My blood is as black as any Sharks supporter BUT I reckon that the fact that Charisma wins over Class is proven with John Smit. The guy has a personality that will make Oprah humble but he is distinctly a 2nd rate hooker. Bismark outplays him on any given weekend….

If he is that good why aren’t the Stormers and the Bok Coaches enabling him to play in a role that highlights this alleged talent? I mean he doesn’t even run angles, it’s straight into contact and the 50/50 turnover or penalty position everytime!

I’ve had enough of “how good” the Boks are, how much talent the Boks have! Let’s face facts, select a World XV today and 1 Bok player makes the team, Victor Matfield. That’s it, no one else even comes close! We are a joke because our approach and administration are living in the 1970’s, isolation at times can be the mother of invention, but when you are reintroduced to society, not learning from those around you is the biggest mistake anyone can make!

Wake up and smell the coffee SA Rugby!

Bands
Smit
Os
Vic
Bakkies
Juan
Schalk
Bob
Ruan
Francois
Jean
Olivier
Habana
Ndungane
Percy

Now put Ruan and Francois at 9 & 10 and we might just have the most creative and skillful team in France

And then those critics of Bob Skinstad, just look at wat Tricky **** has done with Britz the Blitz, AJ, Botes, Kanowski. I good coach can do wonders with players! What he is doing with Bob is probably going to make jaws drop….

Last night, my wife and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her, “I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle.

If that ever happens, just pull the plug.”

She got up, unplugged the TV and then threw out my beer.

Ek stem saam Schalkie is overrated….

You are not even close too funny my brother!

RE 167

LOL , yeah Skim is touchy tonight, maybe because Survivor Exile Island is finished.

It was a fucken joke.

Like I said, really insightful.
Moron.

Schalk Burger talks about his new hairstyle and how he gets that extra bounce and shine. Not known for being shy with the ladies, the ‘incredible Schalk’ talks about how easy it is to pull at Cubanas on a Saturday night after a home game.

“The worst part about my injury was that I let myself go… My hair was a mess and I stopped moisturising for a while. As a Stormers model…I mean rugby player…that is the last thing you want to do.”

Also in the new issue of SA Rugby magazine:

PLUS: Giant 2007 poster of Hugh Bladen in a tiger stripe g-string chugging down a litre of his favorite beverage (Gin & Tonic) before going into the commentry box to do a game (that’s how he manages to confuse Bolla and Percy…).
