Currie Cup latest (Thurs)
14 Oct 2010
Keo.co.za brings you the news from the Currie Cup.
Lambie reverts to pivot
Pat Lambie will start at flyhalf in the Sharks’ semi-final game against the Bulls.
Charl McLeod is also back to partner Lambie at halfback while JP Pietersen replaces Odwa Ndungane on the wing. The forwards will be boosted by the return of flankers Keegan Daniel and Willem Alberts, as well as lock Steven Sykes.
Sharks - 15 Louis Ludik, 14 JP Pietersen, 13 Stefan Terblanche (c), 12 Andries Strauss, 11 Lwazi Mvovo, 10 Patrick Lambie, 9 Charl McLeod, 8 Ryan Kankowski, 7 Willem Alberts, 6 Keegan Daniel, 5 Alistair Hargreaves, 4 Steven Sykes, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Bismarck du Plessis, 1 Tendai Mtawarira.
Subs: 16 Craig Burden, 17 Eugene van Staden, 18 Anton Bresler, 19 Jacques Botes, 20 Rory Kockott, 21 Andre Pretorius, 22 Odwa Ndungane.
Maku signs with Lions
Bandise Maku has agreed to a two-year deal with the Lions.
After receiving limited opportunities with a Bulls team that has two other Springbok hookers, Gary Botha and Chiliboy Ralepelle, at their disposal, Maku has decided to move on. He will feature in the 2011 Super Rugby tournament for the Johannesburg-based side.
With sound financial backing, the Lions will be looking to make more acquisitions before the competition kicks off.
Mossie’s season is over
It’s been confirmed that Jaque Fourie will not be fit for a possible Currie Cup final and will miss the Springboks’ end-of-year tour.
Fourie injured his foot in WP’s 33-21 win over the Sharks last Saturday, and underwent corrective surgery on Tuesday. He will be sidelined for eight weeks before he can begin rehabilitation work.
This means the combination of Jean de Villiers and Juan de Jongh is likely to be reinstated at national level.
Naka questions WP scrum
Naka Drotske has emailed Saru manager of referees Andre Watson and Saturday’s match official Mark Lawrence to check the legality of WP’s scrumming tactics.
The Cheetahs head coach believes the WP front row has been scrumming illegally with their ‘slingshot engagement at the hit’ while he added that their loose forwards release their bind too early.
Sharks to get physical
Sharks head coach John Plumtree says his team will need to out-muscle the Bulls to beat them in the semi-final clash in Durban on Saturday.
Last weekend against WP, the Sharks were dominated at the breakdown as the more physical Province loosies had the upper hand.
This weekend, the Springbok-laden Bulls have been tipped as favourites to triumph at Kings Park, but Plumtree believes his side is able to down the defending champions with greater physicality.
‘Against the Bulls you know that you have to take them on physically, otherwise you stand no chance of winning,’ said Plumtree. ‘That is what this semi-final will be about. You will have to be tough up front and get the ball on the front foot.’

@ufo(ufo)-497:
You clearly are not high on my list of priority but you knew that before yesterday hence my tardy responses.
Only a fool does not take himself seriously and if that is your choice who am I to deny you that.
On and on you go bumbling your way from one error of understanding to another(eg. original comment should read original error) from your very first comment of your erroneous “piesangs” to this “last” posting.
Is it ‘jounalistic’ license for you not to give complete sentences with ideas and with proper punctuation and paragraphs or is it just beyond your level? And you say you do not “relish” it which must allow me to presuppose that it is an emotional response to your hurt sense of pride – what utter weakness?
It would be a huge waste of my time to take this apart point by point but I would not be any nearer feeling like Einstein as I would achieve nothing unravelling this, by now hardened excrement of garbage.
And that is exactly the point as you give much attention to a word or two or a phrase but as your paucity of substance exhibits you refrain from giving attention to the facts, ideas or principles like one man one vote, or self-respect, or honesty of content(lies) or getting hold of the real facts or one set of rules for yourself and friends but quite another for your opponents etc., etc. – how unseemly pitiful of you.
Get real substance and not that potpourie of mostly discredited wonders like ” JZ, Thabo, Madiba, Julius ” and their words for credits for yourself. One would swear I have demeaned someone who has split the atom but, in reality, it is only you who in your weaknesses run with the hares and hunts with the hounds so self-demeaning are you.
I have already said more than I wanted to but I have to let you seriously know that you are not unlike an anal tear where there is some mild discomfort and possibly a little pain which you may not even be aware of as that hardened piece of worthless excrement works it way down, there may be some variable spillage of fresh, red(but alarming to the unknowing) blood which may cause you to think your world has dropped through your ****. In the meantime, it is just an uncomplicated, harmless anal tear which is the commonest cause of GIT bleeding and thus good news and gone by the next day or two as the scab of the repair process heals that tear. It is not say a colonic cancer or Crohns Disease or even a duodenal or gastric ulcer(the fresh, red blood tells you that).
You are as mildly discomforting, harmless and as uncomplicated as an anal tear, here today but gone tomorrow and my world has not been shaken nor dropped through my **** as yours has.One brownie point for bravely taking the flak for your exposed, discredited, prejudiced friends,Tac and WPTotDieDood.
Moral of the lesson, have sufficient self respect to be a hare or a hound but not both, for mere popularity but, in reality, reflecting a r s ecreeping tendencies.
I DO relish responding to your post and that is confidence and not arrogance.

Stunningly accurate though Elliott, wouldn’t you say old chap?
Although ‘fraud’, or even ‘f.ckwit’ would have described you better.
I see you chose to ignore my question earlier on. Now why does that surprise me? But here’s a reminder if you have the balls to attempt it now…

Anywhere is a good forum.
History in SA will show that in the 70s and 80s the sport’s forum was effectively used, it being the soft underbelly of the then franchised idle and now everybody qualifies to express their vote and not just some favoured grouping.

@ET(ET)-258:
Except the foreigners of course. You said I am unqualified to comment. Do you now retract that statement and expose your obvious hypocrisy? Or will you simply choose to ignore me?
….exposed by your own words. ‘Everybody’ of course means non-white in your racist mind, but the same equality you fought for had a time frame and does not now extend past 1994. And now by seeking to exclude those you do not deem worthy of qualifying, you take up the racist mantle vacated by Apartheid. Same boot, different foot.
You are nothing but a hypocrite of the lowest order. A fraud and a coward who tries to bully others with his imagined higher intellect, which actually only manifests itself in a rambling jumbled up thesaurus explosion which fools no-one. Except yourself of course.

When the missionaries came to Africa they had the bibles and we had the land, they said close your eyes and let us pray, when we opened them we had the bibles and they had the land.
Funny man the bishop

Pure unadulterated E.T.
The poor fool came to the aid of that great Dutchy pretender, WPTotDieDood/WPTID but on a grossly erroneous premise and continued to make errors after errors whilst ignoring Transie good counsel.
Ja old Desmond used to be very good on his good day but that is not his original quote as he took it from the annals of the struggle from the 70s-90s. Now he is on billboards here in the States and is too americanised.
Physiology and not pathology is my domain so of interest to you, the big skybird is a fictitious myth for me.
16 Oct 2010, 16:06 pm
And now what has WPTID done? Think u picking the wrong enemies and they wp fans.
Word wakker boeta.

I just follow TRUTH cab. Someone who did not find any problems with ‘one man one vote under White rule and now finds fault with it under Black majority rule where everybody can vote and now wants to call for “qualified democracy”(whatever tha K AK means) is a racist- WPTotDieDood(skuilnaam toe hy lekker met Pie.man geskinder) and Tac. want that.
All for now the game calls again.
