Lambie’s fearless
12 May 2011
JON CARDINELLI, writing in SA Rugby magazine, says South Africa’s great prodigy continues to exceed expectations.
Pat Lambie can’t miss. He kicks six out of six against the Melbourne Rebels, and calls kicking consultant Braam van Straaten after the Sharks’ victory. ‘Coach, I’m hitting the ball so sweetly, it feels like I can’t miss,’ he says. That rare combination of skill and composure is once again evident as he nails three out of three the very next week.
In October 2010, SA Rugby magazine hailed the arrival of a special talent. Lambie exhibited all the attributes of a match-winning flyhalf, although at the time of writing, he was yet to substantiate the speculation; he was yet to take control. That article was written about a promising teenager, and few could have predicted the accelerated metamorphosis he would undergo in the next five months.
Lambie has ascended; he has begun to spread his wings. He led the Sharks to a Currie Cup title with a dazzling all-round display against Western Province. The sharp tactical probes, the visionary distribution and, of course, the daring dart and fend on Schalk Burger that epitomised his audacity. That moment alone will go down in domestic history, but on a longer timeline, it will serve as a precursor to greater deeds.
It’s an unshakeable confidence that’s come to mark him more than his natural feel for the game. Lambie believes he can’t miss, and through his increasingly impressive feats, more and more people are beginning to share this confidence.
Van Straaten picked up on that defining quality in the build-up to the 2010 Currie Cup final. Tasked with refining Lambie’s kicking technique, Van Straaten was surprised by the youngster’s penchant for responsibility. Van Straaten and Lambie spent a total of five hours during that final week discussing technique and practising an array of kicks, and it formed the basis for what was to become a prosperous working relationship.
They linked up again during the Sharks’ pre-season, and Lambie remained ambitious. While firmly entrenched as the first-choice flyhalf, there was still much to prove. There were other factors that contributed to his erratic goal-kicking on the Springbok tour of the home nations, but it was clear that his technique was holding him back.
‘There were some fundamental flaws that needed correcting,’ says Van Straaten, a former Springbok flyhalf with a reputation for goal-kicking accuracy. ‘His body position was wrong and his last step towards the ball wasn’t quite right. It took quite a while to fix, but as we saw during the early stages of Super Rugby this year, that hard work has paid off.
‘For a developing player like Pat, you want him exposed to as much ball as possible. This applies to kicking as much as it does to other areas of his game. I’d noticed that the Sharks used Stefan Terblanche as their primary kicker when they kicked for touch, and so I spoke to the Sharks’ coaches and suggested that Pat take on that responsibility. The good habits he’d picked up after working on his goal-kicking were carried across to his kicking out of hand, and because he got a feel for kicking the ball to touch early in the game, he would have some rhythm before kicking for goal.’
The Sharks won four of their first five matches and Lambie boasted a goal-kicking average of 86%. The improvement in his tactical game was also evident, and if not for a finger fracture that sidelined him for three weeks, he may have continued to top the point-scoring table.
While the Sharks toured Australasia, Lambie stayed in close contact with Van Straaten. The latter continued to analyse Lambie’s kicking performances and mail him video clips and feedback. It was after the Sharks beat the Rebels 34-32 in Melbourne and Lambie kicked six out of six that Van Straaten received a phone call from his prodigy.
‘It was a proud moment for me as a coach,’ recalls Van Straaten. ‘We had changed his kicking style and he’d put in the work, and he had progressed to the point where he felt like he just couldn’t miss. And it wasn’t a case of arrogance or over-confidence. He was kicking like an absolute king.’
Lambie’s performances with the boot and with ball in hand have not gone unnoticed. There’s a healthy appreciation for the 20-year-old in Sharks country, while members of the Springbok management are keeping a close eye on his progress.
He already has four Test caps and was on the field when South Africa completed wins against Ireland, Wales and England last year. But whether he gained anything from that northern sojourn is a point of contention.
Before that touring squad was announced, Sharks coach John Plumtree said that it wasn’t ‘necessary’ for Lambie to be involved. Having watched the four Tests and the questionable manner in which Lambie was managed, you’d have to agree that the youngster would have been better served continuing his development in a Sharks jumper. The Bok management introduced Lambie from the bench at odd times, and even the softest of critics would have viewed it as an example of a player being set up to fail. Morné Steyn was in great goal-kicking form, and yet coach Peter de Villiers decided to trade Steyn for Lambie at times when the game was still in the balance.
Lambie admitted that he would have liked a start, but tempered the talk of frustration by adding that the tour provided him with good exposure to the Bok systems. Sharks assistant coach Grant Bashford has been impressed with Lambie’s progress in Super Rugby, and suggests that the flyhalf took the whole Bok experience in his stride.
‘I’m not sure that he added anything to his game after touring with the Boks, but he certainly didn’t do himself a discredit,’ says Bashford. ‘A great deal of work has been done since his return, and he continues to impress everybody, not only with his skill, but also with his attitude.
‘We always felt he would end up at flyhalf, but fate certainly had a hand in his move to the position as early as last year. He came into the Super 14 side as a fullback because Adi Jacobs was out injured and we had to move Stefan Terblanche to outside centre. Then we moved Pat to No 12 in the Currie Cup and eventually to flyhalf when Steve Meyer suffered that big knee injury. Sometimes these things happen for the best.’
Butch James must start at No 10 for the Boks at this year’s World Cup, as he has the all-round game as well as the experience of having won the tournament in 2007. Lambie is the future of South African rugby, but history will show that experienced teams win World Cups.
There is still value in taking the 20-year-old to New Zealand and exposing him to a tournament of this magnitude. He’s handled everything the rugby world has thrown at him, and while it’s a travesty of justice that a starting opportunity didn’t come his way last November, Lambie’s shown a temperament that, like the rest of his skills set, is in another class.
‘Pat has so much time on the ball, he never gets rattled,’ says Bashford. ‘Sure, he’s got a great forward platform to play off, but he’s made the most of that possession.
‘He’s responded fantastically to the responsibility that’s been offered to him. He’s an old head on young shoulders, he makes the big calls and he’s asked for the responsibility to kick. He also has the respect of the younger and senior players. Everybody backs him to make the big decisions.’
And despite his perceived lack of size, he’s stood up to the physical intensity of top-flight rugby. Even in the matches where his forwards have been under pressure, as was the case in that loss to the Chiefs, he doesn’t shirk his defensive duties.
‘Pat’s not exactly small at 92kg,’ says Bashford. ‘His tackle efficiency [before he was sidelined for three weeks] is 93%, so he looks after that all-important flyhalf channel. It’s a channel every team targets nowadays, and Pat’s proved he can handle that pressure.’
The cynics have drawn parallels between Lambie and Frans Steyn, Ruan Pienaar and Brent Russell, but the fact that Lambie played fullback before flyhalf doesn’t mean that he’s doomed to a career as a utility. There was much debate about his best position in 2010, but the argument is now settled. Lambie is a flyhalf. End of story.
At a tender age, Lambie already offers more than Frans Steyn and Russell. Steyn never had the sharp decision-making skills required of a top-class 10, while Russell’s kicking game was a perpetual shortcoming. Pienaar had all the attributes but was never backed in the position, and at times struggled for confidence. It’s clear that Lambie has no such problem. Ask Van Straaten. Ask Bashford. Ask the kid himself. He can’t miss.
‘Pat’s already light years ahead of other players his age,’ says Van Straaten. ‘That kind of calmness under pressure usually comes with experience, but he’s already
there. He’s got all the time in the world, whether he’s running with the ball or kicking it. It’s a mark of the really good players.
‘He has time on his side, and I’d like to see him used in the Tri-Nations before the World Cup. Test rugby has more pressure and variables than Super Rugby. I’d like to see him entrusted with that responsibility, and I’d be surprised if he didn’t pass that test.’

