Elton Jantjies bucks the trend and re-signs with South Africa

Yes they have to keep Joe involved even if it is in some kind of consultant capacity. They badly need that continuity and I'm sure Les Kiss would not object to Joe perched on his shoulder for a season or so...

I agree with just about everything you've said. Schmidt to continue his good work, and if not Joe, then Les...

He knows how to set standards and the players obv respond to that challenge.

They really should back their first fives who have their first season under their belt

Erm, I only had one statement - as in 'only one full stop' so not sure where the 'irrelevance' comes in?

It's another not-so-subtle dig from the old dynasty at any achievements Razor may be credited for.

Roigard in particular was a mind-baffling omission from the finals of the WC. After being the AB's best player against SA in the pre-WC match, he was not sighted in the big games that followed. Roigard is the type of guy who can win a game with a moment of brilliance, yet the established but uninspiring Christie was preferred to close out a close WC final.

So please, Fozzie, spare us the barely veiled laments about your unfair treatment and unseen achievements. The fact you feel you have to point them out is telling in itself. And it shows that despite saying you've moved on, you and your mate Hansen most definitely haven't.
