Boks will be lucky to make QF's

I fully hope to be wrong however I think we will be lucky to advance further than the quarter finals. I think HM had the wrong approach holding on to his golden oldies past their best instead of working with the amazing talent that we have and building up a younger team (consider his weird call ups to no offence but certain hasbeens). Our Boks were very jaded and uninspiring last year. It took everything we had to beat NZ once and we are better than that. We need to field a team full of passionate players like Duane. It is a privilege to play for your country and your position shouldn't be determined by an old boys network from 2007.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
