ANGLO BOER WAR:By SCRUMHALF AM
Six weeks on and we are here the final of RWC 2007. I doubt many would have predicted the two finalists six weeks ago, but so be it they are there on merit. I think the 36-0 loss by England needs to be forgotten, they will be a different team. Its a final and they will be up for it. In the week they have talked up SA as they want to go in as the underdogs. But they know they have a good chance at winning it.
England have lost Josh Lewsey, but for that they are at full strength. They will play the same game keep it tight up front and use wilko to collect points. They don’t have a lot of talent in the backs apart from Robinson and Sackey who has gas. They scrum has been talked about a lot and they will be force in the scrums. In essence they will be preying on the boks mistakes. If England win it will be by very few points.
SA have to make sure they don’t give away penalties in there own half. They need to spread it out wide as England’s defense in the backs is shaky. If we get parity in the scrums we have the talent to beat them easily. Sad to see Bob not in the side, as seth will testify the guy has class, but great to see wikus get a spot on the bench. To my lads who were regulars at cats and lions super 14 games they will know how much we appreciate wikus our captain. The boks are favorites and rightly so, as they are unbeaten. They have a more balanced team. The boks should do it.
Our blood is green and we behind the boks but questions have to be asked about transformation. In 1995 we had 1 guy of colour in Chester and now 12 years on we have 2! Has there been sufficient change? I doubt it? Yeh there are guys in the squad, but only 2 in the team! Not on! Lets hope after the cup win or loose that rugby gets truly integrated into sa.
On a final note whatever happens tomorrow we will be saying goodbye to a legend in Piter “OS” Du Randt!
OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN!
ReplyDeleteWIKUS U BISCUIT!
You okes and your transformation crap.
ReplyDeleteEvery player in every position deserves to be there, no matter the race, colour or creed. Purely on merit, there are no better non-white players this country to take the field.
Do we send teams to win, or to shoe the population make up SA. It's the same reason there are no reason in Bafana-Bafana. They are just not good enough.
SA are fucken racist bustards and england are gona whip them

I would've loved to have seen Bob wear the green and gold for the last time at the final. But Wikus will do us Cats/Lions proud coz that's where he learnt his rugby just like Habana!
