Does this BLM thing have a sell-by date? Why the hell is it done before every single match every week? I thought it was a once off thing but no..... Overkill much?

Well I was thinking along the lines of playing for England one day but the white rose will probably be a racist, colonial emblem

RG Snyman lasted 7 minutes for Munster in his debut. Stole a lineout but his lifters decided to piss off and let him fall to the ground and injure his knee. Didn't watch long after that so not sure how Duh Allende got on.

Rob du Preez scored a great try against Exeter but Sale fell apart in the second half.

Nic Groom and Jaco van der Walt had very good games for Edinburgh to beat Glasgow. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if Scotland look to cap Jaco as backup to Hastings.

Jaco is underrated.. Lots of potential that lad.

He is the very poor man's Pollard.

Heard Duhan vd Merwe looks good again for Edinborough

[Green light echo]

Heard Duhan vd Merwe looks good again for Edinborough

Any Saffers playing at home yet?

No of course not

[‘tsek]

Haven't seen much of van der Merwe, but he did look good with ball in hand. How far away is he from being capped for Scotland?

Wish someone can push this kont over the cliff. He is moers irritating

[‘tsek]

Geen maatjes nie. Bly nog saam sy ma. Gun hom tog maar net hierdie bietjie afleiding. As hy nie hierdie het nie, kak die buurt se katte weer en begin die neuskrap en bednatmaak. Dit hou hom uit die kwaad uit.

Sharks players refusing to take the knee.
Its expected. Our boys are elite sportsmen. Don't need to suck cock to get into the boks.


Besides. Plenty of Stormers players prepared to do that

We'll see what the real Shark players will do. A lot of cock suckers in that lot.

You have seen what the 2020 champions can do. Your players knelt down and felt the full force of their might

Worcester thumped Harlequins last night. Hoohaa and Francois Venter in incredible form.

Glad to hear Venter is finding form again, wish he had moved to one of the SA franchises after the Cheetahs got the boot from Soup

In a different time I think he would be a 50 cap Bok. He's such a natural 13.

Indeed. Has a great step and accelerates so well, like Jaque Fourie

I'm a big fan of Venter, such a natural centre, but let's not compare him to Jaque Fourie. I would not argue that an on-form Venter is a great addition to the Bok squad tho.

Slight sidenote, lot's of young centres at the Bulls, excited to see what White can do with them.

Really had a bad shake in SA. Tons of talent, but just never got the right chance in the right team at the right time.
Bad run on his debut EOYT where a decent Bok team lost to England, Italy and Wales in a row.

The more I watch these types of players abroad, the more I think a NH Bok team would work, especially given current scheduling mayhem.

We've always had the talent and the player pool, we just lack the coaching structures to make the most of it.
Even now, when Rassie stepped down, there wasn't a clear succession plan. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad Nienaber is getting a shot. He seems to have a good relationship with Rassie and the squad, but we really are throwing him into the deep end. When it comes to top level coaches in South Africa, the cupboard is pretty empty.

If Nienaber's tenure is a flop and Rassie can't step back in, who is next in line?
Ackermann? Du Preez or Dobson? Big fan of 2007 Jake White, but don't think I'd want him back. There really are few if any real contenders with a decent track record.

I definitely think we can make a Europe Based Bok team work is terms of sheer manpower we have up there, but can the coaches make it work and get them to gel as a team? I'm skeptical.
But we have to figure it out, because that is going to be the future of SA rugby IMO. Give the coaches as many options as possible and be flexible around players' other family life, contacts, commitments and injury rehab.

True. We'd probably have to have someone who is based there, but not coaching full time in the premiership.

Ah what the hell, here is my stab at a team (based on the games I've seen, no French based players)

1. Francois van Wyk
2. Akker / Franco Marais
3. Vincent Koch
4. Lood / RG Snyman (injured)
5. Jannes Kirsten
6. Marcel Coetzee / Ruan Ackerman / Chris Cloete
7. JL du Preez / Jacques Vermulen
8. Dan du Preez / Hanro Liebenberg
9. Faf / Hoohaa
10. Jaco van der Walt
11. Duhan van der Merwe
12. Damien de Allende
13. Francois Venter
14.
15. Louis Ludik

Definitely. Van Der Walt will likely be capped this year too. Pierre Schoeman next Autumn.

Some good players, but doesn't have the makings of a good team.
Might have to look at French players as well. There are a ton of them.
The listed team will probably raise some eyebrows from the Ministry of Sport as well.
Getting an European based squad might a trickier proposition than I thought...

I miss Jensra. He was always quite good with things like this.

[assfly]

Yes the ANC would have something to say about that

Add the French players and we've got a serious team.

[assfly]

Looks like Sale's saffers finally woke up as they thumped Bristol to move into 2nd.

Massuve games from Lood, JLdP, Faf, Akker, Coenie.

Rohan JvR put in a bone-crunching tackle when he came off the bench. Him playing next to Tuilagi is quite terrifying.

Thought Saffer brought the worst out of Sards. Now he is even far below what he was
