Tin Ears in afrikaans = BlikOre = Cauliflower Ears in rugby terms. They produced some fattie (props) legends in the good old days and thats where the name come from.

Sorry a tramped condense milk tin (their supporters actually wear them around their heads tied) look like a cauli ear.

Wrong thread I know but I distinctly remember in round 1 & 2 that this buddy running was a feature of the Tah game.

Has Link announced his team yet? Can't help but think that my earlier observation won't be too short of the mark.

Tin Ear team
Riaan Viljoen, Philip Snyman, Robert Ebersohn, Corné Uys, Wilmaure Louw, Sias Ebersohn, Tewis de Bruyn, Ashley Johnson, Philip van der Walt, Heinrich Brüssow, Wilhelm Steenkamp (k), Martin Muller, WP Nel, Ryno Barnes, Coenie Oosthuizen.
PLAASVERVANGERS: Skipper Badenhorst, Lourens Adriaanse, Francois Uys, Kabamba Floors, Sarel Pretorius, Naas Olivier, Fabian Juries.
Juries paid the price for his defensive effort against the Tahs and Uys (who played for the Stormers a few seasons ago) in the injured Strauss place. The star of the Tah show, Sarel Pretorius still on the bench because of rotation policy. Good to see the x Paarl Gym and Matie capt fattie, Lourens Adriaanse on the bench. Lourens is the younger brother of Jacobie who plays Vodacom for the Lions.

Who was the 15 against the Tah's with the big boot? If he's still fit things are going to be much tighter.

I wasn't too far away although I am surprised that both Quirk and Gill have been dropped out of the 22. Schatz must be the back up openside, and he definitely needs game time before the SA tour.
Good to see that there hasn't been too much tinkering with the side that won by lots last week. Tapuai needs to make every post a winner this weekend.

I know Taps was quite average vs the Rebels, but he didn't do anything god-awful or have any ridiculous brainsnaps. I'm happy for him to have another chance as he has the talent for sure...but again I just don't know about it being at 13.
I noticed the reshuffling in the Reds game when various people came on and off has Taps, Fainga'a and Ioane all playing 13 at some point.

Just noticed that this is a charity fundraising game for the zig zag foundation, and that kids get in for free with an accompanied adult.

It appears Van the Man and QC (Quade Cooper) are some of their ambassadors.

pretty impressive that the Reds have over 150 super rugby caps of experience sitting on the bench for the forwards.
That sort of statistic has been missing for the Reds in previous seasons.

Good side and great for Schatzy but disappointing for Gill and Quirk - probably means they may not be off to the Republic - happy to see Taps get another crack
I think people have been a bit harsh on Taps. While he didn't do anything spectacular the other night he didn't get many chances. I think he deserves another go but like many here think he would be better at 12.
Great to get Kev back but it is harsh on AWH. He was great for the Reds last weekend and really put the Rebels on the back foot by stealing quite a few lineouts. Thought he was close to best on ground.

Not sure that anyone has been too harsh on Taps. He was played out of position and at times that looked pretty evident. Most of us are hoping he has a blinder at 13, or else gets time at 12 to show his skills off to best advantage.

They take 26 on tour don't they? That would more than likely the 22 playing on Saturday plus four others. Gill and Quirk would both be a big chance to be in the 26.
