TUT feel Tigers’ wrath
9 Feb 2009
UCT recorded their first win of the 2009 Varsity Cup running in five tries in a resounding 39-21 win over TUT in Pretoria.
The Cape students were the more clinical of the two sides in a free-flowing, open contest. TUT continued to fight even when the result was a formality, but poor handling and ill discipline let them down.
John Dobson’s troops were solid upfront and their backline looked dangerous whenever they had the ball.
Ikeys were guilty of giving away a couple of penalties and TUT flyhaf Adillio Coutriers slotted them both in the opening ten minutes.
UCT, though, struck back immediately through a great team try finished off by centre Marvin Christians, but flyhalf Matthew Rosslee began where he left off last week against Maties as he missed the conversion.
Ikeys grabbed the lead just two minutes later as fullback Therlow Pietersen burst through the TUT defence and this time Rosslee added the extras to give the Tigers a 12-6 lead.
TUT were then penalised for infringing at the breakdown and Rosslee made no mistake extending his side’s lead.
Rosslee struck the upright with a penalty attempt 10 minutes later, but from the rebound prop Jan-Harm Steenkamp conceded yet another penalty and this time Rosslee made no mistake as he gave his side a 12 point lead.
The students from Pretoria finally hit back when scrumhalf Andre Potgieter pounced on a loose ball and off loaded to centre Tjaart Kleu who used his pace to score TUT’s first try of the game. But Courtiers missed the easy conversion.
UCT increased their lead in the 51st minute when Pietersen bagged his second of the evening. Rosslee added the extras with a superb kick from the right hand side touchline to make it 25-11 to the Tigers.
Five minutes later and TUT were back in the contest as outside centre Johannes Swartz scored his sides second try.
UCT, however, put the result beyond doubt in the 65th minute when the exciting Tiger Bax broke through the TUT defence before finding replacement Mark Goosen who finished off the move. Rosslee popped over the conversion and Ikeys lead by 16.
TUT grabbed a consolation try with five minutes left in the game when Bakkies Steenkamp pounced on a loose ball, but the University of Cape Town hit back shortly after the restart as Man of the Match Bax grabbed UCT’s fifth try to seal a 39-21 victory.
TUT – Tries: Tjaart Kleu, Johannes Swartz, Bakkies Steenkamp. Penalties: Adillio Coutriers (2).
UCT – Tries: Marvin Christians, Therlow Pietersen (2), Mark Goosen, Tiger Bax. Conversions: Matthew Rosslee (4). Penalties: Rosslee (2).

Tiger Bax has had two solid games now , good showing…
9 Feb 2009, 18:28 pm
watched the Maties Ikeys clash at the Green Mile the other evening. Too many penalties conceded handed the game to the Tassies drinking students on a plate. Otherwise a very entertaining game consumed by an appreciative crowd.

#2 TheTackler: meaning what Tackles?
9 Feb 2009, 18:30 pm
#3 wp_boytjie: Tiger Bax was impressive every time he touched the ball, barring one little brainfart behind his own goal-line.
9 Feb 2009, 18:32 pm
would appear Tackles has gone walkabout and I’m achieving boredom at work. My signal to head for the hills. Chow boy-ous.
9 Feb 2009, 18:35 pm
Helloooooo
Shimlas has a good team, but so does Pukke… going to be interesting.
I commented last week already on Tiger Backs, the outside centre of Ikeys… bloody nice centre that !
9 Feb 2009, 18:38 pm
Bax to the max!

