Oh my lord, Lardy’s back
6 Jun 2006
Lardy Davids is adding weight, in every sense, to the Cheetahs Currie Cup campaign.
The former Springbok and Western Province lock, who left Western Province amid claims that his exclusion from the squad was based on race, has returned to South Africa where he may find the race card still carries more weight than his 120 kilogram frame did in the English Premiership.
Davids has been contracted to the Cheetahs after Gloucester refused to renew his contract. Davids was flown to London a month before the Premiership to do an additional fitness course and then still could never crack it, making just six first team appearances in a season of 40-odds games. He also only started in two of these matches.
When Davids left Gloucester there was not talk about him being too black to make the team. He kind of acknowledged he was just not good enough to play, by quietly seeking solace in South Africa.

QD should not do any motivational public speaking in Bloem
6 Jun 2006, 16:26 pm
Cab,
Just KAK Rossouw – cause that’s what he is.

She’s my mother wpw.
6 Jun 2006, 16:28 pm
wpw – don’t reckon the swinging arm on Chabal was intentional, Chabal made it into something it wasn’t. AJ must calm down, but the fire these guys bring to the side should not be underplayed.
The Province pack is crying out for players like this.

I live in the UK – and watch a lot of Premiership rugby, – and Visagie (while I rate him but that is just because I’m a Capetonian and a ex-Matie) and he was not the stand out tighthead performer this year in the Premiership this year, nor last. And his club was relegation bound till the later part of the season.
But Eddie has been slated before Visagie scrummed Carstens 3″‘s shorter – so my question still stands – of the currently fit props running around on SA telly, who is better?

Kat
i will consider you a member of my QD fan club in that case.
Prepare to lend ure undying support to the Great One !
And what makes it that much better is that i dont have to support a wp player while im at it !

Gecko,
The silence is deafining ….
6 Jun 2006, 16:30 pm
lol fuzzy at 102
fair enough KWV, your opinion.
Murph – what about Schalla the Magnificent? your posi too.
6 Jun 2006, 16:32 pm
stupid…stupid cheetahs!!!!
6 Jun 2006, 16:32 pm
Cool it cool it …… We wont tolerate slating of the Great One on this or any other forum !
Cab Chabal get clobbered into next week … unlikely not unless it was The Great One swinging his hip… i mean forearm !
6 Jun 2006, 16:35 pm
he was swinging his gut when he turned around.
TGHMQ unfortuantely doesnt come close to the one.
The one known only as “The Fleck”…
6 Jun 2006, 16:39 pm
vinnie, if dawn is your mother it means you are a ‘half-naai’tjie’
Dunno if the souties will get that one…
6 Jun 2006, 16:40 pm
lol wpw.
dont think so either mate.
6 Jun 2006, 16:40 pm
Murph – seriously that Danie is not called Pakslae for nothing, he was lining one up on Chabal, which could have knocked all the whiskers off his chin, even the medics were reaching for the strecther…
Gecko, ya probably true, worrying.
As for Visagie, interesting, defer to your opinion on the front row, but it sure looked like Visagie was buckling our scrum bigtime. also see that Sky voted Visagie into their Premiership team of the season at 3 this year. Granted, it is picked by Dewi Morris and Stuart Barnes.
Early start in the UK this saturday, the NZ-Ireland game starts at 8am and the Aus-Pom fixture at 10am.
6 Jun 2006, 16:41 pm
Visagie got shunted by Lensing and Sheridan this year.
6 Jun 2006, 16:43 pm
I just read on Business Web that 43 new Dougnut Businesses have applied for trading permits in Bloem.
strange coincidence that.
6 Jun 2006, 16:43 pm
got to be the three most powerful scrummagers around.
6 Jun 2006, 16:46 pm
sheridan is one strong bugger.