fearless huh? i’m it was fear i saw in his face when cj dragon “ruffed” him up..
12 May 2011, 06:36 am
right this will sound really far fetched and im prob opening a can of worms, sorry this is not about lambie thought,
i just find it quiet weird as to how many first and 2nd choice all blacks are continuously injuired through the S15??
my personal opinion is that they are planning rest periods for each player they intend on taking to the world cup to ensure they aint burnt out, if you look each week there is a all black or 2 from each team out injuired for only 2-3 weeks per time, carter and richie are always being wrapped in cotton wool as well as players like mcalister, nonu, smith ( ALTHOUGH HE IS USELESS)
you might argue as to why they havnt done the same with SBW if my opinion is correct but my opinion is they will purely keep playing him to ensure he is what they want by the time the WC arrives and they have then decided as to who they will play outside him, anyways its a shot in the dark,
P.S. Lambie is a Legend
12 May 2011, 06:38 am
I see the Keo writers have been told to write about some of the other franchises. So they cut and paste their sa rugby articles where they’re given the team to write about?
Must be tough this week chaps, looking at a keo thread with so little stormers thread musty be hurting you.
12 May 2011, 06:42 am
Taking that high up and under right in front of his own tryline in the pouring rain during the Currie Cup semifinal is testament to his courage.
Terblanche and Montgomery would have fumbled it.
12 May 2011, 06:44 am
@seabiscuit(seabiscuit)-2:
I totally agree with your theory. It has been my suspicion for months now.
McCaw and Carter suddenly have injuries this close to a RWC…absolute balls!
12 May 2011, 06:59 am

Paranoia is a dangerous condition SB – it will spoil you life.
Your argument is undone by this picture of Conrad Smith’s broken nose:

But with your paranoia, I’m sure that you’ll claim its the Props Dept at Weta Studios in Wellington that is responsible for this picture.
Ma’a Nonu also cracked the bone in his eye socket…
But – what ever rocks your boat I guess…
12 May 2011, 07:00 am
it has been fantastic to see the young 10 s coming through the ranks and making there marks this season.
Lambie, Gary Van Aswegen,Sias Eberhsohn, Lionel Cronje.
Post 2011 WC will be most exciting.
12 May 2011, 07:03 am
@seabiscuit(seabiscuit)-2: well graham henry had it worked into the agreement with the kiwi franchises that every all black will get 2 weeks min rest in this year’s super rugby season & that is excluding the byes!

@Great White Shark(Predawn)-9:
What do you want – x-rays and doctors’ reports posted?
So – Richie McCaw will walk around for 3 months in a moon boot just to sustain a ruse (and try and confuse other rugby teams)???
Ag man, get real…(and get on with life).
12 May 2011, 07:14 am
@BillTong(BillTong)-10:
I shall consider myself well and truly put in my place. Your opinion is sacred sir.
12 May 2011, 07:23 am
Come on! Lambie was totally underwhelming on the unsuccessful EOYT in which he made his Bok debut and so far in the S15 he’s not ever been a game-breaker or even a danger-man. So far he’s just a very average journeyman at higher-level rugby. Prodigy? You’re kidding!
12 May 2011, 07:30 am
I like Lambie. I still think Eberson (Sias) will make a bigger impact this year. Let’s see how they he go against the best team in this comp. We have some great young talent coming through, exciting times.
12 May 2011, 07:38 am
@seabiscuit(seabiscuit)-2: even if that is the case, what is the problem with that, many teams have a rotation policy and periods where they will rest their players, in an extended S15 it is a necessity. i see your observation i just dont get why you see it as wrong?
12 May 2011, 07:40 am
@seabiscuit(seabiscuit)-2: You might be on to something. I think when Richie was injured Schalk was also held back imo. The Bulls shouldnt be playing Matfield this week, he should rest completely.
12 May 2011, 07:43 am
I said that Lambie should never have gone on the EOYT. The kid is a work in progress. He should not be the ‘miracle’ that ignites The Sharks backline but an essential cog in the backline.
He still has to prove himself. He does have talent though and at this rate should be close to the finished product by the middle of next season.
12 May 2011, 07:44 am
lambie will have a real opportunity to stake a WC claim against the Bulls at Loftus in a weeks time.
Lambie has gone into a bit of a shell the last 2 games, not sure the hand is 100% …
Class act though, very relaxed on the ball and makes sound tackles, fearless tackler….tougher than he looks…
still believe WC flyhalves should be Butch and Grant though.
12 May 2011, 07:45 am
@Great White Shark(Predawn)-16: agree
12 May 2011, 07:48 am
@Great White Shark(Predawn)-16: its amazing how SA does things with their talent huh, we build em up so quickly and then toss em aside just as quickly, by middle of next year i reckon Lambie will be about on his way to NH for a fresh start
12 May 2011, 07:49 am
Very good player , can only get better !!
12 May 2011, 07:58 am
@MacToogie(MacToogie)-19:
I hope not boet. Lambie is a fearless player and with the right mentoring and intelligent coaching he should excel.
Where South African players fail is in their mental preparation. This is where we get ribbed by the Aussies and Kiwis. Our players need to be decision makers mentally and physically. I suspect Ruan Pienaar was a victim of this failing by Plumtree.
12 May 2011, 08:03 am
@Great White Shark(Predawn)-21: at his age he plays with the calmness of Staphan, a very good sign indeed, all we can do is hope he isnt messed around like Frans and Ruan, when they switched him from FB, to FH then to center i said to myself here we go again
12 May 2011, 08:06 am
ja….important not to shift the oke from pillar to post.
12 May 2011, 08:16 am
@BillTong(BillTong)-10: welcome to the wonderful keo world of conspiracy…
NZ players “faking” injury, when you so rightly point out ONE example, it still didnt alleviate the natural mindset found on this very site by the majority of SA bloggers…
ANZAC reffing alliance, Paddy Obrien as head of refs etc etc…
now NZ players “faking” injuries…. bwahahaa its amazing how one little “get the yarpies” email has entrenched itself in the psyche of sooooo many SA’s…
12 May 2011, 08:21 am
@seabiscuit(seabiscuit)-2: Smith useless? go back to roundball chump…
hes been the best 13 in the world, runs amazing lines and has been the reason Nonu has looked so good… not a one trick pony like Fourie (does this man EVER pass the ball?)…
as for your injury theory, is it the same way SA have been resting Brussouw and FDP for the last year or so… bwahahahahahaha

@poppa69(poppa69)-25:
The Dr Evil laugh needs a revamp. Try something else.
12 May 2011, 08:38 am
This from News 24. One of the first times a ref has come out saying something like this:
“Stephen Nell
Cape Town – Dewaldt Duvenage’s “try” that was not awarded early on in Saturday’s Super Rugby match between the Stormers and Crusaders should have been awarded.
That was the word on Wednesday from SANZAR referees selector Tappe Henning when he was asked about the incident in the match at Newlands.
Henning has subsequently discussed the incident with referee Chris Pollock and the error has been pointed out to him.
“It was a try. The referee made the wrong call and was supposed to play advantage. The assistant referee told him that he could play advantage and he incorrectly awarded a lineout to the Crusaders,” said Henning.
Duvenage intercepted the ball after a quick throw-in by Crusaders captain Kieran Read. Read had one foot in play when he took the throw-in, but the fact that the illegal throw-in had been intercepted should have brought the advantage law into play….”
Yes I know we still lost. I’m over it.
12 May 2011, 08:39 am
@Great White Shark(Predawn)-26: you think so?
I think it sits perfectly with how stupid the whole “faking injury” conspiracy is? dont you?
Like Whitelock (the lock), his 6 weeks out or whatever it is, is only a ruse by the NZRFU so he will be right for the World Cup
oh no, thats another example to go with Billtongs, surely not, 2 kiwi players actually NOT faking injury…
eish..

