Amen. Sometimes I struggle to realize that these TH-cam coaches are just like me, it’s content for their channels to pass the time. We shouldn’t take them seriously
Sasha has yet to play against the AB's in a Springbok jersey, which is precisely why it is a good idea to gamble with him to start. The AB's have so many contingencies to contend with, why not another one to mess with their minds?
Precisely. And while the Aussies were crap, the rain in Perth was ridiculous but good experience for the RWC2027 just in case it pees down then. Rassie did the right thing to have a stupendous bench ready to take over in the second half to tidy things up but give the youngsters some fantastic field time before that. Rugby geniuses don't come along that often, but don't try and tell the dour Pretoria experts that. Rassie knows what he's doing.
Another thing that you guys forget is that there is practically zero chance that Pollard will play in the next World Cup as he would probably be too old but if Rassie wants to get him to the next World Cup, then playing him off the bench and giving him less game time is better to protect him over the next four years, that’s also the reason I believe it’s better to play the youngsters more, it would be great to beat the AllBlacks, but it’s not that relevant at this stage, bloody them against the best teams in the world and when it comes to the World Cup they would be so much better prepared for that stage , where I believe our main threat would be the AllBlacks again 😀
@@markburgess7956 a win would be nice but it’s not relevant at this stage, apart from giving the guys a massive boost , Rassie is building and that’s all that matters 😀
Brenden in the two recent games where we did very well against AB’s(Mbombela and Twickenham) Malcolm Marx started and set those games alight.Shouldn’t he start at Ellis Park with Bongi on the bench for later use in the game.We are privileged to have them both.
If we rock up it could get ugly. Argentina exposed the soft underbelly of the AB pack in the first test. As in the Foster era, every other game they struggle against a determined pack. Yes we must respect them but honestly it’s time that we make a statement. We are in a golden age of springbok rugby so let’s show the world that.
@@warrenbooysen like the way you think, I’ve got no doubt that we will rock up, more worried about the second test as we seem to switch off, good example against Ireland , people say they were that good, was more a case of us being that bad . We need to be able to lift the intensity even more, that for me is the difference between good and great 😀
I feel we are taking a gamble starting with Sascha. He should come on in the second half and make an impact when forwards have tired. Too much pressure for his young shoulders at this point. He is prone to making the odd error here and there and that's could cost us the game.
I don’t want to see him being picked apart on social media if he does make mistakes that cost a game. He needs time to develop- I wonder if it’s too much. However if he is chosen I hope he proves me wrong with an absolute blinder. I just don’t want it to ruin him if he doesn’t.

It makes sense for the Ellis park game to pick Bulls players and those who regularly play at altitude for their clubs otherwise there’s no real advantage for the Boks. I think he will pick Steenkamp and Elrigh Louw and Pollard will start
The 'advantage' for the Boks is that they have some outstanding players anyway, and also a Bomb Squad who can take over if the forwards tire. For top athletes altitude is not a major issue. Putting in dour Bulls players is.

I honestly don't see why Wiese should just waltz in back..he is no Vermeulen(reputation wise)...Elrigh like every youngster in Perth (except Fassie) struggled in the rain but he was very good in Brisbane. Ellis park is at altitude we need GP based players to play a central role bcoz the ABS have outlasted Boks in the last two games there.

Hi Brenden. I follow your content closely from Sydney. It would be helpful to get more colour on the newcomers in the forward packs who we don’t see during the year. I don’t know much about Steenkamp, Nortje, Louw, etc. Are these guys world class? I am concerned about the injuries at lock and potential de powering of the Bomb Squad.
All I don’t want to hear is this Altitude kak - the players have out conditioned altitude- as Munster should the Bulls. It is not an advantage and if it is then we should be cantering to minimum 15 point wins every time
Agree psychologically a chess game but with risky selections it remains a gamble and some coaches are hooked on gambling, like dropping your team leader Gary Teichman and not selecting Ian McDonald in 95 World Cup squad. Potential does not win matches, performance and productivity does.
Do people realize that the Kwagga playing for the Boks now, is not the 7s Kwagga? This theory that he’s a hybrid player (usually referring to his ability to play as a back line player) is false. He can only play 6,7 (maybe) or 8. Nothing else
Never seen a weak AB team and they could just as easily win by 30 as they could loose by 5. That said, Boks are back to who they truly are, playing good rugby, playing their best again which is why the game is properly in the balance, in fact Boks marginally favourites maybe. Changing styles and introducing youngsters (a must) brings risks but Rassie and the coaches are managing this well and that’s what we expect. I expect the Boks to tip it in their favour but not much in it, 1 score. Who will be the locks for the Boks, only 3 (Eden, RG and Ruan ) world class locks available (Moerat has a high ceiling and can be world class) and we simply play better when we use 4 locks.
Going with SFM is a bit of risk although he is the future, he made a lot of mistakes against Aussie We need a big unit at 8. Elrigh Louw is good but he too light to be another Vermuelen. Maybe more time in the gym?
I know when are talking about all these different locks coming in to the squad. What happened to Marvin Orie? He was good enough to go to the world cup yet he's just dissappeared?
Hi Brenden watch that old game between the abs and the boks 19th august 2000 at Ellis park and see who were playing in that game and the way the boks played in that game, cheers
F.Malherbe, Bongi and Kitshoff would be fantastic start for me Pollard start at 10, Sacha 2 half Number 8 is still open for me to find the right replacement for D.Vermulene Let's allow Rassie play chess game with this new and experienced players, this is gonna be fun 🇿🇦💃💃💃
We have lots of options! The All Blacks have something to prove, they will play a very fast game! We have to be innovative as well, I reckon the side who comes with the element of surprise, can dominate?
I'd like to see PSDT start at 5, with BJD at 7 and RG coming off the bench. If Louw starts at 8, then I think that Wiese will probably be on the bench with Kwagga and only one lock (RG).
I dont think there is anything wring with this. I would absolutely pick PSDT at 5 and BJDIXON on the side. Gives you 2 massive work horses. Kwagga, Viking, Eskom on the bemch
With Rassie's tendency to reward guys for puting their hands up, wouldn't surprise me if Nortje starts with RG on the bench. Think we need a lineout specialist and workhorse like Mostert.
He might have a rugby brain Brandon but he is not Rassie...

