[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 142471"] How is Jake a traitor? Its sodding South Africa A you idiot! :lol: [/b][/quote] Ah, for the good old days of the Dark Continent: Greater South Africa, proxy governments, coups inspired by the sons of former European prime ministers, and the Boks thinking they're the best ... hang on a minute! The Namibs will kill BOD, then England and SA manufacture a draw in the pool match and meet in the final. Typical imperialists. [/b][/quote] Spot on there. The more things change, the more they stay the same. What price then Ireland actually making it past the quarter finals then mate, unlike 87, 91, 95, 99, 03, .....? Anyway, on the issue of ROG- my views on him, he`s a very good player, that knows his limitations, and plays within them. But I think that that is precisely RC`s point- he is a player who plays very well WITHIN those limitations. Anyone who suggests he`s a crap player, needs a lobotomy. But he just doesn`t have the all-round skills set of someone like Carter, Wilko, Larkham, even Hook or Paterson. Maybe a more consistent performer than the last 2, but nowhere near as creative. It certainly helps to have D`Arcy and BOD on your outside, just get the ball to them to create the plays. But imagine if he had a greater skills set, what damage that backline could create? [/QUOTE]
