@star: I’m not really, I may be related to Spear…
@ McCulleys- I can’t believe you are still with us
@star: I went to the drive in Randfontein once….
@McCulleys-Don’t you know I am the king of Westville and Carletonville is part of my fiefdom . It is just that the Wes Rand boytjies need to understand how to pay due homage.
Dawie said it was 6 of his 7 starting backline..that was on TV. I think he talks before he thinks and changes his mind on a whim. He is lucky to have the quality players available else his total lack of coaching ability and player management will really come to the fore. In my opinion he is the worse possible coach for our youngsters. They should have kept Brendan Venter or appointed someone who have experience in coaching youngsters.
@vatikaki: Dawie’s rule should be. You’re in the final team when you’re on the plane. Before that it seems like chopping and changing is the order of the day. And last minute call ups as well.
What do you guys think about Dawie saying this is his strongest possible line-up? (excluding Thomas du Toit & Handre Pollard).
Is he saying Pierre Schoeman, Wilco Louw, Aidon Davis & Sergeal Petersen aren’t going to be starting? Or are some (or all) of them injured?
@Speartackle: Is Carltonville Westvilles sister village?
Go JP Smith you deserve this.
61-14 win.
This is one hell of a team – poor Argentina!
@Spear-what about pay per view at the Obies hotel.
@star: Yes but it will be delayed live coverage on BSpearB in the greater West Rand area excl Carletonville
Will this be televised. More than a quarter of the boys are originally from the Last Outpost. Well done .
