@BokAvenger "Don't understand the lover affair with Josh Strauss"

I actually rate him quite high, but am realisitic; that's why I have him at 7 (as opposed to 8). Additionally, he's got the type of game that won't falter, no matter the level. And your question in regards to Kieren Reid vs Josh Strauss?? Depends where they are on the pitch. Reid won't go over him, I'll bet my home on that one.

@JamieTheProp - You have more chance of falling pregnant than England beating the Boks at home. Put the cap back on the cheap whiskey bottle.

@ martinmarais78: Listen, you need to get over your ridiculous, baseless and completely irrational hatered for the Sharks now, because it is getting beyond tedious. I will personally start a petition to Planet Rugby to have you removed from these discussions if you don't stop this childish nonsense. I am a Stormers supporter, but after nearly two years you are driving me insane with your incessant nonsensical drivel about anyone and anything from the Sharks. I don't know if some girl from Natal dumped you long ago or what, but your lame excuses for having such an obsessive compulsive dislike for the Sharks just don't cut it. Don't try and make it off as being a joke either, because for it to be a joke it has to be funny on some level. You just torture us with your mindless whining every freakin' day the Sharks feature - you are adding nothing constructive to the discussions or arguments. The funny thing is, when you're not off Sharks-hating you actually have some good points - why don't you start acting like an adult and drop the bullsh!* This is a rugby forum. Keegan Daniel and Patrick Lambie are BLOODY GOOD rugby players. If you can't see that, you don't belong on a rugby forum.

Don't understand the lover affair with Josh Strauss. Sure, he'll run into a brick wall for you all day but that doesn't mean he's Springbok material. One of the kiwi commentators actually summed him up perfectly: "You get the feeling he's carrying a lot of injuries." And that is exactly the problem with Strauss - more heart than talent. It's not a criticism....it's just that at test level you can't survive by being a journeyman. The more talented guys on the field will expose you. Think about it...Kieren Reid vs Josh Strauss. I think we all know which one is the test player and which one is the club player.

I like the mix of players, all in all. But to keep in line with the overall objective, my lineup would be:

1.Beast 2.Bis 3.Jannie 4.Etzebeth 5.Bekker 6.Brussouw 7.Strauss 8.Spies 9.Hougaard 10.Steyn 11.Habana 12.JDV 13.de Jongh 14.Basson 15.Pietersen

Strauss is tough as leather but doesn't get caught up in emotion. A solid, heady player. I like Alberts coming off the bench, does better when he's strong and others are suffering.

@martinmarais78: You could do with some psychoanalysis to explore your relationship with the Sharks. What was your childhood like . . . ?
