[QUOTE="Sparty, post: 337335, member: 43218"] The facts are that this team beat the BL , won a WC and beat NZ twice in NZ in the last few years. Thats 2 x more than any other previous Bok team. Thats also 2 more WC than NZ. Granted 2007 was an easy one for us but that was not our fault , you guys were pathetic on the day....again. Sore losers ? Geez guy , the majority of SA fans acknowledge the ABS were the better team , the majority of SA fans accept that we need to work hard and maybe just maybe our hero's are past their sell by date. However the Majority are also sick of the crap reffing , its frustrating to watch our team unable to get fast ball cos some ABS prop is lying offside again but not being penalized , and as a former player I can tell its demoralizing as well , you just wanna smack the crap out of him at times. Anyway , dont mistake me complaining as a sign that we accept things the way it is , we know we need to up our game , we need a open side flank , we need a 8th man , better scrummie and inside centre. Fullback as well is a area of concern as the current FB is safe but thats about it. Last but not least our cappie is way off the pace , we know that , he knows that and it will be addressed. Normally I think he might nit have played this coming w\end but its his 100th game. Speaking about 100th game , I wonder if the fact that he is in his last 90's does not contribute to John Smit's form. Same like in cricket , nervous 90's ? Many times we see a batsmen playing stunning shots up until the 90 mark , then suddenly he goes into his shell and score the hundred off singles............nay he is just unfit :) [/QUOTE]
