And he goes on to say that the Boks will dominate for a long time to come.
The Afrikaner are great rugby players as the record proves. But today added to that greatness are superb players of colour.
We might not always be number one but we should always be at the top of the game.
The potential pitfalls would include potential political interference, bad coaches and any financial mismanagement.
The biggest pitfall for Bok Rugby is this one dimensional kick and stampkar type rugby we play.
It's still working surprisingly, but for how long can we carry on doing this sustainably?
@DbDraad are you referring to how much better we play stampkar and kick Rugby now??
Our best match in 2019 was the WC final….still the best match any Geraasmus team has played
Apart from the Argies game we are scoring lots of tries etc.
I am not as yet worried on this score.
What the Boks have that no other team have to even remotely the same extent is the winning habit. That is not to be taken lightly. The psychology of belief is worth more than any gameplan. In terms of practicalities, you figure out a way to beat our defense, you're clinical enough to take your chances, you can beat the Boks - Scotland could have beaten us but they blew like 5 red zone chances. But more than that, you need to beat the belief, get the Boks to a point where they doubt themselves like England did in the WC semi '23. Then you're in the pound seats.
The winning habit and self belief didn't happen by accident...it was cultivated...some of it by playing "boring stampkar" rugby...
Exactly Draad. The Boks give it all for the jersey.
