RWC Final: All Blacks v Springboks
-
there isn't anything much more overrated in the world of rugby now than the "bomb squad"
Essentially a couple of props, one who is as wide as he is tall, that get to play 35 minutes. And a good lock. They are good at scrums and fuck all else. If Barnes is on to the saffers trying to play NFL, they'll be blowing their ring pieces out after 10 minutes, and then they have to tackle Sami T and young Williams. Good fucking luck. And in case no one noticed, we have a fairly decent lock on the bench as well.
Against us those forwards are going to have to do more than push in scrums and mill around the halfway mark watching kicks go both ways over their heads. Their starting props have been under pressure all tournament. Their veteran #8 is starting to look old in the legs. They've brought back headless Faf to start.
We'll be out of sight before the bench even comes on.

oh, and we are going to rape and pillage their lineout.

I'm more concerned about what to do about Rassie and that light. How on earth do we counter that piece of genius????
Actually, why does he need that effing light when he has half the population of Johannesburg running onto the pitch for most of the game?
-
@mariner4life plus they aint even the original bomb squad...

Give all the people sitting closest to Rassie similar lights and let them use those lights all the time to confuse the shit out of the players and the medics/waterboys.

Ah Christy Doran. A guy who writes so earnestly about rugby, but with so little insight in to anything. Did the ARU tell him to write that?
If i was chefreactions ".75 out of 10. I'll probably read it"

Really? Nah we won’t be out of sight after 20 minutes, unless you mean when their original starters come back on in the second half

@mariner4life beat me to it. Frankly, I’ve no idea why we’re even playing this game.
So long as you reverse the boks’ recent ascendancy at scrums, mauls, rucks, tactical kicking and defence you’ll pound us into dust. Can’t see how having our World Cup winning flyhalf back in the side improves things for us either.
The boks are fucked. Tell @Rancid-Schnitzel he can stop inventing
excusesexcuse me, facts. -

@mariner4life the Afrikaans term is transliterated: loser. But it’s not one that’s ever been applied to the boks in World Cup finals.
Edit: geez this game is never going to come.

excusesexcuse me, facts.Dude I'm not making excuses, just stating inconvenient facts (well inconvenient for you). If we lose we lose because we're not good enough. That in no way takes away from the fact that Rassie is a cheating gimp.
But don't be aggrieved. Our coach is fat
