Gaffie in, De Waal out
15 Feb 2006
Willem de Waal has been dropped from the Cheetahs match 22 to play the Sharks in Durban on Saturday. Meyer Bosman will wear the No 10 jersey.
Former Bok fullback Gaffie du Toit starts on the right wing, with Giscard Pieters wearing jersey 11.
“I believe Meyer is the right man for Saturday’s game,” coach Rassie Erasmus told keo.co.za. “Gaffie can move to flyhalf if Meyer is injured during the match, so there was no need to include Willem in the squad.”
Erasmus has also made changes to the front row with Os du Randt, Tiaan Liebenberg and CJ van der Linde packing down against the Sharks, and Wiaan du Preez and Ollie le Roux on the bench.
With Samoan Trevor Leota not available due to injury, Le Roux will also provide cover at hooker.
Cheetahs team to play Sharks:
15 Bevin Fortuin, 14 Gaffie du Toit, 13 Ronnie Cooke, 12 Barry Goodes, 11 Giscard Pieters, 10 Meyer Bosman, 9 Michael Claassens, 8 Ryno van der Merwe, 7 Juan Smith (c), 6 Kabamba Floors, 5 Barend Pieterse, 4 Corniel van Zyl, 3 CJ van der Linde, 2 Tiaan Liebenberg, 1 Os du Randt.
Subs: 16 Ollie le Roux, 17 Wiaan du Preez, 18 Frans Viljoen, 19 Gareth Krause, 20 Noel Oelschig, 21 Sinethemba Zweni, 22 Eddie Fredericks.

Are we gonna see De Waal run out again come this weekend. Rassie and his mind games.
15 Feb 2006, 16:01 pm
Finally…..i still can’t believe he started last week
15 Feb 2006, 16:04 pm
I wonder why Zweni is dropped. I was surprised when Erasmus took him off last Friday as he was playing well.

Ig , you gotta help.
Everything on keo is so slow.
Not having any problems else where on the net though.
What can it be?
15 Feb 2006, 16:09 pm
Only 2 players of colour. Ag, it should be expected. Unlike the Breezes who had 5 on Sat. Well, at least they not both on the wing like the Bulls…

Blouste – i am at loss everything is in order ! I have been doing some research and i currently can’t reach the site on our dsl line as international is down ! I have run all the tests and nada is wrong ?!?!!?

I’m hoping the Sharks take 5 points here. We need to boost the SA teams that is already sitting good on the log.

Ig,
I’m running a 2MB leased line and things are flying.
Blouste, are you based in Pretoria – that might be the problem – they still use fish line in that part of the country.

WPW – Free State have always been the worst for transformation, I remember one currie cup game last season they only had 1 player of colour in the whole match 22 that being Floors…
15 Feb 2006, 16:40 pm
Ta for feedback PA – all seems fine from where we are too…..???!!! Telkom knobbing us all !
15 Feb 2006, 16:56 pm
Gaffie and Pieters… hardly the sort of wings that make you have sleepless nights if playing against them.
The Cheetahs are going to have a tough time if their injury toll continues to mount.
15 Feb 2006, 16:57 pm
WPW / Bigg – try counting again. I see 3 in starting lineup and 2 on the bench. not that it should matter – Rassie is going to change the team before saturday. I’m araid to pick any cheetas in my FL team.
15 Feb 2006, 17:01 pm
Munkiboi – I didn t comment on how many players of colour the cheetahs have in their starting line up… I said the cheetahs have the worst transformation record.
15 Feb 2006, 17:07 pm
Go Cheetahs!
Stupid dropping De Waal, but still, hopefully the beat the Sharks.
Having said that, the Sharks are mostly Cheetahs anyway:)

Vok.
Makes me all jas when Ig talks technical.
Whew. Anybody got a fan?
15 Feb 2006, 17:19 pm
O fokked IG, Keo needs to move over…seems like you’re gonna be occupied tonight. Dawn is lus vir jou..lol
15 Feb 2006, 20:03 pm
Munkiboi – name me the 3.
I only see Fortuin and Floors. Unless someone has been reclassified that is 2.

The Gaff is a has been (if he ever was that is). Get rid of him I say. Hell I hope to be proven wrong, but cant see it. Him and Bobo can waai, maybe cricket will suit them better.

Huffy the Toy is a rugby joke. No BMT.
16 Feb 2006, 07:57 am
Thank heavens. Now we stand a chance at least. That is actually quite a potent backline. Keep an eye on Cooke this season.
16 Feb 2006, 08:01 am
and the two players of colour are from Spears territory … strange but true. Look into the squad and you’ll find another 2 from Spears country, Dlomo and van Heerden.
And FS always ***** that everyone steals their players – transformation my ***

Ig, there is definitely something wrong with the website. It is very slow the past 4 days. I’ve got ADSL and experience it only on keo.co.za.
16 Feb 2006, 09:57 am
and the CC is still in Bloem…

The site was slow yesterday afternoon but has been ok this morning and last night.
I think the load balancing system on the hosted server is not configured correctly.
