Willie le Roux and Lappies Labuschagne have finally been rewarded with spots in the Springbok training group. They are two of eight that are first timers in Springbok training groups this year. The others are Gio Aplon, Trevor Nyakane, JJ Engelbrecht, Lionel Mapoe, Wiehahn Herbst and Demetri Catrakilis. The group of players will assemble in Durban for the second training camp of the year, before the final squad for the Incoming Tours is selected. Players not considered due to injury include: JP Pietersen, Jaco Taute, Frans Steyn, Johan Goosen, Duane Vermeulen, Pat Cilliers and Frans Malherbe. ... Read Article23 May 2013

Jan Serfontein, the player of last year's under 20 World Championship, will head the baby Boks defence in France. Serfontein and Kings wing Sergeal Petersen are two Super Rugby regulars to make Dawie Theron's squad and brilliant flyhalf Handre Pollard is another to play in a second successive tournament. Theron's squad lost a three-match series 2-1 to Argentina in Argentina. Serfontein, Petersen and Western Province's Cheslin Kolbe did not play in those matches. Bulls loose forward Ruan Steenkamp is captain. Serfontein and Pollard are the only two squad members from last year's ... Read Article14 May 2013
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has selected several uncapped Blues players in his training group. Hansen confirmed 38 names and this included many from the potent Blues backline. The Highlanders, despite only winning one match in this year's Super Rugby competition, have six players in the group. An obvious area of weakness is at hooker where Hansen has selected veterans Andrew Hore and Keven Mealamu and Canes Dane Coles. Options are limited and it certainly is a concern for New Zealanders. No overseas-based players were considered, as it is NZRFU policy. Among the uncapped players ... Read Article15 May 2013
French coach Philipe Saint-Andre has included three South African-born players for the three-Test series against the All Blacks in New Zealand. Racing Metro flank Bernard le Roux and Clermont prop Daniel Kotze join Antonie Claassen in a squad that includes eight new caps. Fijian-born Clermont winger Noa Nakaitaci is among the newcomers. Saint-Andre has rested flyhalf Francois Trinh-Duc, but included Toulon's Frederic Michalak. France play world champions New Zealand on June 8, 15 and 22 in Auckland, Hamilton and New Plymouth respectively. French super club Toulon's foreign dominance ... Read Article5 Mar 2013
MARK KEOHANE writes the Varsity Cup in its first year rocked. Since then it's just another professional tournament. The Varsity Cup may have the innovation of doing a few things differently, but what was supposed to be a celebration of student rugby somehow just seems like another tournament, in which the traditional power houses remain the traditional strengths in the tournament. Much has been made of the Port Elizabeth-based Nelson Mandela University display this season and equally there has been bewilderment at how poor Shimlas have been. But it seems the old one two of Stellenbosch University ... Read Article12 May 2013
Marcus Watson scored in extra time to beat the Blitzbokke in the London World Series Sevens Cup quarter-finals. The teams were level 14-all at full time. Watson's try came four minutes into extra time. England won 19-14. England had the chance to win the match with the last play of the game in normal time. They were awarded a penalty and opted to take a drop kick for goal. It missed. Watson then rounded off a move after England had retained possession for two minutes. South Africa suffered further embarrassment when they lost for a second time in the tournament to the USA and were eliminated ... Read Article8 Jan 2013
Limpopo will play in the Vodacom Cup as a separate side for the first time this year. The region, which is a sub-union of the Blue Bulls Rugby Union, has been granted a place in the tournament in its own rights to help foster rugby in South Africa’s far north. They join the 14 provincial unions as well as the returning Pampas XV from Argentina in the tournament, which kicks off in the second week of March and concludes in mid-May. The Polokwane-based Limpopo team will play in the North Section of the competition, along with the Blue Bulls, Golden Lions, Griffons, Leopards, Pumas, Valke ... Read Article20 Aug 2011

Proudly Killed in NZ
In 2011, on average, 3 foreigners are killed in New Zealand every 4 days.

More foreigners are violently murdered or killed in New Zealand than in any other country with the exception of Iraq. Between Jan 1, 2000 and May 31, 2011 at least 2180 andthat doesn’t include the 450 gone missing and never been found.
2180 Murders. ARE YOU FRIGGEN DERANGED.
The NZ murder rate is:
New Zealand: 5.818 per 1 million people 2006
Let me see 5.818 x 4.2 = 24
We are at a descrepency of 2156 murder victims. 99% of which would be locals.