Oooooooooo einaaaa… the Shimlas hooker tackled his opposite No 2 sooooooo hard !
perfectly legal tackle….
9 Feb 2009, 18:51 pm
I think that the numerous outages have had an effect here. Usually at the start of Super14 there would be a number of new people but this site has spent so much time being unusable they must have Googled there way somewhere else.
9 Feb 2009, 18:51 pm
So I’m thinking Stormers
9 Feb 2009, 18:52 pm
#13 grant10: hahahaha. Cant wait grant10. Finally the S14 begins this Friday. For us the big one is on Saturday going to be a cracker.
#12 Jinx: Jeez have not seen you around here for a long time Jinx. Good to see you back mate.
9 Feb 2009, 18:52 pm
#12 Jinx: Hello ouboet digter !
9 Feb 2009, 18:54 pm
#15 church – like chch but pronounceable: They will be back church. Just hope what ever they are working on is going to be really something special as its taken so damn long. Been very frustrating not getting logged on in the last few days.
I never watched that test between WI and England but read on Sky sports that England were bowled out for 51 runs in the 2nd innings. Jeez thats dreadful by England. Read its their worst since 1930. Cant see them win the ashes if they are playing like that.
9 Feb 2009, 18:57 pm
We need those ‘Quick Links” back soon. Going to the home page all the time is so frustrating.

9 Feb 2009, 19:02 pm
#20 Puma:
Why do you go back to the home page?
What browser are you running?
Download Firefox. It runs tabbed browsing and you keep each thread you want open on a different tab.
9 Feb 2009, 19:03 pm
#22 Jinx: Yeah missed your sense of humour here Jinx.
#25 church – like chch but pronounceable: Yes can you imagine getting bowled out for 51 in a TEST!!!!!!!!!!!!! PHEW England must feel dreadful after that especiall bowled out by WI. Read it on Sky.

Humour is the only thing that gives me perspective and keeps me from taking things too seriously. Must laugh at one’s own folly. Makes the unexpected pitch up even quicker.

#37 Irish Devil: what am I, chopped liver? I saw Ireland won, well done.
9 Feb 2009, 19:09 pm
#39 Irish Devil: Howzit Irish, I am well mate how you doing. Must feel great after that win by Ireland on the weekend. Was the best game to watch out of all the 6 Nations. Very pleased Ireland won. Was supporting Ireland the whole way. Got my prediction a little wrong said Ireland to win by 5 and they won by 9. Ireland looking very good. Think they could surprise Wales this year.
9 Feb 2009, 19:09 pm
Shimlas v Pukke the original enemies – when I was at Pukke (mid 90′s) we were on a losing streak of 13 years against the bloody Shimlas…
9 Feb 2009, 19:10 pm
#41 SpringbokSarah:
Hey big one. How are you? Thanks man…
9 Feb 2009, 19:10 pm
#37 Irish Devil:
My ancestors smiled down on Croke Park on Saturday. Well done Ireland. I thought they played with plenty guts and fire.
You must be happy that the Irish took out the Frogs.
God scored a good try too.
9 Feb 2009, 19:10 pm
#37 Irish Devil: Yo, Collegue and my Learned Friend…. howziettttt ?
9 Feb 2009, 19:11 pm
#36 Jinx: Yeah your right Jinxie. Just remember that poem you wrote about KP was really funny. See England got a huge klap by WI got bowled out in the 2nd innings for 51 runs. Thats a hiding. They lost by a innings.
9 Feb 2009, 19:11 pm
Chelski have sacked Luiz Felipe Scolari because they are only in 3rd. hehe Arsenal probably won’t even qualify for the Champions league. Arsene Wenger will be back at his Thailand home before the season is out
9 Feb 2009, 19:11 pm
#41 SpringbokSarah:
Should read thanks girl… hehehe
#42 Puma:
Hey we are so proud, but would never let our feelings run aways with ourself. Hey my chest still is out there mate.