The Christchurch earthquake on Feb. 22 had forced organisers to refund about $20 million from the 130000 tickets sold for the seven matches that had been scheduled for the city.
Christchurch ticket holders have priority for the rescheduled matches and would receive notification on how they could purchase those tickets on Friday, organisers said in a statement.
Prior to the earthquake, organisers had sold a total of 919000 tickets, worth $189 million. They have budgeted for a total ticket revenue of $268 million.
“Pre-Christchurch, ticket sales were exactly where we expected them to be,” Rugby New Zealand 2011 chief executive Martin Snedden said in the statement on Thursday — the first day tickets were delivered to fans.
“The transfer of matches so close to kick-off is unprecedented for any major event and has created significant additional challenges, but we remain confident that we should be able to recoup the bulk of the refunded sales within the next two months or so.
“Overall, we still remain confident that, by tournament-end, we will achieve our sales target of $268 million and 1,35 million tickets.”
Tournament organisers are only allowed to keep revenue generated from ticket sales and must underwrite the costs of hosting the tournament and pay a licence fee to the International Rugby Board.
Organisers had budgeted for an operating loss of about $40 million, which is to be underwritten by the New Zealand government and New Zealand Rugby Union.
Snedden said the final phase of ticket sales would begin on July 4, when all remaining tickets would be made available for purchase.
“Tickets will remain on sale until they are gone and we urge fans to get in quick as this really will represent the last opportunity to secure a place ringside at rugby’s biggest tournament,” Snedden said.
“The final sales phase is traditionally a strong sales period for major events. As was the case in Australia in 2003 and France in 2007 we fully expect that to be the case in New Zealand.”

Dear Mr Sneddon,
I personally know a oke who phoned his mates when the final whistle blew after the all blacks choked against France,told his mates let’s go and watch the final.
They had no accomodation or tickets,just jumped on the first plane.
They bought tickets for the final from teary kiwis outside the stadium at face value,no mark up.
History has a way of repeating itself.
12 May 2011, 09:12 am

12 May 2011, 09:40 am
JC – i love the way you slip in that Butch MUST start at 10 … Surely if Lambie can do two S15s, one disasterous EOYT and hopefully the 3N in ’11 he has enough experience ?
I would turn it around and say IF Butch can stay injury free then he will benefit the RWC squad not Lambie…
Isnt it interesting that as Lambie has ascended Morne has gone the other way ?
It all comes back to the forwards, you could put DC behind the Bok current tight 5 and he would do f…. all. Lets rather pray that Juan Smith and Brussow are fit for RWC then worry about 10, 11, 12,15 etc..
I do rate Lambie, shame that to reach his full potential he should go to an Aus S15 team

God, you and your braying and your generalisations and your trawling this place looking for something to jump on are so boring….no check that, you were boring a year ago already. Now you’re just getting sad. Even sadder tha skop which I didn’t think was possible. Get a life, get some friends.
You joke about rape, apartheid , crime etc on a RUGBY blog without a care in you ignorant uninformed head, ( and justify yourself that the opinions of a few bloggers even more ignorant and uninformed than you make it OK ) but watch the reaction when someone crack a joke about an earthquake…. You jump up and down screaming and repeatedly s*****g your pants…hypocritical much?

12 May 2011, 09:48 am
Bambie is the real deal.
You cant fake technique nor temperment. He might lack the razzle and dazzle of Carter but he is clearly our best flyhalf. He has upped his percenatges for goal, which certain sectors where hoping this white kid would fail, which makes him my pick for the Boks. Shame on you closet racsit no1.Tranny. Look at who his 2 outside centres are too which shows you his talent.
He is not brittle like Pienaar and does not need to be held back either. He needs to be in the RWC squad and hopefully our verkrampde nature does not see him exlcuded for Butch or Grant.
He even had the nous to turn towards the tryline so if the ball fumled it would go towards the line. The first time I saw him, he fielded a high kick by catching the ball in the air. Now that is basic but how many Saffa players catch the ball with thier feet firmaly on the ground??? So doff.
Go Bambie proove your doubters wrong and help keep our trophy at home where it belongs (Thats for you poopa)

you saw DC pull up with a hammy at Twickenham – faking it ?

C.Smith (briliiant against Boks in 2010) had his nose spread like peanut butter – faking it ?

pooper69 is just homesick.he left nz because it is boring and the chances of making a good carreer is slim.
nz is full of expats and islanders mostly,most kiwis are in aus.
why is that?
pooper i have got bigger fish to fry than to debate with you.i am working on a development and a idea for a niche restaurant.

so one eyed supporters are allowed to say all sorts of things, but others have to just take it and shut up? lol Ive seen plenty worse said about NZ then Ive ever said about SA…but keep that other eye closed, mate…
bully boy mentality at its finest.. I actually come here to try and get a SA perspective on rugby, but then I have to wade through the countless jibes/put downs/downright hate directed at me and my ilk just because we happen to have a great rugby team..
s dont get all righteous now… unless of course you can point me to the posts of yours that show that you berate all those who throw insults around on this site, not just the international contingent..
but I wont hold my breath…

hilarious innit, the paranoia factor apparently multiplies exponentially in RWC year.
to name Conrad (peanut butter nose) and Nonu (broken eye socket) and McCaw (metal screw) and STILL think theres enough there to plant a conspiracy seed, well desperation never was a good look.

not my fault a lot of Saffas here (like Fern and HG) hardly ever talk about rugby, but Ive seen how precious so many of you have got over one little comment of mine…
food for thought perhaps? probably not, because blokes like fern are born and bred on hatred, its in their blood, in their genetic makeup, they just cant help it…

Is it any coincidence that Matfield “should” have been rested for Bulls on the same weekend that McCaw/DC/Conrad/Nonu all get accused of ‘faking injuries’ ?

Maybe Big Vic has an arm injury you can find underneath that reinforced titanium armblade of his n?

@Atreides(Atreides)-79: Choking? rugby? you mean like when the WCs choked in the 19-0 at Newlands? was that a choke? just trying to understand the term correctly..
ANZAC alliance? seriously? this is rugby? the Anzac alliance doesnt even exist, the ANZACs were men who served during the world wars, how the fark is the ANZACs rugby?
Conspiracies? how is that rugby? thats just a bunch of sore losers trying to salvage some pride by blaming their teams poor perfromance on other factors (and before you mention it, I never believed the Susie theory)..
Apartheid = quotas? not rugby? ok then, if you say so..
Crime? agreed, not rugby, but then neither is Sheepshaggers aye?

@Atreides(Atreides)-84:
Gov states it costs something like R60 000 to build a rdp house.This most prob includes the establishment of services.Sexwale recently announced that “free” housing is a thing of the past so it will be interesting to see how this is going to work.
There is a transfer of deed when a rdp house is delivered,but a rdp house can not be sold by it’s owner,this in turn means no loan can be made and the house put up as surity.
12 May 2011, 10:17 am
@poppa69(poppa69)-63: Strange how you mention righteous, I would even say sanctimonious .. but about you.
Of course there is trash talking on this site, it is a one eyed Bok site and nobody i have read pretends it is the dictum of fairness.
If you dont like the talk and it is by no way your role nor mine to moderate it then dont come on here.
Back to the square root, go to Silverfern where its all sweetness and light. Oh and I bet there are no derogatory remarks about SA on there ? Because of course you as adjudictor would challenege them right ?
Your comments are equally as inflamatory at times, that is fine its an open forum but dont pretend your interest in this site is purely “perspective on NZ rugby”.
Enjoy your great rugby team !

