Rugby...

['Dale]

HM is so conservative in his rugby thinking.

Juan was a giant in the CC final.

 

The French play was so exhilarating yesterday.

[BergForce]

A full backline of Aplons vs a backline with DeVilliers, with the same forward pack, would result in something like Aplon 125 DeVilliers 0.

15 Jean De Villiers vs 15 Aplon will result in something like Aplon 125 DeVilliers 0.

 

Only based on your perception.

Only based on your perception.

 

And it so happens to be that my perception is very much in tune with reality.

Is that so? Prove it.

You two funny...

[Wannabe]

Our coach must be shown the door...

 

As a side note, I cringed at how white the team was. Normally players of colour are there not on merit, but yesterday there was at least two players of color that were wrongfully left out of the team...

 

Agree with you there. HM is not the man for the job. Better players was left out of the team in favour of his favourites.

Where to find the truth?

Questions linger through time

Unbreakable will and inquiring mind

Have always been the seeker's guide

 

The Reason as my sword

The Knowledge as my shield

I'll face my foes again and again

On the ancient battlefield

 

I can't deny what I've seen

So towards the great unknown

I must keep going on

 

Stop your quest

Or with fire you'll be cleansed

Confess...

Death...

 

Woe to the faith

Through dark centuries

The wait for the time

When all is revealed

 

Unbreakable

Stands through time

Dwells the proof of life

Eternal Earth of mine

 

Cleanse our souls

No good thoughts shall burn

Engulf the passion of life

Eternal Fire of mine

 

Carry it on

The ancient wisdom of mankind

Eternal Air of mine

 

Renew us within

Wash away

The remains of lies

Eternal Water of mine

 

Indivisible

Beyond death and life

The answer divine

Eternal Elements of mine

 

The gatekeeper of the knowledge

The One who was trusted the secrets of time and space once said:

To know is your destination

To find is your possibility

And to search is your quest.

 

Your path has merged with the truth.

But yet you refuse to see it

It's easier to be afraid, to be deceived, to be a sheep

Be aware, question them, question yourself

Because once you see it, you can never look away

 

Every man's

Horizon can change

But eternal skies

Will always stay the same

 

Like a new sun arises from winter's cold and dark grave, it's unstoppable.

 

Keep your twisted beliefs

Sons and Daughters of Dawn are calling me

 

The fire that burns my flesh

Shall light up the words I've said

The curse on my innocent name

Shall put all of your in shame

 

Woe to the man

Who disheartens the few

Who reach for the light

Who searches for the truth

 

I only have just one more wish

That this torch will be passed onto someone sentient like you

When your time comes, don't lose your heart

Have faith and patience and trust in the flame before passing it onto someone new

Ok, you got me there... I can't find any lyrics that supposedly mean something, but prove nothing...

Question is:

 

What will team selection look like against a relatively weak Scotland.

 

Lambie will get another run after an average performance last night.

Juan should start.

Hmmm...

I agree. Krusty the clown should also be dropped from fullback.

I see the Irish played with GPS units in their rugby jerseys...... damn do theu get lost THAT easily?????

Habana needs one of those.

But, but, he's good under the high ball and kicks well out of hand.

 

*clears throat*

[flymango]

I wonder what public and political opinion would be if the same team was chosen by a coach of colour?

 

But I agree. Our backline lacks imagination and penetration. Jean I'm afraid has consistently underperformed in my opinion. And in Strauss we have a more than capable replacement captain.

 

My starting line up from the squad on tour would be as follows, with an eye on the future and bearing in mind injuries to key players:

 

15 Lambie

14 JP

13 De Jongh

12 Mapoe

11 Mvovo

10 Elton

9 Pienaar (v/c)

1 Beast

2 Strauss ©

3 Jannie

4 Etzebeth

5 Juandre

6 Louw

7 Alberts

8 Duane

What's in that Durban curry, nickc?

 

Springbok prop Tendai "Beast" Mtawarira has been withdrawn from the Test against Ireland due to heart palpitations.

 

From news24

 

Dale I don`t know about the Beast but I got heart palpitations in the first half - lucky the second went better.
