Start with Pollard, and if he is not convincing replace him with Libbok 🤷♂️
I guess
I have a feeling the boks didnt want Ireland to have too much to analyze on our maul. They are saving some tricks for the final. Its the only reason I can think of as to why they opted for the 3 pointers as opposed to the maul.
Irish fans do t just leave the stadium many love to stay behind and clap for the teams to sing sometimes and every fan in the stadium paid a lot of money to be there. They always give their all for the Irish jersey so the fans honor them by staying and supporting them win or lose.
3 things to do with Manie,
1) – If he plays 10, bing in a 15/11/14 that can kick – do we have one? No
2) – play Manie at 15 and have a reliable kicker at 10. Currently the 1st receiver switches around, so this can work and his other kicking if assumed useful can be used.
3) – After the RWC, send Manie back to his club and tell him to work on his kicking and bring in the next SA kicker. If he cannot resolve the issue by 15 matches, ciao.
Ok, I'm going to say it – call Morne Steyn and get him in from the QFs as the 1 on the 7-1 split…
The oke has one trophy he hasn't won – he'll do it! C'mon Rassie, call Morne
At least Manie's goal kicking can only improve!
The difficult rugby decisions required to cure the Bok's rugby ills in Paris are similar to what their country need to solve what is happening in South Africa's political situation. If the Boks do end up winning the 2023 RWCup that can motivate the ANC to do what is required to turn their country around.
Manie moenie pale skop nie! Hy het dan die beste forwards vir die 5 punte try?
You got smashed by the Paddy's and you were threating to bring physically what a joke you are you got physically abused 🇮🇪🤣👍
Y choose,,u can play both,, with Mani starting at 10,,,,Pollard at 12,, Esterhuizen at 13
South Africa are only good when other teams are bad if you know what I mean 😂
amazing show
lol my knee also does that
I Miss Mr S. Burger now😫
haven't been for a run for a while!🤣🤣…How can ou be depressed..dont you read?…
Good point Shims about France only playing at home!
Tremendous to lose the match???
Everybody knows who took the bribe to exclude Pollard from the game.
Surely you'll accept the bigger bribe before the finals. Money talks!!!!
Manie must kick with his left foot for goal.
Hey Boks Office gurus, your views always welcomed. Why do we not yet know who our 1st team is, why are we still experimenting one match out from knockouts. Why is our 1st team not playing and building together. Why did Rassie allow a situation of part time hooker and part time goal kicker. None of the other 3 real contenders are doing this. All good while we winning, but wondering response if we knocked out.
Love the banter guys.
Please pronounce Jean de Villiers the French way, at least for now🐓
Manie 1st half and pollard 2nd to seal the points in the knock out that's how I would do it
I really feel that Pollard should be part of the bomb squad: they deliver him penalties.
I love this 🎉❤🎉❤😂