“What the hell is wrong with throwing some plastic bottles in the air! i was at an all blacks game in hamilton 2 years ago and there was a mexican wave and bottles were thrown in the air and onto the feild, no media reports on that one. Sure i think it was uncalled for to boo the ozzys and throw bottles on the feild. but atmosphere makes a game!”…. LOLLLLLLLL!!!

@Atreides(Atreides)-100:
rdp housing is being built in double and triple storey blocks,and are also integrated with gap housing.when single units were built on stands,the people still erected shacks to rent out for a income.Diepsloot is a case in point.I have seen a guy build a double storey structure with 14 small rooms that he rents out.Here is the main problem,the services was not designed for this unforeseen population explosion.rdp townships now have more communual areas where the people can play sport and relax and no illegal squatting can happen.
12 May 2011, 10:40 am
@MacToogie(MacToogie)-103: Dont stress it, we all know how much of a “leg up” the ABs get from IRB …Shame is they dont need it, they are a damn good side at the moment.
Problem for us is ANC politics is killing the game, deliberate or not I still cant decide. So to compete with NZRU at all shows just how good our guys (have) been.

Ok so now that everyone has got their morning frustrations out, here’s a thought;
With Ruan clearly being earmarked as a Flyhalf, if reports are to be believed, and PDV’s love for Butch, will there be a place for Lambie in the Bok squad?
Assuming that Morne Steyn is a given, that is…….
Butch
Morne
Ruan

12 May 2011, 11:15 am
@At least Os will still wear green (but no gold)(stormersboy)-111: i think Ruan will bee seen as cover for both half back positions,

Yes, you’ve always been very careful to not use the name Suzie, whilst still actually accusing SA of poisoning the AB’s in 95. Even going so far as to suggest that the office of the President may have ordered the poisoning! And then using INVICTUS as possible evidence…… Now if that’s not a conspiracy theory, then I don’t know what is.
And in case you conveniently don’t remember it, I’ve taken the libery to share some of your previous posts copied and pasted below:
488.poppa69: Reply to this comment
7 May 2010, 14:57 pm
@Vetkoek(Vetkoek)-477:
1) poisoned by poor food, yes, by a waitress, no… as Ive always stated..
2) yes I do, otherwise why would Luyt have done that? you dont always have to pay a bribe before the event now do you? do you admit that it looks dodgy even today? that before the WC final the SARU president was giving a gold watch to the man whose 78th minute decision ensured his team made the final?
3) yes…
525.poppa69:
7 May 2010, 15:20 pm
@Vetkoek(Vetkoek)-521: the question is, why did Luyt offer it to him in the first place?? cmon, face that one? because he was the best ref or because he gave a dubious decision in favour of the home side? who probably where slated by the IRB to win as reward for the seemingly noble notion of transformation…
one only has to see Invictus, the line were mandela states categorically that they HAD to win the WC, so the fact the ABs could have been poisoned with an order from the top office is a real possibility..
12 May 2011, 11:29 am
@MacToogie(MacToogie)-116: It is customary to take 3 scrumhalves and 3 hookers. The rest is determined by personal preference for the team make up.
A guy like Ruan may be seen as the 3rd scrummie after Porra and maybe Francois, likewise Lambie may be seen as a utility and that may influence selection. Lambie, Butch, Grant and even Steyn can all play 12 (and 15 in the case of Lambie) so that may lead to one less backline specialist getting chosen.
If you look at the Centers, for example, you have JDV, JDJ and Jaque who are shoe ins at this stage. Add in a WO to the mix and you start to get a very crowded list, one that lambie and Grant will struggle to both get onto…..
All of this presupposes that there are no injuries of course..
12 May 2011, 11:31 am
@MacToogie(MacToogie)-116: You have John as general front row cover which may open up some space, it depends on the viewpoint they take.
You already have Beast, Gurthro, CJ and Jannie likely to be in the team. Bissie and John. A.N. Other. (hooker)
Will they leave one of the above 4 props behind? Not sure.
12 May 2011, 11:37 am

12 May 2011, 11:49 am
@At least Os will still wear green (but no gold)(stormersboy)-119: How can Francois be seen as a scrummie? He never plays there. Sarel should get the 2nd spot. Ruan is a bench specialist as he can cover many positions.
12 May 2011, 11:52 am
@MacToogie(MacToogie)-126: I am determined to not choose the squad until the end of the competition. Having said that, most of the squad chooses itself, we know John will be captain, but who will be hooker no 3? For me Strauss is that guy on this year’s form.
Grant or Lambie?
Spies? Will he start?
Alberts will be in the squad for sure, but will he play? Will Juan be fit?
For me too many unknowns at this stage…
Keen to see your picks, I’d rather give you my opinion on your picks, but for me the most contentious picks are the ones I’ve raised above.
12 May 2011, 11:52 am
@poppa69(poppa69)-123: you see now chap, if you’d heeded my call to cease all hostilities and discuss the merits of whether lambie is “fearless” or not you wouldn’t be offering lame excuses about “context”.

both pienaar and hougaard offer bench options.
between them they cover every position in the backline.
12 May 2011, 11:58 am
@garth(garth)-128: He was the second scrummie last year, and actually has done really well when played there.
I’m not talking about who I think are the best in the positions, I’m referring to who i believe will actually get picked.
I agree with you on Sarel, you’ll find many posts of mine talking about how good he is.
Ruan may well get picked as a scrummie/flyhalf cover, a possibility I referred to above.
Thing is, we just don’t know. Yet.

@Transformation(Transformation)-130: I can take the hit Trans… he’s gone to all that trouble to prove me wrong, cant deny him his moment…
(although if I spent the time I probably could),,
as for Lambie being fearless, old HG was accusing us of Tall Poppy syndrome, yet look at the hype this kids under… let him develop first.. Fearless in a rugby context at his young age when (correct me if Im wrong, as I know you will
) he hasnt started a full test match? A CC final is not the same as a test match, especially SH opponents… he may prove me wrong and step up to that level no problem, but expectation on the kid is as bad as that on the ABs..
does his rugby need that at this stage?
12 May 2011, 12:09 pm
@At least Os will still wear green (but no gold)(stormersboy)-129: Fair enough
Steenkamp

