I was very happy with the Springboks' performance today. Credit where it is due. Manie played a great game. I have been a critic of his and I still am, reservedly, simply because you cannot compare this with a tight game in the rain or where your forwards are not as dominant.

Still, he is picked for what he does in games like these and for that he gets a 10/10 from me.

I thought de Allende showed all the naysayers from years gone by why he is in a class of his own, along with Bundee Aki. Wiese was a monster and seemed to enjoy inflicting misery on his opponents. Ox is just a machine and the good part is, Kitshoff has publicly said his goal is to go to another World Cup.

He will be back with a vengeance in due time and then we have a good problem.

Fassi has finally reached maturity and I am so happy for the man. It seemed like it was on the verge of him being one of those Boks who could have been. Now look at him, taking charge, being physical, commanding play and distributing like a king. Love it.

Damian Willemse to return too.

Etzebeth must mean a whole lot to this group of players because it is not every day they perform like this. They all had good games.

Glad some of the standards is being carried over to a new generation.

Different perspectives I guess. Born and bred in CPT and Nelspruit was shocking to me

I went to school in the Cape. Also used to walk around late at night after some house parties etc. Got into lots of trouble and the insults were almost always racial. Even had knives v cricket bat fights. The toppies I knew were massive racists.

Black guy moves in next door? Play Shane die Vark as much as possible. The neighbours moved. The toppie hated the ANC. Almost lost his eyesight from some bombings or some shite. Not sure. I was a kid.

Nelspruit I visited several times a year and never had any issue with anyone. Loved every time I have been there.

Everyone still loves the WC. It's just the clique and the liberal shite there that does not sit with me. I am way too conservative. But hey, I am considerate, I have moved away from that place.

If I may ask, which song might that be? Zombie or Impi…

Neither. I'm talking about all the other random ones. Just choose fewer and play them longer instead of being DJ Skip. It's irritating.

Zombie is very appropriate ever since the SA vs IRE match last year and gets the crowd going. Unfortunately I have not heard them play Impi in a long time? Wish they would use it again for the Boks' entrance into the stadium.
 
Jis but Manie is a bang gat hey. So scared to tackle low and misses so many tackles.
