Boks VS England

The mindset of the SA coach baffles me. Why change a winning team? 4 changes to be exact. Le Roux drops to the bench :woohoo: why? he has been instrumental in all attacks and for heavens sake Jantjies at fly half. The initiative has just been handed to England.

Trying to up his percentage of colour starters now so has a bit of leeway later when needed?As I saw Jantjies as a starter I lost a lot of interest in the game.

You never have anything good to say about people of colour

I don't think it is off colour If you cant see Jantjies is not up to scratch the only thing he can do is kick to posts the rest of his game is KAK
I believe you play the best player in that position no matter the colour.

- much better midfield combination
- Jantjies is a problem and the recall of Chiliboy is seriously questionable
- Schalk Brits is a good player but it would probably have been better to play a younger player in
a dead rubber

can't see the English beating the boks . They have been terrible although now that they are at sea level and it may make a difference to their poor second half performances in the first two tests

any person who knows a little of the game could see that Jantjies is out of his depth at international level . He adds nothing other than goal kicking . We have seriously got to get over ourselves with regards to the politics in rugby .

A strange post there mydada. Jantjies is just not good enough. If the Beast was dropped for Louw I am sure Craig would say something to the effect that the coach is mad. Best player for the position. If the entire team were black or white who gives a fuck so long as they perform well and hopefully win more than they lose.

Guys, unfortunately in this country we have a small minority of people who will twist anything said into a racist comment.

Jantjies is great behind a dominant pack and quick ball from the scrum half. However is useless when going backwards. He is not good enough to play at this level and would rather see Du Preez given a chance. We do have some fantastic players of colour in the side and they are not there as "quota players" but on merit.

Mydada is the one poster on this site that I completely overlook his posts. He always shows his true COLORS.

Jaanjties biggest problem in my opinion is that he stands to far back and does not attack the advantage line, with the result that the backline gets no "go forward "ball .Elton is great in open ,unstructured play once the game opens up, but in tests matches this seldom happens as the opposing team's defensive structure remains in place for 90 % of the game. Lets see if Rassie can get him to attack the advantage line on a regular basis.

Rassie has gone on record saying that there are only a certain amount of games left before the WC 2019,therefore he will be trying out numerous combinations before then.Im glad that his kept most of the pack entact for tommorrow.IMO this is England's best chance with the game being played at sea level and a heavy field.

Imo Jantjies not good enough at international level - but du Preez would be even worse.

Chilly Boy - I mean really - probably will have to eat my words as I had to do regarding Mbonambi (imo will be 2nd hooker after Marx come the WC) - but I think the line-outs will suffer as I don't believe Chilly Boy is accurate enough with throwing (but neither is Acker, come to think of it) - so maybe the hot one is worth another chance

I think England may upset the 'Boks at Newlands - especially if our line-outs don't cut it - and then a lot will depend on Jantjies - he could be brilliant, or very poor - also have to wonder why the Sharks centers have not been given the opportunity to play together

And I have to agree with Chicken that de Allende was impresssive in the games to date

de Allende. yes good runner but never passes the ball maybe put him on the wing
