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.

#97 grant10: LOL, talking about No9′s I believe the improvement in the Stormers play over the last couple of weeks is a result of Duvenhage playing at scrum half, he gets the ball away at a rapid pace, giving the backline vital seconds , this is important when you have a bit of a p
lodder at FH, in the shape of de Waal. They were not getting this quick ball while Ricky was there.
I like the grunt and aggro ricky brings but his primary function is to release the ball to the backs as quickly as possible, duvenhage does this better !!

#90 Transformation: I am all for intelligent discourse. That’s all. Say what you want in a decent, mannered, intelligent way.
If people realize that the blog is about what you get from other people, not what you get from reading your won post.
And hot tottie is available to all who are good. No hot tottie for tsotsies.

Evening all.
Man, I’m still hugely disappointed in the Sharks. From heroes to zeroes in the space of 3 weeks! What could possibly have caused the wheels to come off so dramatically?
And if you recall, this is nothing new to the Sharks. A few years back (I think it was 2005) the Sharks cleaned up overseas, came back home for an extended run at home at the top of the log then bombed to finish 7th (I think they even lost 6-5 to the Reds at home that year). Mental problems?

12 May 2009, 21:05 pm
#108 Spooner: difficult to explain…personally i believe a lack of real backline depth…i bet if ruan and f steyn were involved at 10 and 12 things would have been very different….sharks will need to get out chq book as well…and they will

#110 SodaJoe: LOL ,,,did the mighty whites survive relegation??

#110 SodaJoe: its the flu drugs boet…cruel *******…LOL

#104 justrugby: Bud nice to see you back.
Personally I would play Steyn at 12, where he can be our Scott Gibbs. With more creative flair.
I also think people might be intimidated by Schalk. But, the rugby ball is the same size for everyone. And you can’t win the game without the ball. Schalk does not win enough ball – he is good at stopping guys with the ball. And Brussouw makes it harder for the opposition to win quick ball – and you know taht gives us time to get organized and …. We need to get over ourselves when it comes to scale and focus as much on skill.
Ruan will need FdP, any new flyhalf will, and in fact he is good enough to help any flyhalf look good – including Butch. I do agree that Ruan needs more composure going backwards – this will come with experience.

#111 justrugby: call ross skeate, cliffie Milton, francois van schouwenberg, daan human, cj, bj…make a list..i will call them …just save the stormers amnd wp !! Boet that young Martin Muller looks a prospect hey??

#108 Spooner: Spoons it’s not over.
Disappointing, but not over.
The injury to Pienaar was a big loss. All momentum gone.
Smit is a pap 3. Jannie Dup is also pap.
Biz & Kanko were reading their own comics and are not in form.
Muller is a malteaser – all show and no go – hard on the outside but crumbles easily.
But it aint over until …
12 May 2009, 21:12 pm
#108 Spooner: Very dissapointing considering the depth in the side, as a stormers supporter I realised that we did not have the depth to seriously challenge for the title, as a Sharks supporter and the expectationn you guys had, you must be gutted.

#59 SodaJoe: rolling mauls are good, they tie defenders in so the backs have space.
12 May 2009, 21:12 pm
#115 SodaJoe: i see frans will be available for selection…jdv as well…also thought Frans was the standout while at 12 …perhaps at 15 he may do the business….1 thing …please no J Fourie at 15….pleeeeezzzzeeeeee…dont do that out of position ****…zane more than capable…

#121 Big Hit: tell the oke…bloody elvs…made the game a league lookalike…rugby in drag i say…
12 May 2009, 21:16 pm
#121 Big Hit: That would be true if they ever got the ball. But they don’t and we meander around the field like drunk cows for half the game.
Then they kick it out so they can start it all over again.

Just booked a day fishing in one of the most beautiful trout rivers in the world! Roll on July!
[my wallet is a lot lighter though, but worth it!]

#122 grant10: Zane at 15. Jacques on bench. Frans at 12. Sorry Jean …
#127 grant10: The only issue is the short arm chaos.
12 May 2009, 21:18 pm
#121 Big Hit: It’s an absolute art !!!

#60 gunther: Bulls wouldn’t win the HEC.
12 May 2009, 21:19 pm
#126 justrugby: Bud – Ruan, Steyn, Adi – absolutely looked the business. JPP looking great.
But Jean vs Steyn is very tough. As is Adi vs Jacques.
12 May 2009, 21:19 pm
Wazzup up dudes and sexy mamas…did we all agree to play nicely… It will be good to see the big duels for the weekend… Luke v Brussouw… Heini V Kokkert (Pity FDP could not make it to teh party, Fortunate for him I’d say)..JP v Habana… Pity that Tewis got that ban… There definitley was no malice…You could see the remorse after the tackle…He should still be considered for the Proteas ( Lets get use to it)

#117 SodaJoe: it’s actually sad Soda, would love to see them back in top flight football, that’s where they belong !!!
12 May 2009, 21:20 pm
#132 SodaJoe: no boet….that collapsing of the maul negates a part of the game some of us love…
12 May 2009, 21:20 pm
#133 justrugby: Nah. It’s not an art, it’s a ****.
12 May 2009, 21:21 pm
#123 justrugby: Can you feel the love tonight?
#124 SodaJoe: Bugger, thats a tricky situation there!!
What do I say!!
About the Bull tums, I know it is a myth put about by ‘handsome devils’ from Joburg..
12 May 2009, 21:21 pm
#128 SodaJoe: all it takes is for the ref to say ‘use it or lose it’, apparently this will be more strictly enforced next season.
12 May 2009, 21:22 pm
#135 Big Hit: Bud. In my heart and head. I think every team in S14 would have ability to win the Heineken Cup easily. Including the Cheaters.

12 May 2009, 21:24 pm
#125 grant10: Talking of superbru…It is a bit difficult this week!! I have just been pondering.
ps. Are you still feeling frisky btw?
12 May 2009, 21:25 pm
#142 Big Hit: Not going to Twickenham this weekend by any chance?
12 May 2009, 21:25 pm
#143 SodaJoe: thats because you’re biased towards your own teams. You’re speaking from the heart and I can understand that.
I watch both and I know the Cheetahs aren’t going to go to Toulouse and beat them in their backyard, that’s most of the France team you’re talking about. Likewise, the Lions aren’t going to beat Munster in Thomond. From time to time NH clubs play SH clubs and it’s always competitive.
