The Boks have struggled to be dominant in the scrums ever since the 20th of October 2007. Yes...exactly, besides it being my lovely girlfriend's birthday, thats the day we won the World Cup.
Our scrums have been suspect, actually terrible and we were out-scrummed by abo Italy and Wales, hectically, hayi kancane. Realistically, against the AB without Carl Heyman and Sommerville, the Boks were expected to walk over the AB front row. But it seems we have gone back to the drawing board. There is clearly no excuse. Everyone is talking about the emission of BJ Botha on tour, but to me thats nonsense and thats not were the issue is. BJ was also outscrummed by Jenkins in the Welsh test, so okes should not get too happy.
With a situation like this, if i were DiV, I'll dial +27 51 000 0000. Yes, you got it right, 051 is a area code for Bloemfontein, he might be lucky to get through coz the network is very bad, especially in the rural and isolated bushes of Verkeerdevlei, a wheat farming region. But who the f@#$ is in Bloemfontein....Yes you got it right again. A 160kg rotand and heavily obese chap who has two World Cup medals in thatched cabinet.
The great Ox should be macked into making another surprise comeback in test rugby. He is very much needed in that Boks engine room. All it takes is to bring him to the Cape and make him run up the mountains for a solid month to shed that 40kg chunk of useless fat....then we're all sorted, hundreds!!
He is "only" 35 years old and still mobile, well at least i hope so. He showed during last year the value of having expereince in the front row and ever since his departure, that gap is being felt.
He has been voted as the greatest losehead prop in the World XV team of the century, along rugby greats like Frik Du Preez, Keith Woods and John Eales. That experience needs to be rubbed off to abo Mujati and the Beast who greatly require it. So yah, lets all unleash the greatest mack daddies of this world to help bring back the scrum doctor to fix our front row niggles.
Ox for President!