#16 SpringbokSarah: So BokSarah, when are you going to follow Dawn’s lead and become a Lion? She has seen the light and is now a proud Lion and as a side effect she is much happier too.
9 Feb 2009, 19:13 pm
#37 Irish Devil:
Congrats on the excellent start.
9 Feb 2009, 19:13 pm
#44 Irish Devil: I’m insanely good… considering. You?
(If you’re wondering I was supporting Ireland)
9 Feb 2009, 19:13 pm
#44 Irish Devil: Ireland looking good Irish. Off to a great start. Think a quiet a few of those players could make the Lions tour down here this year.
9 Feb 2009, 19:14 pm
#45 Jinx: #46 grootblousmile:
Fanks my buds. Just knew I could rely on my true friends. Been hectic man. Working for a change. Used to play around. Maturing me thinks. Don’t get so much time now, but what I really know you guys are always here to put a smile on my twicker.

Oooh, yes glad that the Poms got slapped up in Jamaica. The world needs a strong WI.
Want more pain in Antigua for the Poms in the 2nd test.
9 Feb 2009, 19:14 pm
#49 Irish Devil: Keep that chest out there Irish. Ireland played really well. Think they could beat Wales. Looking good so far Ireland.

9 Feb 2009, 19:16 pm
#52 SpringbokSarah:
I’m ok not good – but ok…
9 Feb 2009, 19:16 pm
#56 Jinx: hahaha. I never watched it. Just read it on Sky could not believe they could be bowled out for 51 in the 2nd innings. Can you imagine the party there in Antigua? Cant see England win the ashes this year if they are playing like that. Makes our win over Oz seem all that more special.
9 Feb 2009, 19:17 pm
#53 Puma:
Keeping our feet firmly on the ground. We celebrate our win but admire our opposition too… It’s an Irish thing.

#61 Irish Devil: Its a good thing to be like that. Admire the Irish for being like that. Cant wait now to see Ireland play Wales think it will be a cracker of a game.

That song get right into me. I think my DNA at that moment responds very powerfully. I start hearing many shades of Irish music almost clairaudiently…yes…like Christie Moore…I start having visions… and out of nowhere the fire in my blood flames and burns.
It is emotional.

You must have Irish blood mate. We are passionate, yet very sensitive people. Love life, yet concerned enough for the not so fortunate. Celebrate our victories, but cherrish our losses, as you can’t learn if you are always a winner. Make sense:
9 Feb 2009, 19:32 pm

#131 panniepeet: panniepeet. Thats such a funny nick. Sorry don’t want to sound rude its just so funny. Listen mate just a quick tip when you answer a post just click on that arrow next to that post you are answering to and it will go straight to the reply box and show up in yellow to your post. Its easier to answer to by doing that.
9 Feb 2009, 19:55 pm
Tryyyyyyyyy Shimlas……..
They’re playing much better in the second half !
9 Feb 2009, 19:57 pm
Ok both teams are farmers actually, so now it is:
Pukke Farm boys 20
Shimlas Farm boys 15
9 Feb 2009, 19:58 pm
Stressed is Desserts spelled backwards… IT’S A SIGN!
9 Feb 2009, 20:00 pm
#138 SpringbokSarah: BokSarah I am curious, as a Cape resident do you support UCT or Maties or both?
9 Feb 2009, 20:00 pm
Go the Tigers!
9 Feb 2009, 20:02 pm
How much time left there bigblue…?
9 Feb 2009, 20:03 pm
#145 panniepeet: 14 Minutes
9 Feb 2009, 20:03 pm
Tryyyyyyy Kotze, the No 9 of Pukke
9 Feb 2009, 20:03 pm
#143 RedLion: as a Cape Resident I support both. But I would like to go to UCT so I guess I have to support Ikeys but because I’m not there yet I guess I’m allowed to support both sides… I think.
9 Feb 2009, 20:04 pm
27 / 15
9 Feb 2009, 20:04 pm
#139 Puma: Thanks for the tip Puma – was wondering how the hell you guys do that…!lol
9 Feb 2009, 20:05 pm
#148 SpringbokSarah:
In the Cape, you either support Ikeys or Maties…
9 Feb 2009, 20:05 pm
#149 grootblousmile: you definitely doing a good job – doesn’t sound easy with how the scores are changing all the time hehehe
9 Feb 2009, 20:06 pm
#148 SpringbokSarah:
fair enough so you are a WP/Stormer and future Ikeys.
9 Feb 2009, 20:06 pm
#150 panniepeet: No problem.
9 Feb 2009, 20:06 pm
Pukke 27
Shimlas 15
9 Feb 2009, 20:08 pm
# PissAnt: sir please clarify something for me. UCT falls under WP and Maties falls under Boland? Am I on the right track?
9 Feb 2009, 20:08 pm
# PissAnt: I want to go to UCT now but there is a chance I won’t get in so then I would have to change my team… so let’s wait til I’m 18.
#153 RedLion:
9 Feb 2009, 20:08 pm
#155 RedLion: Sounds like my alma mater is on top there… Go Pukke!

