Rugby cHampionsHip

Hard to assess just how good or bad the Pumas are but wow what ax citing talent coming through in the Boks. The upcoming games against the Kiwis and Austin should be awesome.

One swallow don't a summer make . . .but nice start. I reckon the vuvuzelas pacified the Pumas.

1) Rookie Springbok Trevor Nyakane has been dropped from the national squad for "repeated breaches of team protocol".

2)Van Zyl comes in for seasoned scrumhalf Fourie du Preez, who is not available for the overseas legs of Rugby Championship.

Would like to know what he did wrong. Maybe Beast can 'coach' him a bit Meyer has balls to make such a call as this can lead to big 'racial issues' again.

Can't understand why SARU can't sort something out with the Japanese club to allow FdP to play all matches. :S

Springbokke sal geeeeeen game verloor nie , Meyer het hier n span wat die beste ooit kan wees, ons het diepte , en die youngsters is briljant , wanneer laas het ons n span gehad wat jy nie kan besluit wie op die bench moet wees nie? Ek kan geen speler uitsonder wat nie in daai 22 moet wees nie .Hoeveel meer driee kon ons nie druk as die "luck" aan ons kant was nie. Die All blacks en skaapstekers se moer !

Uitstekend , -D

Cape Town - National coach Heyneke Meyer says the door is not shut on prop Trevor Nyakane to make a return to the Springbok squad.

The 24-year-old was on Sunday axed from the Bok squad for disciplinary reasons, with official word from the Bok camp saying he "repeatedly breached team protocol".

The Cheetahs prop missed a flight to the Bok training camp last week and also missed a video session without permission.

He is also unfit, and sources close to the team said his "constant eating" is a big concern for the Bok coaching staff.

Meyer, however, said the talented Nyakane can come back into consideration if he improves his discipline and commitment.

"The ball is now in his court," Meyer told the Beeld website.

"I must mention that I'm disappointed in him, but not angry. He let the team down. I told him it's unacceptable when he arrived late (for our training camp) in Johannesburg. Then, when he also arrived 15 minutes late for our video session, I told him that was the last time.

"He would have been in the team for the match at FNB Stadium, but I didn't pick him due to disciplinary reasons. After our last team meeting in Johannesburg I told him he is a gifted player and I will take him along on tour, because he needs this touring experience. He would not have played on the tour due to disciplinary reasons, but it was a lesson he had to learn.

"I told him to go to his room and that we would see each other the next morning (Sunday) and then depart. But then he also missed the team's flight.

"If he wants to play for South Africa again, he must improve his discipline and work on his fitness."

Meyer said he is confident Nyakane will emerge a better player from this experience.

"It's not as though he got drunk and hit someone. But if I make exceptions, then he won't learn. Discipline is non-negotiable. I didn't want to make this public, but Trevor must now take responsibility for his actions. He immediately admitted he was wrong.

"(But) I'm sure he'll come back a better player. But when that will be, will depend on him," said Meyer.

all blacks to win again

South Africa will be in for a shock if the rugby crowd are anything like the football crowd that goes to that stadium. Its a small ground and very intimidating. SA should win but nowhere near the result that they achieved last week. Mendoza is close to Chile so it was a long trip and that could also be a huge factor
