No Heinrich Brussow, Zane Kirchner, Stefan Tereblanche?

Boo at Rose and Ricky Januarie

Yeah cannot believe he made it in front of Kockott and Vermaak.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

And poor Brussouw. And as for Meisiekind ..... wait, he'll be shown up again that he can't play outside Loftus

 

[Picard]

Surely there are better than Adrian Jacobs.

[Sting]

So who is the first choice fullback? Ruan Pienaar, Jacque Fourie or Earl Rose? Cannot believe that a specialist fullback was not picked; whether Stefan Terblanche or Zane Kirchner.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

[APoc184]

Brussow should really feel cheated. I am so sad for him. I hope he destroys the Lions on Saturday and show Snorre and his puppets what they will be missing.
I can't understand why Zane or Stefan wasn't picked. O'Gara and Stephen Jones are probably laughing right now. Gonna pin us back in our own half.

 

[Sting]

Ok, a little more sense (?) - Frans Steyn at fullback...

 

[APoc184]

I think your squad is a bit wrong

Sorry. I copied straight from Keo.co.za

Fixed it now

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

I'm finding it really hard to accept Januarie, Rose and Chilliboy in this team hey ... to the point it's actually ticking me off.

+1.
In a way I hope they pick Earl and he gets a "Brian Lima" pass from Fourie with Brian O'Driscoll smashing him.

I am starting to think that earl is the custodian of the infamous PdV sex tape…

From Keo.co.za

 

[Sting]

Zane Kirchner and Louis Luddick as fullbacks in the Emerging Boks side AS WELL AS Earl Rose???? Why is Rose in both squads?

 

[Morgoth]

Rose??? where is Terblanhce or Kirchner? no stegman ?:S
Chilly boy I can semi understand...
WTF is January doing there?

 

[elL0L]

Negatives: Enrico January, Earl Rose, Chilliboy Ralepelle.

No Zane Kirchner, Deon Stegman

Positives: Morné Steyn
