Really? No place for the best 6 in the country (by a mile) Jaco Kriel? My loosies would've been 6. Kriel, 7 Vermeulen and 8 Whiteley (captain). Frosty and scotty 2
Khronis Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Jaco Kriel not even on the bench , what more does he have to do

Sent from my GT-S6790 using Tapatalk "At the moment"? I assume you've been watching him a lot playing in the European leagues? Otherwise how would you know that he is our best? I base my opinion of WW on the fact that he has been the best 8 IN SA for the last 2 seasons. He's a different type of 8 though, more of a link and attacking space type of player rather than bashing it up with brute force like Duane. I know which one I'd prefer... And that's why I'd rather have WW at 8 and Duane at 7. But hey, I'm not the bok coach... This is still a good team and should beat Ireland comfortably. It's not our BEST team though.

There's only one coach in SA that plays an attacking, space creating game and that coach ain't AC. We know exactly what we are going to get from AC - bash bash bash defend defend defend ad nauseum. I hope I'm wrong.

Wannabe, Bloukrans, Escapee.. and 2 others 5

Exciting players but we know in test rugby is much tighter than Super 28 rugby
MTBeer Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 I just can't see this team klapping the big boys! Exciting players but we know in test rugby is much tighter than Super 28 rugbythat's just the thing Bloukrans. In my opinion the only place we can match NZ for talent and quality is at lock. The other 13 positions we are way behind. We run them close sometimes on pure guts, but that only lasts so long.
HappyMartin Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 How come the top Super rugby team in NZ is full of all blacks but in SA the standout best team has players that don't get to start for the Springboks. Instead the Springbok team is full of players that managed a draw against the Sunwolves. leeubok 1
