Eh? How would a Saffer get this job on Sunday?assfly wrote: Wed Oct 11, 2023 6:13 am I'm just glad Jonker isn't the TMO. That guy does not like flowing rugby and loves the sound of his own voice.
It's mandated by WR. The Boks like to announce the team early but have to ask permission every time.Gumboot wrote: Wed Oct 11, 2023 6:38 amThe Rassie tactic is doing what every other team has done forever?OomStruisbaai wrote: Wed Oct 11, 2023 6:16 am Bok team only be announce on friday.

It's not so much that I stand against the idiot, it's more that I have come to the realisation that cherry picking moments in the game can be a very dangerous activity. Because it might influence the feeble minds of those more inclined to use referees as an excuse for losses. This leads to the unfortunate conclusion that it was in fact never the team that wasn't good enough, but instead always the referee cost us the game. Which in turns leads to continuous negativity based on assumptions, which boils and festers to the point of ruining any possibility to find closure and moving on from said loss._Os_ wrote: Tue Oct 10, 2023 5:17 pm I stand with Insane Homer, a great poster who upholds the Natal tradition of putting the ref under thoroughgoing scrutiny.
All this "good luck to ref" stuff from the Stomps doesn't wash with me.

I'll just check Twitter.
No, they haven't but that's neither here nor there.Gumboot wrote: Wed Oct 11, 2023 8:17 amHave they ever been refused permission?average joe wrote: Wed Oct 11, 2023 6:47 amIt's mandated by WR.

He’s such a monumental arsePCPhil wrote: Wed Oct 11, 2023 10:58 am Nice bit of self reflection from Rassie where he basically says Covid screwed our heads and we went well over acceptable with ref criticisms.

Oh, then says French players dive and cheat to get penalties.
Yes, but he's our arse.
Dobbers dont want to coach the Bokke now. There is unfinish business at the $tormer$.
Let's be honest. He was a bit of a twat but seems to have sorted that out.
A lot of expectations on him

we are a rich country too many dogs
Its actually safer . Kids play barefoot in SA until u13 level. Only the Souties play with toks.laurent wrote: Thu Oct 12, 2023 9:29 amwe are a rich country too many dogs
I never played barefeet on a rugby ground.
Not a single club in france would do that (I am 54 and we played in boots when I was U10 and my little bro U8)OomStruisbaai wrote: Thu Oct 12, 2023 9:54 amIts actually safer .

most of us can see it would take a miracle of sorts to beat France. Saying otherwise would be foolish.
Of course. Ethnic origin determines whether you wear shoes or not
That's astounding. It's safer for the under 10s to under 13s to not wear boots. Well that's our reasoning.laurent wrote: Thu Oct 12, 2023 10:02 amNot a single club in france would do that (I am 54 and we played in boots when I was U10 and my little bro U8)OomStruisbaai wrote: Thu Oct 12, 2023 9:54 amIts actually safer .

I have this gut feeling the boks have been holding back. That's why the delay in naming the side. I do believe Rassie manipulated the result against Ireland. He has been confusing the opposition with bench mixes and naming the team early and also having 2 different teams. Opposition sides have to plan for 2 different game plans. I am thinking a 5 to 3 split. Pollard and Libbok in the mix. AE and Moodie starting. We know the results from the 2 sides Rassie fielded have varied. The toughest game for the B side was the ABs in Twickenham. But they nailed that. The A team has been losing games. But possibly tactically.OomStruisbaai wrote: Thu Oct 12, 2023 10:21 amNeed to be realistic.

Right now France is wondering how to plan their side. Before all the teams had lots of notice.
Depending on the starting side....an Easy Bok win. Convincing.
Or we are going home
