12 Aug, 2017 beet Craven Week 175
12 Aug, 2017 at 10:37
In those wet conditions down in Paarl they needed Stephan Van Der Bank at 10…Christopher Schreuder isn’t 100% fit…. Mark Snyman, Conan Le Fleur & Dylan Richardson should have started….I struggle to see how Sanele Nohamba will make to Super Rugby he’s just too small….JJ needs to improve his work rate….
12 Aug, 2017 at 12:16
@Muzi: How did faf de Klerk make super rugby ?
12 Aug, 2017 at 12:25
@Muzi: how did Tanaka play super rugby ? And win it . Peter Stringer an international player. Your Point doesn’t make sense cause players of a similar height have been great in the game. He is only 18 and will pick up wait as he continues with his professional career
12 Aug, 2017 at 15:24
@warriors7: De Klerk is 1.72 m
80 kgs ….Nohamba is 164 cm & 63 Kg everyone was waxing lyrical about him at Craven Week level …against Wales the DHA pupil looked completely out his depth…this bloke should just stick to the 7’s game…..
12 Aug, 2017 at 22:23
@Muzi: No school boy becomes an international star overnight. Don’t crusify them after one game. Give them time to develop in this new environment. To bad mouth a junior player the way you do won’t achieve anything. Have a heart.
12 Aug, 2017 at 22:58
@Smiley: Muzi always quick to have a go at the kids. 1st game in and they’re cannon fodder. Let’s give them time and see how they develop.
13 Aug, 2017 at 04:23
@Muzi: So de Klerk was 80 kg at 18 ? ? Give the boy a chance he’s got so much talent. Who made you a super rugby selector ? Get out of here
13 Aug, 2017 at 10:09
SA Schools was another team when the reserves came on – Mark Snyman made a massive impact. Before that only Apollis managed to make the breaks – and a certain try got lost after one of his breaks – as the scrummie lost the ball with an open tryline.
The match just proved again that good Craven week players are not necessarily good international players at this level.
And the game plan was so strange – again. Our backline was good, but we played the box kick over and over denying the backline to do their thing.
13 Aug, 2017 at 16:18
@Djou: there’s no other way to select players for series than craven week
13 Aug, 2017 at 16:49
@Slam: a bit of perspective for you and @smiley: most of these “kids” earns, Or will earn, more money than most graduates in their first few years after varsity. Many of them are older than 18. They have now entered the professional era in their rugby life – they better start proving their mettle. Bullshit that we speak about them as “poor kids”. No need to “bash” them either, but honest commentary necessary. Some players clearly out of their depth. I agree that we need to see more, this was their first bash at next level. Very clear that “talk is cheap” – related to some journalists creating hype as well as some “others”. As we have seen so many times, you cannot talk yourself out of poor performance. Show that you can perform. Many good future players out there, biting at the “bit” and keen to get exposure (non selections).
13 Aug, 2017 at 16:57
@warriors7: the really small players need extra special skills as well as doing the basics right, to perform as a professional. Being really big is also not going to help if you are overweight and not performing at high intensity. Probably enough said. Players must understand what is expected of them and work hard at becoming complete athletes (body, mind, spirit).
13 Aug, 2017 at 18:02
Ek stem 100% saam jou. Klink of die span “gesuffle” word vir Dinsdag. Vian Fourie (6), Varkie (2) en Rikus (12) klink my is almal gedrop bench toe. Mark en Yanga weet ek kom in, Mpeku skuif 14 toe en Qota glo ek 15 toe.
13 Aug, 2017 at 19:33
@chief: Deel bietjie meer asb?
14 Aug, 2017 at 13:30
I see Stephan van der Bank has been called up to the SAS side. Very happy for him.
14 Aug, 2017 at 16:05
@warriors7: You can also select them from Academy Week!
14 Aug, 2017 at 16:07
@Hooit: He deserved it! Was strange that he wasn’t selected in the first instance.
14 Aug, 2017 at 18:24
Ek het net eens ding om te vertel, so baie soos “quota” en “politieke keuses” ‘n invloed het op ‘n span het die klomp afrigter net so groot insaai op die probleem van SA Skole. Wie is hierdie ouens? Wat het hulle BETER as ouens soos Sean Erasmus op hulle CV’s?
14 Aug, 2017 at 18:28
Not Ruben Beytell or David Coetzer?
14 Aug, 2017 at 19:33
Miskien is Beytell gestraf oor hy nie die oefenkampe bygewoon het nie? Sal ons ooit weet?
14 Aug, 2017 at 19:36
@chief: Van der Bank en Shreuder was volgens my die beste losskakels op Cravenweek. Daar was verskeie ander spelers wat ongelukkig kan wees om nie daar te wees nie. Maar gaan lees op die SA skole spankeuse thread. Ek als al daar genoem.
14 Aug, 2017 at 19:45
@chief: Ek dink ek het vir Sean Vrydag gesien by die soan. @Hooit, kan jy dit bevestig asb?
14 Aug, 2017 at 19:53
Hy is by die span maar hy het nie regtig ‘n sê nie. Ek weet hy help definitief uit met die verdediging struktuur.
14 Aug, 2017 at 19:55
@meleond: Hy is assistent afrigter. Dink by voorspelers.
14 Aug, 2017 at 19:56
Ek stem 100% saam dat albei die beste was by CW maar David en Ruben was in swak CW spanne. PLUS nie een van die SA Skole flyhalfs wat gekies is kan reguit maak nie.
14 Aug, 2017 at 20:10
Hy is glad nie gelys as deel van die afrigting span nie, assistent afrigters is die ou van Welkom Gim.
Die flyhalf word opgeroep vir ‘n slot besering? (Adrian van Boishaai is huis toe). So ons speel net met 1 kwaliteit slot op die oomblik.
15 Aug, 2017 at 06:19
@chief: Net 1?
15 Aug, 2017 at 10:19
Net 1, jy kan maar kies watter slot dit is.
15 Aug, 2017 at 14:40
Se gou vir my : SA Skole speel teen onder 19 spanne waarvan almal pro kontrakte het by klubs – dus nie meer op skool nie.
Is ek reg ?
15 Aug, 2017 at 17:35
Has an SAS team ever lost all their matches ?
And who are the coaches involved ( which unions ) ?
15 Aug, 2017 at 17:38
Kicking the ball dead as you’re trying chasing a game is criminal. It’s sad cause I think this squad has so much talent.
15 Aug, 2017 at 17:42
@robbie: Dis nog altyd so gewees…geen verskonings..ons ander SA Skole spanne dieselfde spanne gespeel. Verstaan net nie die besluit om lynstaan op te soek terwyl jy reg onder pale n tap n go kan vat en ten minste balbesit behou nie. Al het ons gescore van lynstaan sou skop baie moeiliker gewees het. Die ou wat daai besluit geneem het moet maar eerder anoniem bly!
