Ashwin’s OK

Ashwin’s OK

Contrary to media reports, Cats wing Ashwin Willemse has not suffered a further injury setback.

There has been confusion concerning whether Willemse again will be forced to the sidelines, but speaking to keo.co.za, Cats captain Wikus van Heerden has clarified the situation.

“He just had a couple of cramps hey,” Van Heerden said. “It’s the first time he’s played 80 minutes in quite a while so it’s to be expected.

“There’s nothing serious there. He’ll be fit and available for our first clash with the Stormers.”

Van Heerden enthused that physcially Willemse is in better shape than he’s ever seen him.

“Ashwin is looking great, a lot bigger and stronger than he’s been in the past. He’s certainly a bit quicker as well. Last night he was very keen for the ball, and got involved regularly. In fact there were a few phases where we forwards had to fight for the ball, he just kept calling for it.”

    i like the fact that south africans are now coming back from injuries having bulked themselves up. I am sure in the past a player used injuries as an excuse to just let themsleves go. it seems we’re finally catching up with profesionalism and our guys are often benefitting from inforced rests.

    Man, this is good news, what a tradegy it would have been if he got injured again.

    The Cats and South Africa need Ashwin badly, so this is good news indeed.

    Ashwin is very important for the Boks. He is big, strong and powerful as well as fast. We have plenty of the lighter, quicker guys, but Ashwin gives us so much more.

    Ja, Ash rocks cause he is a Lion!! Ash is almost as strong as Chuck but…

    The quickest way to a man’s heart is with Chuck Norris’ fist

    Chuck Norris is 1/8th Cherokee. This has nothing to do with ancestry, the man ate a f**king Indian

    Ja, it’s good to see that he used his time out to get in some good gym-time, and is now better off, in terms of bulking up, instead of cooling off and gaining weight. Professional, Ash.

    >>Grrrr….I’m a Lion!

    You know Chuck Norris’ career is officially dead when the new Dolph Lundgren film has a bigger release

    Ashwin ek rate jou ou maat, maar as jy weer seer kry weet ek nie. Ek skiem dan moet meer jy Super M sluk en aan daai EAS shakes om jou bene sterk te kry. Sterkte… die Leeus het jou nodig want ander sit hulle Jorrie op die wing en daar is klaar 20 punte vir ons teenstanders.

    Chuck Norris can touch MC Hammer.
    If you wake up in the morning, it’s because Chuck Norris spared your life.

    Chuck Norris’ calender goes straight from March 31st to April 2nd, no one fools Chuck Norris.

    A director is screen testing Sylvestor Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger for a new film about classic composers. Not having figured out who to give which part to, he asks Sly who he would like to be.

    Stallone says “I like Mozart. I want to be Mozart”

    So the Director says, “Very well, you can be Mozart” Then he turns to Arnie and says “Arnie, who would you like to play ?”

    And Arnie says “Ah’ll be Bach!”

    now all we need is Dan Carter at 10 and a looseforward that dominates at the tackle-ball breakdown.
