"Yo Big Pik - I did it!!"

Ja, chaaina!! I did it!! 21 - 20 was good enough to convince the idiotic SA public and media we're on the way to win the World Cup! Whoohoo!!
All I had to do, was to ask at the press conference: "Name the 1 team who has beaten the AB's on two occasions over the last year?"...... (note to self: remember to thank Smittie for helping me remind the public and media about that one...)

I mean, it's not as if Rodney Snot-Koala gifted us with 10 points.. Or, their line out codes were hard to crack.... Or, as if they had the Tri Nations wrapped up ages ago.... Come on!! SA rugby supporters should be greatful for the win!

Pik, you asked me to change the team, and I delivered. Ok, the fact that injuries forced my hand, and I had no choice left but to call on Pedrie and AJ, doesn't matter.... They played really well, but I honestly can't tell you if they'll be included in the squad for the end of year tour. As you know, I don't just hand out Bok blazers! It's bloory expensive!! What about the injured stars, Pedrie and AJ had to replace at such short notice?? Danie Rossouw will be back to full fitness in a couple of weeks, and I know what he has to offer as a loose forward.. I mean, can AJ play lock? Plus, I was tempted to play Albert at 7 in Pretoria the other week. I read somewhere he played flank for Griquas in 1997...

The catch phrase of the week, is "CONTINUITY", Big Pik!! Remember!! And that's exactly why I decided to pick Wynand completely out of position for this weekend's game. He was part of the winning team last weekend, so he deserves to start again tomorrow!! So what if he's playing out of position?? Just be glad Os recovered in time from his injury....
I mean, just to show everyone who's boss, and to mess a little bit more with him, I asked Brent Russell to join the squad in the beginning of the week. But I knew from the start I didn't really feel like including him in the team. So, we released him again yesterday, and he'll be playing Currie Cup rugby instead this weekend. I mean, why play him?? Has he ever scored a try for the Boks at wing?? Or, has he ever ripped the Aussie defence apart before? ?????? After all: Making him stay behind class seemed to have done the trick, 'cause Breyten had a haircut and I've decided to include him instead...
Now, I've included that Pietersen laaitie as well this week... I'm a bit nervous, 'cause I know what we have in Percy at fullback, you know... I hope he is half as good as you keep telling me!!

Ok, gotta run ou Pik... I have to make my way to a press conference now. I've decided to try a different approach this week, to unrattle the Wallabies: Think I'll tell the press that "we're going to target them up front".....