15 Aug, 2017 at 17:46
En jy kan nie Van d Bank verkwalik vir n fout nie..almal maak foute..of joune nou 3 punte kos of 5 punte of reg teen die einde…dit bly n fout en deel van die game…die tyd wanneer dit gebeur is ongelukkig meer uitgelig on laaste minute. Dit is beslis nie sy skuld dat ons verloor het nie….
15 Aug, 2017 at 18:24
Tog interessant dat die bal so stadig by die agterlyn uitkom. Beide voorspelers wat nie vining genoeg en ordentlik “clean” nie en dan baie stadige aangee na die losskakel. Die rush defence is gewoonlik vining op die binnesenter, maar vandag en Vrydag was hulle op die losskakel. Res van die agterlyn het dan nie ‘n kans nie.
My beskeie opinie is dat min van die jaar se groep (veral agterspelers) dit na die senior vlak toe gaan maak.
15 Aug, 2017 at 18:33
@warriors7: Headcoach is from Hugenote in Wellington. Rest I am not sure. Nothing in SA rugby surprise me anymore. Who ever thought a bok team would lose to Japan? Politics and bad planning has ruined our game. Schoolboy rugby is the only real rugby left but once the provinces amd/or national union gets involved it all goes to s… In my opinion most top rugby schools in SA will give this SAS team a run for their money and probable beat them.
15 Aug, 2017 at 18:48
@Djou: Ek is geneig om met jou saam te stem oor die min manne wat dit vorentoe gaan maak. Die persentasie van SA Skole spelers wat later senior provinsiale rugby speel is reeds bitter klein. Ek het betroubaar verneem dat n hele aantal van die groter unies, is nie te opgewonde oor hierdie jaar groep nie. Hierdie uitslae sal dus hul vermoedens seker bevestig. Voel egter jammer vir n paar manne wat tog hand opgesteek het.Glo egter dat die unies se talent jagters darem hul werk sal doen.
15 Aug, 2017 at 18:51
@Djou: My voorspelling is minder goed.. ..Ek sien net een speler wat dit dalk volgende jaar in 0/20 groep sal maak…Op huidige vorm natuurlik.
15 Aug, 2017 at 18:57
En jou een speler is wie?
15 Aug, 2017 at 18:58
@Kattes-Strofes: Ongelukkig is die meeste unies se talentsoekers en HPC bestuurders lankal ook reeds ‘n gat in die kop gepraat oor die groep, ons gaan hulle nog ‘n jaar of so sien rondploert. Dis nou die konkoksie waarmee jy sit waneer agente, afrigters en kenners se kakpraat en die patetiese SA Elite Groep stelsel saam gebliksem word
15 Aug, 2017 at 19:00
@chief: Een wat nie eers daar is agv siekte nie
15 Aug, 2017 at 19:02
Dis vir my snaaks hoe almal die backline blameer maar glad nie die forwards nie, onderandere 2,3,5,7,8 is vir my non-existent. 13 het seker 15 keer vandag die bal gekry sonder om te versprei ook wanneer dit nodig was.
15 Aug, 2017 at 19:09
Wonder of jy so sou sê as hy vandag saam die groep verloor het? Tot hy alleen sal nie die pak kan uitsorteer nie.
15 Aug, 2017 at 19:35
@chief: Hy is in die groep en het wel gespeel…maar ek wil nie nou name noem nie..ek sal wel erken as ek verkeerd was. Dit belowe ek.
15 Aug, 2017 at 19:39
@chief: Ek dink net die regte besluite was nie geneem..span het nie gelyk of hulle n plan het nie .jy kan net sover op talent speel.
15 Aug, 2017 at 19:54
@ Ploegskaar.In 2012 op die Grant Khomo Week en ook op die 2015 Khomo Week kon almal al sien dat die matriekgroepe van 2014 en 2017 nie goeie groepe sou wees nie.2014 se SA Skole span het ook teen Engeland verloor en nie oortuig in die ander 2 westryde nie.Die 2017 span het ook alreeds 2 games verloor en enige iemand wat wonderwerke van die 2 jare se spanne verwag het was onrealisties en was nie op die Khomo weke van 2012 en 2015 nie om te sien dat hierdie groepe baie dun en regtig nie op standaard was al toe hulle 16 jr oud was nie.Help nie hulle word nou afgeskryf as hulle verloor nie, ek is seker elke speler het sy bes probeer wanneer hy n Boktrou oor sy kop trek ,maar as jy nie gamebreaker talent spelers het nie sal die resultate dit ook wys.Die 2014 matriekgroep was ook nie op standaard toe hulle die senior spelers was in die 2016 0/20 World Cup.Gaan interresant wees om te sien hoe ons span dan in die 2018 0/20 Wereld Beker vaar.
Die assistent afrigter is van Welkom Gim, my vraag big HOE? Van aanskoulike skole rugby tot ‘n Blou Bul of Springbok gameplan.
Vir wat dit werd is kan hulle net sowel die 3 Grey seuns hulle laaste wedstryd laat speel teen Paul Roos, waar hulle trots lê. Ek sal ‘n paar rand op sit dat Grey College, Paarl Gim, Boishaai (nog ‘n paar van ons top skole) hierdie teenwoordige lande kan gemaklik klop.
15 Aug, 2017 at 19:56
Die basiese tegnieke is baie swak. As julle weer enige een van 2 wedstryde kyk, kyk hoe skrum die agsteman. Heeltemal verkeerd, en kan nie glo dat iemand op die vlak so bind nie. Erger is dat die afrigters dit nie agterkom nie. Hierdie jaar glad nie game breakers soos vorige jaar nie. Die top 7 sewe skole in lank sal elkeen die span klop.
15 Aug, 2017 at 20:17
@chief: “Dis vir my snaaks hoe almal die backline blameer maar glad nie die forwards nie, onderandere 2,3,”5″,7,8 is vir my non-existent”. Huh maybe its my understanding of Afrikaans or you are still on the pitch watching that u15D game. The only forward on the park today was Nr5. The same goes for the game against Wales. IMO he was the MOM in both games. Backline was terrible. Predictable and boring as hell. I think that GW U15D could have caused an upset today.
15 Aug, 2017 at 20:38
@chief: Chief I know this blog does not recommend one promoting his own son but #5 had a huge game. Will not disclose what was said after the game but #5 had a huge game. If you do not agree it is fine. My biast opinion only.
15 Aug, 2017 at 20:43
@Dok F: dieselfde agsteman mis 4 tackles, doen geen “power” of agterlyn runs en perform geensins as die “link-speler” wat mense glo hy is nie. Wat doen hy daar behalwe praat? Ag nee man!
Die elite-squad sisteem dwing keurders ( en ander) om ander talent te verontagsaam. Heelwat passasiers. Henco het in sy kort tyd op veld 2 maal meer as 7 en 8 saam gedoen. Manne van Natal uiters teleurstellend – weereens.
Van Niekerk en Snyman enigstes wat voor hulle deel doen.
