So with the international season upon us I thought we needed a thread to discuss all things Bok related :D
 
What more is there to say, Pierre Spies is in the team. All is good in the world again
 
Spies shmies ..... Kankowski should of got the nod first. I reckon he should be the number one choice

You're dreamin buddy, stop sniffing the print toner. Spies is the man, strong, fast and quick on his feet. Accept defeat now, c'mon, I'll help you build this bridge so you can get over it :D
 
Methinks der new coach is trying too hard to please the selectors first and us second ........ might work, might backfire. Although I am pretty happy with the probable team apart from Ricky Januarie, Gurthrö Steenkamp, Pierre Spies and Luke Watson.

Kankowski was the best in the S14 ...... I reckon Spies is gonna be a handicap for us purely because of lack of game time.

Well we have the 2 tests against wales and then italy to sort out the finer details :)

We have some real world class players, and kankowski/spies on the bench while the other starts is also not a bad possition to be in :D

Well atleast we can agree on Luke Watson
 
That's why I say Spies needs more game time (not in Sprinkbok rugby) ...... he is a brilliant player no doubt.

I hate januarie, but he is the scrummie thats on form atm ;) Fourie is injured.
Luke watson will have to prove himself in test rugby, i really do not rate him.
But man Guthro is the man, how can you not be happy with him making the sqaud?

Uhm you know that Spies played for the bulls in the 2007 s14....you know...the team that actually WON the s14, unlike a certain eastern shores team that only reach the final, but never wins the final
 
Damn I love talking rugby!!!!! Bring on the biltong and beer!!!

... Kockott is the form scrummie just btw ... not that pretender. And Gurthro I have never rated .... there are better players IMO.

... exactly .... he played in 2007 ...... if he played this year (I dunno if he did), did he play to the same standard?

I dont know, I am also not convinced with guthro, but unfortunately there is no other, maybe he will surprise me completely like Pieterse last year

Yes he did, he came in later in the s14 season this year, and played in every game the bulls won
 
Also, while Chavanga is one speedy chap .... his defence is shocking.

Nope, did you see him cockit in the finals and a couple of other games?
Maybe next year, he is not responsible enough yet imo...also januarie has the exp. :) Like i said i really dont like the agressive little shlt but he is the best SA scrummie atm.
