Wales v Springboks

@Dodge said in Springboks vs Wales:

It kills me that Esterhuizen would walk into any other team in the world and only gets to carry the water for SA. They made him watch the England warm up last week. Being a Quins fan, having André the giant outside Smith was Quins greatest strength

Tough when the guy ahead of you is de Allende!

But yes - I am a big Esterhuizen fan.
I never stress when I see him on the team sheet. The guy will deliver.

Gatlands last stand?

It will be another 50 pointer.

@Dodge sure, AE is one of my favourite players. Then we have the part timers like Willemse and SMZ.

[OomPB]

@Billy-Webb Kleyn & Mostert will also play.

@OomPB

Lots of guys for Rassie to pick from.
I hope he blends experience with the need to give guys a run.

[OomPB]

I'd be pretty happy with that team Oom.
A little surprised about the inclusion of Ox - I assume the stitches will hold....

Hendrikse brothers paired at halfback for Wales finale

Jaden and Jordan Hendrikse – the 36th set of Springbok brothers – have been paired at halfback for the season’s final Test against Wales in the last match of the Castle Lager Outgoing Tour at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday.

[W32]

That’s a big FU to wales giving, hanekom his debut against them.

[OomPB]

Much stronger team then mine. The bench is unbelievable.

My thoughts, excellent for steadying the ship if required. But imagine of there is no need for steadying things and you have a good lead and the the Welsh guys see that lot coming on... Sheesh!

Left two tickets for Wales vs South Africa on the front seat of my car last night, some bastard only smashed the window and left another two…

[W32]

52 players have played for the boks this season. Rassie is definitely not resting on his laurels

[OomPB]

The planned IPL rugby competition starting in 2026 , we will lose 30 of the top Springbok players. He need to plan ahead.

Well you can count out the English forwards, they wouldn't be able to muster that sort of impact.

It is about the coaching now

Costelow at 10. I have visions of @MiketheSnow sitting in a darkened room with a bottle of port and a loaded revolver.
