Yup Scarf you beat me to it. If you look at the variety of sports kids can choose now and the level of coaching they can get, I see dark days for rugby. Add to that the moms who don't want their boys smashed up and it looks even gloomier. The 6 year olds here have waaayyyy more choice than...

Paarl, rugby is the third code played with an oval ball and it is falling further and further behind Aussie Rules and Rugby League. It's a real issue and whether it's true or not, the perceived lack of "entertainment" from rugby is constantly being talked about in the media and used by the rival...

Not even vaguely surprised. He has a career highlighted by injury. He was a big risk and sad to see it end like this. Force in deep doo-doo.

Some observations on posts in this thread.... The cornerstone of SOUTH AFRICAN rugby is a strong pack, solid kicking game, good counter and power defense. On the local scene, teams like the Stormers play a MUCH more open style, as traditionally has the Cheetahs. Problem is they have been shit...

Not quite the same. Roodt has a S14 contract. Dollie was gunning for a Brumbies academy contract and was doing so becuase he approached the Brumbies.

Got any links? Only report I saw was the SMH one which didn't give much insight. Seems he isn't getting much of a pre-season run which suggests that you may be right,

I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

I know I've said it but Saints lock, Juandre Kruger is the best addition to the Bulls squad in some time (well he is coming back btu I thought he was a massive loss when he left - akin to say Mumm leaving the Tahs). A real backup to Matfield. The Bulls haven't really had an athletic lock backup...

Nice try Scarf. Point is, why not just a plain colored jersey? The answer is - change the thing every year to get more jersey sales.

Why can't it just be....... BLUE. This is what they should be playing in.

Actually that Turkoglu interview makes the interviewer look like an idiot. He asked him the same question twice. Second tiem hHe just said they had balls. Interviewer replies "balls in the hand". :lmao: I've heard much worse from many rugby players, unfortunately. Listen to your average rugby...

Olivier started training last week Spies has been training unless my info is wrong.

To be fair it's all media. Honestly. The crap the Aussie media pulls out of their arse from time to time is every bit as far fetched. It's their job. Unfortunately.

Judged by Phil's demeanour on and off the field in SA he doesn't give a toss what the locals think of him. Some years ago when I still lived in SA I used to train at a gym that visiting Australian teams used. While most of the players went out of their way to be friendly, Waugh stomped around...

Fantastic news about Juandre Kruger. Excellet backup to the Boss and his henchman.

You crack me up man. Seeing as I am obviously unable to laugh at myself I'll just read your posts for my laughs. Waratahjesus and subtle in the same post. You're a right funny guy. Anyhow, I just hope for Phil's sake the Tah back row adapt to the new interpretation real quick or he will have...

If we all knew it, it's not a revelation bnut let's not get too technical. You call ALL South African players cheats and then preach about generalising? Get real son.
