Bullish Butch

Bullish Butch

16 Jul 2007

Butch James’s knees have a World Cup left in them.

sar126.jpg Speaking in the latest SA Rugby magazine, on sale Wednesday, the Bok flyhalf dismisses claims that he is a liability considering his past injury problems. “Brilliant medical attention at the Sharks got me back on the field and I honestly feel that I could go on for another three years at least.”

James also speaks about his desire to get a World Cup winners medal, his tackling technique and his Maritzburg College days with England cricketer Kevin Pietersen.

Also in the new SA Rugby magazine:

– Ashwin Willemse on his comeback: “Not even my family knows what I’ve been through”

– Pierre Spies on the battle for the No 8 jersey: `”It’s a myth I disappear when the game is tight”

– BJ Botha on his scrumming technique: “I’m no cheat”

– How Piri Weepu got back in shape and Lote Tuqiri regained his speed

– Naas Botha slams the Bok backline. There are also columns from Nick Mallett, Jonathan Kaplan, Shaun Sowerby, Corne Krige and Keo

PLUS: Jaque Fourie’s crib, Emerging Boks, Jaco Pretorius’s other life, Hard Bastards XV, Rassie on counterattacking, Provincial & Bok focus, Tri-Nations review, World Cup countdown

    Agreed, lose those too and we are toast.

    I don’t think Pretorious is good enough to win it for you.

    I think Butch ( if he stay in form) is good enough – just.

    – Ashwin Willemse on his comeback:

    Aswin, why bother coming back when you are kak??

    – BJ Botha on his scrumming technique: “I’m no cheat”

    Why not ask BJ why Wookcock had him by the balls
    in the test?

    – Naas Botha slams the Bok backline.

    good old Naas, despite being the greatest flyhalf to ever play for us, he is hard man to please.
