    What I Pray for, for SA Rugby in 2012

    2011 was not a great year for South African rugby. Our domestic teams were dramatically inferior in Super Rugby and the Boks looked out of sorts in both the Tri-Nations and the World Cup. South African rugby clearly has fundamental errors and a grassroots effort to completely revamp the current...

    Cymro it was a bit unneccasery for you to say "silly question that's been answered". That's just not nice

    The Sharks: 2012

    Agreed with basically every single thing you said until it got to your selections I just rate Mark Richards is ridiculously under-rated as a wing.....he's not even in your squad. And Hoffmann not in your 22? Come on bro. 1. Herbst 2. Bismarck 3. van Staden 4. Deysel (Liking him at lock) 5...

    My Write-Up On Where Aus Went Wrong

    Notice how well Aus are playing? Think maybe it has anything to do with the fact that Genia's been passing to Cooper and not kicking?

    My Write-Up On Where Aus Went Wrong

    I am in no way saying that the forwards part is unimportant. I completely agree that line-outs, scrums etc are vital. What I’m saying is, on far too many occasions, Genia gets the ball from the ruck, his backs are fanned out and ready to rock & roll, and then he box-kicks or gives it to a...

    My Write-Up On Where Aus Went Wrong

    Okay but then what do you reccomend they do? You can't just tell the forwards "Hey! Stop being useless!" and then expect them to suddenly be dominant. The strength of Australia is their class backline, and they need to play to that strength. Guys like Ioane, JOC, Quade, Beale and co are more...

    My Write-Up On Where Aus Went Wrong

    If you go back and watch the game, you'll see that they hardly ever actually played with the backs when they had any attacking opportunities. Look at how when there were a few minutes to go and they just went with the pick & go at the try line instead of playing with the backs! That, and the...

    My Write-Up On Where Aus Went Wrong

    Went a bit overboard and unneccasery in that post. There is no reason for you to tell me I don't know anything about the other parts of the game etc. Darwins facts don't show whether or not the kicks were box-kicks or territorial kicks (territorial kicks I am all for), and it certainly does not...

    Who Sharks backline would you select for 2012?

    15. Terblanche (He is world class at fullback, not outside centre) 14. Viljoen (I love him at flyhalf, but that is obviously a position for Freddie) 13. Ludik (Why not?) 12. Lambie 11. Mvovo 10. Michalak 9. Hoffmann

    My Write-Up On Where Aus Went Wrong

    Couldn't find those particular stats on espnscrum. Can't be correct though, simply can't. It's a known fact that Genia has been kicking waaaaay too much

    My Write-Up On Where Aus Went Wrong

    No excuses for him kicking out on the full off a restart, but all the other mistakes... look, he makes all those mistakes because he tries to produce magic where magic can't be produced. He feels he needs to try do a miraculous kick in a dead straight line down the touchline while being tackled...

    My Write-Up On Where Aus Went Wrong

    A weak pack doesn't force Genia to box kick from almost every ruck or force him to let the forwards pick & go instead of starting a backline move

    My Write-Up On Where Aus Went Wrong

    When you put it like that, Robbie Deans sounds awesome, or you could look at it this way: The Northern Hemisphere teams are really, really poor. The only team close to the Wallabies and the AB's is the Boks, but PDV has made the Boks FUBAR (the BAR stands for beyond all recognition....I'll let...

    My Write-Up On Where Aus Went Wrong

    Sam, I didn't say he is purposefully sabotaging the Wallabies! I just rate that in terms of gameplan, he sucks. And you keep saying the Reds gameplan won't work at international level, but the opposite hasn't done so well either? The ABs play very similar rugby to the Reds, in that they spread...

    My Write-Up On Where Aus Went Wrong

    The whole point of my thread is, that's the attitude Robbie Deans has and where has did it get Aus this WC? I guarantee that Aus would've beaten Ireland had they played like the Reds

    I'm not saying he must pick the entire Reds team. But the gameplan should definitely be the same
