SBW to the Stormers?

[barbarian]

Are you aware of his stardom in SA IB?

I'm not disagreeing with your statement that he won't go, but if you think SBW is not a big drawcard in SA you are incorrect.

Nasser is a dropkick and so are the stormers for thinking Sonny is anywhere near interested in them. By going to South Africa he would leave his stardom in NZ and AUS which he will never do

Nowhere have the Stormers been quoted as saying they are interested in signing SBW, nor have they mentioned him at all. They have had nothing to do with any of the media reports so don't go putting them in the same category as Nasser.

That would be like going to, oh I don't know.....FRANCE or somewhere like that huh?? Never happen.....

He went one week from being the number 1 NRL star in the country, to playing Division 2 Rugby in France without a word to the media. I don't think he's fussed about his 'stardom'.

 

[International Badboy]

i would say he loved the controversy he caused, I'm pretty sure he was quoted in saying almost right after he left he was doing it so hopefully he could become an AB...

 

[International Badboy]

also I don't think he would go so far from home if his decision to go to the chiefs was to be closer to home

I think he made it pretty apparent after the earthquakes that he was unlikely to stay in Canterbury. And if you're gonna stay in NZ, may as well be close to home.

Cheetahs hunting 7's million

Cape Town - The Cheetahs' Super Rugby team will be one of the teams participating in the 7sPL tournament in George in December.

According to Beeld the sevens event has acquired a main sponsor, with an R1m prize up for grabs for the winner.

The NBM group, which specialises in the management of mines and power stations, will sponsor the event which will be played at Outeniqua Park on December 14 and 15.

Eleven corporate and five Super Rugby teams are expected to take part.

In March this year it was announced that All Black sensation Sonny Bill Williams, Welsh legend Shane Williams and Australia’s flyhalf, Quade Cooper, will play for the NBM All Stars team.

Former Blitzbok Stefan Basson will also play for the All Stars, while former Springboks Brent Russell, Jaco van der Westhuizen, Stefan Terblanche and former Blitzbok Fabian Juries will play for the Living Ball-team.

Cheetahs CEO Harold Verster said they plan to send a strong team to George.

"It's a bit early to mention names, but the prize money makes it very enticing to try and win the tournament," he said.

And the Cheetahs would surely have a wealth of Sevens experience to draw from. Robert Ebersohn, Ryno Benjamin, Philip Burger and Philip van der Walt have all played sevens at international level.
