nickc Posted September 30, 2014 Share No, haven't erased that. Was a sitter, and should have been goaled. I was referring to the inherent class that he has as a rugby player. In my nonguppie view, very few players have the ability to do clever things as naturally as he can. I think Pollard is cut from the same cloth. From a Sharks perspective though, I see Jake White has moved on. Can't say I'm sad. Now that was a surprise - I wonder what the story behind that was, not even a full year with the Sharks.

Stretch Posted September 30, 2014 Share guess your guppie goldfish memory had already erased the sitter he missed bang in front. Lambie always used to do that...miss his first I mean....he is not the greatest kicker and its one part of his game he needs to improve...his vision on the other hand is world class. I think in time to come its going to be a tough battle between pollard and lambie. Steyn's ship has thankfully finally sailed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always liked Goosen - but my word, I have never known an oke to have such bad luck when it comes to injuries - hopefully one day he can turn that around. flymango 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meezo Posted September 30, 2014 Share My opinion. Pollard should be played every game till the world cup. Lambie is good off the bench, but not under pressure. Goosen, yeh shame! Agreed keep off the radar off the spotlight from SA media, and hopefully he comes back with a bang. Like FSteyn did a couple years ago flymango 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like FSteyn did a couple years agoIf Goosen does come back like Frans Steyn did, my only hope is that he doesn't have the mantra of highest paid rugby player in the world and that SARU honour any contractual commitments to him ...

Shebeen Posted September 30, 2014 Share can you hear that? it's south african rugby fans debating which of our young BRILLIANT world class flyhalves we should have in the team and not who is the least boring kakkest number 10 that we must just make do with. Since it's a world cup process, we can't have lambie as #1 kicker. Would need someone like percy at fullback to take that role. can willie kick for posts, i'm sure he can since he does everything else brilliantly? edit:one more thing, depth is good.NZ won the 2011 WC with the following flyhalvescarter, slade, cruden and porker donald coming off his fishing trip to hit the winning points. nic evans probably would have been in there too but only richie and dc were allowed to play for overseas clubs and still be an all black.[They also needed bryce] Edited September 30, 2014 by Shebeen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted September 30, 2014 Share Something in me says that Goosen may yet be the first choice RWC flyhalf if he has a good season in France and is injury free. Another gifted, instinctive player. However, I'm not sure that 10 isn't a much more difficult position just to slot into after a year away, playing a different type of game. I reckon your 10 needs to be playing locally, at minimum Superrugby, and involved from NOW with the setup. injury aside, I'm pretty sure Pollard and Lambie will be the 2 world cup 10s.

JGR Posted September 30, 2014 Share If Kockett playing at 9 he could kick and then wouldn't matter if we had a shaky kicker ... just saying Meezo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted September 30, 2014 Share i tried to find kicking percentages for lambie vs pollard vs steyn vs gooysen...but there is nothing i can find. clearly rugby needs a cricinfo type site! anyway..information i gleamed for Lambie for the 2011-2014 Super rugby is 77% kicking success...which is not great...but not terrible either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running alongside Wille he can be deadly.

"What he's done the last three or four years far overshadows one bad judgment. But there are consequences and they areimmediate consequences. "The upshot is he has given another guy a chance. They do say sometimes it's harder to get out of the All Blacks than it is to get in, and giving Barrett two starts means if he does deliver it's going to be pretty hard not to pick him afterwards."That's the danger Cruden now faces."

Your post was a little bit incoherent too, the bit on Mehrtens made no sense - been out with Aaron on the piss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