#149 grootblousmile: Who is in the lead gbs?
9 Feb 2009, 20:10 pm
‘n Mooi rak, bly darem maar ‘n mooi rak….
9 Feb 2009, 20:10 pm
#158 panniepeet:
72 min into the match so yes it looks like it is theirs.
9 Feb 2009, 20:10 pm
#155 RedLion: Red, bigblue – any players catching the eye as outstanding…?
9 Feb 2009, 20:11 pm
#159 Puma: Plukke 27 / Skimlassss 15
9 Feb 2009, 20:11 pm
Anyways I’m out… bye bye all
9 Feb 2009, 20:12 pm
#156 RedLion:
Been an issue since the beginning of time.
Stellenbosch falls under the Boland district, but Maties have always been included in the WP setup…
Lots of people unhappy with that especially the guys from Boland as you can well imagine…
#157 SpringbokSarah:
Fair enough – when you join either you will quickly find out you either support one or the other.
The rivalry is like WP vs. the Bulls of old.
I only support Maties if they play any team from up North!
9 Feb 2009, 20:13 pm
#163 grootblousmile: Thanks gbs. Going to log off. Huge thunderstorm here and lots of lightning. Before I go has Pietman arrived in the Cape yet?
9 Feb 2009, 20:14 pm
#166 Puma: Dunno, supposed to arrive round about today…
9 Feb 2009, 20:14 pm
#162 panniepeet: #14 for Shimlas has good pace. and a good step #9 for Pukke looks ok too.
9 Feb 2009, 20:15 pm
#167 grootblousmile: Good if you speak to Piet say hello from me.
Cheers everyone going to log off lots of lightning and thunder. Catch you all tomorrow.

9 Feb 2009, 21:09 pm
#192 carol: they wish!!
9 Feb 2009, 21:09 pm

9 Feb 2009, 21:10 pm
#195 grootblousmile: no ways GBS…Stormers are so up for this one…
9 Feb 2009, 21:11 pm

9 Feb 2009, 21:15 pm

9 Feb 2009, 21:17 pm
#205 carol: i dont think percy will start…it seems the fiji wing will be okay…and rassie wants him to play badly by all accounts..
9 Feb 2009, 21:18 pm
#206 grant10: WRS has said he will take me out for lunch before he goes to Cardiff ,if Gillies husband wants to to the match on Saturday.
I am quietly seething…….

9 Feb 2009, 21:27 pm
We playoff contenders Carol. We definitely can pull this one off, and with the fijian we stand a even better chance. Percy will be a great impact player if he’s not in the starting line up.
9 Feb 2009, 21:27 pm
#221 carol: woman are scary creatures….SCARY!!
9 Feb 2009, 21:28 pm

