CAB – I applaud your optimism but i think the Boks won’t beat the Frogs this Friday. We have seen the second stringers in action and thus far they haven’t shone. When the Boks are unsettled from their usual 22 they always never play well. However i still think it is good to get the fringe players involved now, sooner rather than later.

I hope Adi gets replaced ASAP with Olivier then we may have a chance. Also the fullback doesn’t promote confidence at all, i would prefer Jantjies there and he is not very good either.

The Frenchie backline is big and fast, i just can’t see this Bok backline being able to keep up.

#637 Sharksgirl: ah yes, its a fine spot. And I might say that the gelati there are buonissimo. But not as good as the almond-milk granita in Sicily = perfecto !

#432 Staal: Ja you’re right. It was actually the game where the Bulls had to beat the Stormers by some big margin – 32 points I think? – it Newlands in order to make the Super 14 play-offs. And they did it by 33 points.

I think Adi will do just fine. He is not quite in JdV’s league but I think most of the worries over his defence are unfounded. If the Boks get good quick turnover ball he could be just the man with his eye for the gap. I agree he should be ahead of WO at this stage as WO has been consistent but seems to lack that X factor that an international centre should have. The real battle will be up front. Whoever dominates there will take it. My biggest concern in the forwards bench. If PdV keeps JS on for the whole game, moving him to hooker later on, as he seems to enjoy, will Strauss be a wasted sub?

#632 SodaJoe:
Adi will do the Adi: fake tackles,
I’ll be surprised if the Frogs will not target him, Kirshner and the damn slow Pietersen with a behind the back kicks
The bench is great, question is how far the Boks’ starting XV will get behind before the bench takes over?

#605 skopskiet:
Skops.
WO 0/24
F Styen: 5/36
But that might not be fair toward Fran, he mostly played at FB or wing, not at centre
Gerber is phenomenal, because his test flyhalf was not renown for passing the ball, but Jaques Fourie comes the nearest in recent decades to Gerber.

#397 carol: Hi Carol have never been to Corsica or Sicily, its on my list of places to go to, we are hoping to go in June next year. We whant to go via UK - being dying to see England Ireland and Scotland, but when we came the last time, all we saw was Heathrow a short tour of London and Harrods, before we noticed my sister had chicken pox and we had to flee before we got quarantined in London paying with pounds which we couldn't afford. Never forgiven her to this day!

#618 skopskiet: I dunno. 3N & B&IL seems enough success in one year? But if Adi plays badly or outclassed that will be used against PdV.

#603 cab: Cab I don't think that we will win this one. Just don't. Bench is good, but Adi is going to have a helluva time handling a 105 kg angry kid with a point to prove. Then our bench looks light. Although Ryan could play wing with ease and Bekker plays in the backline a lot too.
