Maybe someone can shed some light on this ‘couch coach’ comments of mine:
Why is HM playing our most in form fullback at outside center, while our most in form outside center is out in the cold (Jesse Kriel – Lionel Mapoe); but bring in a fresh out of rehab centre (JDV) into the bench – he should be playing in the Currie Cup to regain some fitness and get game time in my view. This cannot benefit young Jesse, as history will tell us. History will also tell us that this is not to JDV’s benefit either.
Why Mahoje, when Jaco Kriel should clearly be there? Before anyone shouts ‘quota’ – bear in mind that there would still be the same number of black players should a more deserving Mapoe being picked instead of Mahoje. This speaks to a certain conspiracy theory held among black circles. Story for another day.
But of BIGGEST concern for me is the captaincy. This is NOT an official test, so this would be the most opportune time to blood a younger leader for the Bok captaincy. Who better than Warren Whitely to do so? Sure, Duane will walk in to the starting position once fit, but that’s not the point.
If I am farting, could someone speak some sense to me.
As an aside – the 2 episodes of Jean De Villiers’ journey back to fitness are on YouTube – both 25 min long and a good and relevant watch (especially for a son recovering from a knee reconstruction and feeling bad about missing the rest of the season.

@akw: Exactly. Dit was my punt. Iemand hier, het nog genoem dat dit nie n gewilde skuif was nie- aan weerskante.
@BoishaaiPa: Dit is waar, maar dit was steeds nie GCB se toedoen nie…
@BOG: Nee jong..Sy vertrek soontoe was op versoek van OVS rugby omdat hulle hom toe al n 0/19 kontrak aangebied het. Waar sal n Gr 11 seun uit sy eie besluit om in sy finale jaar sy skool te verlaat?…Praat met sy afrigters dan sal jy die waarheid hoor. Ek het!
@BOG: @Losbal: ek dink hy’s geboelie by Boishaai (soos hy vandag nogsteeds in die skrums geboelie word), dis hoekom hy GCB eien.
@Losbal: @Losbal: Ek dink jy moet weer gaan lees wat ek gese het, en hierdie keer, probeer fokus.Sover ek weet, was sy vertrek soontoe, 100% sy versoek.GCB claim hom dus nie- sover ek weet, di hoe hy homself sien. Wat ouers se oorplasing na Bloem betref, sal ek dit slegs doen, as dit so is, soos met Serfontein. Ek verneem terloops, hulle is nog steeds daar, as jy sou belangstel om te weet.
@BOG:het ook nou al met die tyd geleer om julle nie te ernstig op te neem nie….finishing touches he-he my gat
Claim hom maar vir GCB. Ons weet waar hy vandaan kom, hoeveel insette in sy loopbaan gemaak is oor 4-5 jaar, hoeveel hy ontwikkel het, ens, ens.
Ten minste het jy ons die keer nie probeer wys maak dat sy ouers Bloem toe verplaas is nie.
@Losbal: Ek dink nie dit is iets waarop GCB aangedring het nie- terloops. Ek dink dit was maar aan hom oorgelaat. En “after all”, di waar hy sy “finishing touches” gekry het. En blykbaar, was hy in sy matriekjaar, reeds O 19 gewees.
@Losbal: die man was mos in matriek in GCB, nie waar nie…
Marcel vd Merwe, Grey? Cheap shot.
@Andre T: Nee dankie. Ek hoor julle betaal salarrisse wat John Berks destyds sou laat glimlag het, maar ek hou maar n lae profiel. Maar miskien moet julle kyk na n manier hoe luisteraars met julle dmv boodskappe, soos hierdie, kan skakel, terwyl julle uitsaai Interaksie bewerkstellig. Dan weet julle ook sommer ook wie luister. Op so n manier, sal ek sekerlik saam stront praat
@BOG: Wil jy op die program wees? Ek dink ons 2 kan n weeklikse strontpraat sessie hou met so bietjie politiek tussen in…….e mail my……speartackle@ruggas.co.za
@Andre T: So, jy is nou n moroon, of n mormoon. Is dit nou vir die uitsluitlike voordeel van veelwywery of ander motiewe? En dan saai jy nog boonop sommer skolerugby uit van daar? Besonders. Ek steun mos gladnie M24 nie en gevolglik het ek nie DSTV nie. So ek luister nogal na julle uisaaiery. Is daar interaksie tussen die luisteraars en julle? Nou nie verbaal nie, maar soos ons hier doen?
@BOG: Ek bly mos nou in Salt Lake City…….sukkel nog met die tydsones
@Andre T: Sjoe, wat gebruik jy, meneer? Salusa 65? Nog wakker @10 uur die aand- eks beindruk.
Ek hoor die Bester broers wil n comeback maak
Elton was in KHS ook
Grey College impressive!
@Rugger fan: haha, for sure, oom doesn’t cut it anymore!
And Oupa has relinquished his nickname to Victor???
@GreenBlooded: Not sure why you are so surprised about Elton…he’s picked up his game considerably and is a far better fly than Morne Steyn.
@Kattes-Strofes: Ek skud net my kop. So ook met Julian Redelinghuys…te veel vrae wat my tot slapelose nagte dryf
@Die Ken: Waar is Jaco Kriel. Beste flank die seisoen.
@GreenBlooded: a.k.a Nik Naks
@Gungets Tuft:
A.k.a Side Show Bob
@GreenBlooded: Zane Kirchner …..
Jannie du Plessis…..
Elton Jantjies…….
Side Show Bob…….
Morne Steyn…….
Going to be a great World Cup.
Far too many Grey College. Happens every year. I think there is something untoward going on between the school and the selectors. How can one school continuously dominate the selections like this?
