Hey, the Lions might have another Bok! Yay!

Krusty is back. WTF???? We have more than enough cover at 15, pick Sithole to cover 13. Even Hoskins would have been happy.

Why oh why is Jannie and Bismarck starting. They could have been benched for this one.

With that being said, it still is a very good team on paper.
 
Lwazi has performed pretty well at fullback so why Krusty had to be there, who knows ....... Could have rested a few guys too, nothing game this.
 
For some odd reason I've had the flower of scotland tune stuck in my head for the last two days and have been whistling it, maybe it's a sign :D

O flower of Scotland
When will we see your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

The hills are bare now
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

Those days are passed now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again
 
Aye laddie, tis a sign.

But I'm interested to see how Scotland go on Saturday after 3 away wins on the trot. I think we might keep it close up to half time then the Boks should pull away. But hey, no one expects anything so maybe a snatch and grab 9-6 win might just be on the cards :whistle:

^^ This.

If I was Jake White I would have a serious f'kin bone to pick with HM. The Du Plessis brothers need to be rested ahead of the remaining SR games.

Kirchner?! For REAL? For f**ks sake HM! :mad: :mad:
 
Irony is that Jake had the same issues when he was Bok coach.
For me, rest them in view of Rugby Champs.
 
What are the predictions for Saturdays game?

The kitty at my local has become pretty big and it's about time someone took it home :D

Why would the National coach rest players for a provincial team? :wtf:

If I was HM I would be pissed off at White seeing as he should have rested both Jannie and Bissie, yet he did not.

Boks should take it by 14+. I picked 18 on Superrbru... so the boks will win by 29 or 3:p
 
Really hope Pollard is not stymied by HM and FdP ........ he needs to play like he has been and not be cast into a Morne mould.
 
not from bwana
