    Sounds far less obnoxious than most of the SA fans I know :)

    "My one regret is that we won't get to see the Bulls play the Lions on this tour. But I'll be even happier to beat them with the Springboks this time."

    I'm fscking glad we're not playing the Bulls, there's a good chance they'd destroy the Lions.

    Matfield is a legend, and a top bloke off the field also.

    Really looking forward to seeing whatever Lions second row combo is selected battle it out against Matfield and Botha in the lineout. We absolutely need to secure our own throw.

    Am I reading that right? Just before the World Cup Final, he was more excited about playing the Lions in a few years time.

    Whoa, we're in trouble... This guy is smarting bad from 97.

    Bit of a misleading quote in the OP. Matfield is a nice bloke.

    :rolleyes: After reading the whole article and you quote that line?? Bit misleading especially as it was McBride painting Matfield with the "O'Connell will boss him in the lineouts"
