    The Kings are in!

    Player movement is going to be interesting. Will the best Lions players go to PE on a one year contract? I think not. They will look for certainty. Top players: Cilliers - likely to got back home to Durban. Damn good player with a big future. Perfect for Charks as a bench prop and occasional...

    2012 Rugby Championship Game 1 South Africa vs Argentina - 18 August

    I doubt we will ever see Bekker and Kruger together except if one of them comes off the bench. They are both seen as no 5's. It would be worth a go though.

    Sarel Pretorius coming home?

    "trapped" in this case ="flattened" / "stepped on" :)

    2012 Rugby Championship Game 1 South Africa vs Argentina - 18 August

    Kirchner. Shit. Surely we have seen enough by now. Grant it Lambie was poor in the final but shit. No Jantjes on bench at home so we are unikely to see him in this TRC at all. Meyer has all but given the commitment to Steyn that he won't drop him. That's what I read in his comments lately...

    2012 Rugby Championship Game 1 South Africa vs Argentina - 18 August

    I fear I am slowly starting to lose touch with some of the ins and outs of SA rugby so we need Paarl for the finer details. I read this weekend that the next week will be telling for the Lions. Honestly there have been so many rumours going around that it's impossible to know what to believe...

    2012 Rugby Championship Game 1 South Africa vs Argentina - 18 August

    enforcer HM has spoken highly of Vermeulen and inidicated that he has the type of attributes that he wanted in an 8. I reckon had he not been injured he would have been given a chance against the Poms. I hope he gets a crack and smokes it.

    So no replacement in the squad names for Spies which suggests that HM might still be hoping he can get Kankowski back or if Duane Vermeulen comes through a couple of Currie Cup games he will be fast tracked. In the meantime I am more than happy to see Keegan stepping up.

    2012 Rugby Championship Game 1 Australia vs New Zealand - 18 August

    Watch this space. Odd things have happened in rugby. Unfortunately I think Steyn will do okay against the Argies, which will prolong the inevitable.

    The Yellow Card Poll

    How many cards has McCaw had in his career in various comps? I'd love to know that stat. Two, three, four at a puuuuuuuuuuuuusssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

    Springbok Rugby Championship squad

    AlexH I'd like to see that when it's done. So for now we can say: 1. Goosen can kick goals like Steyn (and has been better this year). 2. He may or may not be as poor a defender as Steyn. 3. He kicks better than Steyn out of hand in 2012 which was not hard but Goosen kicked some pearlers. 4...

    Anyway back on topic it seem Etsebeth could be fit so we won't see Bakkies. I hope so.

    Springbok Rugby Championship squad

    A 2nd five in his debut year missed on average a tackle a game. Whoopee doo. And he plays for a team that relies on scramble defense because their structure is totally fucked. That is not a bad defender. I'd like to see those other stats. But let's see Goosen play a season before we get...

    The Yellow Card Poll

    May I just point out to all the frantic voters in the latest poll that Burger is out for the season and until last week was considered almost no chance for TRC anyway. Apparently 92+19 people didn't know this. I guess this goes back to the journalism (or lack thereof) thread as another example...

    Where to for quality Rugby journalism???

    Really I find it annoying that seemingly all there is to write about rugby in this country involves silly little rumours. Growden writes a rugby gossip column. What the farque? Hello? How about some RUGBY NEWS? Oh and to get back to the original question, the answer is "At the local...

    He has enough wingers and needs 13 cover?

    Quite the contrary. What has me more excited than his kicking and running game is his physicality. Not shy to tackle at all. Not sure where you got that from.

    Fark. Eight weeks for Pietersen. Broken thumb. More of a long term worry is Burger. Seems he is having big problems. There is talk about Bakkies Botha coming back because of the Etzebeth injury. I must say he looked good in Toulon but fuck me I have had enough of his ugly mug in a Bok jumper.

    Lambie likely at 15. God I wish Jantjes would get the start

    I really don't think Brussow has recovered properly from hist knee and subsequent hamstring injuries. He always gets rushed back too quickly. I hope he gets managed better.
