@NTA Saffer little blokes (7s) changed our franchises attacking skills. Stormers have Senatla Davids, Sharks Abrahams, Cheetahs Spekman, Bulls KL Arendse.
Arendse attended Klein Nederburg (from a disadvantage Paarl township) and played for Boland 7s before getting into the SA 7s squad and Jake White scout him for the Bulls. Moodie from Boland Landbou
Can they defend well against big power wingers?

You know what? Who cares when they can do the shit they already do
NZ fans are obsessed with perfect players
Oh yeah he scores two tries a test and regularly turns guys inside out but because he missed two tackles I want him fired
Especially out wide we've forgotten what wings are for. They are not loose forwards FFS.
Beat guys and create opportunities for points FFS

@Billy-Tell Yes, pass looked a shade forward.
Think both games have highlighted three things which will be crucial come WC time.
Discipline leadership/game management and the ability to execute in the last 10 mins. Simple really.......now if only Foster was paying attention... -

Jack van Poortvliet, what's his background. Dutch name, Dutch dad?
Slow as a wet week

Does anyone else think the pass to Le Roux was forward? Looked a bit Michalak-like.
Marginal for me. No complaints.

@SidBarret Thomas Tank come from the same TH Paarl Boys factory as Fat Frans. The next one, my good friend's son, Sebastiaan Lombaard, SA U20 plying his trade at Jake White's Bulls. Thanks Richard Visagie.
Any relation to Kobus?

@Rapido Nah he is talking about Cobus Visagie. No Cobus was a Paul Roser, Richard Visagie played TH for Boland in the good old days when Boland was still a force in CC rugby. Richard is a teacher , vice principal at Paarl Boys High and for years their 1st team coach.

It’s looking like the knives are being sharpened for Eddie. The RFU have announced a series of reviews into the current situation.
My thoughts? Invest in gin shares. This could run and run.

Given the rucks are an absolute lottery and possession is turned over far more frequently than the past either through penalties, TMO interventions or errors - being able to quickly adjust to set up for a droppy and then execute should be part of the plan.
Gone are the days of 12-15 phases, especially when some refs seem to be hunting for penalties.

Yes. Not having the ball seems to be the less risky option, which to me says that the current law interpretations are wrong.
