@BokAvenger... I can't agree about Mike Phillips; he's aggresive, often too aggresive (on and off the field!) and is all too willing to get stuck in to a ruck. The result of that is he's often buried when the ball emerges and the likes of Adam Jones have to suddenly play scrum half!

Michtymauler - the Welsh already have funny accents. What they'll pick up in SA is a more manly accent

Jesus calm down. He's been here for ages, we've got a load of injuries, Copeland is irish, @5lock4ward Ryan Jones is injured. @carpelone 'without raising a sweat'? How so? @Michtymauler - like all the other SAs in the Wales team - who are?

The guys probably not going to get a cap, so you can all stop shouting at the wall. Sure he's a bit annoying in his interviews, but he works very hard and will get more gain line meters than Bearman ever would. @rustytrumpet - Bearman is English anyway, as unwelsh as Pretorius.

Suggestions for young Welah players wanting to play for Wales

1. Turn on laptop

2. Log log on to cheap SA holidays.com

3. Bol three week hols to Jo burg

4. Come home with funny accent

5. Let the WRU hear you speak

Congrats!! You're now selected for Wales cos you're obviously much better than Welshmen!! Yah gotta be!! Lol

BokAvenger - not really. He is brilliant for his club (more consistent than he is for England) and, ok he has a quirky dive, but I don't think he is a show boater.

BokA: if Chris Ashton visits a tanning salon he needs to find a better one. Anyhow backs avoiding rucks is not so dumb.

@Craigsman: I'll admit he had a good game in the 3rd test but that's really an indictment of the quality of the match itself. He's not half bad on his day, but you have to admit that he's a complete show pony.

I've heard rumors that Ryan Jones, a born, raised and trained Welshman, has played number 8 in test matches before. Maybe give him a run.

What a joke! Yeah guys we'll take your third stringers no problem cos anyone from there is bound to be better!! Lol. Wales trying to catch up with England and Ireland?? Lol

Bokavenger - Danny Care got Man of the Match in SA for the last test of the June tour in 2012.

Troll

@carpelone tend to agree with you, should have looked at Bearman from the Ospreys first

BokAvenger says...

Not surprised that these guys we've never heard of start popping up in Mud Isle teams. The average 13 year old SA girl is tougher than the showponies produced up there. And before I'm accused of trolling, just bear in mind the likes of Mike Phillips, Gavin Henson, Danny Care, Chris Ashton and Ronan O'Gara. More interested in visiting the tanning salon than getting stuck in at the bottom of a ruck.

Anybody else getting annoyed how much Pretorius talks about wanting to play for Wales. Nobody needs a reminder that you want to play Int'l rugby and aren't good enough to play for South Africa. You already gave about 3 interviews which made it clear.

I think he'll be raising a sweat, he doesnt have a hope of pushing Faletau out of the No 8 shirt, dont even know what hes doing in the squad hes a very average club player. There are better 8s at the blues even never mind Wales, Copeland is a far better ball carrier, dont expect him to even get a look in for the match 23, but then Im irish so what am i talking about hes great you should deffo start him against us instead of that over rated young lad you normally use.......................

Another South African who makes one of the home union teams without raising a sweat.
