Southcoast, what can I say? Your beginning to get tiresome with typical pom whingeing.
Yeah sure, you once had an empire...seems you also once held the rugby world cup.
Please take note, England has played in six RWC's and won once, SA have played in four RWC's and won twice. We now have the best "strike rate" beating even Australia who, like yourselves, been there six times to our four. At least the Aussi's won it twice in that time. Also, they were much more gracious in defeat in 2003 than you seem able to be.
We have enough talent here to put together another world beating side and we have enough decent coaches too. No need for us to be importing players at all. Oh, by the way Mr Southcoast, Sir, it seems we had an all SA Super 14 final this year too and our Springbok C team gave the AB's and Wannabees a run for their money, in their own countries too, nogal, in the Tri-nation series. We also lost three (3) first choice players in Jean De Villiers, Pierre Spies and BJ Botha, we then lost Schalk Burger to a dubious citing and still managed to thrash you guys 36-0 in the pool match! Maybe this might give you a hint as to the depth of SA rugby? Seems we just may be able to succesfully defend the trophy in 2011 which is something our proud(not) "mother country"
could not do!
