Thanks mate. Just surfaced from under the doona and its not because of the gold substance but the flu (no swine fortunately). I'm still dumbfounded. What a performance. The most satisfying aspect of the win is that it erases the doubts of 1997. Our Kiwi friends didn't really rate the 1997...

It take exception to all this blasphemy of referring to the supreme horned one as "Blues". You are referring to the ones in Auckaland that play touch rugby. ;D

Hilarious. A woman pained her mom Blue as part of a competition to win tickets. Only in Pretoria Thanks for the well wishes. I am feeling nervous, much more than two years ago where I had resigned to the fact that the Sharks would win in the tank. It's more nerve racking knowing we are in with...

Yup and the coach has said a few times that this is an experimental squad. The real deal comes on Monday. As far as the backline is concerned I think he will learn preciously little from the outing as there are only a handful of those players who should move on to Monday. I hope anyway.

Surely Lattimer has to get a look in. Even if it were on the bench. He has been superb.

Does this apply to me? I have no etiquette. Le Blue

Still think Higginbotham with more game time has great potential. Might need a new brain though, but he can play.

Yeah Bosman. I think he slipped the most tackles in the entire S14 or some such stat? Bradley Barrit. But I think he is back in the UK at Saracens Bosman is really just a case of there being nobody else ion the squad who can play 12 until JdV and Adi are 100% fit (neither ready for 80...

Even though Snor has made it clear that this is all experimental I am worried about that backline though. What can he possible learn from it? Why bring in a leftfield youngster from nowhere on the even of a Lions series? There is no chance he will play so what can possibly be gained? Seems like...

I saw two Bath games on the tele this season and I was really surprised how well he went in the first. He was a bit absent in the second but the Bath pack got smacked that day. I still think he was better than Carter would ever be.

Handbags. Lots of. Worth some money.

Isn't the whole idea to build a squad that can take a team through 14 weeks and with injuries and problems along the way still do enough to win a competition? I am not aware of any sports / comp which allows random drawing of players from a pool as and when needed, unless there is a serious...

Congrats. Can I give you a message to pass on to Growden. Just a little left hook or two, nothing too rude. ;D

So now we hope Snor goes with form. 15 Kirchner 10 Morne Steyn Pienaar on the bench, Januarie drops out Frans Steyn on the bench, Rose drops out Realisitally that's two so-called coloured / black (what's politically correct in SA these days?) players dropping off the bench. Both who Snor...

I don't think the losers should get any points. Ever. Why should you be rewarded for losing? You've lost, weren't good enough. The argument for losing bp withing 7 is the losing team wonlt stop playing. Well if the know they can stop the winning team from getting the 3 try margin bp they will...

I like it. Does two things. Stops teams from defending a lead and doesnlt reward two teams with bad defense leaking loads of tries ala the Blues / Chiefs touch rugby match. Great tries. Horrid defense. Certainly better than the current S14 system that rewards losers which should never be the...

Why Blackadder? Deans got the gig with years of credentials. Blackadder has nowhere near that record and wonlt for years. He seems a good coach though.

Vesty was crap for Leicester and unable to get them any field position in the 2nd half. They never looked like doing anything. My favorite moment was Tuilangi running over Horgan. The backraft actually flipped Horgan over. Now I can also say I have seen Tuilangi actually do something. It's...

Du Randt very much went into the pro era and became one of the best if not the best LH in his prime. He was certainly rated at one time as the best by most international journos and coaches. I don't think our scrum coaching at top level is up to the job. Look at the Bulls front row. They don't...

James Hook added to the squad in the place of the injured Halfpenny. Odd. 10/12 replaces a winger.