15 Aug, 2017 at 20:46
@Hooit: Is Nr5 your son. Flip then I would be very proud of him. He was immense on the field. Great line out work, hits and gets over the advantage line and you have to be very brave if you wish to run at him or run in his channel. Love his work?????
@Ploegskaar: Solank as wat daar elite squads en kontrakteering van skoolseuns bestaan, so sal SA rugby bly agteruit gaan. Ons verloor hopeloos te veel talentvolle seuns wat agv di bg praktyk nie ‘n toekoms sien in rugby nie. Ek wonder hoeveel van die seuns wat vir hierdie SAS span gekies is, sou gekies geword het indien hulle nie in die SARU O18 elite squad was nie?
15 Aug, 2017 at 20:49
@Hooit: @chief was probably thinking about your son. Hoera for the hard workers. When will selectors learn to gauge players properly?
15 Aug, 2017 at 20:56
@BrotherBear: Yes the Natal players weren’t great. The entire team for both games were very disappointing. It’s really sad to see such talent available at CW then put them together are they just don’t click. Surely it starts at the top then down to the players. I’m just a spectator so maybe your input will help me understand why I feel so heart sore
15 Aug, 2017 at 21:08
An interesting observation w.r.t. players:
Many players that are regarded as untouchable in their school or provincial setups cannot make the grade, because they have not learned to focus on true excellence. They perform on hot air. When confronted with true adversity they tend to fluster.
Players that really have to work hard, with decent talent, tend to perform consistent and can step-up.
@Scrum5: Dis juis die punt, plaaslik en elders word manne ge-ID en in die stelsel gehou, soms van o13 CW tot GK en o18 CW, of hy nou vorm behou, ‘n stut met die bou van ‘n tuindwerg is, slot wat onder die eetkamer tafel kan deurloop, maak nie saak! Buig of bars ons neuk aan tot by SA skole
15 Aug, 2017 at 21:09
My takes from todays match;
8 work rate is below what is expected from a classic 8. With the size of 4 he should be keeping a few players busy so that his 6 and 7 can cause a bit of mayhem, should try and stay out of the backline. 9 rather slow and putting 10 under pressure. 10 is standing way to deep, should be taking the ball a bit flatter and try and use inside passes to draw in defence and try and create gaps. Not sure what the instructions were, but thought they tried to go wide to soon. Rate 6 and 7, but not allowed to perform their roles as they were working hard on defence. 5 has huge work rate, carries well, but needed 4, 1, 2, and 3 to assist him doing the grunt work. 12 to 15 has a lot of flair, but need to work harder off the ball.
Scrappy game, possibly not helped by the conditions.
15 Aug, 2017 at 21:11
@chief: Hoofman daai seun is klas. Visie, hande, bedrieglike spoed en hope tyd. Hy sou uitstaan in ‘n Rudolf Strauli toetsspan
15 Aug, 2017 at 21:12
@Hooit: Jou lat kan jol, maar hy is verseker ‘n blindside vorentoe (of ‘n slot in OVS ?)
15 Aug, 2017 at 21:16
@meleond: Verseker een van die grootste euwels in ons skolestelsel!
15 Aug, 2017 at 21:56
Jammer ek het my nommers bietjie omgeruil met 4 en 5 dit was bedoelend vir 4. Verskoning vir die fout en geluk met jou seun se wedstryd, hy (5) en 1 vandag was al wat hulle werk gedoen het.
@Ploegskaar: Wie van huidige span sal laasjaar se SAS gemaak het.Ek sal net 2 kies.
15 Aug, 2017 at 21:58
@chief: Chief I think you have chicken flu. That’s Nr4 you talking about. You highlighted Nr5 as non-existent. Nr5 was the best player in both matches. I think the chicken flu has turned into swine flu. I’m miles away from been a GW person let alone a supporter. Please remove “you” from your sentence.
15 Aug, 2017 at 22:03
@chief: Don’t worry about apologizing to me. I’m happy if you apologize in Afrikaans or in English. I’m from the Last Outpost.
15 Aug, 2017 at 22:07
@BoishaaiPa: Wie is dit?
@Bush: Thank you appreciated. Very kind words.
@meleond: Thank you
@Ploegskaar: I agree. Thank you.@chief: No problem. Thanks
@Grizzly: En dit is?
15 Aug, 2017 at 22:09
Jammer gewoonlik as ons praat van JJ is hy in ‘n 5 trui vir CW of Sharks by die CW. As jy die SA Span gesien het wat ek gekies het in CW tyd sou sy sien dat van Niekerk is daar.
15 Aug, 2017 at 22:13
@chief: Sorry if I respond in English, my Afrikaans is terrible. 2 3 Grey. ???????
15 Aug, 2017 at 22:16
Ek hoor die regte goed, ek wil maar net van jou kant af weet of jou seun bietjie negatief is in die kamp?
15 Aug, 2017 at 22:19
@chief: Ja een is jou yster,maar saam Ryno.Die ander een beroep ek my op my art5 swygreg.
15 Aug, 2017 at 22:26
@Grizzly: Sorry,vir Hooit bedoel.
15 Aug, 2017 at 22:58
16 Aug, 2017 at 01:01
@Hooit: 2 3 Kwagga!!! I think rest of the team well below par of what a SAS side should be! Having watched festivals and seasons matches and CW this team is a shadow of what SAS team should be….. Hooit don’t know where he will be going in future but I am sure there is 1 for him. For the rest they need to study hard use their next 2 years cash well to get a good job in future!!!!!
16 Aug, 2017 at 07:38
5, 7 en 13 was uitstaande. nr 6 was goed maar ek het beter verwag – hy is in elk geval strate beter as die dwerg wat hom vervang het. So ‘n swak Cravenweek waar die vlinders uitgestaan het weens swak verdediging het ‘n onder gemiddelde SA Skole span opgelewer. Met nat weer het jy voorspelers nodig wat kan domineer en ‘n skakel paar wat kan beheer neem. Ongelukkig het dit nie gebeur nie.
Op huidige vorm sal net nr 5 as ‘n nr7 en 13 dit maak in Pro Rugby!
16 Aug, 2017 at 07:50
@Babbelas: “strate beter as die dwerg wat hom vervang het.”..uiters swak kommentaar. Jy het blykbaar die hele 2017 SBR seisoen verslaap lyk dit my.