@victorswart7411 utter BS boet. There were 35 players in that squad including the replacements and every single one of them played a part in the title - with the possible exception of Lukhanyo who arrived so late and didn't play. Besides, doing something a year ago does not automatically entitle you to play for the Boks.
If Rassie thinks the AB's will be a walk over, then he is dumb. He knows they are always a great team. Our performance against them in the WC was not convincing. I am sure he will be wise and maybe add a few new ones in the 2nd game.
One MAJOR problem with Sacha, his out of hand kicking sucks, and it WILL prove fatal against the ABs if not corrected. Other than that, a fine player indeed.

@@Camcolito Look, I rate him highly and with experience he will become even better. However, one should not turn a blind eye to his shortcomings. All I am saying is that attention should be given to his out of hand kicking. You can ill-afford to miss a penalty kick to the touchline in a closely contested test as against the ABs will be. That may and most probably will lead to your downfall. Rather less (and make sure you find touch) than more that comes to naught.
SA the cheating, fowl play experts won the WC, did you know that coward Esobeth took out the NZ goal kicker 4 mins into the game, obviously this was part Rassie dirty plan to win world champions, Retalic another victim SA cowardice injurys so bad it almost put him out of the game of rugby permanently, Esobeth should apologise to Mohunga publicly Asp.
What utter nonsense. Shannon took out bongi in the first couple of minutes and that meant the boks couldn't use the lineout as a weapon. You lost the final fair and square. We missed no kicks your team missed 2 kicks and you turned down three kickable penalties to rather try scoring from a driving lineout.
Pollard is the real general they must stop treating him as a 2nd rate player. Sasha is exciting but NOT A GENERAL, POLLARD IS ONE OF THE ULTIMATE FLYHALVES IN HISTORY.
Disagree, he’s a brilliant kicker but never had the real ability to get the backline going, think back at Elton, I never liked him , but when he was flyhalf with Pollard centre , all of a sudden the backline got going, sorry Sweis, you’re living in the past, thinking in the past, that’s the problem with the old style. Said before I’m a massive Pollard fan , but him at centre with Sasha flyhalf, you would see sparks
No he's not. While a very good player, he's really been just a ball passer and a kicker. But then that's both the Bulls and Leicester type play. Times they are a changing and at last we have the Rassie Free State style of play, and even the dour Bulls are trying to run the ball under Jake. You really do need to get your thinking into the 21st century!
Rassie knows what he is doing . We should trust him ❤
Exactly, it's like he hasn't a clue what players have been doing behind the scenes.
Amen. Sometimes I struggle to realize that these TH-cam coaches are just like me, it’s content for their channels to pass the time. We shouldn’t take them seriously

I can't see why we shouldn't start Ox.
😂😂 here use this, eye salve
I would not be surprised by Kitshoff. He has only just come back. Good idea to give Steenekamp a start against ABs.
Pollard may be the goat. He just struggles to get the backline moving and get everyone else in the game.

@@Camcolito I concur.
Stop effing around. Pollard has to play, Sasha has done zero to dethrone Pollard. Portugal and Australia are not top level.
SA the cheating, fowl play experts won the WC, did you know that coward Esobeth took out the NZ goal kicker 4 mins into the game, obviously this was part Rassie dirty plan to win world champions, Retalic another victim SA cowardice injurys so bad it almost put him out of the game of rugby permanently, Esobeth should apologise to Mohunga publicly Asp.
Dodo who is on Crack, FO JOU mase, stop being a knob and go troll yourself somewhere people might care🤯
Spelling not your strongest suit! What a miserable, whining post! You must be such a treat at a game!!
Still got sour grapes....
We learnt well from others
What utter nonsense. Shannon took out bongi in the first couple of minutes and that meant the boks couldn't use the lineout as a weapon. You lost the final fair and square. We missed no kicks your team missed 2 kicks and you turned down three kickable penalties to rather try scoring from a driving lineout.
Pollard is the real general they must stop treating him as a 2nd rate player. Sasha is exciting but NOT A GENERAL, POLLARD IS ONE OF THE ULTIMATE FLYHALVES IN HISTORY.
Precisely
Disagree, he’s a brilliant kicker but never had the real ability to get the backline going, think back at Elton, I never liked him , but when he was flyhalf with Pollard centre , all of a sudden the backline got going, sorry Sweis, you’re living in the past, thinking in the past, that’s the problem with the old style. Said before I’m a massive Pollard fan , but him at centre with Sasha flyhalf, you would see sparks
@@Florida6719What do you suggest they do with De Allende and Kriel then? The best center pairing in the world.
No he's not. While a very good player, he's really been just a ball passer and a kicker. But then that's both the Bulls and Leicester type play. Times they are a changing and at last we have the Rassie Free State style of play, and even the dour Bulls are trying to run the ball under Jake. You really do need to get your thinking into the 21st century!
