Springboks vs Australia

Was very fortunate to watch the delayed game on sabc between South Africa and Australia. I have some comments and would appreciate if this could also be forwarded to Heineke Meyer

Yes we have and still have problems with our kicking section of the game . But never in South African rugby history have I seen such a dedicated and team effort in any rugby game . Our youngsters have proved that there is talent in South African rugby after all. I see a big and bright future in the years ahead. Not one player have failed on Saturday . Where they missed out on their kicking ability they made up by putting their hearts , minds and souls to the game. Bryan Habana have proved himself once again. But who do we singled out for being the hero of the day. Yes there is one person , and that is the Springbok Team. It was a collective stress free game where the supporters won. They saw 22 dedicated and true trustworthy Springboks taking to the field and winning the hearts of the supporters.

I now fear the heads of the old established players on the injury list . How will they be able to return to the game. These youngster has proved beyond any doubt that they have the heart to take on the world . Long gone is the day where your average springbok debut on age 23 or 24 . The academy of raising young sportsmen has proved 20 to 21 is a ripe age to start an international career. We have high hopes for the forthcoming world cup. The masses in South Africa  was surprised by the immensity and courage our young springboks and forgotten real supporters are now back being the supporters of South African rugby.  

If the selectors play their cards correctly it is going to be more and more difficult to select a team . We have so many talented players with the same abilities and strength that will make selection so more difficult.

On a lighter side My Lions team are still on their way to successful defending of their Currie cup title and that also makes me a double happy supporter.