16 Aug, 2017 at 08:12
@Babbelas: nee kyk maat jy sit die pot lelik mis daai mannetjie is Heinrich Brussow gereinkarneer, dammm fine player
16 Aug, 2017 at 10:02
almal kla en met goeie reg.Julle ouens love die game maar hierdie is net n simptoom van die “sisteem” in skole rugby.90 %van die kids word geidntifiseer op laerskool.Daai oukies het n groot kans on GK te speel want hulle kom deur “sisteem” en die GK kids weer n groot kans vir CW want hulle kom deur ‘sisteem”En so vok ons voort.As jy nie n kontrak het nie kan jy nerens kom na skool nie.Ons moet ons gekontrakteerde spelers gebruik,word games gewaarborg ens.Die probleem is baie goeie spelers word mis gekyk agv bg en ook omdat ons nie in tradionele rugby skole is nie.Al ons bloggers het al skool rugby gekyk …dan wen jou span ver maar daar is altyd 2/3 laaities wat kan speel in verloorkant,maar hulle gaan nowhere.Het dit al genoem maar in 2012 het Monnas 28 spelers in Leeu spanne gehad…wat n grap maar die head coach is van Monnas,die AW coach van Monnas en Puk coach van Monnas.Dis net n voorbeeld van wat in die game aangaan wat nie reg is nie.Terug na huidige SAS skole span,sjoe daar is baie en herhaal baie gemiddelde spelers in groep.Persepsies word geskep oor n speler en dit is of keurders dit beloon.Hoe kan ons met 4 heelagters speel?Waar is n erkende vleul soos DC van Helpies,selfs SWD het ouens met pace en aftrappe gehad.DA van bulle is n ligpunt.Maar ja die wyse manne weet altyd beter.”Bly Beyers Truter hoef nie hierdie oesjaar te gebruik om Pinotage te maak nie”
16 Aug, 2017 at 11:04
@meleond: agree that no 9 provides poor service to 10, who stands too deep and far. You say 12 to 15 has flair. Problem is that 12 cannot straighten the backline and should be used at wing, if at all. He was drafted as loose forward into elite squad at U/16, but NEVER performed any loose forward tasks (how does that work?). Then transferred to centre and stayed in elite squad.
Surely these players are deemed to have the necessary skills for the positions where they are applied? Must the coaching team not make sure the players know what to do and have the abilities? Saw that Sean Erasmus was extremely vocal and animated with the players yesterday. Is he actually running the show?
16 Aug, 2017 at 12:20
@BoishaaiPa: Volgens Engeland se website is dit hul U18 groep, nie seker van Wallis en Franse nie.
16 Aug, 2017 at 12:46
@David: Die artikel wat ek gelees het het genoem dat 9 van hulle deel was o20 World cup. Hul is definitief o19.
16 Aug, 2017 at 13:02
@BrotherBear: Do not have full history of 12, so based my comments on what I saw. As mentioned by me and few others on this thread, elite squad creates false sense of reality.
Not 100% sure what Sean’s role is, but also noticed him getting very animated at half time.
16 Aug, 2017 at 13:09
@Hooit: Knap gedaan aan jou seun. Hoop hulle kan hom vinnig convert in n 7.
Vir die res van die manne sjoe ek weet nie regtig wat om te se nie.
Die span van engeland is definitief U18
16 Aug, 2017 at 13:12
@Babbelas: Jy is n aap. Dalk nog onder die prop. Gee my 15 Vian Fouries dan klop ek enige span
16 Aug, 2017 at 13:13
@BrotherBear: About Sean: and Your point is?
16 Aug, 2017 at 13:17
Die loskop van SWD en vaskop van die OP sou die skrum gestabiliseer het en in die vaste los hulle werk gedoen het. Die 7 van Vrystaat sou gehelp het met lynstaan besit en met die bal dra, asook op verdediging. Die 10 van Grens of Beytel speel anders as die SAS 10, meer direk en nader aan die lyn, so mens sou jou spelpatroon kon wissel. Rikus is ‘n skadu van homself agv besering en ek dink iemand soos Le Fleur op 12 sal ‘n groot verskil maak. Cary op 11 en Du Plessis op 15 en die span lyk skielik stukke beter.
Ek hou steeds baie van Fourie, maar met 2 provinsiaale skydsregters teen Gim en in die eerste SAS wedstryd is hy baie gestraf, hy sal sy tegniek by die afbreekpunt moet aanpas – veral met die nuwe onkant reel by die duikslag.
16 Aug, 2017 at 13:19
@meleond: Daar is 1 seun in die SAS span wat nie in die u18 elite groep was nie waarvan ek weet.
16 Aug, 2017 at 13:24
@Smiley: Original understanding was that he not head coach, but he seems to make the calls and dictate game plan. You decide if they working or not.
16 Aug, 2017 at 13:32
@Hooit: I visited the England u18 website and note that some 80% of the squad are currently 18 and 20% are younger. So, it looks like they are indeed u18. That said, as such a high percentage are already 18, it might indicate that they follow the UK school year re age – i.e. so long as one turns 19 after July, one might be considered u18 in 2017. In that case, they’d have about a half a year advantage over SA.
The more interesting stat is that most players have between 4 and 10 caps under their belts, so they have much more experience than SA at this level.
16 Aug, 2017 at 13:40
@BrotherBear: dalk is die aangestelde afrigters totaal uit hulle diepte…. Sou sin maak om die leeus se CW afrigter as SAS afrigter te he
16 Aug, 2017 at 13:52
@Vleis: http://www.youthweeks.ruggas.co.za/?p=1703 If you go read the player profiles, some of them have been playing together at international level from u16. It seems they are u18 ut think they work on half year like u mentioned.
16 Aug, 2017 at 13:53
@MikeSt: Dankie dit is die plan. Weer net nie hoe vinnig is vinnig nie
16 Aug, 2017 at 14:00
@Smiley: Oppas, jy mag nie meer mense ‘n aap noem nie, blykbaar rassisties… :). Na die bohaai wat van die bloggers oor die spesifieke speler gemaak het, het ek ‘n punt gemaak om hom dop te hou in verskeie rugby games en hy het my glad nie beindruk nie. Hy was baie gelukkig om in ‘n paar van die games nie geel kaarte te kry nie. Lions se nr 7 het hom ook oorskadu in die CW. Die laaste 1,75 m flank wat dit gemaak het was Jean Pierre Rives in 1975……die jare toe stutte nog onder 100 kg geweeg het en senters 75 kg! Hey, maar dis maar net my opinie, lankal weer onder die prop….hik!
16 Aug, 2017 at 14:25
@Smallies: jong, die huidige skole Leeus afrigter speel ‘n hoe tempo game met ligter, ratse spelers van no 6 tot 15. No 1 tot 5 moet voor domineer en kwaliteit bal verseker. Dink nie dit sal hier werk want opposisie is groot en vaardig. Vaste 5 domineer nie en opposisie verdediging baie goed.
Van Der Bank se skopskoen kan beter aangewend word vir taktiese veldplasing. Lynstane moet verbeter. Kaptein se strafskop besluite moet verbeter (maar dalk is hy onder instruksie). Teenaanvalle moet verbeter met kwaliteit ondersteuning. Ouens gaan te vinnig wyd van faste fasette en senters moet lyne reguit maak. Vermindering van foute sal druk noemenswaardig verlig. Lyk of BMT by sommige spelers kort. Weet nie of spelers mekaar al vertrou. Dan moet al die ander “kenners” se kommentaar or spelers ook positief ter harte geneem word deur spelers.
