Eish, poor Spies.

Lovely to see Kolisi getting a contract. He bloody-well deserves it...

I dont rate Kolisi at all We (south-africa) have alot better to offer

We do? Who?

As I think he is an amazing player. For me the only player who is similar to Kolisi is Jaco Kriel from the Lions.

Alots do not play rugby.

Nor do the imaginary better players you're referring to...

Who would that be, that is not in the bok group at the moment?

Dont think I have to defend my opinion cause that is what is MY opinion and by all means you may differ but thinking of better ball-fetchers and that is the role Kolosi must fill, Heinrich Brussow or Francios Louw comes to mind. At the current moment we have great ball runner but no fetchers.

Louw is already in the team?

And Kolisi has physicality which Brussow lacked, even though I'm a fan of him.

 

[KOPITE]

Kolisi is one of our best loose forwards in the country. Don't know what you have against the oke

Brussow was branded by NZ and AUS as a South African thug the samething they called Bakkies so physicality is not a problem

Louw did not receive a contract...

I dont have anything against him he is probably a very nice oak (dont know him personaly) I just dont rate him, I believe we have better loose forwards in my opinion

Seems Kolisi's contract is an extension of an older contract as he's not part of the new 7 contracted players list.

Still don't see the issue with it. Brussow hasn't come back the same player since his injury and Louw has been good. He'll probably make it on to the 2015 contract list. Numerous players are only signing contracts in 2015...

Don't recall that happening, at all. And being a thug doesn't mean you're a useful physical presence on the field.

Louw did not receive a contract...

And? You can still play Springbok without a contract, and I'd be surprised if he doesn't get one of the those left. He's been a standout player.

Touche (don't know how to make kappie on e )

And I think it may be that he is based overseas and that is the reason he did not get a contract.

Kolisi is a basher and not a fetcher. I can't remember Schalk's heydays, but wasn't he the same sort of player. And Kolisi has proven he can the same job Schalk can

And my point being is we are talking about contracts, you guys dont like Spies should his fans now try to convince you that he needs to be in the Bok squad? Am I not allowed to voice my opinion? I dont care if you dont like it, it is still my opinion you wont change my mind. If Kolisi was that good you dont need to defend him?

HM never gave Brussow a chance, dont get me wrong I dont like Brussow's why of playing it is similiar to Richie Mccaw, he plays the ball illegally and gets away with it. That being said I still feel Brussow is the beter option in the nr 6 jersey for the Boks.

Lets agree to disagree.

Does anyone know if the Stormers are playing a warm up game 8 Feb @ Newlands?

They use the first 5 rounds of Super 15 as their warm up games...

Everyone is entitled to there own opinion, but I think the guys/gals are just trying show you why there opinions differ to yours.

I speak under correction, but don't think the Stormers have any warm up games at home.

I have no problem with that everyone is entitled to there own opinion and I respect that, just dont force yours on to me.
