[QUOTE="QKXV, post: 116849"] To be fair Boggle, Boknaai's(love the nickname) right with regards to the Bokke being able to rise above S14 level, Esoj is brave to say that there's no room for improvement as not any of the SA S14 franchises are made up entirely of Springboks and I don't think JW coaches any of the franchises either. I believe the same point was made about NZ's franchises too elsewhere. Boknaai it is just as silly to write of Australia as it is for Boggle to want to become an honourary kiwi :P Everyone knows what the AB's are packing, and they've been playing their own unique brand of rugby for a while now, it's true they are miles ahead of the pack but do you remember when SA started using the blitz defence? For a little while people had no idea what to do until they figured out a way to capatilize on it. AB's had been at the forefront of change for a while now, but other teams are catching on how to nuetralise certain strengths and turn them into a weakness i.e Mckaw. That's the nature of the ever evolving game, just you ask Doc Craven Our two top SA franchises are in good, nay, fantastic form. Traditionaly strong Bulls/Stormers sides meant a good Springbok side, now we have a SHark tint to that mix and I believe it will bring some much needed variety, discipline and fun to BOk rugby.
