Dont worry Pitbull he is a soccer fan and trying to impress here as there is nothing going on in the Bafana camp so he is bored and looking for an outlet for his soccer frustrations. He is worse than player 23 as he is a blind player 23 and thus got lost in the wrong sports thread. LOL:D

Ignore is the correct advice received

I am with You on supporting the Boks, I just hope this weekend we will not see a repeat performance. The stance is here from some "Ah well we have done good so what if we loose a few or even the tri-Nations?

Whats your take on our sudden scrum woes, how are PDv going to fix it against the AB's.

I personally would put Smith back on Hooker and put 2 specialist Props for this match. Beast+Gurthro or Jannie du Plessis?

If Mornè can smoke the Pipe against Dan Carter this weekend. Then I forsee big things for him to come. Dan Carter is the best no10 in the world, and I do honestly hope we have the backline to clamp him down. I hope Jacobs is on a plane home already because we can't afford him on the field on Saturday.

Playing Francois at fullback is a brilliant call by PdV. Carter is going to kick the ball side to side to get the front foot going. Punting it back with interrest will work wonders.

Then they should keep the ball in hand and close to the forwards, play them dead from the front.

This is what I would have done. Schalk/Brusso replacement at 1/2 time. Brusso to get under the skins of the All blacks first 40 minutes forcing turnovers. This will have them addopt their play style and then we hit them with a Schalk force come second half.

Back to Plan A, kicking game for this one. Nothing boring about it, conditions wont be great for running rugby and we dont need to show off to anyone. Steyn better be awake tomorrow (Morne that is)

I'd fix it by firing that chump Gary Gold,he doesn't know his a55 from his elbow.

2 different refs on 2 consecutive Saturdays blow the Boks scrum to pieces and now,all of a sudden it's our perceived weakness...

I think that's probably all the motivation Bakkies and co needed. Watch tomorrow!!! I suspect the AB scrum will be going backwards for the 1st time in some time...


AB's got a flyhalf at inside center,an inside center at outside center so lets see how that pans out for them...

Hopefully Brians hamstring will hold out for the full 80 if he is required for the full 80.I suspect we will see him limping off long before the 80 is up... (taking a hamstring strain into this game)...

Wet conditions would favour the Boks in that the AB's will battle to score bonus point 4 tries required to win this tri-nations...

The only certainty is it's going to be a war yes!!!! Epic encounter on the cards indeed, one the Boks need to win to cement their status as worlds no 1 team...

CANNOT WAIT!!!! BRING IT!!!!

Both of them you mean! Expect a kicking/running game from AB's as they saw that OZ took us on with our own game and did it even better last time round.
My worry is our main chaser Haba (Hamsting?) Will he be able to chase our Hi up&under bombs?

Thats the crux against the All Blacks, cramp their style, disrupt their structered game play and then they fall apart.

Yep that's what we done and look at the result. Great UP for PDV to select the two Steyns and Burger to start and hold of on replacements right up to the end.

He is becoming a good "Manager" maybe one day even a coach.

Well no need really unless you enjoy watching Penguin hold conversations with himself like he just did above... ;)

Aha, there he starts to address his nemesis again. Shame. Back to topic before you cry again please

For me it's not about the few critic's I have on this site, they mean Fall to me, its about the others reading these posts and taking note of who knows, without bias, what they are talking about. Unlike those blind followers that will attack any person for having a different opinion. Glad you learned your lesson.

Ha ha ha........ all one can do is shake one's head..... ha ha ha

Apparently all it is about is saying nothing of interest to anyone else and then coming back later and agreeing with your earlier comments as a desperate attempt to talk to someone... anyone!

Hope with care and not while staring in the mirror, that could be dangerous for the very young and very old.

Can you now continue with the topic and get off your high horse. Let others give their opinions without your insults, referrals and attacks.

Well done PDV, against the odds you've inherited a world champion side and taken them to another level, British Lions series win and Tri-nations win in the most emphatic fashion... Big up meneer...

I agree totally... that is exactly what I was saying earlier. I'm glad someone else agrees with me...














**First prize to the first person who can work out who I am impersonating!**

As regards staying on topic... I had my say right at the start of today's "discussion"

Oh and out of interest....if you bothered reading back you will see that I in fact did not once insult or attack you prior to this little out burst of yours! All I did was innocently respond to Timgaul... but as I said in another thread.... you appear to be infatuated with me.