9 Feb 2009, 21:34 pm
Everyone is tipping the sharks this year. They should be backing us. We came extremely close to finishing above the sharks last year. To come back from 3 successive losses proved that this stormers team have lots of character. The nucleus of the team is still intact, i’ll be surprised if they don’t reach the semi’s.
9 Feb 2009, 21:35 pm
#236 carol: lol#237 carol: no wonder WRS doesent want to take you Sat…bloody hell…Scotland!!
9 Feb 2009, 21:37 pm
#239 Wezwp: i tend to agree with 2 provisos…no tight 5 injuries and we will have to tour well…we have a real **** draw Wez..Sharks will be right there…i do feel they may be underdone this sat though!
9 Feb 2009, 21:37 pm
#238 grant10: I think your book should be called “Fridges I have known”……
You could detail how you have lost all 9 fridges, a sports car and various houses to the women you have known……all I have cost you is a few texts……..a bargin I think!! Will I get a mention in your book?
9 Feb 2009, 21:39 pm
#240 grant10: Scotland looked SO good against the Boks, I thought they might have built on that, or were the Boks just really poor that day?
9 Feb 2009, 21:39 pm
#239 Wezwp: waratahs and crusaders also threats…hurricanes…tough …and dont write off the Bulls!!
9 Feb 2009, 21:40 pm
#244 grant10: don’t write off the Bulls or you will upset GBS, …..you really don’t want to do that!! lol
9 Feb 2009, 21:41 pm
I have just been sent a “blonde joke”, it is bit rude, do you want to hear it?

#242 carol: #243 carol: My Cotswold temptress…yip, will have a spot for you!! Scotland seem a bit limited…like the way toy worked that prediction out though…shows intellect ! Boks dont normally tour well end of year…2008 a rare if lucky unbeaten excursion north…yes..Alfa Spyder…3 x houses…9 fridges…hell…life has been a roller coaster of note!!

9 Feb 2009, 21:48 pm
#248 grant10: Will my chapter be entitled “So near yet so far”!!!
Scotland really performed like they were expected too!!
Three houses, blimey…..pick yourself up, dust yourself down and start all over again!!
Grant, I have to admire your stamina…..and to think you are only 46!!
9 Feb 2009, 21:48 pm
#247 Wezwp: yes…forgot about them! Blues look a little experimental and touring less ali williams, rudi wulf,and a few others so not easy for them…so many permutations…great tournament!!

OK the blonde joke, if you dont like rude bits look away now…..
Blonde takes her broken car to be repaired, fearing an expensive bill. But the mechanic fixes it in 2 minutes, “nothin serious luv, just sh*t in the air filter.”
She replies “really, how often do I have to do that”………
Actually wondering if I should post this or not……..ummmmmm, oh well here goes..

#262 Wezwp: Wes, could you explain that to me in English please?…..
9 Feb 2009, 22:01 pm
ain’t got all that much to contribute to proceedings thus far so when all else fails just turn to the sage of the 20th century and let him do the talking
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I’m younger than that now.
As to rugby predictions they probably as certain or fickle as a pretty blond standing on the corner
anyway I prefer the dark variety, as they say, beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.
9 Feb 2009, 22:02 pm
I’m surrounded by afrikaners Carol. Those people on 606 take the cake.
9 Feb 2009, 22:08 pm
The Ireland / France game on Saturday was one of the better games of flowing rugby union football I’ve seen for quite sometime and a very good advertisement for the advantages of ElV’s over the staid boring one dimensional crass we were subjected to up to WC 2007
Unfortunately Scotland just like the Bulls haven’t quite got the hang of them yet, so they still believe rugby is about being brave and stupid all at once and running smack bang headlong into the opposition one man at a time and testing ones stupidity and strength both at the same time. A little like Kankowski tried to do against 2 Italian locks from his own 22, stupidity personified.
So until they start to learn that rugby is about quite the opposite, like running into space and not into the man, and offloading after creating spaces between the players and not hospitalizing oneself or ones team mates by concussing yourself like a dolt with no brains, then they will continue to be playing catch up while the other more astute teams who are coached correctly forge ahead with their strategies.
9 Feb 2009, 22:10 pm
I was both astonished and relieved to see a secure line out performance by Wales and Scotland. I hope Ian mcgeechan take note.
9 Feb 2009, 22:16 pm
Just posted a perfectly innocuous post about the vagaries of decent rugby vs stupid rugby, as in Wales, Ireland and France playing clever rugby while Italy, Scotland and the Bulls still play somewhat stupid rugby
And they moderated it for some uncanny reason, even read through it again to find the offensive word and unless d()lt is deemed offensive, then they really getting knit picky around offensive terminology here.
can’t quite make up my mind about England, whether they fall into progressive or regressive rugby category,
I would say Martin Johnson is trying to turn the corner, and I reckon before the year is out he’ll have established the trend on the right track, far better than Mallet or even Jake the d()lt would have achieved with that conglomeration of mixed potentiality.
9 Feb 2009, 22:16 pm
Sadly i could not see what Martin Johnson could do to salvage the situation for England.@ Carol
9 Feb 2009, 22:17 pm
Lions locks should come from Ireland and Wales unless Borthwick is picked for old farts sakes
9 Feb 2009, 22:19 pm
Anyone have any updates on the Maties-UJ game…? Also where one can find the scores for the other games (Tuks v NMMU)?

