De Bruyn banned
12 May 2009
Cheetahs scrumhalf Tewis de Bruyn has been banned for three weeks for a dangerous tackle on Akona Ndungane.
De Bruyn received a yellow card for the tackle during his side’s 29-20 loss to the Bulls and pleaded guilty to the charge.
Judicial officer Jannie Lubbe heard evidence from the player and Cheetahs coach Naka Drotske, while he viewed video footage as well as reports from the match referee and assistant referee.
Lubbe decided the incident was a dangerous tackle at mid entry level that requires a sanction of six weeks. However, the mitigating circumstances meant the suspension was reduced to three weeks from all rugby.
De Bruyn will miss the match against the Stormers, but will be available to face the British & Irish Lions on 6 June, although he can appeal the decision.
Sarel Pretorius is the likely replacement for the Cheetahs’ final Super 14 fixture.

#47 grant10: Sharks not out of it.
There is no way to overcome geography. The earth is a pretty “set in stone” thing.
But if someone has an idea, and I think that they are doing better, then go for it.
But if you want to join the Magner’s League beacuse S14 is “too haaard. tooooo faaaaar. waaah waaah waah”, I am not joining you.
We say we’re the best. Now we have to beat the best.
And oh yes. Lets beat the Lions 3-0. Pienaar man of the series. Brussouw runner up.

#49 carol: carol perhaps i am of a different species…probably far too sensitive for my own good…cannot believe the different world i seem to inhabit…perhaps my slice of SA is very different to the rest of my country….but i cant sit back and not do something to try and influence positive change…my forehead is bruised from a;ll the shut doors…but if 1 person sits back and thinks about it…then a bruise or 2 worthwhile…

#53 grant10: The trundling rolling maul is boring boring boring boring boring.
But the short arm free kick is a shambles.
I trust Aussies, Kiwis, Yanquis, Mexicans, Saffas, Zimbos, Brazilians (Giselle is super-hot totty)…. It’s individuals tha tend to be ar$eholes.

#58 grant10: Very commendable but I find it hard to understand how someone can be so rude to someone here and be flabbergasted when they retaliate!

#62 Transformation: Ag bud. The last 2 days have been pretty embarrassing from a societal and intelligence quotient point of view.
I was speaking metaphorically about the behaviour on the blog. Very sad, in a “hopeless case” way.

#65 SodaJoe: ag soda, some day are worse than others i say, sometimes i don’t even think about half the stuff that happens here until i put my pc on or i got through my bookmarks on my mobile & i see the 3rd one being ”keo.co.za” and then it hits me…i just wish people would stop being facetious, because it is easy to be an @sshole, pretty damn easy…the reward is being a good person, but i can tell you it is hard to do that when dealing with set mindsets, obstinate & seemingly egotistical people.
I tell you sometimes it is easier to put up a building with new & emerging contractors than it is with the well established onces who are dead set in their ways, even when you show them potential pitfalls, they look past you cos in their minds they know better…
It’s not even about fighting or quarreling, if only people on the blog would be aware of what they put out, there wouldn’t even be a need for reactions. For instance look @ ed the lion, he says he didn’t mean any harm or to offend, okay fine whatever, but i would dare him to spew anti-semitic stuff on this blog, i’ve never seen anti-semitic comments on this blog not even once, are people more sensitive to jewish people than people of colour?
Anyway it’s neither here nor there, i know there are good bloggers & there are spiteful ones too, it is the way it is, i’m not here to change anyone but rest assured i will point out injustice or prejudice when i see it, if a person decide to tell me to **** off, i’ve done my part, roy or whoever this moderator schmuck is supposed to be has a job to do…enough for one day! Whew…can i also have a ”hot totty?”

Hi Grant 10/all other bloggers
Safe to talk rugby here ???
I have not posted for a while but cannot resist now that the Lions are about to arrive at our shores, I apologise for the long post in advance!!
I’ve read a lot of posts about the composition of our squad and I agree with the majority of sentiment that we have problems at 3/10/15.
At 3 the logical solution will be to bring in BJ or CJ,
I do not however think PDEV will do this, I think he will play Smit at tight head, this has been a blueprint of his since his appointment and I cannot see him changing his thinking at the 11th hour!!! It will give the Lions a huge advantage should he do this though. If we go backwards in the scrum, especially on our ball, a lot of our attacking options are immediately nullified. Advantage Lions. So yes 3 is a huge area of concern.
At 10 I think it is a given that he will play Ruan, as talented a player that Ruan is, he is by no means a complete fly half, his option/decision taking and kicking out of hand are often erratic, especially when his side is going backwards, when playing off the front foot these limitations are obviously less exposed. He is very good when his side is dominating, has a wonderful eye for the gap and is not afraid to defend, those are his strong attributes.
The fact that most bloggers are agreeing that FDUP will be doing most of the tactical kicking and will take the pressure off Ruan confirms what I am saying, FDUP should be allowed to focus on being the best scrum half in the world (which he is) and not having to absorb Ruan’s shortcomings. I pray for the day when SA will again produce a world class FH.
At 15 I would personally play Frans Steyn there, here is a lad that has all the attributes to be a world class full back, big, great defender, positional sense, huge boot, the ability to come into a line and cause mayhem, why none of the brains trust has identified this as probably his best position is beyond me !!! I think though that PDEV will go with Zane, not a bad choice the lad has been playing great rugger but the important thing to remember when playing the Lions especially in the first test is that experience is vital and based on that fact alone I would play Frans Steyn there. I know he has not played there for some time but I believe it will not be a major adjustment for him, let the Lions then kick as much as they want, with Steyn at the back they will be fetching leather all day long!!!
Then the big debate on the combination of the loosies !!!! I know a lot of support has come in for Brussow and rightly so he has been playing very good rugby. But let me ask you this, if you are a Lions player and I told you, you would be facing Brussow and not Schalk, I’m sure you would sleep a lot more comfortably !!! It is imperative that we win that first test……. Schalk has huge presence on the field, he along with Bakkies are the enforcers in the side, his work rate and tackle count make him a player that other players hate playing against, presence and respect on the field counts for a lot and I do not want to give the Lions an inch, leaving Schalk out of the starting line up will give the Lions a psychological edge, also his experience is vital. He might not win as much turn over ball as Brussow but hell he brings a lot of other stuff to the party.
My loose trio for the 1st test, Spies, Schalk and Juan. Experience, experience, experience!!!

#95 justrugby: boet PDV will do as you have mentioned…at 3, 10 and 6 …i can live with schalk and Ruan….3 is my concern…a bad showing there will permeate through the team…and can result in a blunt showing by our backs…
