Terrible news. Unfortunately living in SA is like a lottery. You have to be 100% on your guard all the time. My first question is did the Lions Union not make sure they assisted their coach in finding a very secure accommodation? I am sure Mitch will be reviewing his situation. Nobody...

If memory serves the players not involved in the final are called into camp early and the squad is finalised after the cc final. Leaves no time for preparation which is part of the reason we have been struggling a bit on tour in the last couple of years. Other than a useless as fuck coach of course.

PS. rusbbish is an extreme form of rubbish

I wish they would stop ruining my Saturday morning oatmeal. Who is Melissa Woods? Possibly another journo who knows shit but is allowed to write about rugby as long as it make League look good. She talks about a fucking exodus back to league from rugby. Either she is taking the piss or...

Apparently a clean break that required no surgery so he will be ready come Super 14.

More evidence that PdV is backtracking with the conditioning staff trumpeting over what wonderful shape players are in. Looks like he will squeeze every last ounce of life out of what he has rather than take soem risk and grow the player pool...

Seems PdV will bactrack on his idea of resting players. He is under huge pressure to win and won't (can't) back his coaching ability to pull through but hope the old guard can pull it off. Whatever happens, I hope at least Matfield and Habana remain behind. Paarl what;s the news on...

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=munter Ok I have been found out. It's all in there. A few hundred explanations. My personal favorite has to be: "The word used to describe a truly hideous beast of a woman." I therefore retract "munter" and present "bugger".

Lol I seem to think in SA it is used as slang for a "big ugly nasty bugger". I could be wrong, or half right, depending who you ask. :) If I am wrong I will play "English is my third language" card as is usually convenient ;)

I saw that rumour being refuted a while ago. Can't find any official reference to it. There was a strong rumor that John Smit was going to the Lions but he denied it. Both the brothers have existing contracts I think. Paarl could confirm this. The real contracting process starts after the...

Interesting notion. I regularly bumped into an ex Wallaby forward at gym in the off season and when I asked him if he was training for explosiveness he said no, he is on an aerobic training plan. He was stopping and starting a lot, typical interval training but not so much endurance. Made sense...

You sound like my wife. I am only ever wrong or half right. Actually the Bulls would be the worst example to support your argument. Their primary combo at 12 and 13 is Olivier and Jaco Pretorius. Both ar big, straight running, hard tackling players and play like a loose forward at the ruck (I...

Yes but do you need one guy on your coaching staff to teach just that? I doubt that. Baffling appointment. Maybe he studied the stuff he wasnlt good at so hard that he's brilliant at telling other people how to do it?

I seem to recall from one of the All Black biographies I read that Tana and Mitchell weren't the best of friends. The Lions don't really need a centre. The need more locks, loose forwards and hookers.

Bruce: 1. Interesting that about the Bulls. For the first time this year they emphasised cardio vascular fitness more than power (up those parts real men don't run, they move cattle around :). It paid off because they actually managed to squeeze out a few wins other teams would not have, and...

Interesting but as I was watching my recording the final I though jeez, these guys play like the Bulls. I see a lot of similarities and if you gave me Bruce's write up with no team name in it and asked me "who plays like this" I would have said the Bulls and the All Blacks. Which is...

I don't know if that's good or bad. So we'll have five coaches. Who's the boss? Who makes the final calls? Look forward to see job descriptions. Re Steenkamp - that's terrible. Just as he has come good. Opens the door for the Beast or to move CJ to his best position of LH and I hope they give...

Which sites? Ones I used last year no longer seem to have the cc.

Stade used to have these jerseys because they beat everyone and felt they could do as they liked. Now they lose most of the time and look like a bunch of poofs in pink. Love some of the designs though.

Paarl I tole you to go home early. Now you have to go home with your tail between your legs :) Rusty - where do you watch the games? Online?
