Tickles is a most welcome presence on this rather kak blog. Anyone who says otherwise is probably expendable.

@foreverrugga(foreverrugga)-82: @Loki(Loki)-83: Adi is definitely past his sell by date but the Sharks would benefit from his inclusion in their backline when he's back from injury.

@foreverrugga(foreverrugga)-82: You're right, indeed both Adi and JPP are out with injury, which makes the decision to put them into a select conditioning program (as opposed to regaining fitness with their union) even more perplexing. I am all for backing my injured players and keeping their hard-earned contracts in place, but at least require them to get match fit, then show they still have what it takes (even if in the Currie Cup), and ultimately pull them into a conditioning program. Same goes for Heinrich Brussow, who has more to gain from playing a few matches for the Cheetahs in the Currie Cup, than being reconditioned. Especially at the end of a long layoff/reconditioning phase.

@Loki(Loki)-81: I wasn't aware of that, and still got Bok contracts its a f'g joke. I agree that Louw, Gio and Jean should get Bok contracts, I also rek Vermeulen was hard done by. JPP and Adi have to get themselves back into order and game time would do the trick, I thought JPP was out due to injury?

@foreverrugga(foreverrugga)-68: You are aware that they have been removed from the Currie Cup and put on a special conditioning program. And oh yes, they both have Bok contracts. Unlike Jean Div and many other of our recent performers like Gio and Juan and Francois Louw. I would much rather have the latter in a conditioning program and have Adi and JPP play as much Currie Cup as possible. So we can see if they can still produce the goods consistently.

@Loki(Loki)-78:

Enough with the conspiracy theories.

With the emergence of Juan De Jongh I think Adi is under a lot of pressure to maintain place in squad.You can add Wynand Olivier to that as well.

Both Adi & Juan cover 12/13 and have played it at a high level at both provincial & international level.And were reasonably effective in one or both.

This is a make or break year for olivier,who i believe will start saturdays test vs AB.And following one as well.If he doesnt contribute/impress in those litmus TESTS-dont expect him to be in WC squad 2011.As great as he has been in S14 last 2 yrs,he may fall into the Darryl Gibson/Mark Mayerholfer category if he doesnt produce this yr.(30 Tests later)

Dont think Div will play Juan/Adi as a patnership,maybe in midweek WC games/Autumn Tests IF THAT,but not main TESTS.Hasnt even given that indication neither.

So all speculation in your head.

PDV has a penchant for playing players out of preferred position. Ask Jean Div; Gio Aplon; Ruan Pienaar; Butch James etc. So why is it so implausable that he has Adi and Juan De Jongh in mind as a combo. Yes, Adi is injure at the moment (as is JPP) but both these guys are part of his select group of contracted Boks, that will be conditioned with 2011 in mind. If J. Fourie is injured (heaven forbid!), you think Adi won’t be in the mix with Juan? I think not. (not to be confused with, I hope not!).

@Panzer Chief(cane)-74: Pansie, do expect people to take you seriously when you posted c-rap like this ? Injuries are the reason for the delayed announcement. All teams do that when there are injury concerns. Get a life !

@nama1(nama1)-73: It's not that odd when you consider they reckon the Blue Bulls is the Oranje national side.

“Peter de Villiers will only announce his match 22 on Thursday ……….”

Once again SA give “The Finger” to the Norms and Protocols of International Rugby.

It is Expected, Courteous, Customary and Usual to announce your Team on Tuesday.

But hey ………..Little Pete……….ain’t your usual.

@Predawn (Great White Shark)(Predawn)-70:
That’s the way it’s suppose to be. The national team FIRST and then your provincial team/s. Nothing odd about that in my view.

What is odd is when SA fans put the interest of their provincial team ahead of the Bokke. Example, some bloggers on this site who will openly state that their teams in order of preference are:
1. Bulls/ Blou Bulle
2. Bokke

Now that is odd.