Ek nie kenner, dis maar my mening en net basics.
Wens ook die outjies sterkte toe – dis moeilik om terug te kom van sulke verlore.

Wonder how much influence the coach or coaches have in the squad selection. To be a coach and u get given 4 fullbacks and be told to make a backline is also unrealistic. It is just an example. I know Diego is actually a center. Are players picked for their individual brilliance or as part of a gameplan or their ability to fit into a gameplan.
16 Aug, 2017 at 14:55
I would like to think that the coaches have a choice in picking the squad, but based on the performance thus far, I doubt it. There was no structure in the game plan. Centers never straightened the line and 13 never passed… 15 thought he was the biggest guy on the field and tried to run through tackles. He did not pass once. 2,3,4 were too slow to get to the brackedowns and put strain on the rest to do their work.
16 Aug, 2017 at 15:22
@Hooit: I would say that players should be selected not only for their technical abilities, but also mental strength (BMT) and ability to adapt to different game plans. Surely the coach should have enough to work with if these players have the necessary capabilities? There are definately players outside this group that has better capability sets.
16 Aug, 2017 at 15:31
@Smiley: jou opmerkings onvan pas…jou opmerkings is tiperend van die skool wat jy verteenwooordig,julle weet alles en almal wat verskil is clueless,word wakker jou koos,almal het n opinie,of jy daarvan hou of nie.Die SAS skolespan is nie op meriete en standaard en wie hulle afrig het geen idee wat hy doen.As hy sou afrig moes hy seker invloed op keuse van span gehad het,of wat sou jy dink,my kenner?
16 Aug, 2017 at 16:01
Kom ons aanvaar die span is nie op meriete gekies nie. Daar is beter spelers ! Daar is egter ander faktore wat ook ‘n rol gespeel het :
1. Ons spelers is minimum van ‘n jaar jonger en nog op skool. Buiten ouderdom is die oorsese spelers reeds in ‘n pro omgewing. Ons spelers moet Maandag eksamen skryf.
2. Die coach het 4 dae gehad om voor te berei vir die eerste wedstryd. Nie maklike taak nie.
3. Coach se ondervinding is ‘n probleem. Sean moes rustyd praat.
4. Ons spanne het ‘n manie oor hoek toe skop vir strafskoppe. Minder as 20% is ooit suksesvol.
5. Help nie ons kritiseer indiwiduele spelers nie. Van die spelers wat gister gespeel het was nie naby aan hoe ek hulle vanjaar al sien speel het nie.
16 Aug, 2017 at 16:06
@Babbelas: Ek stem saam met 5 en 13.Ek stem saam met @Rainier oor Beytel.Rikus het so 10 aan sy binnekant nodig en sal meer doeltreffend wees.Sy werk om oor die voordeellyn te kom sal hy baie meer doeltrefend uit voer as ons vlakker en meer direk speel.DA kan dan van die volgende fase spasie skep vir Muller en kie.Ek glo daar is baie ander wat daar moet wees maar in my opinie sou hy die grootste verskil gemaak het.Geen tekort aan selfvertroue(bmt),hy glo meer as enige een in sy eie vermoens(Naas) wat baie skaars is.Party sal dit as negatief sien en miskien windgat.Dis ongelukkig wat jy kort as jy op die groot verhoog wil dans…
16 Aug, 2017 at 16:21
@knowthegame: Jip. Almal het n opinie. Gaan lees weer die reels van die blog voor julle kinders en skole sleg maak op die blog. Nou is my aanmwerkings onvanpas. As hy n reaksie uitlok gaan hy mos een kry. Koos.
16 Aug, 2017 at 16:24
@Babbelas: Size is die ondergang van menige spanne in ons land. Verduidelik wat die verskil is tussen bv. 176 cm en 1.79 cm .Is dit nie jou workrate wat die verskil maak nie. Richie Mcaw was ook volgens baie kenners altyd baie gelukkig.
16 Aug, 2017 at 18:22
103 kg (16 st 3 lb; 227 lb
15 November 1980 (age 36)

Cradock , Eastern Cape, South Africa
1.81 m (5 ft 11 1 ⁄2 in)
16 Aug, 2017 at 18:34
Daar is niks fout met Vian Fourie se size nie en uit my oogpunt is hy die ou wat Boishaai hierdie jaar gemaak het. Nie een span kon elke fase vinnige bal kry nie want VIAN is daar! Ons weet al van kleins af toe Vian O13 CW gespeel het vir WP dat jy 2 dalk 3 ekstra ouens moet commit vir die rucks om hom te illimineer.
Ek hoor die manne is maar baie negatief by die SA’s en wil nou net dit oor kry. Ek hoop Christopher en Rikus se beserings is uitgesorteer vir Saterdag.
16 Aug, 2017 at 18:39
@chief: hoop ook so
16 Aug, 2017 at 22:33
@Smallies: Could you not at least have edited that, and included star signs and sexual preference?
17 Aug, 2017 at 08:40
@McCulleys Workshop: was te lui gewees
17 Aug, 2017 at 17:07
Klink ‘n groot hoeveelheid spelers is op ‘n drip vandag?
En daardie KES afrigtertjie cover heeltyd vir sy manne wat foute maak.
17 Aug, 2017 at 17:16
@chief: Ek hoop die afrigters en keurders is ook op n drip.
17 Aug, 2017 at 17:34
@chief: Jy weet nogal baie wat in die kamp aangaan. Jou verbintenis of vra Beet vir my besonderhede. Sal graag wil ‘ontmoet’
17 Aug, 2017 at 18:02
Ek kyk ongelukkig die wedstryde tuis op die TV. Is Cristen gesond en wel?
17 Aug, 2017 at 18:12
@chief: Ek kyk ook by die huis op die TV. Cristen sê hy voel goed en sal reg wees. Hy sien baie uit na die game.
17 Aug, 2017 at 20:59
@chief: Ek het met my seun gepraat. Van sy kant sien hy net so baie uit om teen Engeland te speel as 2 weke terug toe hy gehoor het hy her span gekry. Nog steeds sy grootste belewenis om die groentrui oor sy kop te trek.
18 Aug, 2017 at 20:05
Sendin made four changes to his starting team for Saturday’s clash. Kick-off is at 14h00, while France will face Wales at 12h15. Both matches will be broadcast live on SuperSport 5.

19 Aug, 2017 at 14:40
The basic skills in this SAS schools team is lacking. They are missing so many tackles, not physical enough…15 left 2 tries there. Games not over though
19 Aug, 2017 at 15:40
Baie gelyk weer met Cristen se wedstryd, ek glo dit sal baie voordelig wees vir hom om volgende jaar die 7 trui sy eie te maak.
Hartseer vir Varkie, Rikus en Christopher om nie deel te wees van die Paul Roos wedstryd nie.
