#13 klippies101: Botes was on fire a few years ago. But lately he's looked decidedly ordinary.

They haven’t been practicing their scrumming????
The area of the game where they were utterly destroyed?
Is this a joke?
Where is CJ?
Heinke, Maku, CJ – come on!
Is this article suggesting that CJ was drafted into the Bok mix and he isn’t fit???

Hmmm… jokes aside, most of those ‘SA player’ at Saracens left the country because they were overlooked by the selectors. This will be a true grudge match.

#7 Bouts:

Nah…….it won’t happen again Bouts. Saracens are “SA Laden”.

They will roll over and let the Boks tickle their tummies.

(before anyone from Saracens gets offended……that was not a serious post).

Yeah. It could happen again. But they are there to develop as international players, so the results are really minor.

The question is… will the All Blacks be able to win anyone without Carter?

This particular lesson should’a been learned from the 3rd B&I Lions test….there’s an old afrikaans saying that is quite fitting “As jy dom is moet jy K@K”

I take it a “South African-laden Saracens” will be close to a full strength Side.

Could be interesting……..Nah ….surely not. It couldn’t happen again………………..or

2nd string Leicester are barely an international level, its not surprising that a European “super rugby” team equivalent beat a South Africa vodacom cup side with one or two world class imports. Rugby is after all a team game

Based on teh performance of Heinke, I am not so sure he is “fit”.

The worst part about the Bok play was teh lack of varioation – ppure boring old-Bulls style rugby. When you crash it up every time, it just becomes easy to defend against. You have to create doubt in teh mind of teh defenders as to whether they should move in to gang tackle, or move out for the wide surge.

The one time the y did swing wide was when they made ground. They seem firm in the belief that they could over come a tough club team on pure power. The advent of professionalism means that pure power is no good enough any more. Strategy and playmaking ability is what it takes, and superior team work.

Clearly there were just not enough big boys there who were willing to put their hands up and make the hard yards – but it didnt help that they were so predictable.
