[QUOTE="sledge, post: 332297, member: 43202"] Loe gets this pretty much spot on: "The old days of sorting out a Bakkies Botha by a swift clip to the chin in a scrum have gone. It used to cost you a lecture and three points if their kicker was good enough. That's all gone now. "Now it's a yellow card and the other guys stick 10 points on your side while you're off the field. It can't happen - but it is with them." PDV makes me laugh out loud everytime I see him. Anyone with an ounce of rugby nous can spot an imposter a mile away. But like Loe, I hope he stays on board for as long as possible - The Boks have some class players (a little old maybe, but still class) and they're being given a duff script to play to... Kick it up and pulverise the catcher [only works if you chase as a line and do't kick it to class players] Smash the ruck and clearout aggressively [great, but the ball's already gone, since you were too busy lining up cheapshots on the fringe to actually protect the carrier who got turned and stripped by Richie.. again...] Use brute force, smash 'em up anyway you can. [Err.. the days of Homer Refs like Gert Bezuidenhout on the high veldt are gone - if you head butt, gouge or otherwise commit GBH now you'll at the least get yellowed, concede 10 points and at worst get cited and be out for a season]. Looking forward to the rest of the Bi-nations. [/QUOTE]
