@ForeverSports if it goes wrong it's a massive F up. I'm nervous! Rassie is right more often than he is wrong so I can't wait to see how this team performs. The way I see it, Australia will be happy with this team, and that's a worry.
@@AesyrbaneAustralian rugby is in shambles I am not at all worried. We going to spank them again. Plus we saving our best players for the All Blacks particularly after they were humble by the pumas
English Afrikaans and Xhosa in one press conference.... And everyone is comfortable with that.. I am so inspired, no wonder our kids are dreaming of becoming Springboks from early age. Please Africans, let's protect this team, a symbol of hope and rainbow
The Springboks is a shining example of what we as South Africans can accomplish if we strive towards a common goal. This is Mandela's rainbow nation. If each and every South African is able to embrace different backgrounds and cultures like these guys do South Africa will be the greatest country in the world.
He is such an exciting player. I remain uncertain whether he can fill Willie's shoes. But such a talent deserves the chance to show us that he is capable of delivering on the big stage.
He is not the same kind of generational break out talent like SFM. But he is still damn exciting and deservant of a shot to prove himself. Willie will probably not play the next world cup and Willemse cannot be our only fullback.
South Afrca doesn't have B teams, we have a Springbok team for the weekend. Any of these players can make a break and score a try. Very dangerous rassie team. Rassie wasn't joking when he said the Portugal Springboks team could go hit for hit against the Ireland Springboks team. The problem is who do you choose after this team wins Australia 50-0.
The springboks have an incredible squad depth in every position. What a treasure to have for South Africans, and what a good problem to have for Rassie.😂
Good to give the B team a run against a minnow 😂…just joking. Will be good to see some of the other guys get a start hopefully we not underestimating Aussies comeback performance.
10 changes initially worried me, but we have so much talent and developing this depth is essential to building a team that can win week in and week out. Seeing how confident Rassie is in the squad you can really see he is building on systems where players can slot in and out like for like very excited for the game this weekend def have the depth to put the Aussies under the same pressure and a back line that could run them ragged with the forwards giving dominant ball. Let’s go Bokke❤
Makes sense - You don't win a battle and loose the war - NZ is in the future. Modern Rugby is a marathon. Not a sprint. It will be good for SA to give players a rest. More players Experience. The game will be more competitive, and I guess that is a good thing.
Esterhuisen is a massive lift for the Boks, him and Moodie were clicking, be good to have him and Pollard with a fast 9. So many 9s it's unbelievable. Wilco Louw still considered surplus amazes me..But he has gone with youngsters to blood them in. Fassi has great potential if they work on his defense, he is one dangerous player going forward. Am proved he can play at 12/13 vs Portugal. Classy classy player. I am a big fan so a clever move. It shows versatility in the middle. Morne van den Berg (scrumhalf) and Ruan Nortje (lock) will be key we are a fit lock short. And not all the established locks are not all going to make the rwc. Rotation will allow them to be strong contenders in this comp, the Argies seem like the biggest challenge right now. NZ are 6 months to a year adapting to the Razor and they will adapt and be a force again. I would have gone with Pollard because its going to bucket down on the week end and the going will be heavy under foot.. I suspect a tacticle grind it out. Kick and kick some more play for territory wont be pretty on Sat. Might have to win ugle in the rain...
I agree with you that Fassi's defence remains a question mark and that it will be great to see the cannon (Moodie) return. Rassie mentioned that he wants three players in every position so our outside center options are probably Jessie, Am, and the cannon.
I love this team. The hunger within the players for game time and competition between individuals for the chance of cementing position certainly makes for probable brilliance. The talent being fielded is massive. Power in the engine room and fast runners with the best steps in world rugby. Some players being fielded we as Bok supporters can’t wait to see play and now there are plenty in one team. Their support of each other will bring a bigger win and will prove their worth. Personally I’m very excited. Boks by 35. ☮️💜
Boks are becoming the worlds most exiting rugby team, most people say they cant wait for a Bok game to see what Dr Rassie and boks will bring to the table. WR is having a headache to keep up changing rules to tone Boks down.
Is Rassie aware of Saturday's weather forecast of heavy rain with the chance of thunderstorm? One thing, when it is raining in Perth, it comes down in buckets.
Lots of over confidence in this comments section 😂 sure Aus are looking woeful but if we are complacent and don’t perform best believe they could put in a performance and turn us over
They might not be under pressure to win this game, but if they don't they will be under pressure to win both the AB games. Why would you take that risk?
Its a gamble we can get another 5 points but Aussies may think with this changes that they have a outside chance here. Maybe Rassie and the Boks know what they don't know!!!Go Bokke we behind you all the way. World Cups more important than this challenge for me.
why are people saying its a controversial team........................................................ We have the best squad depth so why can't we swap around. Never Question what's in Rassie's Head. "Hulle Weet nie Wat Ons Weet Nie"
Over confidence can be a big factor. As New Zealand will be ready . So rather the boks take a humble aproach. In terms of language south Africa has many languages not represented . So why not stick to international language. Just thoughts in Passing. Good luck fir the Boks . Strong team but. Surprises happen. . Best for Boks this weekend. 🏉🏉🏉
Bliksm . How many times must rassie say they same thing. 33 players. All will get a chance. No team goes in thinking the will lose. Dumb questions. How about how they got that skill flair sorted out. All the other coaches had distribution problems. Why.....because players were not allowed to be themselves in a system. Tony brown is brilliant with this as well
We have players that can do better than Polly in that position. He must fight for his no10 . We can not do a favour for him now he is defeated by Sacha now you want a coach to remove someone so that he can be in . Never 😢😢
@@barbarawright7983 Oh, thanx for the reply, it's just that if someone sitting in full view of the public and doesn't hv something like Parkinson's and has the jitters like that, they tend to come across hving low IQ... perhaps a bit like urself possibly 😁
Disgrace... A new tight 5...all Joe needs to get his boys fired up.... Absolute disrespect!!!! Its a intn match away from home.... Ras to clever... Mark my words....
What a slap in the face of PSTD making Moerat captain over him. PSTD is our best player and puts his body on the line for the boks. Moerat has done nothing and will never do anything for the boks.
I think if Rassie wants him to captain that’s good enough for me. He sees it as a leadership group and not just who the individual is. Don’t worry about who the actual captain is seems to be what rassie is saying
@@Spinn2winn lol I saw that and thought of you. I think thats a push since he HIA'ed himself. Boks did well though Go Bokke Also Eben seemed to take over as captain after this
THEY GONNA LOOSE. Its part of the bok makeup. Win one loose one. The way the main team played last week, lol. THEY ARE definetly loosing this weekend. DONT THINK ILL BE WATCHING THIS ONE THANKYOU.