19 Aug, 2017 at 15:42
Eish…eerste keer dat n SA skole span geen game kon wen nie! ..tekens van die tye?..Mens moet kan tackle ook..dis deel van rugby..swak Piketberg!
19 Aug, 2017 at 15:51
@BoishaaiPa: Kon net 10 minute in 2de helfte kyk. Dit was darem pateties. So hartseer dat ouens hul laaste skool game moes mis vir die stront. Kan hierdie reeks nie n maand later gehou word om meer kans te gee vir saam oefen en dat seisoen kan klaar wees.
19 Aug, 2017 at 16:10
@CharlesZA: Ek dink daar is 3 mannetjies wat verseker eerder op Markotter wou wees as Athlone!..Die span was ongelukkig net eenvoudig treurig. Die individuele spelers verdien dit nie…as span was hulle egter nie n eenheid nie.
19 Aug, 2017 at 16:19
@BoishaaiPa: ek hoor daar was n efense dissipliene probleem ook gewees, volgens n pel van my moes die rev van die seuns ernstig aanspreek
19 Aug, 2017 at 16:28
the question will become whether you select a team for this series or based on craven week performance etc. it may well have been that this team would have performed better on a harder field. the english union set up is becoming more professional, with youth teams (u 16 etc) also playing internationals. so it is ironic that we are now pushing against this.
19 Aug, 2017 at 16:35
Soos ek vroeer gese het seuns sal eerder hulle skool se laaste game wil speel as SAS. Nou verstaan mense dalk beter.
Nie een HJS man in die span nie? As ons beste skole span die jaar net een ou in die span het gaan dit seker moeilik wees? Jammer oor al die HJS beserings daar was manne wat ‘n groot verskil sou maak.
19 Aug, 2017 at 16:41
Die elite squad dit is die probleem. Kinders word nou al op o/13 geidentifiseer. Dit is belaglik. PRG gaan nog volgende jaar baie huil oor daai “elite” manne. Goeie seuns word uit posisie gespeel om plek te maak vir manne wat nie meer die beste is nie.
19 Aug, 2017 at 16:42
@Stier: dink dis tyd dat suid afrika se skole hulle voet neersit en saru uit skole rugby uit wegjaag… Ek is seker daarvan dat die skole van suid afrike n skole week sal kan aanbied wat die cw sal vaal laat lyk
@BoishaaiPa: n Duidelike teken van n span wat nie reg gekies is, as man van buite squad kom na start op 10 en hy replace n slot. Dan erken coaches hulle het fout begaan. Mens kan nie work rate leer en net 5 het dit gehad soos almal al uitgewys het. Hierdie kan n goeie les wees vir alle aspirant pro spelers. Net omdat jy talent het beteken nie jy gaan erens kom.
Ek dink as ek n groep van 23 ouens kies wat nie vandag daar was wat ek dink dit gaan maak vs hoeveel van die groep dit gaan maak sal ek met redelike sekerheid se my groep gaan meer spelers het wat nog speel oor 5 jaar.
Daar was nou nie n topic vir die week se games nie maar het vandag Stellenberg teen Tygerberg gaan kyk. Eerstens is dit bitter jammer om te sien hoe ons 3des game begin het teen 11 spelers en die o14B teen 10. Beide games het as 10-a-side geindig.
Met 14 manne vir omtrent 50 minute het ons 90-26 gewen. Jammerte die seun is afgestuur vir iets wat ek nie dink hy met opset gedoen het. Moet weer noem watter great game Janko Swanepoel gehad het, hy werk die hele 70 minute en hoop hy maak n sukses van sy loopbaan volgense jaar daar bo. Josh op 2 het ook keer op keer groot meters gemaak met die bal in hand.
1 game oor vir die groep. Lekker interskole teen Durbies en die dorp is lamp pale dra reeds die kleure van die skole. Gaan n lekker week wees.
@apple: problem is not with having an “elite” system, but how it is managed. Many players better than this team, but quota system keeps players in as well as those that are carried through “by name”. It must be obvious from performances in these games that quite a few do not make the grade. How many times did the opposition just run over the smaller players?
19 Aug, 2017 at 16:48
@CharlesZA: dis n travesty dat hy nie gekies is nie, volgens my een van die stand out slotte gewees op die cw
19 Aug, 2017 at 16:52
@Stier: het jy nie my chommie odie15 gesien nie, wil graag bietjie chat met hom oor daai Greyt game wat op die markotter gespeel was
19 Aug, 2017 at 16:53
@Smallies: Jy maak ‘n goeie punt. Jy kan soos wildeklawer meer groot feeste hou waar die top skole mekaar vat. Los CW vir die kleiner skole. So kan die diamant in Piketberg nog steeds gesien word.
19 Aug, 2017 at 16:55
Met hierdie politiek sou Francke (wat volgens my die kaptein sou wees) dalk die 7 trui gekry het op die beste. Ek weet nie waarom mense so “hype” maak oor die KES spelers onderandere Travis nie want PJ “Pot” van Monnas is ‘n beter 8 as hy. So kan ons ook aangaan met Richardson en Pepsi bo ‘n spelers soos Marcel.
Ek is ook seker Sharks het oor die R300000,00 spandeer op ‘n slot wat nie in die lynstane kan spring nie.
@Smallies: Maar hy weeg nie 125kg en staan nie heeldag op die vleuel nie.
19 Aug, 2017 at 17:04
@Smallies: Ek was vandag op markotter gewees. Prg het moeilike tye wat voorle. In die hoof game het Grey se o/15 D span 35-13 gewen en nee daar is nie ‘n foto by die telbord deur een van die twee spanne geneem nie.
19 Aug, 2017 at 17:07
@CharlesZA: daai issie n slot se job nie, n slot het vier jobs op die veld 1 druk in die scrum 2 spring in die lynstaan 3 clean by die rucks 4 tackle dis al en daai janco doen hulle al vier baie goed
19 Aug, 2017 at 17:09
@chief: Politiek maak al ons rugby dood. Francke was nie eers as WP CW kaptein gekies nie. Dit sou my glad nie verbaas het as hy nog sou moes slot gespeel het nie.
@Stier: ek gaan n ding hier paste wat ek op fb gelees het ek dink dit stel hierdie jaar se sa skole span in perspektief
Net ‘n laaste gedagte oor ons SA-skole rugbyspan! Terwyl Grey/Paul Roos sprankelrugby speel op n stampvol Markotter Stadium, verloor die SA Skolespan hulle 3de game in n ry – 52-22, met net hulle ouers op die pawiljoen. En net om te wys dis nie net hulle aanval en verdediging wat suck nie, steek hulle SA verder in die skande met dissipline – dat die ref moet sê: Nobody talks to a ref like that – more so a child of your age….. Dis wat gebeur as politici jou span kies!
