

Up until Thursday the cheapest tickets available were R1050 and tickets weren't selling. It was only yesterday that they opened up the upper levels for R650 - from what I could see those seats those must have come close to selling out.

R1050 to see the world champions play live is not completely off the mark. If you want to blame anyone, blame the anc for making everyone poorer and not able to afford tickets

It is ridiculous for a SA game. There's a lot of games this season. And it isn't R1000 only, nobody buys just 1 ticket. There's no way I'm spending R 5000 on a rugby game which is like a 2 hour event. That's silly.

And my finances is certainly above average. They have to work within the SA market.

Then ad bad marketing, Exclusively having rugby on dstv.

Empty seats means it was too expensive.
