SA vs Wales

 

Hmmmm

 

Wales have been consistently improving.

Gonna be a good test for the visiting Bokkies.

Would be nice to beat Wales convincingly. I'm tired of hearing that we got lucky every time we beat them.

[Andrew Steer]

Strong team, but I wouldn't have dropped Willie...

And hopefully we never see Sideshow Bob in a bok jersey ever again!

I think Wales will give us a real go, and if we are not on song, might even beat us.

[Captain K'nuckles]

Strongest team on paper in a long time.

I also thought Willie would be one of the first names on the team sheet. He was the difference between the class of 2012 and now.

 

Being a Shark I'm a JPP fan but not at the expense of Willie.

[fabes]

I like the team. Very solid

[JGR]

How Ruan got to 71 caps is beyond me - 3rd highest in the squad

You get a cap even if you play 30 seconds. Wonder how many hours of game time did he get?

[Big H*]

Francois Louw is a dumb cluck........ Even more stupid than Flip Van Der Merwe. He can be glad it is only a yellow, sure he will be cited and sent home.

Hier kom rooikaart Oosthuizen!

Pat, Pat, Pat...... Rather concentrate on the dandruff adverts. Kicking is NOT your forte

JP was useless tonight! Too slow

JP was useless tonight! Too slow

In his defence..he has been injured...Jacques fourie was worse in my book..but worst of all was the bloody commentary..it was painful

I just want to know why they keep guys in the team who does not even play rugby in SA, haven't we got 6 other just as good or better and younger guys to help getting ready for the World Cup?

Since it is a pro sport I have nothing against overseas based players, as long as they are the best for the job. That said, JP was useless and Jaques was not a lot better. Lambie proved he can't handle those big shoes. Scrappy game though, ref confused and lost it. Bad pitch proved too much to handle for the scrums.
