Boardroom Talk – Springbok player ratings; RW Johnson roasts Thabo Mbeki

By Alec Hogg.Haven't the last two weekends been a treat?.Cheering the single-point Springboks victories over France and England has turned October 2023 into a memorable month. And it's not over yet. Our beleaguered nation can keep dreaming – and believing our team's investment in 'Teamwork' and 'Chasing Lost Causes' will deliver its biggest dividend yet on Saturday..___STEADY_PAYWALL___.Before kickoff, we created an RWC Whatsapp Group for Premium members and competition on the Saffer-created, London-based sports platform Superbru (click here for my interview with founder Andy Wood). Both have brought many of us great pleasure, showing sport is even more fun and with interest..The table of Superbru's ratings of Springbok players in those two epic encounters shows a 14-6 underperformance against England compared with France. The ratings are based on a player's impact on the game. For example, players get a point for each five tackles made, one for each two defenders beaten, and so on..Make the ratings what you will. Hopefully, they'll support your contribution to the country's major topic of discussion next week. Oh, and the Superbru science also tells us that if, on Saturday, the Boks play to repeat the French, the Webb Ellis trophy will indeed be staying in SA. If only it were so easy….Sterkte.Alec.PS: Don't miss the superb piece from our tribe's favourite columnist….Read also:.Paul O'Sullivan: Why this new book is a MUST READ for every police officerThe ANC v/s Israel: Ambassador wants dialogue amid calls to shut his embassy, eject him – and boycott Israeli goodsThe Helpmekaar Movement: Afrikaners' historical self-empowerment – Ernst van Zyl