Du Preez
Houghaard
Ruan
Butch
Steyn
Lambie
De Villiers
Fourie
De Johng
Olivier
Mvovo
Basson
Aplon
F Steyn
I pick Lambie because he can cover Fullback, FH and at a push centre, Houghaard can cover wing and Aplon can cover FB or wing, Russouw can play flank or lock, i would start with Butch James but have steyn on the bench for his ability to take pressure kicks. i only include Olivier because i cant think of any other center worthy of going, WO is a filler.
12 May 2011, 12:14 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-135: forgot to add, or will he end up another Steyn, ruined by being rushed too quickly without having the game maturity to match it…
is it only his first full super season as well? (honest question)
12 May 2011, 12:15 pm
@Great White Shark(Predawn)-115:
theyre injured.
GH said last season that in 2011, ABs would get 2 weeks off S15 incl McCaw missing opening 2 rounds. He did not know at the time that McCaw had a stress fracture that would require a metal screw.
despite that, you fell – leapt – straight in to SeaBiscuits conspiracy theory (at 2) that Nonu, Smith etc were all part of this ‘veil of secrecy’ from the ABs.
theyre injured.
12 May 2011, 12:16 pm
@MacToogie(MacToogie)-136: Interresting. I see you’ve left Pierre Spies out in the forwards, I can see you reasoning, have no fault there.
No Habs or JPP in the backline? Basson for sure, not sure if i’d take Mvovo, understand why you may not pick Brian.
You post makes a lot of sense, I could live with this squad quite easily, even though I may pick one or two players differently.
One of the reasons why I want to wait until the end of the season is to se where guys like Habanna, Chilli, JPP, Steyn and Spies are, form wise.
12 May 2011, 12:25 pm
@At least Os will still wear green (but no gold)(stormersboy)-139: yeah, Spies for me is not a loose forward, he doesnt hit rucks, and he doesnt drive over the ball, which is sad for a guy his size, i suggested it the other day that maybe putting him at center where he can run onto the ball and use his size to get over the gain line at pace may be worth a try, i had Pieterson but like he did on 2007, i think Basson and Mvovo would bring in some youthful energy, JPP is coasting for me. no need to talk about Brian right now, if he hits form Mvovo would be dropped. Chiliboy i put in because Both he and Strauss are injury prone but Chili has been on more trips with the boks, thats the only deciding factor for me on that one.
12 May 2011, 12:31 pm
@MacToogie(MacToogie)-140: Fair points all. Cannot fault them at all.
I think Pierre will get picked, whether we agree with it or not, which leaves Vermeulen out in the cold I guess. No Kanko? I guess you only have so many slots.
I agree with you on Pierre being too soft, given his athletic potential. Still there have been games where he’s looked amazing.
Consistancy has been an issue with him for some time now.

12 May 2011, 12:44 pm
@At least Os will still wear green (but no gold)(stormersboy)-141: well im quite sure PdV picks will look nothing like mine, kanko for me is also a bit too soft, if you look at the new interpretations, in my opinion, its better for a team’s forwards to drive over the ball that to try steal it with one player, and conversely you want the bigger guys from stopping that counter ruck, Kanko and Spies are for a looser type of game which i dont think the Boks should strive for.

yes, its somewhat ironic isnt it
Safas have invented squillions of Conspiracy Theories over the years and recited them repeatedly ‘as fact’ – citings, travel, referees, rule changes, SANZAR & IRB collusion – and yet the ONE Theory they dismiss out of hand, laughably, is the one where they benefitted from, when all the moons wondrously aligned (at home, at altitude, dodgy Semi win, 20 of the matchday-22 NZ squad sick, ABs chundering on the sideline).
you would almost call this over-reliance and quick-dismissiveness of Conspiracy Theories

yep, its convenient alright.
‘only a first name’ ?
yup, most of us have one
my favourite SA Conspiracy Theory, out of the squillions, was a recent one….it went something like ‘after 2009, when the Boks beat ABs 3-0, IRB (ie Paddy) changed the Laws of Rugby Union to negate the Boks thrilling kick’n'clap tactics and changed it specifically to suit NZs running game and thereby give NZ an advantage enough to win the RWC’
It was so accepted that Krusty even felt so bold as to verbalise it in 2010 after getting his butt spanked in NZ.
and to think, ‘poisoning’ is dismissed out of hand by the same deluded minds.
convenient, no ?
12 May 2011, 14:11 pm
@Black Panther(Black Panther)-191: All I know is I’m really looking forward to Excuse Version 2011. You guys really let yourselves down last time with the “Forward Pass” – no imagination, no drama, no magic. I trust you’ll do better after your quarterfinal exit this year. Something like “The midget prostitutes that were given to the team as a traditional pre-tournament gift by the ANC Youth League were all deliberately infected with a rare strain of foot and mouth disease that affected Danny’s kicking, Richie’s hearing and Sunni’s forward pass judgement”. I’ll almost buy that.
12 May 2011, 14:12 pm
@>^..^< katman(katman)-187: Get your fact straight. It was “get the yarpies”. They couldn’t even spell that correctly. We rolled over and played dead on that one.

12 May 2011, 14:28 pm
Articles such as these are enjoyable to read, but provide little value.
The reason I say this is because the author speaks about one player in isolation.
A far more insightful angle would be arguing Lambie’s value in specific combinations.
For example, what kind of scrumhalf would benefit his game, and vice versa? More importantly for me, what kind of 12 do you want to play next to Lambie vis-a-vis Morne Steyn?
That is the kind of analysis I expect on Keo and his journalists and I am sorry to say, it is becoming ever more rare.
12 May 2011, 14:31 pm

@At least Os will still wear green (but no gold)(stormersboy)-193: the difference between the Suzie and ANZAC reffing conspiracies is that there is an email to prove our theory, no one can dispute the mail, even those sods apologized for it proving the whole thing, i say to the kiwis, dont be pissed at us for the ability to effectively hide our under handedness
12 May 2011, 14:42 pm
@willievz(willievz)-198: lambie takes the ball up because all the 12s he’s played with @ the Sharks are prone to making a balls up of his service!
12 May 2011, 14:48 pm
Ag dammit, I can’t read this long article. I stopped reading at “Jon Cardinelli…”
Just kidding, gimme the synopsis. So Lambie is the business and Morne is a vrotvel and Lambie needs to usurp the Bok 10 jersey if Grant can’t have it? Is that about it?
12 May 2011, 14:50 pm
@Transformation(Transformation)-201:
A strong crash ball 12 such as JDV would do very well with Lambie because the latter attacks the gain line and distributes the ball from a flatter position than say M.Steyn.
IMO the combination of M.Steyn and JDV is extremely ineffective since the latter starts his march to the gain line from too deep. In layman’s terms, I view this combination as the primary reason why the Boks cannot score tries.
If you are going to pick M.Steyn you need a quick stepping centre on his outside.
12 May 2011, 14:51 pm
In addition to the above, this is why JDV does so well with Grant and Cronje, as they also stand a lot flatter.
12 May 2011, 14:55 pm
ah yes, the famous ‘email’ that noone has ever seen but that every Safa appears to know the contents of verbatim.
So since it was discovered in Tutankhamens Tomb, it was immediately secreted away for fear of The Curse ?

12 May 2011, 15:08 pm
That moment when he with contempt in his eyes and with disdainful ease pawed off that ‘great’ rep of bulk, the bully ‘hond’ , clumsy oaf of rugby, Schalk, was clearly a Hugo Porta-esque moment in rugby. I cannot recall anyone quite doing that to that ‘Bok brute so effortlessly as the ‘boy’ danced his way over the try-line to place the ball close to the uprights.
That one glorious moment separated the boy from the fearless man except that the boy was the big Sulk and the fearless man was patrick Lambie.
For good measure he again scored a 2nd try in a match so importantand balanced on a thread and successfully too slotted the kicks at poles. Surelly Porta would have been so proud to have seen that if he has.
12 May 2011, 15:09 pm

I have noticed that “That FWD Pass” is brought up by Saffas here zillion times more than Kiwis/ABs fans even care to remember.

12 May 2011, 15:17 pm
so it’s official, Sharks fans all over SA are supporters of kiwi teams against the Stormers
from SW:
Game 3: Chiefs v Stormers.
This one is easy. Sorry Stormers, but we need the Chiefs to beat you well enough that you get no points from this game. That will put us level on points at the top of the South African conference, leaving us to overhaul you when you lose to the Blues the following week. No loyalty, just business.

