Springbokke next 4 years to 2027

[handyman]

Agreed.

Willie can be infuriating to watch and has a crazy error count sometimes...but then he sets up the pass to Kolbe that results in the Jantjies score that results in a draw against the All Blacks away.
Or joins the line and set up a pin-point flat pass for a try like no other SA player.

I've always had a preference for a safe, bankable, last-line-of-defense fullback...but the last one we had was Percy.
If I had to choose between an error-prone Willie vs an error-prone Zane Kirchner nor Andries Coetzee, it's a no-brainer.
I have to admit, I'm really worried about our back-ups at 15 because none of Willemse, Bosch or Galant really fill me with much confidence.

I think Willemse can turn into a good fullback. He is a solid lad, can kick out of hand, not shy to run it to the line and a very good defender. It also might take away his approach of trying to create magic with every touch.

Watch Odendaals run for Jantjies try...watch the last defender...watch how he throws himself onto the floor like a petulant child and has a mini tantrum whilst Odendaal ghosts past him without a hand touching him.....

No offence, but I only talk rugby with people that watch and understand rugby.

[handyman]

I agree with you re Willemse, BUT, he is only 22, he is still learning his craft, so I'm prepared give him another few years. Remember, Willie first played SupeRugby aged 23 and for the Boks his first test was aged 24.

Willemse has time on his side, let's hope all the people hyping him are right and that he will come through in the end. Writing players off aged 22 is daft.

Agree that he is still a kid and will mature as a player. I'm looking forward to that.
Just saying he's not there yet, and I'm not going to pretend that he is.

At the moment he is not impressing at flyhalf at all and our backline is useless.
In the passed we blamed the 9 or 12 for that, but 9 has been sorted now, so the blame has to go to 10.
If he is too young to be an effective general at this level, we need to start with somebody else and sub Willemse in in the last quarter to develop his game.

Agree with all of that, I would like to see him go up North for a couple of seasons to get some structure in his game.

Watch at 4:40............brat....stomping his feet into the ground like a spoilt child....and dont tell me he is a good defender because he is not . A very poor attempt at a tackle

Rugby onslaught has had it in for the Boks since we won the world cup. According to them we bought the ref's, we cheated, our players are kak sleg and we should just give the cup back. They're a bit of a joke shop really.

Ok that's why, I was already wondering what a joke that is. Didn't know that site. Looking at the other articles, it makes sense now

You are so obsessed with Gazza, its getting boring.

You must watch Chasing the sun to understand the works within the Springbok team.

Jantjies played an important role preparing in the lead up to the next test playing like the opposition 10 in practises.

After watching that its obvious that he will walk into the Bok team if Pollard gets injured. I also see that Johan Goosen is going to the Bulls. Once he start playing, he'll walk into the Bok team.

Rassie playing with a 6/2 split on the bench make versatile players like Pollard/Steyn/Goose/Gazza important.

Gazza is a vokop....he shouldn't be anywhere near the boks

Goosen is 28 now, hope he has grown out of his grille and giere.

That guy should have/could have had 100 caps by now. Such a shame.

Quite right. I think possibly Rassie's best skill is his ability to pick the players with the best attitude, heart and kop. Goosen might be playing SupeRugby and Currie Cup for a while...

Pretty much this. Shit site and bad hit job on Handre. Some of those were bad passes TO him, yet he gets blamed? Or other defenders running into him?

Could make a similar video on any player when you follow them around for a couple of matches and make a compilation of their fuck ups.

Ja. Look he was made of glass early on in his career but The Widowmaker Meyer killed his Bok career by playing him while injured.

“Salmaan and JD are a great combination and I see them as potentially becoming a Bakkies and Victor combination that will terrorise teams in the years to come." - Do you agree with DHL Stormers forwards coach Rito Hlungwani?

Hardly any better than Marvin .....Definitely not in the class of RG......Hyron is also up there.

What a joke that was, i remember that game. Didn't he do his acl then and was out for good?

I cant argue that. Locks and fatties are like red wine , older the better. Both are still spring chickens and raw but have the talent to go places.

Their combination are right.

JD is lucky to still play rugby.

JJ van der Mescht better than Moerat. JD Schikerling just not physical enough and doesn't have the engine of say a Mostert.

Can anyone here recommend any decent SA rugby podcasts?

The Daily Maverick has a Maverick Sport podcast. It’s not rugby specific, but they do have coaches and former players on from time to time.

This interview with Jacques Nienaber in July was quite interesting. https://podcasts.apple.com/za/podcast/m ... 0485175322

PSDT who is up for player of the decade award? Not a bad role model.

You need to understand that in rugby, you can't run from the word go. You need to build an innings. Watch Chasing the Sun on Sundays. I find it weird that you post on here without educating yourself, you risk exposing yourself as ignorant.

JJvdM is about 1 pie short of matching Malherbe for Gut of the Year.