19 Aug, 2017 at 17:27
@Smallies: Ek is net bly jy het dit gese en nie ek nie. Maar dit is ongelukkig die waarheid. Toe ek daar langs die veld staan toe dog ek ook so by my self daai Grey seuns sou veel eerder hier saam met hulle maats hulle laste Grey game wou speel en dit is hoe dit hoort. Daai seuns kom al jare saam en hulle is “broers” teen die tyd. Dit wys net hoe min respek SARU vir die kinders en die skole het. Of hulle verstaan net eenvoudig nie die tradisies van skole rugby nie wat nog erger is.
19 Aug, 2017 at 17:47
Kom ek sê jou waarom was Francke nie die kaptein nie, daar was ‘n opdrag deur Thelo Wakefield dat hy ‘n gekleurde kaptein by die WP Skole soek.
19 Aug, 2017 at 17:54
@chief: Ek sien die Ruperts het daai kraan so stryf toe gedraai by die WP dat selfs van hulle ander borge nou ontrek. Thelo gaan ‘n deal met die Guptas moet maak as hy nog ‘n unie met geld wil he.
19 Aug, 2017 at 18:05
@Stier: nou hoe gaan hulle nou rikus se kontrak betaal
19 Aug, 2017 at 18:12
@Smallies: Kan hy perlemoen duik? ‘n Duikpak by cash converters en hy sal fine wees?
19 Aug, 2017 at 18:22
@Smallies: As Pollsmoor hulle internet rekening betaal het en hy vanaand op nagskof opdaag is ek seker odie15 iets te sê sal hê. Oor die wedstryd, dit wat mens verwag van 2 top skole. Geluk GCB!
19 Aug, 2017 at 18:26
Ja dit klink vir my Adidas en WP/Stomers gaan paaie skei. Glo nie dit het veel met geld te doen nie. Ek weet net nie hoe Thelo die R40milj gaan kry nie.
19 Aug, 2017 at 18:27
@Stier: daars nie perlemoen in loch logan nie…
19 Aug, 2017 at 18:30
@meleond: dit was n riller hoor PRG het sterk begin en ster geeindig het nog net een ander game die jaar gekyk wat so taai was, en hy was twee weke terug in die Paarl gespeel
19 Aug, 2017 at 19:04
@Smallies: Perlemoen is amper soos ‘n baber net heeltemal anders.
19 Aug, 2017 at 19:08
@Stier: babers issie vir sussie nie
19 Aug, 2017 at 20:37
@chief: Miskien Nuweland verkoop?
19 Aug, 2017 at 20:40
@Smallies: Was beslis. Goeie vertoonvenstre vir skole rugby. Kon ń 15 tal uit die twee spanne kies wat moontlik meer kompiteerend sou wees vandag teen Engeland!
19 Aug, 2017 at 21:39
Ek het vanaand uitgevind dat WP ‘n nuwe borg het wat glo die gelde gaan dek (‘n konstruksie maatskappy) kom ons wag en sien maar. As alles reg loop vir die Grey manne behoort Rikus, Christopher, Marcel (hopelik), Henk (hopelik) en Janco (hopelik) by WP gekontrakteer wees.
19 Aug, 2017 at 21:44
Ek wil nou nie verskonings maak nie, maar dis vir baie mense nie duidelik hoe hard en effektief Engeland vandag verdedig het nie. Ek het bietjie deur die ouens se “profiles” gegaan en gesien dat baie van die ouens saam as O16’s gespeel het teen ander lande.
Ons kan heeldag en nag baklei oor wat die probleem is (quota, politiek, afrigters, keurders) maar op die ou einde van die dag is hierdie jaar groep nie vir my sterk nie.
19 Aug, 2017 at 21:47
@chief: dis nou nie die nuus wat n die hard vrystaat ondersteuner wil hoor nie, cheetahs kon doen met henk en Christopher
19 Aug, 2017 at 23:19
@chief: exactly – they go through the whole thing at u 16 level – singing of the anthems etc, so putting on a national jersey is nothing new. and most of them will play both school and club rugby, the former providing the tradition/competition and the latter the more professional training (hence it will be “wellington college and harlequins” next to their names). still believe that if you select a strong core of a team from school through province to sas you have a better chance – if it is too widely selected in conditions that will suit in particular european teams with players that “excelled” on the high veld you will struggle.
19 Aug, 2017 at 23:59
@apple: Correct me if I am wrong, but this series is in it’s 6th year and to before this year we have lost only a single match. There is no doubt that we still have the players to compete, but we are not bringing all of the correct players ithrough the system. We have a system thats identifies a 13 year old and believes that he will be the same player at 18. We need to get more players into the system, not just an elite few. From what I saw in todays PRG vs GCB game, we should be able to field multiple equal strength SAS teams.
20 Aug, 2017 at 00:08
@chief: As ek bloot net na CW kyk, dan stem ek saam oor jou sterkte stelling,, maar as jy daai stelling moet maak vanuit skole rugby wat ek gekyk het deur die jaar, dan sal ek eintelik wil verskil.
20 Aug, 2017 at 02:29
I might be wrong but kids finish school in England at 16. After that they can go to college to do their “grade 11 and 12”. If they want to play sport as a pro they can start much younger than in SA. Our boys are still at school and then they only get a limited time together plus all the other political box’s that need to be ticked. It is probably a miracle that we can compete at all. We should leave this whole comp. A amateur system is always going to struggle against a pro system. Our school system don’t allow us to do things like they do in Europe.
20 Aug, 2017 at 04:14
@Smallies: ping!!!!!! Here I am what can I help you with? My wish didn’t come true….and As expected the true Greyt people arrived at Markotter I am told!!!! But you know that already. Should we save our breathe and deletey May from the calender and make you #1 ?
20 Aug, 2017 at 06:39
@odie15: Jissie man jy moes gevra het vir dag parool, jy het n game van greyt perposies gemis, ek se jou… jinne dit was greyt daar in Stellies iemand het tot n foto van ou dok geneem met n Grey baadjie oor sy arm, dit was n greyt oombik gewees, ons O16 span het goed gewen, jissie dis n klomp greyt ouens daai, en die mighty O15 D span draai toe uit as n dream team huhhhhh, hoe greyt is dit nie ne, any way ek hoop jy het n greyt dag……. Ek weet ek gaan een he Tjorts ou pellie, jy is n greyt sport man…..
20 Aug, 2017 at 07:33
I must say, it was awful and heartbroken to watch the “tjommel”.
Now the excuses of not having the players for long enough to coach them, etc. are pretty lame. Last year we did not lose a match and the coaches had pretty much the same amount of time. That is not to say that the coaches were good last year.
Becuase, it also comes down to the quality of the opposition and own players. I thought the quality of opposition was better than last year, but that the SA Schools crop of 2017 was not as good as last year. It was clear the skills levels were not at the same level as that of the opposition. So, we need to focus more on skills from a very young age – and that requires more intense coaching.
It also does not help if you have players half the size to man up – especially in the backline.