@MacToogie(MacToogie)-235: You are correct. It is exactly correct that last time it happened Bill Clinton was still the president of the United States.
Just saying that thereafter, apart from blips in 04 and 09, Boks played second fiddle to the ABs, therefore such an emphasis on friendly outside help.
Othewise I would see there “Boks”, “Boks”, instead of “choking”, “France”.
12 May 2011, 15:35 pm

So you should have no trouble reading the New Zealand Herald piece, 5:00 AM Friday Mar 26, 1999 titled Rugby: referee fiasco sends out the wrong message, in which the NZRFU chief executive David Moffett, admits that Keith Lawrence had sent the email and that he had apologised to Freek Burger for doing it?
It’s still in the NZH archives.
Oh, but that’s right, you won’t accept it as fact until actually discussing the matter with Keith Lawrence yourself now will you.
Anyway – it was a bit of nothing in the end anyway. In true SA spirit, we cheerfully put it behind us and picked up another Webb Ellis trophy just to rub it in a little for the kiwis who are what – 24 years and counting now is it? My word, that’s a long time.

I’m actually not sure which is more sad. Being stupid enough to send an email conspiring to “teach the japies a lesson” or being the only country in world rugby to win the World Cup when one of the worlds best teams wasn’t allowed to play.
Which makes 87 a bit meaningless really. One could just about say that New Zealand have never really won a world cup. It’s like having wimbledon, but not allowing Federer to play…. you can never really claim to be a true winner unless you’ve been in a competition involving all the best teams.

since everyone in SA knows it word-for-word

ps – did you ever here the one about the Boks and the ‘travel disadvantage’ ?
uh- huh
well, last time that wee Urban Myth came up – repeated as if fact – it was shown that the Boks travelled LESS than Aus & NZ, not MORE.
schucks
y’know, Bok excuses just keep running out
I even had BokiNZ trying to say that it was Paul Honiss in Ireland (2004) that started all the ‘out to get the Japies’ paranoia. Funny that. Wasnt it Piet van Zyl’ot who ran on to the field in 2 years previously and attacked the ref ?
which begs the question – was it 1976 that made Paddy angry to write the email ? was it ‘the email’ that made Piet angry ? was it Piet that made Honiss angry ? was it Honiss that made Krusty angry last year when he blatantly accused the IRB of colluding with NZ to ensure they won the RWC ?

Rugby: Referee fiasco sends out the wrong message
5:00 AM Friday Mar 26, 1999
By NZPA
An embarrassed New Zealand Rugby Football Union yesterday smoothed over a potentially harmful row with South Africa, saying the incident had been dealt with internally.
NZRFU chief executive David Moffett would not say if the perpetrator, New Zealand manager of referee development Keith Lawrence, had been reprimanded.
Lawrence was forced to apologise to his South African counterpart Freek Burger following the sending of an e-mail which contained derogatory remarks about Burger. The e-mail had been sent to arrange a conference call between the three Super 12 referee managers but is understood to have contained earlier dialogue – not intended for South Africa – which had taken place between Lawrence and his
Australian counterpart.
Keith has spoken to Freek Burger and has apologised to him and Freek Burger has graciously accepted that apology and they between them have decided to move on and put it behind them,” Moffett said.
“It’s something we would have preferred not to have happened, it was a mistake and it has been apologised for.”
Both the NZRFU and South African Rugby Union have said there was no conspiracy involved in the e-mail in which the Anzac partners agreed to “teach the Japies (South Africans ) a lesson.”
The message went on: “We won’t tell Freek what we have decided and make sure (SARU chief executive Rian) Oberholzer doesn’t get involved.”
Moffett said the issue stemmed from a frustration related to the assessment criteria and standards to be used in assessing referees.
“There was a degree of frustration in respect to this which boiled over into the e-mail,” he said.
“It should not have happened and Keith is aware of that and he’s apologised for it. That is the issue and it does not involve anything else.”
Moffett said the refereeing assessment procedures had now been resolved between the Super 12 participants.
Changes to the interpretations of some rules and the referees’ ability to carry them out have been at the root of a less appealing Super 12 competition this year, but Moffett said the laws would be in place until the World Cup in October/November and it was up to the players to adapt.
The laws will be then revisited by the International Rugby Board and Moffett said it was likely New Zealand would be keen for a closer look at some of the issues.
That will teach the basteraud japies.
12 May 2011, 16:58 pm
this is a question for all those who chose ‘Springbok history’ as their Mastermind subject…..
Have the Springboks EVER been defeated due solely, and only, to being ‘outplayed’ ?
for the avoidance of doubt, that means:-
Not because of ->
cheating referees (which is helpful, to get the 97% out of the way first).
cheating opposition players (phew, there goes another 2.75%)
No players banned
Not Quotas
Not the weather
Not travel
Not IRB-NationalUnions conspiracies
Not drug bans
Not protesters
…..well, thats a helpful start anyway.
?
12 May 2011, 17:02 pm
@Black Panther(Black Panther)-305:
You have made the thread very predictable and deathly boring.
12 May 2011, 17:07 pm
@Black Panther(Black Panther)-184:
Please get your conspiracy theory straight.
All the reports I have read said there were a hell of a lot less than 20 out of the 22 suffering ill effects.
And of those that were suffering ill effects a hell of a lot less were chundering.
But dont let the facts get in the way of a good story
They never did find the source of the bad food. They claimed the hotel but even that was not verified. The ABs were sneaking out and eating outside the hotel (saw it the prev week with my own eyes). Burger joints, KFC, Pizza and fish joints all got well hit.
Even if it was the hotel we dont know if it was accidental. And even if it wasnt accidental we dont know the paymaster (Asian betting syndicates etc.).
And even if all that is true…. the AB management ignored hotel advice to eat in a roped of area from the same buffet as the other residents. It makes it harder to nobble the guys.

@gunther(gunther)-306: Jeez man, when he said cut & paste, he didn’t actually mean for you to cut & paste. This is as embarrassing as it was back in ’99.

@gunther(gunther)-306:
Nice one Suzi
that article has, of course, been here many times, as you know
it still aint ‘the email’
I like the way “teach the Japies a lesson” has been conveniently cherry-picked and then edited in with “dont tell Freek what we have decided….”
WHAT have they “decided” ?
WHAT is “the lesson” ?
Sounds like gossip between employees
No hand-picked minimal content like that was ever the basis for a successful outcome.
One day, ‘the email’ might even surface. The whole email and nothing but the email. Until then…

Actually
youre right for once
it IS pretty boring isnt it
I turned up on a thread about Lambie – a player I reckon is very talented and have said so often enough – only to find BS anti-AB posts at no2
what is it about youse fellas that even when you have a good player, one to celebrate all of your own, that the 1st thing that springs to mind is anti-cr@p about someone elses player ??!!??
scroll thru the thread
its the same farkwits every day who turn up and start it every time
Boy George
Fern
PrePrawn
JL1
(tactually, far too many to list)
and then fellas like G10 who just want to talk footy, as does Skop if you ever read between the lines, they get abused for being so needy.
youre right then
its boring
Lambie – WHAT a promising young player !!!!! Good enough for the Boks starting XV, what do YOU reckon ?
12 May 2011, 17:22 pm
@Shark attack(Dawnpre)-313:
actually NZ never said it “was SA” in 1995
thats just your conscience talking

Lambie – WHAT a promising young player !!!!! Good enough for the Boks starting XV, what do YOU reckon ?
Personally I do not think he is nearly good enough. I cursed, swore and vloeked de Villiers for choosing him. I knew it was waaay too soon. It still is. he will be ready for the RWC in four years from now.
12 May 2011, 17:34 pm
@gunther(gunther)-306: Best I got out of that article:
“teach the Japies (South Africans ) a lesson.”
The message went on: “We won’t tell Freek what we have decided and make sure (SARU chief executive Rian) Oberholzer doesn’t get involved.”
Can you feel the love?
12 May 2011, 17:36 pm
WTF!!!!
Another Lambie storie just so he can take a hammering from the clowns in here??

