Strongest squad possible. Maybe we can win all our November tests for once in a decade this time.
Looking forward to that england test.

Hanekom is unlucky.

Is it fair to say that we have [thankfully] seen the last of Dweba?
I'm pleasantly surprised to not see Moerat and Dixon in the squad.
Is Am lucky to have made the squad? He didn't do well as 12 and hasn't been great for the $harks.
Hooker and Henekom must have been pretty close to making the squad.
Moerat is injured.
Dixon screwed up against Argentina and paid the price.
Likewise Am should have been binned, but is lucky that the next cab off the rank is Estherhuizen who's even shitter. Red cards incoming!!!

Yeah, but in place of who? Louw has grabbed his chance (when Hanekom was injured) and deserved to travel. Wiese is undroppable (I am still not a fan) and Eskom takes a different spot in the squad, openside cover.LoveOfTheGame wrote: ↑Tue Oct 22, 2024 11:59 amMy biggest surprise is that he was not selected, even just to go on tour and start experiencing the Bok camp. Really strange one.
I've seen a divorce take place this year of a mate.....after 6 months he is still going through shit and he has practically disapeared from the scene.

Kolisi's wife demanded him to play for the Stormers.
No wonder he is kicking her out.

It really doesn't matter. Biggest lesson I took in.....divorce attorney. A leopard doesn't change its spots. I had hope for him when he had a breakout season at the Stormers. From there it went to shit. As it typically does with him. Now the Stormers are sitting in a very bad place. There is massive " colored " support at the Stormers so no matter how real the situation is , and how poor the players are, nothing will change without a huge Hoo ha.OomStruisbaai wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2024 6:47 pmYou were the only one supporting Libbok. For some fucked reason.
But to think the administration gave up Hollywoodbets and settled for a very limited purse , boggles the mind. And I am sure the clubs had a lot to do with that. I the insanity of making Moerat a Springbok captain. How much pressure was Rassie under to do that. I said it before. Have you ever wondered why the class black players left for the Sharks and other unions. Season is not done. Still some time to get the side to work. But it just might be time to think about winning the Challenge Cup and focusing on that.

Stormers don't play in the Challenge Cup.
I must be mistaken. What is that URC trophy the Sharks have.
Not the CC one
