You know the Boks are some team when he is consistently named at 23 or not at all.

He'd walk into any other team in the world at 12.

See Robbie Dean's is coaching this team.

Good way to scout some talent for his Panasonic Wild Knights

If the Baabaas lose, I'm blaming Deans!

Peter O'Mahony must be furious he's in the same team as a crap player like Sam Cane.

Or Hoss to 12, PUJ to 13 and JRK to 15!

@Nepia

Well it's coached by two Cantabs

Be interesting to see how Leicester F goes against Kriel and de Allende

@pakman They should have listed Sotutu at 23 instead of Boshier to really play on that as a mind game

@brodean said in Springboks v Barbarians:

Frizell at 8 over Sotutu. Ffs.

Well he does have Carl Hayman proportions (from the book of Blackdragon).

Jesse Kriel will lead the Springboks against the Barbarians at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday after regular captain Siya Kolisi was ruled out of the match due to a ‘niggle’.

Marco van Staden has been drafted straight into the starting line-up as a replacement for Kolisi

No wonder you're so fat, always thinking of food

The Barbarians have a very good shot at winning this game

Imagine the Fern if Sotutu comes on and plays a blinder....

Jacomb still hurting from last week it seems....2 cold drops already.

Jamine out of position there

Some good D from him there though

What services are streaming this game? Any in Asia?

Ref is killing BaaBaas.

Rugby Pass poss.

Baa Baa's lineout an embarrassment.

Kolbe was a mile offside

Blame Deans.

Are the touchies Bokkes?

Leicester's been poor. JRK has gone OK. After a shaky start, Jacomb did OK.

The Baabaas got utterly humped.

@Victor-Meldrew said in Springboks v Barbarians:

Leicester's been poor.

Didn't watch the whole game, but what I did see looked hesitant, slow and rather lost. Maybe he thrives under structure - fingers crossed, as he's likely going to be in the ABs very soon if @Chris-B is still a selector.

Well thats a bummer then, was hoping for better from LF
Any standouts?

Highlights

The Baabaas played like they'd been on the beers all week, the Springboks played like they'd been on the juice.

@Darren said in Springboks v Barbarians:

JRK looked solid. Good on D and made a few turnovers. Lachlan Boshier was carded for a head contact but was terrific - particularly the breakdown. Jacomb started with a 'mare but had a pretty good game considering his pack was going backwards much of the time.

Bit of a one-sided shit game really.