12 May 2011, 17:50 pm
@Shark attack(Dawnpre)-317:
I also agree with that too.
I still believe the Boks style is best suited by Morne the Metronomic and then cross your fingers its a penalty-ridden bun fight of a RWC, like most of the others have been. For SA/Krusty to change take now, so late in the piece, and start a running game (like he originally said he would) with someone like Grant (he should) or Lambie (possibly) would probably be too late for it all to knit. Especially when he’s thinking of bringing in overseas players (Ruan Woods, the Hoff), who play different patters in NH club rugby.
I hope its a festival of running rugby and may the best team win, whether that be ABs or France or Samoa or Ireland who ever. As long as they run it.

actually the reality of the saga is one imbecile Herr Goon is the perfect living example of human devolution in nature… without any doubts here is perfect conspicuous proof that devolution has absolutely taken place in the homosapien species.. right before our very own eyes on a rugby blog the evidence is outright overwhelming.

Red Meat = rotting carrion butchered and slaughtered a few months before and frozen in Pick and Pay and Woolworths butcheries before schmucks like you go and burn it on some coals or else stick it in the microwave to try get it alive again.
Fokol value in red meat and more so the actual ingredients are deader than dead and rotting further in your legume digestive tract designed gluttony confused gut.

HG read some stuff on Annunaki and pooh pooh pooh… till he goes boo boo boo hoo but the poor schmuck got no fathom of a clue as to who the hell his actual ancestors are or were. Blue eyed blond haired Aryans coming out of India and the Caucuses so where the hell they originate from… Africa?

@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-387: Don’t mean to pooh pooh your story here, but what exactly is the point you seem to be labouring? You have a go at braaivleis, rooiwyn & bier culture, saying that we’re all going to be smited (or is that smut?) by some angry comet. But so what? If we’re all fooked, then all the more reason to indulge now. It’s times like these that you must regret wasting your life on tofu, chick peas and beetroot juice.

For Jocky @@JockBok(JockBok)-386:
Its a Utube video of a direct Nasa link as to how they tracking this thing which is coming pretty darn near from end October and closest at 8-9 Nov. this year.
I posted one link on that nuclear motherless fallout thread the other day a little while before the warthog skewing hackneyed gobbledygook screwball decided to try his oneupmanship red meat pandering idiotic ploys
here it is again

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_8KxbY248I&feature=related
Its just one link of a few where this one guy has studied how every time it aligns between earth and moon and sun there’s an earth quake and a pretty massive one and it aligned same time as Haiti earth quake and Christchurch and Japan and next time it aligns its only something like 300Au away and right within our solar orbit.. and some these guys are getting pretty darn concerned.

You gotta decide for yourself what your priorities are.. if they are braaivleis beer and rooi wyn go right ahead.. but like Joost just found out… none of this braai vleis bier and rooi wyn culture gonna bring you anywhere near to what you actual concerns or your actual real priorities are here on this illusionary little pantomime ferris wheel we going round and round on this merry mayhem carousel for.
History is very short… better check out how long humanity been at this short span pinnacle of his so called evolution and check just how quick it all gets dissipated back to the beginning once again… then consider your own personal responsibility here for what its worth and what the hell you actually doing inhabiting a homosapien body for.
12 May 2011, 21:01 pm
@JockBok(JockBok)-394:
There a few others maybe the fear factor was too close for comfort and Nasa or somebody told him to remove it.
I’ll check around if there any others worth looking at..
Its not about doomsday glooms day we concerned with this stuff… its actually about reality.. because this little planet is like a wafting fig leaf in the cosmic breeze and anytime some sun or planet or meteorite or comet force of nature decide to sneeze out there we may just find we heading for a little hiccup or two around the next orbit, as we done plenty times before… only we just don’t remember the last time around.
12 May 2011, 21:03 pm
One thing I’ve come to realise about the types that reckon themselves deep and spiritual (and above us mortals who prefer to indulge in the here and now) is that they love to speak in vague riddles, because specifics will expose the emperor as pretty darn naked. So when they speak of “priorities” and “important things”, they very seldom put their ***** on the block with crystal clarity. They prefer to feed the mystique, because that’s all they normally have. Just saying.
12 May 2011, 21:04 pm
@Black Panther(Black Panther)-304: Yup, I stand corrected. I though you were referring the last time ABs lost to them in the WC as since then it did not look like happening again.

12 May 2011, 21:24 pm
Thats nature, you eat what you eat, you drink what you drink and you reap what you sow thats how it goes… it ain’t about retribution its about simple natural reality.. so catch a wide awake wake up
Sometimes its better to get outa here earlier than later… Joost got his baggage to concern himself with just like everybody else has got thier’s.. no more no less.
Perhaps nature is kind and takes him out quick that’s the best he can hope for right now… quicker the better.

@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-403: Ah, more mysticism. Let’s bathe in it’s aura for a while. Soak it up. Become one with whatever the *** we’re supposed become one with. Tra-la-la gobbledegook doesn’t impress or bamboozle me. I know you’re on some Krishna-esque reincarnation vibe here (although you feel a little silly spelling it out because it sounds terrifically nuts), but that lucky packet spirituality won’t do jackshit for you when we’re talking icy comet tails here. Only thing that helps you deal with that kind of reality is a medium rare pepper fillet washed down with a monstrous goblet of mature Shiraz. Trust the katman, old chap.
12 May 2011, 21:31 pm
@JockBok(JockBok)-400:
Yeah Jocky that’s close and when it was over 1000 Au away it aligned with sun and earth and we got those other earthquakes, and some these guys getting pretty darned concerned that if that is the reason for those earthquakes because the incidents are just too uncanny for haphazard coincidence that every time there was an alignment there was an earth quake in the last 18 months or so, that this time its gonna be aligning with Earth and sun within a 300 Au radius of us.
Perhaps the Mayans did actually know some stuff we dunno boo or bah about? Who knows?

catch a wake up for yourself thats about all you idiot dumb fool can actually try and do within your four score years and ten sojourn more or less here.
its all about stupefied ego for you imbeciles, idiots, its all about who knows what and who don’t as if your empty information means anything.. its empty pie in the sky intellectual idiocy thats about all it is.
let me tell you straight out frankly you know absolutely f’All about wtf is actually going down around you, not the sweetest fanny f’all clue about it whatsoever… so quicker you get a handle around wtf you actually doing here the better for you yourself and nobody else.

@>^..^< katman(katman)-410: yeah, like stats, ruined a dinner party once arguing that they are not necessarily an accurate indication of what they purport to measure
12 May 2011, 21:48 pm
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-409: That was about as enlightening as a Buthelezi speech. You still haven’t said anything that actually means anything. Apart from answering questions with questions and repeating, ad nauseum, that none of us know what’s what, you have just blabbed on like a St Georges Mall street preacher. Which leads me to believe that you actually don’t have a fcking clue yourself.
But I am impressed with the 3G connection in your comet bunker. Who are you with?
12 May 2011, 21:50 pm
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-407:
Indeed! Who does?
We think we’ve got it all nailed down but reality is in the grand scale of things, we’re worth absolutely fck all. Many look to the heavens for the answers hoping that something awaits our souls after our visit to this world. Simple fact is we were lucky enough to evolve brains big enough to make life comfortable for ourselves, but the flip side of that coin is that we are not content with what we have and there must be more.
12 May 2011, 21:50 pm
@nikoli(nikoli)-411: And it’s been proven that 67,8% of all stats are made up on the spot.

Dumber and dumber deluded in delusional ignorance. Go live through the experience of getting your throat slit then come talk your pie in the sky delusional intellectual mumbo jumbo… fanny faced fool idiots.
And when you see wtf this universal explosion IS actually about then come talk some more cr@p about rooi wyn en sosaarties on the braaivleis.

