Shebeen Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 What the heck is Fourie du Preez doing in the mix... What a coach. Stupido!I know, uh mean look what that total moron Jake White did with George Smith? Absolute no talent has been with goes to japan to eat wasabi for a few years and comes back and expects to get his place in the brumbies team. Thinks he can shave his dreadlocks and he can sneak into the wallabies team without anyone noticing. [disclaimer - i haven't seen FdP play for a while, but has just won consecutive championships. If he's fit he slots straight into my match 22..wtf has been doing this past six months, playing golf?? ]

Greybeard Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 I have question marks around two players who have just not impressed in their recent outings. Willie Le Roux has been "hyped" into the team, his 3 tests have so far have been unimpressive, Pat Lambie is being left in the cold again and Meyer has overlooked inbred class. ( When will an offer from Europe finally tempt him?)How many international teams would not play a fit Bismarck? Adriaan Strauss epitomises Domkrag but fails in his most important role. Lineout throws!

Lineout throws! You clearly wearing your Shark sunglasses when making the above comments... The selections in the team, and only based on your concerns are based solely on the respected super rugby games. Lambie has looked unsettled and off form for the sharks for the whole season. Bismark hasn't played much rugby, and he'll be back. As for Willie Le Roux. It's him or fairly average Kirchner in place for fullback, Willie much more versatile than Kirchner was and will ever be... I think the thing most is missing is that HM claims he's building for the World Cup, then why bring in the "older guns"???

Wannabe Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Where are all the Lions players What Lion players? Remember, we're talking of an Blue Bulls couch here, no love for Lions players. scotty 1
Wannabe Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 But that's a good thing. Don't disrupt the Lions CC team, let them get some continuity and amass some points. Mackie and scotty 2
Shebeen Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 i reckon this is going to be quite a tight rugby championships. probably weakest kiwi team we've seen in a while. wallabies a bit of a wildcard after losing lions tour and now with new coach.boks always have potential to be world's best. I reckon things are pretty even, and the difference could actually come from the pumas causing an upset somewhere along the way.
Skubarra Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Where are all the Lions players Maybe the problem is that Heyneke wants to WIN some of the games? At least there are 2 ex-Lions in the team...

I reckon things are pretty even, and the difference could actually come from the pumas causing an upset somewhere along the way. Weakest kiwi team? Explain? The injury of DC is a blessing in disguise, again AC is the flyhalf after leading the mighty Chiefs to super rugby glory once again!!! Only weakness in this team, is McCaw(returning from sabbatical) and Cane(plunkman for chiefs). And you can't really call McCaw a weakness. He's very presence in any team lifts the spirit and morale of not only the team, but it seems the entire New Zealand nation. Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1
Wannabe Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Maybe the problem is that Heyneke wants to WIN some of the games? At least there are 2 ex-Lions in the team... Then he must get rid of some of that hasbeen BB players in his squad. :whistling:
