This will be my last post on TRF and here's why: Most of you are ******* idiots.
You ******* idiots think Gurthro Steenkamp is a good player
You ******* idiots think John Smit is a good player
You ******* idiots think Jannie du Plessis is a good player
You ******* idiots think Ricky...
The Springboks were a disgrace to rugby and to South Africa. Smit proved that he is a fat, over-paid piece of ****. Quota players and useless captaincy ruined that game and I don't see the Springboks winning the tri-nations nor the World Cup.
Gurthro Steenkamp proved that he has just been on a...
No Bismarck is a blessing, trust me. If Carter IS in good goal-kicking form, Bismarck would cost us the match because of all the penatlies he concedes. The only reason he didn't cost us last year was because the kickers were Donald for NZ and Giteau for Aus.
I'm not going to try defend myself to Iron Mike. If he thinks I have a problem with black rugby players then good for him.
Anyway, here are my picks for probable outcomes:
We can probably expect the ABs to use their backs alot. South Africa will struggle on attack because of a completely...
Dropping Drew Mitchell - It is clear that Robbie Deans does not want to win. I have nothing but good things to say about Drew Mitchell and I think it is shocking that he is dropped. He was one of the best wings in the S14. I also love Mitchell because he was in my fantasy team when he scored 4...
No, it's not that Jean de Villiers is a bad player. I still highly rate him as a centre. Let's not forget, he was Springbok of the year in 2008. He had one bad season. We should have worked on him at centre now so that he regains his form by the 2011 WC. What the hell is him being on the wing...
Great, well-written piece! What isn't mentioned is how the loss of Genia probably makes it near impossible for the Aussies to lift the trophy this year. I think his absence is the final nail in the coffin.
It also has to be said that the All Blacks will struggle if Carter doesn't hit form...
I do very much understand what yoou're trying to say. My problem is this:
While I agree with you that Francois knew what he was doing when he decided to play over-seas, so did the other guys. It is the EXACT same situation, but he is making allowances for the other guys, not France Steyn...
No I don't think that's accurate. I'm fairly certain that Francois does want to play for the Boks. PDV and Frans have never gotten along. I mean, he got dropped that one game in the tri-nations last year because Div wanted to put his boyfriend Pienaar at fullback. We lost that match and then he...
I could be wrong, but wasn't Francois Steyn a player-of-the-year nominee last year? If he was, then it just shows how unproffesional PDV is - dropping him because he's havig his period
I'll be pretty angry if Jean is on the wing. Why not van den Heever, Hougaard or Aplon? And Jean de Villiers and Jaques Fourie in midfield would be incredible defence, although Wynand is a pretty good defender too. I still can't drop the fact that Kirchner is still being taken seriously. He's my...
I know Carter's running game is second to none, but I mean his goal-kicking has been poor for a while. Seriously, I'd love to see his kicking stats that aren't in front of the poles. I'm also not saying he's a bad goal-kicker, it's just that he's not kicking as well as he used to - he went...
What would some of your SAF, NZ and Aus teams be?
SAF:
Schalk Burger
Ryan Kankowski (His style greatly suits 7s)
Pierre Spies
Fourie du Preez
Bryan Habana
Jaques Fourie
Jean de Villers
NZ:
Richie McCaw
Victor Vito
Hosea Gear
Ma'a Nonu
Cory Jane
Conrad Smith
Joe Rockococo...
It's deffinitely gonna be an awesome game, but the Boks will come away with it. Having two South African teams in the Super14 final really shows what a good place SA Rugby is in at the moment. I'll be disapointed if we see an all-Shark front row, considering how useless the Sharks were this...
Alot of people would actually agree with me on most of those. Bismarck isn't crap but he's too ill-dicsiplined for me to want him starting in the Bok team. Same goes for Jannie. I like Terblance. But I think alot of people will agree with me on the rest of those
I understand what you're saying, but Gurthro is useless and you guys will all see that verrrry soon. Last year hardly anyone wanted him in the Bulls and now all of a sudden he's being made out by some to be like a scrumming god (I don't mean you though). I may be able to come to terms with...
I don't believe what I'm hearing. People have forgotten the dominance of BJ Botha and CJ van der Linde. Gurthro Steenkamp has been a useless, fat blob his entire career and now he has a couple of decent games and he must be put in over world-cup-winning CJ?
And I actually can't believe...
