Official Springbok selection, moaning and bitching thread

[Cartman]

Hendrikse called up

Why? Injury or expecting a citing of Faf?

Faf's injury but still not sure whether he will actually be out

[boere wors]

Yo thx, seen it, just edited above. Trust Herschel and Cobus can do the job as well, no worries

[Cartman]

We will probably need to play more ball in hand anyway so not too worried

Faf's injury but still not sure whether he will actually be out

It's an honor for Hendricks. It's an honor for the Sharks and all their supporters. Faf will be fine. If not Cobus will do a great job.
One thing for certain. The Sharks players in the side have done the union very proud. Even Siya has benefited from his rehab program at the Sharks and the game time before the tour.

[boere wors]

Our other scrumhalves are class, we can be quite relaxed. Actually I would like to see Cobus given a chance, he has been in great form lately. Herschel always rises on the occasion, so no sweat either.

I'm pretty sure we will see Duane on Saturday, which will be great for us. If PSdT is out, move Mostert to 7, he is familiar with the position and in fact it has worked really well for us in the 2nd half yesterday. This will allow us to bring Lood into the starting XV, he should be up for it by now conditioning wise. His cameo of the bench was nothing short of impressive yesterday, he was everywhere, every lineout and maul, every kickoff reception went to him. He made a huge difference, impressive performance by him, got us on the front foot.

Dude....I am many proud of the Sharks players. All the tries....MOM performances. If you don't feel proud of your unions performances in the bok team you have no blood in your veins

It's the Springboks, we are all South Africans. I don't give a shit about which union one plays for. So should everybody, including our WP coaches

We want more yellow cards????

[Cartman]

Emma Smit on Twitter saying Boks were already focused on next game this morning
I think the third test last tour really hurt us and is the one we all wanted to win this time, in addition to the other two of course
Lions are a bit fucked if you ask me

He don't realize that 8 of yesterday's starting XV (6 in the pack) played for Rassie's Stormers team.

Thank vok we played them early so that the players needed could win the game for us in the second half

[Sards]

How is Mapimpi....the GOAT of Springbok wingers...........

So proud of our boy.......and such a humble person.

[handyman]

Go eggman!

[Chilli]

I wonder what the brains trust, not the elite posters , think of Jasper Wiese?
Epic on defense but not much else.

I'm sure that there are other South African 8's who could have added more

Never got go forward ball.....tackled backwards mostly ....not close to the leauge of players like Duane , Marcell , Dan or Jean Luc

[boere wors]

Dan du Preez should have earned himself a go at 8 for the boks with his recent form for Sale. Yet he was affected by covid and has now been sent home together with his brother. I hope both are back for TRC.
Sikhumbuzo Notshe is out injured, he will certainly be in the mix once recovered.
Jaques Vermeulen was a stand out player for exeter the last two years, worth a look at.

All fit and in form, I would have them from best to worst as 1. Vermeulen, Coetzee, Du Preez.

[boere wors]

Agree regarding Wiese, hasnt impressed. Defensively he was fine on saturday, but his ball carrying was poor. But one has to say, filling the boots of a duane vermeulen against the british and irish Lions on debut is a big ask, and for that he has done quite well.

Yep, still a laaitie, so a big ask to come and replace one of our best players.

[boere wors]

Agree. Coetzee has just turned 30, if he only would stay fit for a longer period of time, he would be a great asset to have for the boks. Quality player, has matured immensly in Ulster and covers all backrow positions.

Obviously need to cover 7 , 8 and 11

[Sards]

Anyone else think Goosen should have been called up for this last game....?

[boere wors]

No, no need, but he certainly should be in the bok mix for TRC and beyond. Just like other class players such as Jan Serfontein, Marcel Coetzee and Jean Luc du Preez.

Ja I messed that one up. Was going to edit then never got around to it. Also I was referring to a Kolbe replacement rather than Mapimpi

[Cartman]

No i just wasnt sure if it was who i thought it was

[OomStruisbaai]

Grobbies deserves his call up. He has been very good for the Bulls.

He has been excellent.
Do they need another hooker? Dweeba is still there isn't he?

Seems they're looking ahead to the RC with these additions
