OK.....but....is all of the blame really to be laid at the coach's feet?

Are the players not also to blame for what happened?

Only if the correct players have been selected.

Well with the sheit team our Wonderfull coach selected for the Wkend, The Boks can very well expect to get a good beating from the English

As woeful as the Boks have been this year, my very knowledgeable source seems to have been right about England being overrated.

Just a pity that our backline lacks the venom of our antipodean rivals.

The English players wear their shorts too tight, inhibits the balls.

for those of you who are still at varsity or for any one really, next week Monday 7th Feb is when the FNB Varsity Cup kicks off...
let the rivalrygames begin...

yesterday saw the first games of the season for the Varsity Cup....

Monday 07 February 2011
Maties (Stellenbosh) 32 - 6 NWU-Pukke (Potchefstroom)
NMMU (PE) 8 - 37 Tuks (Pretoria)
TUT (Tshwane) 23 - 33 UJ (Joburg)
Shimlas (Free State/Bloem) 10 - 26 UCT (Cape Town)

Can I create a separate thread for the Ccup / world cup and super 15 ?
Why is this pushed into 1 thread?
Why can we not separate it ?

Who said that you could not separate them, as long as they are in the Locker Room.

Fixtures for tonight's VC matches...

17h00 - NMMU vs UJ (PE) televised
19h00 - Pukke vs UCT (Potch) televised
19h00 - Tuks vs TUT (PTa)
19h00 - Shimla vs Maties (BFN)

Big grats to the BlitzBokke on their epic run in Las vegas.
Paul Treu, you are legend - the poor guy had so many nay-sayers (in the broader media, not this site) when he was appointed, I wonder where they are all hiding now.

Little bit of info:

The 7's are divided into 4 "leagues" so to speak.
The series at a predetermined venue (like Vegas), is started with each team on equal standing.
Based on your performance during playoff's, you qualify for either the Cup, Plate, Bowl or Shield, in that order of merit.

Depending on where you end up on the logs, you gather points. These points are carried over and accumulated with each hosted tournament. After all tournaments are done, the team with the most points will be the overall winner.

The Cup, as the top prize, was won by the BBokke this weekend, meaning for this leg they scored maximum points, but over all they are still 5th in the standings.

Results 14 February 2011

NWU-Pukke 8 - 36 UCT
Tuks 34 - 46 TUT
Shimlas 21 - 15 Maties
NMMU 16 - 21 UJ

That was a good win for Shimlas.

very seeing as Maties was last years winner and the fact that Shimlas lost their first 2 games last year....

S15 is dishing up some exciting rugga.

Proof again that playing rugga in Feb here at the coast is no good.
Proof again that the Sharks are the only team winning convincingly. Other teams like the Bulls and WP always come from behind. Something I always knew.

Go Sharks!

Ice, check the S15 thread !