This site is still suffering a slow hangover considering the Super 14 kicks off this week.
Usually things would be buzzing by now.
9 Feb 2009, 22:20 pm
Nope that was not the offensive term, so now I give up, could it possibly be the word crass?

9 Feb 2009, 22:26 pm
What approach do you keo bloggers think the stormers should use against the sharkies.

#281 wooden spoon: they seem to have all sorts of internal issues happening, started in George and appears all downhill from there…a real pity…would like to have our big3 competing aggressively and the lions and cheetahs making things difficult for the others…perhaps lions may be the dark horses…stormers waiting for naquelevuki before announcing team…will wait till fri if neccessary!
9 Feb 2009, 22:28 pm
#275 grant10:
I got my hopes up that if we click, and i reckon it’ll come from Grant and the loosies, we can take them on Saturday.
The loose ball and the half back axis is where we can take them, if we can rattle Pienaar and Kockorot and hold our own in the set pieces, line outs should pose no problem, only scrums a big worry, so avoid the set put in and play loose, we could have their number.
Beast, Deysel and Pienaar, Steyn, Terblanche, Jacobs, are their main go to guys
I say if Grant cooks like I know he can with JdV, Bobo and Fiji, and Burger, Louw and Watson do the business with Bekker and Fondse and AJ up front, we can rattle their cage and come up trumps.
9 Feb 2009, 22:29 pm
“chest beating Sharks”. Lol, don’t make me laugh. If anything, the Sharks have gone about their business very quietly, unlike the mob from the south.
9 Feb 2009, 22:29 pm

#287 wooden spoon: LOL…i respect and support the sharks 99% of the time…this sat…not a chance!!

#266 yliad: What are you trying to tell me Skop?
9 Feb 2009, 22:33 pm
#284 Roy: Sorry about the joke, it just sort of happened!!

#288 carol: Hi…sorted a call quicker than i thought…now about to debate the clash of the titans!
9 Feb 2009, 22:33 pm
#289 grant10: I thought we had said goodbye!!
9 Feb 2009, 22:33 pm
#291 carol: Hi Carol. It’s just started snowing again.
A black and white scarf would do very nicely. To be honest, I can’t stand the Sharks’ S14 jersey – it’s grey (supposedly to look like a real shark) – so I won’t be wearing one of those. Oh for the days we only played in black and white!

Of course Bismark and his new tight head kapitan might have something to contribute to the potential spectacle on Saturday
It will be interesting, does the tight scrum still possess the daunting advantage it used to do as in the old game, or is mobility more of an asset these days, will be a case of the proof will be in the eating after 80 mins. on Saturday.