lol, as little as possible, job bores me too tears…
6 Jun 2006, 16:53 pm
No gecko…. if Visagie was soooo kak in a losing side then how did he pick up two man of the match awards over the past seaosn?
6 Jun 2006, 16:54 pm
What do you do cab?
6 Jun 2006, 16:54 pm
yoh vinne
thanks be you didnt take those stats lst year !
I have made a conscious efort to avoid posting ….
but now that the Great One will be in Bloem ….
6 Jun 2006, 16:56 pm
as little as possible Vinnie…
i’m StM’s shift manager at the local Burger King.
Murph – yes good idea was thinking the same.
6 Jun 2006, 17:01 pm
Vinnie – because there are kak sides in the UK too.
The question remains who is SA is better. If CJ was playing no one would call for Visagie, but Eddie has been laid into since he started playing.
6 Jun 2006, 17:09 pm
Mate – no need to get sarky.
Im actually well-versed in the goings-on at vicarage raod as my rugger club is a saracens partner club…
As for alluding them to being a kak side – two of their players just smashed the boks on saturday and add the like of taine randell etc to the side they would clean up wp and most of the provincial sides.
6 Jun 2006, 17:13 pm
Vinnie – I alluded to Saracens sometimes playing kak teams. Matt Stevens won two man of the match awards in 6 Nations – but still can’t really scrum when up against top compitition – and Visagie destroyed him. Not all the props in Premiership can scrum like Rowntree/Sherindan.
And no, they couldn’t clean up Worcester and a few other mediocre clubs. I’ve watched Saracens since ’96 – from that old **** hole field they played on in North East London – and it’s fair to say as a club they’ve been going backwards for a few seasons.
6 Jun 2006, 17:15 pm
If Ollie Can get a position at the Cheetahs, why not Davids, the got Davids specifically for the Bulls game, it’s just a way to ensure they win set phases against monster packs, it worked for them last year and may just work again. and lets not forget there still underdogs, Go Cheetahs, and Go Lardy!!!
6 Jun 2006, 17:18 pm
Murph don’t mention my name in vain.
And I’m no-one’s mother, although my fave phrase is “JOU MA”.
6 Jun 2006, 17:19 pm
Like Vinnie you are a shyster.
6 Jun 2006, 17:26 pm
huh??
6 Jun 2006, 17:28 pm
I wonder if anyone is in position to help me out ?
I need a few stats on Freestate rugby, specifically their whole record against overseas opposition…as I am stuck in China, I can’t get a hold of it anywhere !
Nothing on the net…
Thanks
Frank
6 Jun 2006, 17:29 pm
So frnaky folanke, do you want us to find the stats for you on the internet?
6 Jun 2006, 17:31 pm
Well may you huh.
Murph owes me a drink.
6 Jun 2006, 17:37 pm
Frank try Google. Oh **** sorry that kak is not allowed to be searched
Lets see how good they are.
Down with the Chinese Goverment!
6 Jun 2006, 17:38 pm

gloucester coach to QD:
“if you don’t pull your weight I’ll pull you off at half time”
QD
“jislaaik, at WP I got oranges”
6 Jun 2006, 18:49 pm
For what apologise.
I have no bad debt. Ig would not be seen dead drinking with me!
6 Jun 2006, 19:45 pm
keo
mallet was involved in this so-called race issue.
therefore the necessity for you to attack QD like the coward you are.
did you ever try and interview QD?
this incident was reported in a tabloid you called thrash, but yet you attack QD based on what was written in this tabloid.
6 Jun 2006, 21:18 pm
It’s a good idea to have QD in Bleom,
The stringent training regim there will finish him off quickly, he won’t enjoy the cotton ball treatment he got at WP
7 Jun 2006, 07:51 am
Ihave never met this dude so cant cuss him personally. In the media he has been cussed enough – I hope for his and Rassies sake he pulls finger and has a blinder of a currie cup!
7 Jun 2006, 07:54 am
He will be back shoring up the failing Boks pretty soon…
7 Jun 2006, 21:25 pm
Glad to see Rassie’s up for the challenge of getting a useful performance out of QD.
If he could not crack the fitness required at Gloucester, then he obviuosly is a lazy chap. It will be interesting if Rassie can get him back to his best.

Lardy — ” former WP and Springbok lock” — can you see how these quota affirmative-action transformation players water down the respect one should have for the Springbok and its illustrious history. Even waters down pride in the famed hooped Province jersey!
8 Jun 2006, 08:16 am
Post 147 you really hurting mate.
8 Jun 2006, 14:22 pm
It’s true,hey? Once upon a time every Bok was a genuine sporting aristocrat. Now they have blooody talentless toilet-scrubbers like Lardy wearing the jersey in the name of “transformation”…
Sis man!