You are 10,000% wrong (give or take 3,000%)

Wallaby O’Connor to explain no-show
19 August 2011, 15:04
Wallabies youngster James O’Connor could miss next week’s Bledisloe Cup showdown with the All Blacks in Brisbane after missing a public team appearance in Sydney.
The Australian Rugby Union (ARU) said on Friday it has asked the 21-year-old back to explain his absence from Thursday’s Rugby World Cup squad announcement at Sydney airport.
Officials at the time of the announcement said O’Connor “was unable to be here” when Australia’s 30-man squad was revealed, but the utility back may face a suspension that could threaten his place in the Wallabies’ first-choice World Cup line-up, reports said.
“James informed us on the morning of the squad announcement that he was unable to be present,” an ARU spokesman said on Friday.
“We have requested James provide a full explanation for his non-attendance.
“Until such time as we have received that explantation, we are not in a position to comment further.”
O’Connor was one of the heroes of the Wallabies’ 14-9 victory over the Springboks last week in Durban, kicking three penalties in Australia’s first back-to-back test win in South Africa in 48 years.

Another Chinese Girl Murdered in New Zealand The body of Jiayi Li, also known as “Kiko”, was found in the boot of her car. The 18-year-old victim was gang-raped before her murder. She was the 1,844th foreigner to be killed in New Zealand since January
guess what?..in the new plymouth area again and yet another chinese victim.seems that these kiwis hate foreigners and especially chinese females.

Pontificating about the problems of communities in PE from Philly is pointless and only amuses the delusional.
why would SARU want to pump money into Phillip Josephs and George David’s own spaza shop?
EPRU gets unqualified audit – first in 7 years
2010/05/04
THE Eastern Province Rugby Union has received an unqualified audit report – the first in seven years.
EPRU president Cheeky Watson said this augured well for plans to ensure the union became attractive to sponsors.
“It’s down to good teamwork that we have achieved this. The union’s books have been in the red for a long time and our management strategy has paid off.”
He said turning things around in rugby was never an easy business, but what had been achieved was a reflection of pure determination on the part of the management.
Watson said this new development would give comfort to potential sponsors of the EPRU.
Part of the union’s plan is to hire an experienced coach, but Watson said talks were still at a sensitive stage.
New players are being sought to inject new blood into the team.
“We need to ensure we build on this achievement, because it’s going to have an impact on clubs and sub-unions.”
The union has been in the doldrums over the past few years.
During former EPRU boss Phillip Joseph’s tenure, he was alleged to have defrauded the National Lottery Board of R414 568.
It was discovered that some money had gone missing from sponsors and had been deposited into some employees’ personal accounts.
The police anti- corruption unit – formerly known as the Scorpions – was called in to investigate the possible fraud charges.
In 2005, the union was forced to terminate the services of contract players with immediate effect as its coffers were empty.
They were notified that they were free to seek contracts with other unions.
During the same year, the union defied an order from the SA Rugby Union (Saru) to step aside, setting the scene for a protracted battle for control of rugby in the region.
Saru then ordered the suspension of Joseph and his entire executive committee, amid internal conflict in the union and allegations of mismanagement and the misappropriation of funds.
google the names phillip josephs & ep rugby and see what you find…

So ignoble smartarse explain then how I am able to disseminate to students the knowledge of physiology(in lectures) or in its broader sense, medical science( my research) if I do not have it in the cortex?

I note too that some other delinquent is so still in the total dark that the realization has not dawnned on him yet that we live in the day when ideas and knowledge can be disseminated from space(nevermind Philadelphia) whether it be from the space station or the moon or even the Rover on Mars let alone any other planet.
But what can one know if you do not ever live in SCIENCE?
Yesterday I spoke to people in C.T. and P.E.(in their offices) who certainly have their ears well to the ground unlike some who have their noses in the air to keep it away from their reeking backsides.
Now I am to be amused by old stale facts even of Cheeky’s good efforts. It is effin old and stale info that and those defrauders are really present SARU’s bad boys and their responsibility but it will amount to not much.
