From time to time Keo over-medicates on that bone-throwing muti he takes and he suffers a massive mental cramp called “Wishful Thinking”.

Then people like me have to talk him down from his madness.

It’s a tough job but someone’s got to do it.

sorry theres only 1 black in there though.. but IMO the only other spot you could put a black in on ability is the other wing…

Hmmm.. I was wondering, in all the earlier postings where certain individuals seem to enjoy defending the aptly named “quota system” saying that it is -unfair- to have a team that is predominantly white in a predominantly black country, why is it that no one thinks its unfair that while there is no cap on the number of black players in the 1st 15, there is still a cap on the number of whites? Isn’t this quite racist as well? It seems like the whites are being made to pay the price for the sins of their forebears.

If the “blacks” are talented like paulse habana pietersen etc then i would pick them in a heartbeat. But wouldn’t it be better for SA rugby if say they had a team like this

1.Os
2. John Smit
3. CJ van de Linde
4. Bakkies Botha
5. Matfield
6. Schalk Burger
7. Juan Smith
8. Venter/Skinstad
9. du Preez/ Pienaar
10. Pretorius/steyn
11. Habana
12. de Villiers
13. Fourie
14. Steyn
15. Percy

Hmm seems to me that this would be useful in a tight game where you have at least 4 ppl with huge boots to play for territory. Steyns 60 m drop kicks would be better than whatever the Ndungane brothers could pull off

Well I thought keo’s jibe was quite funny.

We have tried every tactic under the sun and have come up short when it has mattered most. Until we get over the hump and actually win a second RWC, we deserve what is dished up to us.

Chokers, it is a harse and abrasive name tag. But if the cap fits?

good lord, it seems ok for the australasians to ham it up with us, but as soon as the boot is on the other foot, the tears start.

grow a sense of humour, do u honestly think we dont all know how munificent the kiwis are?

actually the responses probably say alot, sounds like worry to me, obviously alot of pressure to win this one.

The article is not mouthing off about facing the AB’s and beating them in the semis, it simply highlights that in a one off test of significance at the WC the boks have the potential to derail the AB’s, bearing the AB track record when they carry the favourites tag.

Meeting and Beating them in the final is a given.

Only way to face Nz in the semi’s is to lose to England in group stage and then beat beat Aus on 1/4 final.

By the way Munkibooi, Welcome to Godzone. Don’t worry, you’ll soon settle in. It took me about one day.

Tomsta and Munkibooi

If you guys are SURPRISED that you have encountered racism in New Zealand then you don’t know that much about human nature.

Many people, all over the world are racist or hold some form of racist attitude. In fact I’m sure that you and me and everyone reading this post are racist in some way and discriminate in some way, consciously or unconciously. Did you think that NZ somehow missed out on this human characteristic? I try not to be racist and so do most people.

South African politicians tried to institutionalise racism and make it normal. This was a foolish and disastrous thing, and look how SA is suffering the consequences now.

As for NZ, yes it has its share of racist people like all countries. However the UN notes that NZ has a high level of integration and racial tolerance. It doesn’t really matter what colour you are in NZ and that’s one of the things I love about it.

HAHAHAHAHA, this article was no doubt written BEFORE the second semi-final.

The performance by SA against Australia was a HORRIFIC CHOKE much worse then the Kiwis effort.

And SA has now choked VERY BADLY in the last THREE cricket world cups and the last TWO rugby world cups.

People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones!!

What a bunch of Clueless rugby folk we have here.

The only way that the All Blacks can lose to the Boks is if SA lose to England in the pools. – Is that the Great SA plan to win the WC?
