Bravo Bobby

It’s been a long time since SuperSport did anything with their rugby coverage to impress me…a long, long time!

But the inclusion of Bobby Skinstad onto the panel discussion prior to Saturday’s Test was a master-stroke. The former Bok skipper is eloquent and insightful - adding genuine value.

It’s time to put Naas to pasture and replace him for good!

By the way - this is just one mail that I’ve received on the topic recently:

“Watching “Boots and All” last night I think Naas Botha is definitely past his “sell by” date. He states the obvious most of the time and last night he kept on saying he did’nt see the games because he was away overseas so he couldn’t comment.

I am sure if he took the trouble to ask supersport they would have records of all the games.

It is like the CEO of a company arriving at a board meeting totally out of touch with what is going on in his company.Very un professional!

We need some younger blood with a sense of humour,some more creative anaysis and I am sure there are many waiting in the wings”

    Prior to last years world cup he was a regular Sky Sports TV panel here in the UK for a few years, so he has good experience under his belt.

    I agree, it was a breath of fresh air having Bobby on the panel, but I think he and Naas had a good rapport. I’d say keep Naas and drop Owen Nkumane or Warren “Try-time” Brosnihan for Bobby.

    Robbie Fleck is even better. Saw a lot of him when he was working for Sky and he is brilliant

    enjoyed the way Bob was shooting from the hip though