#278 wooden spoon: UJ is old RAU and TUT is old Technikon Pretoria I think….?
9 Feb 2009, 22:34 pm
#296 grant10: I won’t distract you then…….but …..something has happened!!
9 Feb 2009, 22:34 pm
#292 Wezwp: 1. Sharks 2. Canes 3. Chiefs 4. Crusaders
9 Feb 2009, 22:35 pm
i think Fiji crucial for stormers…real blow if he doesent play…the sharks will be concerned at his ability to create from anywhere!
9 Feb 2009, 22:35 pm
I think the Waratahs were head and shoulders above the stormers in last year’s competition.
9 Feb 2009, 22:36 pm
#297 carol: me too…you far too addictive!
9 Feb 2009, 22:36 pm
# carol: what??
9 Feb 2009, 22:37 pm
#298 wooden spoon: Oh is thats why its grey? Mmmmm, so subtle it was lost on me!!………
Did your Sharks have a nice black and white hooped jersey in days gone by?
Snow getting seriously boring now, how Soda Joe puts up with it for so long I will never know!!
9 Feb 2009, 22:37 pm
#304 Wezwp: Waratahs have lost key players such as Rocky Elsom, David Lyons, Josh Valentine, Dan Vickerman as well as coach Ewen McKenzie.
Plus they are traditionally inconsistent…
9 Feb 2009, 22:37 pm
#304 Wezwp: waratahs a damn good side as well!
9 Feb 2009, 22:38 pm
#308 wooden spoon: i feel better now!!
9 Feb 2009, 22:38 pm
Lol sharks no1? Don’t be surprised if they don’t qualify for the semi’s. They were damnn lucky to make it last year if it wasn’t for that lacklustre chiefs.
9 Feb 2009, 22:39 pm
j d moller will give j smit a good go sat…and mujati vs beast will be a great contest!
9 Feb 2009, 22:40 pm
#307 carol: Have you got yourself some Stormers gear yet? It pains me to ask
The Sharks traditional jersey is black with a big white band in the middle. They still use it for the Currie Cup.
Stormers on the other hand used to play in a horrible liquorice allsorts outfit (voted one of the worst in history), then they copied the sharks and went black, and now blue. Talk about trying to find an identity!
9 Feb 2009, 22:40 pm
#306 grant10: See the heading of this thread “TUT feels Tigers wrath”!!! Well the new heading could be “WRS feels CAROL’S wrath”…….My Wales v England ticket has been ripped from my hands…………
I am NOT happy!!
9 Feb 2009, 22:40 pm
#311 Wezwp: 1 sharks…2 crusaders…3 waratahs….4 stormers
9 Feb 2009, 22:41 pm
#311 Wezwp: I say it because they are my team (and they have a real chance). But in SA rugby, anything can happen, and the Sharks have finished last before so nothing will surprise me!
9 Feb 2009, 22:42 pm
#313 wooden spoon: I did briefly browse the Stormers clothing section……….but figure when Grant takes me to Newlands in June (are you listening to this Grant) I might get one then,… hey I could get Percy to sign it for me too……
9 Feb 2009, 22:43 pm
#295 carol:
Sorry (princess) really not trying to tell anybody anything
I’m a sucker for beauty in what ever shade or form it appears
and that beauty is always in the eye of the beholder, like you reckon Percy is akin to Brad Pitt, and I reckon Angelina is where the beauty is all at.
Strokes for folks as they say in the classics. Like Stormers vs Sharks, as in one mans preference is another mans folly – or something in that line of thinking.
9 Feb 2009, 22:43 pm
#314 carol: really feel for you …take gillie for lunch and have a great party!! And , for the 1 st time ever [ and quite probably the last time bloody ever!! ] I will back the poms!!!
9 Feb 2009, 22:44 pm
#313 wooden spoon: You have to admit you have to go along way to beat “Stade Francais” for horrible rugby tops!!
9 Feb 2009, 22:44 pm
I always back the Poms against the arrogant little Welsh f *ckers.
9 Feb 2009, 22:44 pm
#317 carol: yes…i will take you to the stormers shop at newlands and the shark tank in durban…we leave the blonde and WRS at home!!
9 Feb 2009, 22:45 pm

