If this is the game they want to play, we might need to use Adi's skills. Will be lots of work for everyone concerned, but we need to make use of the ball we have. Ya, but lets see these big lumbering fools keep up with Adi’s footwork.

If this is the game they want to play, we might need to use Adi’s skills.

Will be lots of work for everyone concerned, but we need to make use of the ball we have.

A chip kick or a grubber through to make them turn (slowly) right at the beginnning of teh game will destroy their confidence on defence and make them hesitate. Keep varying the option taking, so that they never know what to expect. But whatever you do, do it properly and risk free.

Brings into question again PDV's coaching and selection skills. The French have two inexperienced centers, so I hope we target them. I expect we will.

He played superbly in autumn test last year and in Lions tests.,You should listen to British commentators ( likes of Stuart Barnes, Euan Evans, Wil Greenwood ) after the first Lions test - they were just delighted with Ruan. And this is not that he doesn't want to play there but he obviously doesn't trust Helium anymore and doesn't care to play well there.He just gave up . This is all coaches fault. You can't say a player that he is the number 1 in a position nad then drop him after a short term injury inspite of doing nothing wrong and let him know that he has no chance to regain the shirt ( if kicking at poles is the only measure of your ability as a flyhaf and it has been recently told by PDV!)In addition they threw him to Tigers to be eaten alive as it was obvious that the game would be a disaster for everybody involved. I suspect that poor Ruan just hates Helium now, especially after all these comments of Tiger Woods in one line with Earl Rose. I am sure he would like not to be on the tour at all . especially when there is no Fransie Steyn. With whom does Ruan share a room now? In this way the most talented player in SA ( according to Jake White!) is being waisted. I am sure that if Jake selected Ruan as his man he would stick to him and keep faith in him.

Done it before but not if he is going to be injured for most of the season with those knees. Have to start to look at the youngsters coming through the U21's. That is the future I think. Well always is. Otherwise look who is playing in the NH that want to come home before the wc 2011. #91 grant10: Heard and now this could be a rumour, that Butch might be back in Jan.