We got very little clue actually… what we can see from this submerged vantage point wrt the entire picture puzzle is hardly even the tip of any iceberg of reality
You gotta go way out there to see exactly wtf is going on down around this little spinning orb in this minute corner of the vast explosion
People are quick to denounce a higher reality because they don’t want to feel like they got no say in the matter.. but the bottom line reality of our situation is we have absolutely none… whatsoever… never have had and as much as we think we can make our own conclusive deductions here we have not even an iota of a clue about any of it whatsoever..
Whatever prompted the initial cause to whatever the entire relationship between man and animal and everything born of creation with its origin is about.. it is not something you can glean from scripture because they can only hint at such… and they themselves know nothing of it…
Its simply as Socrates and so many other true knower’s ever said… ‘man know thyself’
12 May 2011, 22:04 pm
the FACTS sonny boy… tomorrow take you little 2 year old son for a sight seeing extravaganza through Maitland abattoir… that will be THE most factual realization of yours and his delusional molly coddled life… a wide awake experience of the highs and lows of human evolutionary advanced experience.. how humans destroy and butcher other sentient conscious beings for their protein or carrion like intake… same way hyenas and vultures do.

Well, we’ve been down this road before you and I, and we’ll have to agree to disagree on some things. But as you say, we each have to walk our own path and find our own realities.

so 87 wasn’t a real WC because SA weren’t there? pray tell why weren’t SA there? was it because of the barbaric philosophy of apartheid that the rest of the world found abhorrent? so whose fault is that? I see by observation on this blog that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
wasn’t a real WC lmfao. and apartheid wasn’t really discriminatory either huh?
Atriedes, yep I’m talking apartheid in a rugby context,

Poppa, just wondering if you watched Reunion yesterday?
If so, do you think TJ and the crew are also suffering from this so called Saffa conspiracy theory nonsense.
It appears they share the exact view on NZ player rotation and resting at the moment as vetkoek does.
The same view that you jumped down his throat about.

@John Galt(John Galt)-444: John, it was actually post 2 that I disagreed with… and as Biltong pointed out, did Conrad Smith “fake” a broken nose? as insinuated in post 2?
why do Saffas care whether NZ players are playing or not? surely that will aid their teams if NZ stars are “rested” with fake injuries should it not?
the very fact someone can sugest that players such as Smith are “faking” injury as some sort of conspiracy is laughable in the extreme…
13 May 2011, 08:24 am

13 May 2011, 08:36 am
@poppa69(poppa69)-447:
I couldnt care a continental what the kiwi players and management are doing at the moment.
Seabiscuit brought up a very good point that you and Tong poo pooed yesterday.
A point that was validated by the Reunion gents yesterday.
Admittedly he may have been off the mark with Smith but there is a feeling out there that some of the senior ABs are being ‘managed’ and its not just a theory that us saffas are conjuring up. Your very own panel of experts are talking about it.
13 May 2011, 08:39 am

13 May 2011, 08:49 am
@John Galt(John Galt)-449: speculation and discussion are just that… did the “experts” have proof or are they just speculating too? all I know is that GH at the start of the season met with the coaches and asked that ABs be rested for a period of 2 weeks at the coaches discretion…
if they are so concerned about resting players, why on earth would they schedule an extra test match against Fiji before the 3Ns? seems to contradict the whole rest conspiracy IMO..
13 May 2011, 08:50 am

13 May 2011, 08:59 am
its funny because at the start of the super rugby season, and even now, coaches and fans alike have all stated the need for proper player management throughout the new, extended super rugby format… squad depth I think is the buzzword…
damned if you do, and damned if you dont huh?

@PissAnt(PissAnt)-401: Thats not good… If its worse than Venter’s, as quoted by the Doc in the Nel article, then it must be bad…
A clue to what Joost may be affected by can be found in the Docs words:
“It is nowhere near the same as Andre’s, as that affected him from the waist down. This disease affects the entire body.”
The disease slowly degenerates the muscles in the body, up to a point where the patient can develop respiratory problems, and this can be life-threatening.”
This could be some type of motor neuron disease, similar to Stephen Hawking…
Its sad for Joost, legend on the rugby field. I truly hope that he finds the strength to fight this for as long as possible.

Judging by Piris condition, he might well be slotting in at hooker when he gets
back.
@poppa69(poppa69)-453:
Thats better, call it speculation.
Instead of accusing all saffas of being conspiracy theorists.

@poppa69(poppa69)-455:
You and BillTong started this conspiracy theory bullshit! Seabiscuit was actually completely valid in his argument.
Go back and read the post 2 again will you. In fact let me help you with it.
..’my personal opinion is that they are planning rest periods for each player they intend on taking to the world cup to ensure they aint burnt out, if you look each week there is a all black or 2 from each team out injuired for only 2-3 weeks per time,..
I mean ffs, that is exactly what youve just said it in a post above..
13 May 2011, 09:08 am
@John Galt(John Galt)-457: what, you mean not all Saffas think that their is a NZ/Aus reffing alliance? that not all Saffas believe the laws were changed to suit NZ? that not all Saffas believe Paddy Obrien is sorting things out for NZ to win the WC?
and not all Saffas believe the judiciary is more lenient on NZ/Aus then it is on SA?
ok then, I stand corrected…

@Transformation(Transformation)-454:
indeed.
their team bus is now an ambulance.

@Papoose(papaown)-458: I regretted my post straight after pressing submit…. Not good to speculate… Anyway, I hope Joost has a chance of recovery or has a chance of alleviating any pain and discomfort…

@John Galt(John Galt)-459: ok, so a player who is out injured for 2-3 weeks MUST be faking it?
FFS, sometimes an injury only takes 2-3 weeks until it is no longer an injury…
those 4 players who came off the field for the Saders, was that all down to rest periods? Id imagine one or two of them will only be out for a week or two surely?
but yeah, you and seabiscuit are right… eish… so now NZ players CANT even get injured without an alterior motive? lmfao..
and yep, man didnt really walk on the moon, it was filmed in a warehouse somewhere…

@John Galt(John Galt)-459: The only sense of injustice and unfairness shown on Keo are by the silly little Kiwis. Good for a laugh to see the “bro’s” riddle themselves silly…

@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-464:
Oh my sweet t its, its like talking to a 2 year old.
13 May 2011, 09:23 am
@John Galt(John Galt)-465:
is it possible for more then one player to be injured in the same game? is it possible for someone to be injured for 2-3 weeks?
but continue, its great to see Saffas are that worried that injured NZ players arent really injured..
thing is, without those players they are still beating the best teams you guys have, so I’d be more concerned with that if I was a SA fan..
but continue with the insults, its definitely something all Saffas seem to delight in..

@John Galt(John Galt)-465: 2 yr old’s being nice… ever tried talking to a vervetmonkey…? Poops comes close…

@poppa69(poppa69)-430: Lol , yea yea bla bla…tell me how many aborigines, maoris etc etc were wiped out by white settlers in australia, new zealand tasmania etc? Tell me what the average income for an aboriginal or maori family is compared to their white counterparts? The only difference is they just didn’t put a nice neat label to it for everyone to grab at.
So stick your f****ng precious hypocritical preaching up your butt, ‘mate’, and go throw stones somewhere else. Everyone except BP and 1 or 2 others is sick to death of you around here. Are you like one of those stupid annoying kids who just don’t know when they’re not welcome at a party?

article in weekend herald here in NZ states that 40 of the 160 contracted S15 players in the kiwi conference are currently injured. with mccaw and carter back this week, they’re not included on that list.
Have your say
