Cannot wait to see the Boks v Ireland and France on this tour. I can hear the excuses already since Boks have neither De Villiers or Steyn since they are playing in Ireland and France. It seems that the old quote is true of the Boks now - you don't beat them, just score more points than them! Is there any Bok suppotrer on this website who will give the Leicester 2nd team some credit for their great win?

Oh give me a break Abenzed. South African rugby has no depth? How many quality players are in Europe alone? If we were prepared to select players who played overseas our player pool would be a lot greater. Just in the UK we have BJ Botha and CJ van der Linde who would walk into any European side.

The biggest issue though are the quota systems. Chilli, Guthro, Maku, Rose, Nokwe, Rauebenheimer, Ndungane...these guys would not even be 3rd or 4th stringers if we did not have to select sides based on quotas. You guys get to pick the best players based on merit alone. We dont have the luxury, yet we still have two world cup wins and record that is the best in the history of the game after the all blacks.

Before readmission, we had the best record and would probably still have it if not for politics.

This was a crap South African side that got beaten by a second rate club side. Some of those "Boks" cant even make their provincial sides. Seriously. Put this nonsense into perspective.

I don't know why Strauss (#2) (Cheetah's Captain for the Currie Cup Final against the Bulls) and his teamate WP Nell?, the number 3, very good tighhead aren;t in the Bok squad, they are plain hard.

What did you expect Mr.Muir. Your second best fronrow was watching TV on Saturday. Why still bother with Steenkamp? Why Van Der Merwe as reserve Prop. Did you not see the match between the Sharks and the Cheetahs? What happened to your number one frontrow, and where is the blokes that beat them on that day? So what is your problem. What did Raubenheimer do on the pitch on Friday, because he did not know.

Shows the Boks have no depth past their No 1 team... as many "experts" have been saying for some time. Outside of the Bulls, Sharks in S14 rugby their teams are weak so looks like they have 15-20 true international players then are very exposed after that.???
