The "Boks"

I use that word in the heading with a little bit of caution. Please note, the 15 men that were on the field on Saturday should, in no way, be called the Boks. Old men who are fat and slow, sounds more le they were.

Are those the best 15 rugby players in South Africa?

Simple question that needs a simple answer. OK, let's give Jake a little bit of credit and let's rephrase the questions.

Are those the best non-injured 15 rugby players in South Africa?

If they are and they were then we (the rugby loving public) are seriously screwed. Not to mention those 15 poor overweight, sad and argumentative men on the field.

NZ put on thier worst side in ages and the boks (small b intended) still get klapped.

My wife asked a good question yesterday. She wanted to know why Percy is still playing. Percy was playing rugby when Francios Pienaar was out winning the World Cup. Percy has seen the rise and fall of Booby Skinstad. Percy has seen an all white side followed by an Ethnically Correct side followed by a missed tackel. Percy has seen Wales and Province and the Sharks. Twice.
And we still can't find someone who is better, faster, quicker and stronger than Percy? How much are we paying for rugby development in South Africa exactly?

Of all the men in South Africa who want to play rugby, I bet we can find one, just one, who is better than Percy. In fact, I will donate all my next month's eraning to the charity of your choice if we can't find an entire 15 who can play better than those 15 who were at Loftus on Saturday.

I know it, you know it and the crowd who were walking out 20 mnutes early knew it.
