Spies has never been my preference. Vermeulen is but he breaks all the time. But to suggest that Elstad is reeady for test rugby at 7 is a bit off the mark.

Why would anyone want Taute at 13 ahead of de Jongh?? What has he done at 13? Nothing. On another front Dewald Potgieter just played himself right into Bok reckoning with his best game in 2 years.

Tell you what Coetzee can get handed off like that once every game because he'll get up and make another 20 tackles in the game.I'd have him before Elstad every day of the week.

Yeah JJ Englelbrecht to me is the most lucky to make the squad. HE hasn't done anything special but I suppose he has been played out of position. Duvenhage: Solid but not spectacular. McCleod: Error prone. They will probably both leave soon because they are no chance. Paarl: A South...

So no Frans Steyn in Meyer's squad does that mean he is not picking him for England? Where is Frans Steyn right now? The frog season is over?

Agree he should be there but ahead of who? I can see the problem though. Not sure how you pick a balanced test back row with Kolisi in it. He is not really a fetcher, not a typically big South African 7 and canlt see him play 8. It's tough one because he is good. Coetzee? Well you cannot...

Can we get out terminolgy straight please? It's called the McSling. Sheesh, attention to detail lads.

Sias would be a damn good guy to chase for the Force.

Jeez that's a big loss. Both at the same time. They have been very good. "We need another team". Paarl you are off your rocks at times :)

With all due respect but to think in South African rugby such contracts are worth the paper they are inked on is a bit naive. I still expect this to end up in court and drag on for months to come.

I reckon Paarl's heathen brothers will drag him back to the Cape but he'll be AWESOME for the Force. Would love him at the Bulls as the next ten after Morne but I would rather see him start anywhere else. So much potential.

True. The players will suffer because of years and years of incompetence, corruption and bad administration. Josh will get a gig next year, as will all the good players in the Lions team. Guys like Doppies will probably head off overseas.

No. Englebrecht's pwn momentum cuased him to turn over while hae was hanging on to Pakalani. Pakalani was just being a silly twat, as again seen with his carry on after beign tackled agaisnt the Stormers.

If this was a Kiwi or Saffer getting off for exactly the same thing this place would have been going collectively off its nut. Just saying like. But I am happy he is off because it was not worthy of a ban. Is it inconsistent with what we have seen? Yes. Will we see someone else banned next...

:D

Meyer Bosman was seen as a great prospect but after that Aussie arsing at Suncorp he became surplus. I remember that game well. Seems he was the scapegoat and that was the end of his career. Never really recovered I reckon. Superbly gifted player. Good guy for the Tjorks on the bench though...

Gill is a great pincher of pill but so is Hooper. For mine Hooper is a more complete footballer. Much better running game. Runs very clever lines and is much stronger when taking it up. Therefore: Hooper ~ 2(Gill) (for those who failed math that means Hooper is equal to more or less two...

"But after reviewing the match, SANZAR deemed the tackle reached the red-card threshold and Hooper would need to front a hearing." That would suggest he is goneski. Too bad but they have to maintain some sort of consistency.

Paarl that depends on how much money the Kings have to throw around. Serious? Was that the deal done with ANC to have a white coach?

Not really. The Kings will be associated with the Eastern Province and South Western Districts. I htink these are currently feeders to the Sharks but barely provide players. It has always been the assumption that they are the main provinces to associate with the Kings. The better players tend...
