So, another “yes sir, no sir, 3 bags full sir” wally appointed to join the circus that is the SARU. With answers like that he will fit right in with the rest of the “ostrich head in the sand” brigade……exciting times……

You obviously did not listen to the current 7′s captain last week who said that 7′s rugby is a preferred code for some of the players if they can get a contract.

It’s like some tennis players who know that they won’t make it in the singles, so they rather play doubles knowing that they will still make a decent living at they end of the day.

..well Hanson did it to Hester
and Mark David did it to John
and maybe Jack did it to Marilyn
but he did it to South Vietnam
for beauty and glory
for money, love and country
everybody’s doing it,
don’t do that to me!

” Your name! Your name! it’s soo beautiful

Your hair! your hair ……..

But when you smile

The whole world stops and stares for a while

‘Cos you’re amzing just the way you are ”

Keep it up Benchie

Maybe Shrien Dewani can hire him as his PR agent South Africa side.

considering he was sitting in is office in stellies when divot was appointed?

yes well no fine

Peter de Villiers is not a ‘token’ appointment and the current management team has the ability to take South Africa all the way at the World Cup in 2011.

This is the view of the new CEO of the South African Rugby Union, Jurie Roux, who was answering readers’ questions on BOKzine on the SARU website.

Roux, who was bombarded with questions about the Springboks’ troubled 2010 campaign and the management team’s lack of performance, contradicted earlier statements by SARU President Oregan Hoskins about the true nature of De Villiers’ appointment.

Hoskins had publicly stated that De Villiers was appointed for “reasons other than rugby”.

However, Roux intimated this week that De Villiers’ appointment was based on merit only.

Paul Eyles, one of the many readers who posted questions, did not pull any punches – saying that Bok backline coach **** Muir has to go, having made a mess of the Lions and is now doing the same thing with the Boks.

Eyles also said that De Villiers is a token appointment and in order to make the best of a bad situation they should appoint at least two decent assistants.

However, the SARU CEO disagreed strongly with the reader on this point.

“The performance of the Springbok coaching team is a matter for the head coach to decide on and, to get one thing straight, Peter de Villiers is not a token appointment,” Roux said.

Asked by Danie Smith if he felt that the current coaching staff are the best there is in South Africa, Roux was again to the point.

“It’s a nice question to debate around a braai, but it’s also entirely hypothetical as there is no other management team,” Roux retorted.

“What I can say is that I firmly believe that this management team has the ability and will be given any other resources they might require to give our players an outstanding chance of retaining the Rugby World Cup.

“A winning Springbok team is very much this organisation’s No.1 priority.”

In response to another question about the Bok coaching staff and the 2011 World Cup in New Zealand, Roux had this to say:”We too are looking forward to 2011 with great anticipation.

“We’ll be overhauling the way we operate at SARU, unveiling a new strategy and a new Super Rugby competition but, most importantly of all, we’ll be pouring our major efforts into making sure the Springboks have the best possible chance to retain the World Cup.”

He also stood firm in the face of some tough questions about the Boks’ poor 2010 form – which saw them lose five out of six Tri-Nations Tests and two of their five year-end matches, including a shocking performance in their loss to lowly Scotland.

He said fatigue was never a factor.

“Our players and management didn’t once mention tiredness on the recent tour – in fact, they dismissed the suggestion when it was put to them,”Roux said.

“Perhaps commentators mentioned it, but certainly never our players.

“On the detail of the Scotland match I cannot help you, but I can say that we thoroughly merited all three of the Test victories achieved – none of Ireland, Wales or England were good enough to beat us and producing those results, away from home, in familiar conditions with more than a dozen injured players at home and against northern hemisphere teams at their strongest is no to be so easily dismissed.

“And, finally, Peter said before the tour that he was considering the appointment of a consultant and that door has not been closed.”

true

but I can’t handle milk stout.

mondays at casa gunther are known as black monday.

there is an odds on chance of a domestic misshap or equipment abuse.

I won’t touch it.

Maevis blames it on the smiley when she takes a puza monday.

meanwhile it’s actually the 6 quarts of milk stout she washes it down with.

no wonder come monday she’s “not right”….

The old head shepherd is probably dribbling with slack jaw to his favourite marino and repeating over and over: “those naughty, naughty hobbitses” or “Karma, karma, karma, karma Chameleon”…

His favourite merino probably replies with a sympathetic “ba a a ahhh”…

quite right.

a dodgy smiley can be career limiting.

Transie: sitya intloko yegusha ne papa apho eRhawutini!!!

Thanks Transie.

Such are the perils of Keo.co