In short, we need more skills coaching, selectors who actually attend school matches around the country (because they are also hamstrung by bad Craven Week selections) and not limit SA Schools to players who play Craven Week) and then give more coaches who know how to mould a team a chance.
20 Aug, 2017 at 10:05
Hierdie span van Engeland en Wales (waarvan ek weet) is gekies twee maande voor die trip SA toe. Twee maande se oefening saam teenoor 4 dae van SA? Dan probeer jy ook jou k@k Blou Bul/SA gameplan met skool seuns wat die bal kan skyf soos NZ afdwing?
Daar is nie “skill coaches” nodig in SA Rugby nie want dan het jy ‘n paar skole wedstryde die jaar gemis. Om hierdie stront maklik op te los moet SARU se quota stelsel en SA Skole net skei. Jammer dat ek dit nou daarna toe vat maar daar was baie wit spelers uitgelos wat beter as die gekleurdes in hul posisie in die SA Skole span. Saam in my opinie spelers soos David Cary, Thaakir Abrahams, Wycliff Vlitoor wat x10000 beter kan verdedig.
20 Aug, 2017 at 10:32
@chief: Ja, span keuses die elite squad en al daai rubbish. Soos jy se ons moet ons skole rugby van SARU weg hou. Ek dink @beet maak ‘n fout om enige SARU comps op die blog te post. Dit is nie meer SBR nie dit is politiek. By die skole word almal op meriete gekies by CW, SAS en o/19 CB is daar politiek betrokke. Ons baklei met mekaar maar ons almal weet wat regtig die probleem is. Ek kyk juis SBR omdat dit nog die enigste ware meriete rugby in ons land is, kom ons hou by die meriete rugby asb. @beet daar is genoeg blogs en websites wat SARU “politiek” rugby volg.
20 Aug, 2017 at 10:34
@chief: Ja, span keuses die elite squad en al daai rubbish. Dit gaan egter nie net oor kwotas nie soos jy seg waar is Thaakir en Cary. Ons moet ons skole rugby van SARU weg hou. Ek dink @beet maak ‘n fout om enige SARU comps op die blog te post. Dit is nie meer SBR nie dit is politiek. By die skole word almal op meriete gekies by CW, SAS en o/19 CB is daar politiek betrokke.

20 Aug, 2017 at 11:41
@Beet,Wil jy nie asb elke Topic asb eers vir @Stir stuur vir goedkeuring voor jy dit post nie.SAS,CW ens het mos niks te doen met sbr nie.Dit vat die aandag net weg van belangrike sake soos interskole en sbr in die Kaap.While you at it plaas somer die Domain oor na Stir toe vir beter content vir ons bloggers…
20 Aug, 2017 at 12:00
Ek verstaan nie hoekom daar nou so ‘n geween en gekners van tande is nie. Spelers soos Janko van Stellenberg en Bleuler van SWD sou by wit spelers oorgevat het en ‘n verskil gemaak het.
Dis ‘n swak jaar maar die afgelope 5 jaar was met dieselfde omstandighede gespeel en dit het goed gegaan.
Die span was verkeerd gekies, die patroon was verkeerd en teen die einde was die manne se moraal laag.
Dis nie die einde van die wereld nie.
20 Aug, 2017 at 12:48
@chief: Ek stem saam, 4 dae is beslis nie genoeg om ‘n klomp diverse spelers saam te smelt nie. Die vraag is dus, as SA Rugby ernstig is oor die reeks dan moet hulle aanpas. Ek verwys na die volgende artikel, SA Rugby to Host Performance Came. My probleem bly by die aantal seuns wat blootstelling kry is beperk. Ek kan nie oortuig word dat die lys, soos in die artikel, die som totaal van elite O18 spelers in ons land is nie.
Daai 3 seuns se name wat jy noem sou volgens my ‘n groot verskil gemaak het aan die SAS span.
20 Aug, 2017 at 13:03
@chief: dink wycliff het gister bewys presies wat n utility back moet wees hy slot seamlessly in op elke posiesie van losskakel tot heel agter, ek dink hy het n blink toekoms voor hom, watter unie hom na matriek kry gaan n yster kry. My eerlike opinie is dat hy n sevens superster kan word as hy wil….. Alhoewel ek dink hy n kookwater buite senter ook sal wees veral met Cois Venter aan sy binnekant
20 Aug, 2017 at 13:24
Smallies se lysie spelers wat die sa skole span sou verbeter asook afrigters
2 Eldon Lots
4 Lakan Grey
7 Reuben Beytel
8 Waqar Solaan
9 Henk Cilliers
10 Wycliff Flitoor
Ek sou Sean Erasmus en Wessel Du plessis afrigters gemaak het
20 Aug, 2017 at 13:29
@chief: dit was nie net 4 dae se oefen. Baie van die ouens kom al 3 jaar saam in ELITE squad. Hulle het elke jaar tye wat hulle saam oefen, ens.
20 Aug, 2017 at 15:19
The Elite squad system was tried and imo it failed. Too many players were picked for the team based on their ‘names’. The other problem is how do you pick BMT players? Some have shown that CW is their limit. This SAS team have broken more players than what it made. Some players selected were the best at CW but failed at SAS. Why pick players out of position? The options the coach had with 28 players were also limited. The game plan coached or lack thereoff must be questioned. Many lessons to be learned from this year. Question will lessons learned this year be used to better next year?

@Hooit: if we selected greyter players then we would have had greyter gameplan! Tarantaal rugby of note!!!! Aaaah yes we found out in May Greyt players don’t appreciate being gretly smashed into the turf and start fumbling the ball! But we did select a few players that shone in Craven Weak. Yes that oak who had the Greyt blazer with Greyt toksak at bliksems paws….

@Hooit: one of the problems with the elite squad system, and specifically the SAS team, pertains to the SARU 2019 objective for number of “previously disadvantaged” players. (In my mind the modern PD is actually “white”). They need to get as many of these “traditional” PD players in the system as possible. But they also need to have some good ” other” players in the squad, which is limited in size due to budget constraints. Problem now comes in with the mix, because the determining factor for positional selection is the “best” PD players. They get selected first. But the best PD players are not necessarily the best players (in some cases they can be, but mostly not). So if those positions are “full” then some very good “other” players are left out. This is particularly applicable to backline players. Quite obvious that some guys have excellent attacking skills, but are not “complete” players with all the skills and attributes (defense, BMT, adaptive ability, aggression, etc.). But then one can say same for some “other” players. Well that is where the politics come in. Big names can unfortunately only be carried so far, then they need to perform. The guys that stay behind, for now, are actually better off. They stay hungry and with right work ethic will get their chance. But then they must be ready. Problem is that many of the poor performers have been signed by unions for big amounts, keeping other potentials sidelined. Moral of the story for players – it is tough because the system is broken and may never be fixed. Play rugby because you love it, because if you put all your eggs in that one basket you probably going to he hungry later.
