At a very quick glance and without much scrutiny, Odwa Ndungane could well have been replaced by Mvovo and Ruan Pienaar, well what can I say, even Mc Cloud has better form!

Squad looks good, we can do this!!! There are only 3 games that we really have to win! All blacks are definitely beatable!


Could have chosen somebody better to do the anthem though.....how bad was that!! Maybe next time they could get Ras Dumisani and Art Mathews to do a duet...then we can mess it up properly!!

I'm not much for the pomp and ceremony of squad announcements but damn....Supersport got that show all wrong!

Good team, but just not happy with Butch James. The guy is to scare to tackle around the legs. Resulting in to many penalties against us for high tackles.

Our coach has already disclosed his game plan, which is to out muscle the other teams with the forwards to get into the oppositions half and use Morne Steyns kicking ability to win games for us.

Therefore we can not afford to give away penalities for nothing, Butch james is to much of a risk to put on the field against stronger sides.

I still can't see why he felt the need to take Chiliboy as a 3rd hooker, because between Bismark and Smit we're covered. Still the team looks good, but I would have swopped Ndungane for Mvovo, that youngster played beautiful Rugby!

I also don't think John Smit is a "non playing" captain. He can still deliver the goods if he has to. This might be his last tour, but I still back him!!

Why Hougaard wasnt picked to start is anyone's guess. he's got more life in him than half the team.FDP had a shocker. He's got to see that bitching at the ref for fouls has been falling on deaf ears for a long time now.Just pick the ball and use it.
