Great two youngsters coming through,but the URC , Superrugby,premiership not Test rugby.Test rugby total different beast .Sa teams currently not even playing against the Celtic test players.Roos and Louw time will come.I remember Pierre spies ran all over everyone in his first time in Superrugby. Then he made his debut in the Mandela cup and Spies was found wanting.Roos and Louw can become world beaters in 2 to 3 years time
Boks do play running rugby when the opportunity presents itself. It all depends on the opposing teams defence structure. Just have a look at boks v Canada RWC 2019 for example. Cardiff were poor in all departments.
I think SA does but the reason you don't see it that much is because they follow they prefer taking points when they get a penalty and when they are chasing a try they will usually maul first (Which ends up either being a pushover or simple backline try). But saying that, I think we all want to see less senseless box kicking and more attacking the space like the local franchises are doing.
@@theultimatesharpshooter6734 I totally hear that. There are many ways to win, but if Erasmus and co had THIS in their back pocket to call upon as plan B or facing a tough defensive team, SA would be unstoppable. It’s what they did to us so effectively in the WC final pummelled the forwards then cut loose.
Willie has his good points in attack, but he's not reliable or consistent. Hopefully Jacques will give Warrick a chance. Masterstroke: play Kolbe at 15
Fassi is seen as a finisher in the bok set up. Gelant is the like for like replacement for Le Roux who imo is just taking away game time from guys like Gelant.
Doing it to the Irish teams will be the cherry on top, even if they're weakened rn, it'll be a big flex and they can't say "awh it was against weak Welsh and Italian teams"
Hopefully - we need an option at 8 once Vermuelen retires. Big shoes to fill, I think he's been the best 8 we've had in my lifetime and Wiese showed during the Lions tour that while a solid player he isn't close to Vermuelen's class.
@@Narapoia1 Yes of course Wiese isnt like Vermeulen..Duane didnt become Thor overnight...He has years and years of experience and it doesnt matter how much you train only time can give you that..
@@sakabula1285 Fair enough - when Duane first landed on the scene I thought he was good - but not an all time great which is how I view him now. Wiese I would say is ok, rather than good - so maybe he has potential but is far more hot headed than Duane was in his early days. We will see though - I hope I'm wrong as I think we will miss Duane massively when he retires.
@@Narapoia1 O yes for sure..Duane is a Bok legend..Wiese must just calm down which I think might happen with age.. I remember when Duane just started and he was this tall skinny kid with wild hair.But yes going to be hard to replace him..
@@menzimngadi6793 tough one, both? 😂 I'm a Stormers supporter so I hope for Roos, but Louw is also an absolute beast. So hopefully both will have the chance on Springbok level!
@Brian do you honestly see france winning the world cup and please don't tell me about Ireland Wales and least of all England...Who according to you in the north is about to take over because it has to be a takeover won't you say ...because we all know that 6 nations and a lions scrap victory here or there is about all you blokes have had in ions to attempt to celebrate🤷🏽♂️
We don't have springbok players in our teams, remember they all play in Europe and Japan... Also I dont know how much a 37 point gap would reduce if Cardiff got their Welsh internationals back... Who are the Welsh internationals players for Cardiff at the moment?
The following players are serious contenders for Bok selection in place of certain aging, inconsistant and injury prone Boks; Evan Roos/Elrich Louw/Ruan Ackerman/Pepsi Buthalezi for the aging and slower Duane Vermeulen Vincent Tshituka/Elrich Louw/C Wiese/JL Du Preez / Jaques Vermeulen for PS Du Toit if injured Ruben Schoeman/Ruben Van Heerden/ Dan Du Preez /Jason Jenkins for the injured RG Snyman Johan Grobler/ M Dweba as the third hooker Grant Williams/Jaden Hendrikse/Morne vd Berg as third scrumhalf in place of the not very impressive Jantjies Mannie Libbok/Jordan Hendrikse in place of Elton Jantjies as second best flyhalf or even in place of Handre Pollard should his form continue to dip Their must be a place found for M Tambwe and/ or Edwil vd Merwe in the squad should Tambwe qualify Their must be a place found in the Bok Squad for Ruan Janse Van Rensburg and/or M Simelane Warrick Gellant/A Fassi in place of the aging and slower Willie Le Roux Where is Frans Malherbe, is he still seriously injured, if so Thomas Du Toit must take his place? The following players are also knocking on the Bok Door; S Senatla, L Zas, Ruan Nel, Grant Esterhuizen, Q Horn (he is a brilliant new find), Morne Smith, Einrich Nortje, Neethling Fourche, Emmanuel Tshituka and others. The Boks should change their style of play and strategy this year and in the RWC 2023 and play a more open game. No one will be able to match them, not even the French for pace, talent and flair. But will they continue with their current I feel limited and dour attempt at tight five forward dominance and kicking game which I feel give away too much possession and results in a lot of defending and penalties against teams such as the All Black's/Aussies and the French.
No - test rugby is never played as open free flowing games unless you want to lose. In other competitions, if you lose a game, you can win the next. in test rugby the pressure is on to win every game. The game we have right now in the Boks is a no error, high pressure on the other side, no opportunity for the ref to influence the game, with little space for mistakes to cost us big. That is how it has always been payed and how it should be played. When you play against the best of another country, you respect that and thinking that basketball rugby is going to work against top players in the world is naïve.
Anyway the Stormers starting 15 doesn't have more than 3 starting Springboks. Most of the Springboks in the Stormers side are mostly benched when it comes to the national team. The win was on equal footing.
South African teams has silent all there critics especially Sam Warburton that said that SA will not be beneficial to the URC...Where is this welshman now he is silent.For all the other guys that spoke nonsense of our teams don't be so sure about your teams we still have along way to go in the URC.... We are waiting for the Irish teams to come and feel the physicality of SA teams at home you better not talk alot....
"long way to go" you mean 5 games? "We are waiting for the Irish teams to come and feel the physicality of SA teams at home you better not talk alot...." Oh dear, more evidence why SA fans are considered ignorant, arrogant and toxic
@@vipiccb6896 So they said.....Complainers will always complain wake up NH.The URC is the only competition where NH teams can dominate....SH teams dominate world rugby for the past years
@@kb8796 you mean NZ has dominated South hemisphere! Not you! Also, you make no sense, of course NH dominated the Pro12, Pro14 and now this URC because only NH teams were those leagues you fool
@@vipiccb6896 Please go check rugby history all these years SH teams dominate South Africa is the world number 1 team since 2019 and before New Zealand and 3 has been Australia (don't know what is happening to them now) SH has won the most world cups compare to the 1 that England won 2007 where the boks beat them in France and again in Japan so history speaks for itself...Now the NH thinks France will win 2023 world cup counting chickens before they hatch how stupid is that
