Albert van den Bergh - Barend Pieterse, Ross Skeate, Andries Bekker, Francois van Schouwenburg
Jacques Cronje - Playing him will cause Spies to move to flank again....just stupid
Francois Steyn - Willem de Waal, Morne Steyn....but why 3 flyhalves in any case
JP Pietersen - useless
Lobberts - high on potential, but LOW on dicipline....give me Floors anytime, but he's probably on Jake's too-short list

His parents must first donate a sheep for the next spitbraai, then he'll get his chance!
*Springbok rugby is so full of politics, it's scary.
(Who was the coach that told Tiaan Strauss that as long as he's the coach, Tiaan will never play for the Boks? Well, at the end he had to leave for Australia...)

Yes.... And Jake Probably gets off on John Smith when they travel. FFS ! Put Schalk Brits in there...
John might be a good leader but he's far behind when it comes to playing Rugby as a Hooker.
O *Hooker* maybe that is why Jake keeps him there....LMAO

I agree, John Smit is DEFINITELY not the best (rugby) hooker in South Africa. In fact, I don't even think he is the second best there is.
Order of hookers in SA:
1) Gary Botha
2) Schalk Brits
3) Tiaan Liebenberg
4) John Smit
It really irritates me that Jake White (JW) has this obsession with size. To leave out two of the best flanks in the country (Floors and Watson) - and a potentially brilliant Springbok captain (Watson) on the basis of size is ridiculous. The Aussies with Smith and Waugh must be laughing.
Pieterse has performed consistently well all year. He was a stalwart for FS in the S14, and has remained so in the CC. He is certainly more deserving than Ackermann.
Ndugane is too slow to ever play international rugby. Now if he were in NZ, Spies may well have been chosen as a wing.

AFAIK Spies did play Wing when he played school rugby .... His dad also played Wing (14) for the Bulls Many moons ago !
You could be on to something there....
The guy is no more than a fairly good provincial player!!
Ag please?? It didn't stop White from picking Solly ahead of Watson on the "transformation" ticket. Hang on...Floors will add to the "numbers" too.
Seriously, White has gone on record as saying he will NEVER pick Watson, so don't try and reason for him. He won't, no matter what race, size, age anyone else is...if you can spell F-L-A-N-K you will be selected ahead of Watson

I think we need to phone Errol Tobias & ask him what he thinks about the new Bok squad - dit is duidelik.

Errol can't talk mate, not even afrikaans.
Ah well, at least he's not on Boots 'n All with Naas -" but Joel, let's be honest now."

I tried to email Errol, but I'm not getting a reply. Maybe you can try to mail him as well. Errol's email adress : [email protected]

Funny thing about Errol is that when Joost sits next to him in the studio, Joosts mouth gets stupid too.
Errol can't speak English or Afrikaans properly, so when he gets himself into a corner (which happens quite a lot), he just says : 'Dit is duidelik'.
That is normally the signal for Kobus Wiese, Tony Ndoro or Naas Botha that he ran out of steam and they need to 'rescue' him.

Naas on Saturday @ halftime : "The tendency is now with the Cheetahs" . I thought about it and realised it should've been "The momentum is now with the Cheetahs"

He should have said.... "Looks like the Cheetas has the best latency as this Blue bulls have alot of Lag."