9 Feb 2009, 22:45 pm
#320 carol: Shhh, don’t tell anyone, but I grew to quite like their latest “masterpeice” of a jersey.
Perhaps in football though, not rugby.
9 Feb 2009, 22:46 pm
#318 yliad: Another great answer there Skop…..Blondes for Grant, Raven hair for you…….a place for all.
9 Feb 2009, 22:47 pm
#318 yliad: but jolie got no chance,imo, when i see sienna miller…now that is smouldering hot!
9 Feb 2009, 22:48 pm
The waratahs have 17 players in their sqaud who took part in the 2008 super14 final to face the canes this weekend. They are a team that can never be written off. It looks like Scott Fava will be no8 and Kurtley Beale at flyhalf.
9 Feb 2009, 22:48 pm
#319 grant10: Grrrrrrrr, yeah…lunch and shopping..
9 Feb 2009, 22:49 pm
#325 wooden spoon: jeez….you raising a few question mrks about your levels of red bloodedness there my man??
9 Feb 2009, 22:49 pm
#322 grant10: Yeahhhh…..and U2 later!
9 Feb 2009, 22:50 pm
#325 wooden spoon: The signed one, can Sprinbok Sarah see her signature on it?
9 Feb 2009, 22:50 pm
#328 Wezwp: i agree…i almost drowned at newlands in the rain last year when we drew with them…poured!!!!!!!
9 Feb 2009, 22:51 pm
#330 grant10: I eat steak raw and brush my teeth with beer. Nuff said.

9 Feb 2009, 22:53 pm
#334 wooden spoon: jeez…a cheetah supporter…you would be at home at the Mystic Boer…my favorite spot in Free State!
9 Feb 2009, 22:55 pm
#336 grant10: Perhaps with a bit of garlic and pepper sauce, medium rare, with a bottle of red wine to wash it down. That takes me out of the Free State, surely?
9 Feb 2009, 22:55 pm
OK all, see you around. Cheers.
9 Feb 2009, 22:55 pm
okay all…now have to run…Princess …be cool…go hug the WRS and tell him you understand…LOL…till later all…go stormers!!!
9 Feb 2009, 22:56 pm
#337 wooden spoon: welcome to the refined Cape Town my good man!

#328 grant10:
Plenty of smoldering hot beauties all over this planet, far too many for my mind to cope with, but in the end its as simple as ashes become ashes and dust becomes dust, so where you reckon all that beauty resides after that fading illusion disappears over the horizon? Back to the eye of the beholder – thats where.
Who’s coaching Waratahs after Mckenzie?
They were a class side last year only eclipsed by the consistency of Deans’ Crusaders
Tahs, Brumbies, Canes, Chiefs, Saders, Sharks, Stormers, to probably battle out for the top 4 not necessarily in that order
Reds, Blues, Lions, Cheetahs, Bulls, Highlanders, Force not necessarily in that order to battle it out for the lower places
9 Feb 2009, 23:00 pm
I’m off too, got to go and pout a bit and crash about……
9 Feb 2009, 23:00 pm
As you so delicately put it woodenspoon “nuff said”.
9 Feb 2009, 23:03 pm
Waratahs head coach: Chris Hickey
9 Feb 2009, 23:12 pm
Having said that I wouldn’t be all that surprised if Lions and Bulls still have decent seasons this year and provide some surprises of their own over other fancied teams.
I reckon Robbie Deans is right, SA teams have enormous amount of depth of talent coming through, only problem is our coaching still has a huge gulf to catch up, once they can recognize and develop all that talent available then we could become real forces to be reckoned with in this competition.
The other issue is the competition is too thinly spread across the 14 teams, reduce it to 4 from NZ, 4 from SA, and 3 from Aus, and 1 from Pacific Islands combined and one would get the ultimate competitive results.
Have your say
