Fourie du Preez made his 50th appearance for the Springboks against Australia in Perth and celebrated in the 'boring' fashion of scoring a try.Du Preez's try was the first of the four that contributed to a bonus point victory for the Springboks. Henry and Deans and all the Australian players who labelled the Springboks boring please issue a public apology.
The simple fact of the matter is that Australia and New Zealand just won't accept that South African sport is currently the world dominating force. Our rugby team is setting the standard and our antipodean friends cannot stand this. Stinks of bad sportsmanship if you ask me.
Australia are the bigger culprits in this saga and the instigator for the All Blacks, Graham Henry, is probably not a fair reflection of New Zealanders anyway. Henry is purely looking for an excuse as to why the All Blacks aren't the all conquering team that they can be. While I have nothing against the Australian people, their sportsmen and women are arrogant sore losers. Australian people are lovely, I have cousins and friends in Australia and have visited the country. The people are great but as for their sports personalities I say, "be humble in victory as in defeat, because karma is a bitch!"
Let's not deter too much from the achievements of the current Springbok team. I believe that the current crop will make up almost the whole all time best Boks.
This is my best ever Boks:
1. Os Du Randt
2. John Smit
3. Cobus Visagie
4. Bakkies Botha
5. Victor Matfield
6. Schalk Burger
7. Juan Smith / Andre Venter
8. Gary Teichmen
9. Fourie du Preez / Joost van der Westhuizen
10 Henry Honiball
11. Bryan Hanaba
12. Jean de Villiers
13. Jacque Fourie
14. James Small / JP Pietersen
15. Percy Montgomery / Andre Joubert
So Henry, next time you label the Boks delete "boring" from your list of options.
