What a guy.

His kicking game and running plus his passes. He is a complete scrumhalf. The man can do anything.

Gooooooooooi Blou Mieliesssssssss !!

Ashley, I think the previous edition of SA Rugby read Special Lions Tour Edition (or something)

This one looks at the Lions tour but also looks ahead to the Tri-Nations.

He was followed by Fonnie du Toit, Piet Uys, Tommy du Plessis, Robert du Preez, Joost vd Westhuizen and now Fourie du Preez.

Obviously scrumhalves enjoyed the time behind the forwards of the Bulls.

Not that Joost wasn’t brilliant, he was. FdP to me now is the best rugby player on the planet (read IRB player of the year), not just the best scrumhalf.

The oke is amazing, and as mentioned, when he isint there, the difference is massive.

FdP can do everything, in fact, he may just edge Vernon Koekemoer.

Sad – you’d hope for some sensible and personal opinion, as well as genuine insight. You don’t get it from these guys and as much as Stephen Jones of the London Times (as an example) annoys me, I’d much rather hear his view – at least it’s his genuine view!

They tell the public what they want to here and they stay clear of anything that is remotely controversial. They end up not being able to even express a real opinion any more.

I would much rather listen to people who have something of value to say – even if their opinions completely differ from my own.

Gaan sit saam met jou kaptein (Smit), belangrikste voorspeler (Vic) en agterspeler (FDP) om ‘n tafel en vra hulle:
1. watter soldate soek julle saam julle om hierdie reeks te wen.
2. watter ‘gameplan’ het ons nodig om dit reg te kry.

So maklik soos dit.

;-)

o – sorry…… it’s about the Lions…..

but then again……it looks like a bunch of people with vrot teeth arriving from the twilight zone and the one in front had to many hamburgers…. maybe it would look better if they were standing on grass …. around a konka and muttering incomprehensible sounds while someone is chanting……. “death to the pale skins”……

naw… i donno about this stuff…..

(always looks dodgy if they stand with boots on flat surfuce… imo)…. looks staged…..
