Rugby Union.

Im just going to keep quiet as obviously I am watching a different game. At half time our coaching staff mention there were alot of positives to take out of it... HUH???

Other than faf and beast, I really am struggling to be upbeat about that win... just waiting to hear how happy and elated our coaches are :sick: cant wait for tri nations.. sorry rugby championship. Aus and nz to beat us by 30 and arg to beat us by 20 if we dont do something and something quick imo...

Jp petersen man of the match??? WTF??? I really dont know what game I was watching.

Pietersen shouldn't even be in the team....blown mostly cold since he went to Japan....good riddance once he leaves the Sharks and buggers off to Europe...Man Of The Match adjudicator must be pissed...

A series win is a win especially with a brand new coach and can only bring confidence within the group and give the fans hope. ABS have the rugby championship in their pockets before a scrum is made. Boks should start only selecting players who will be around for the next WC and then stick with them.

Before you read what I am about to write, please do not for one minute think that this is about the colour of the players. I do not care if our whole Springbok side is non white. I just want the best on the field at international level so we can become a proud sporting nation again and I think I speak for the vast majority of South Africans of every colour.Since politics and especially our esteemed minister( he does not deserve a capital letter) of sport has taken it on himself to involve himself with quotas etc, our sport has lost its gees/ pride by the players. Our cricket and rugby has gone backwards. There are players in both codes who should not be there and the guys that are playing with them haven't got the fire that our teams were renowned for. Look at AB, in the World cup he had to be forced to play in that last game that we lost when Philander was forced into the side( and that is 110% confirmed) with little proper preparation and form. That game and loss broke our cricket. Look at AB's form for the Protea's in comparison to the IPL. In rugby many of the guys are just going through the motions. They know that they are in a substandard team because of selections and are never going to be the real Springboks that teams used to fear. The best teams available at International level are the ONLY way.

Lets go back 30 years Craig. So many black guys and English speaking white guys should have played for the Boks but were prevented because of the politics. SA Rugby will get there but it will take 4/5 years. Be patient you will still live to see a great Bok side again.

So that is why I never made the Bok side! I speak English! :lol: I wondered why.

you missed the boat re Bok selection Craig but don not despair. I hear that the Sharks are seeking a new number 8. Get down to the Sharks training session in the morning and have your passport ready to travel to Gautang to face the Lions next week.

Craig, if you happen to make the team, please give me a shout, I have a few choice words I would like you to relay to the Lions flyhalf :woohoo:

Dont worry Karma there is an opening in that Sharks side for a full back as well. Go for it as the Sharks need soom class in their team. All you need now is Craig Pienaar to fill the vacant water boy spot :lol:
