    Goooooooo Bokke!

    Allister Coetzee has AGAIN picked Kolisi, Frans Malherbe & Beast Mtawarira!

    Would have been better to start with Steven Kitshoff at loosehead prop, Julian Redelinghuys at tighthead prop and Jaco Kriel at blindside flank!!

    The Irish loosehead prop, Jack McGrath, is going to scrum Malherbe again till his head is up his arse, and Malherbe will be penalized a few times, costing the Bokke points, every time!!

    Beast is not what he used to be… and he is too predictable…

    Siya Kolisi was schooled the last 2 Tests and found seriously wanting!! CJ Stander is his direct opponent at blindside flankk and it would simply have been much better to have used the abrasive Jaco Kriel, who is not only harder and stronger…. but miles better than Kolisi!!

    Luckily Mvovo is on the bench and Ruan Combrinck is starting, hell Mvovo should not even have been near the bench!!

    May the best Team win.
    History may well record this day, as the Greatest EVER in Irish Rugby.
    Or.
    It may record the day, as a great, “backs to wall”, Springbok Triumph.

    Whatever the end result………………………………………just try to enjoy.
    Remember it’s only a pharking game……………………………………………….Yeah right, …………just a game.

    Bog Leapers by less than 1 point. (a draw would be victory of sorts for them).

    (no smilie here folks, I know this is serious shit for you Okes.)

    I see kick off is 1700 hours.

    Even I cannot cope with that.

    Good luck Okes.

    GO BOKS!

    Am just watching the U20 3rd place play off. I haven’t been following it at all, so know nothing about the SA side, but, I can only see 4 players of colour on the pitch (could be wrong), and of those, only 1 black player. If that is what we have coming through the ranks, how are the Books ever going to be able to stick to the transformation charter and remain competitive.

    With what we have coming through, I am becoming more demoralised with SA rugby, as it just seems to get weaker and weaker. We are so lucky that we are playing against a side that is a.) at the end of a gruelling season, b.) inundated with injuries, and c.) the weakest team I have seen from Ireland for a long time, as it is making us look so much better (even when losing) than we actually are. The series has been very deceiving.

    It is such a shame that we are just starting to see more and more South African names appearing in other countries colours, but something drastic has to happen in SA politics to change the future of SA rugby. Otherwise we will only cheering on the odd occasion that we manage to beat Japan.

    He went for the ball, but had a lessor chance to catch the ball…

  • 26

    Willie le Roux gets the Yellow card… unfortunate but that is how they interpret it these days!

  • 27

    Irish knock… Bokke scrum on the Ireland 10m line.

    Very lucky. Can someone explain how that was less dangerous than CJ’s misdemeanour?
