Sharks lose battle for Mapoe
Lionel Mapoe, was on Wednesday ordered by a Bloemfontein court to report at the Cheetahs by Thursday 15:00.
The court order follows a dispute when Mapoe joined the Sharks while still contracted to the Cheetahs. Mapoe would be able to play for the Cheetahs from Thursday.
The Cheetahs have had their request to recruit a wing from another province denied by Saru, as a player needs to feature in three games before he becomes eligible for the Currie Cup play-offs.
This follows confirmation that torn knee ligaments will sideline Cheetahs wing Jongi Nokwe for eight months.

WP to clear issues with Joubert
Allister Coetzee wants to have a chat with referee Craig Joubert before WP’s clash with the Bulls at Loftus on Saturday.
After the Super 14 final defeat to the Bulls, head coach Coetzee and skipper Schalk Burger criticised Joubert’s handling of the game, especially at the breakdown.
This will be the first time since then that Joubert will be incharge of a WP match and Coetzee hopes to clear any issues during the week.
‘The breakdown is of course crucial and it will be part of the discussion,’ said Coetzee. ‘It’s just an informal thing. If he doesn’t want to talk about it he doesn’t have to. It’s just about finding out what he thinks about the game, as referees do watch the previous games of teams. So we want to get a heads-up on what he thinks of different aspects of the game.’
Daniel to lead Sharks
Keagan Daniel will captain the Sharks in their match against the Leopards on Friday.
With Stefan Terblanche (dislocated elbow) sidelined and Ryan Kankowski expected to be suspended on Wednesday, Daniel will lead the Sharks in Durban this weekend. Terblanche is set to return to action next week.
Meanwhile, lock Gerhard Mostert will make his return to the field after recovering from a serious shoulder injury he suffered in the opening round of the Super 14. Springbok tighthead prop Jannie du Plessis will also get a run.

Aus ex-PM slams ‘multiculturalism’
2010-09-29 10:40
Washington – Australia’s former prime
minister John Howard has attacked
“multiculturalism” in English-speaking
nations, saying that some sectors have
gone too far in accommodating Muslim
minorities.
The blunt-talking conservative, who led
Australia for 11 years before losing the
2007 elections, said on Tuesday during a
visit to Washington that the “Anglosphere”
needed to take greater pride in its values
and achievements.
“This is a time not to apologise for our
particular identity but rather to firmly and
respectfully and robustly reassert it,”
Howard said at the Heritage Foundation, a
conservative think-tank.
“I think one of the errors that some
sections of the English-speaking world
have made in the last few decades has
been to confuse multiracialism and
multiculturalism,” Howard said.
Howard pointed in particular to Britain,
whose Muslim community came under the
spotlight after the 2005 bombings on the
London transport system.
‘That country’s identity’
“I am a passionate believer in
multiracialism. I believe that societies are
enriched if they draw, as my country has
done, from all parts of the world on a non-
discriminatory basis and contribute, as the
United States has done, to the building of a
great society,” he said.
“But when a nation draws people from
other parts of the world, it draws them
because of the magnetism of its own
culture and its own way of life,” Howard
said.
“People want to live in the United States not
because of some futuristic ideal of
multiculturalism, but because of what they
regard as the American way of life and
American values,” he said.
While in office, Howard faced criticism from
his opponents that he aggravated anti-
Islamic sentiment through tough anti-
terrorism laws and tighter immigration
controls, including a test on “Australian
values”.
Howard said he welcomed Australian
Muslims and hailed the recent election of Ed
Husic, the son of Bosnian migrants, as his
country’s first Muslim member of
parliament.
But Howard, who enthusiastically
supported former US president George W
Bush’s invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan,
warned that Islamic radicalism posed a real
threat.
Extremism
He criticised those who would make
cultural identity “mushy and unclear and
undistinct,” rejecting the “assumption that
the way to win favour from extremism is
to make yourself a little more attractive to
that extremism”.
Howard hailed what he called the values of
political freedom and rule of law of five
“Anglosphere” nations – Australia, Britain,
Canada, New Zealand and the US.
Howard said that India shared some
characteristics with the group. He also
called for greater co-operation with
Indonesia – which he hailed as an emerging
model for moderate young Muslims – and
Japan.
But Howard said that the “Anglosphere”
clearly held different values than China.
Howard’s Labour Party successors have
sought to expand relations with China, a
major consumer of Australia’s raw
materials.
Howard said his government maintained
strong ties with China but added that the
key to the relationship was to focus on
business and“not to obsess about our
philosophically different approaches to the
challenges of the world”.

@skopskiet(yliad)-461: You had some pretty good anger going there, but all that school girl alliteration stuff kinda kills the illusion. Use it / don’t use it.
29 Sep 2010, 22:50 pm
Skopskip the captain walks into a brothel and asks for their finest vegetarian hooker.
Up she rolls and they get down to business.
After agreeing to address each other in nautical parlance the festivities begin.
Five minutes pass and the skopcaptain asks his first mate how many knots he’s doing.
3 knots skipper she replies.
Only three knots asks the confused pensioner.
Yes replies the hooker.
It’s not hard.
It’s knot in.
And you’re not getting your money back.

@Tacitus(Tacitus)-417: he has a wc as assistant coach.
30 Sep 2010, 00:23 am
would john plumtree be acceptable to the ministry of sport as the next bok coach?
would plum be interested?
his wife is saffa but the govt has, maybe, set the benchmark with safa by admitting that the next bafana coach will be a south african?
who knows what goes through the head of the individual who makes these sorts of decisions?
it really is a pity that our kiwi friends do not have these sorts of conundrums.
but then life for them must be a lot less interesting?
