Don’t know if that is enough academic qualification.

Can you tell me who Smith’s flyhalf was when he played for Tygerberg?

Hint: The guy was from Namaqualand.

Wie de vok is jy and what did you do to Skopskiet?

See you Skoppy, keep it up there in Fish Hoek.

see ya Robbo.

The reason I said that the wet conditions will suit us better is because of our preference for the kicking game (skop and Jag to quote Grant 10) while they would prefer a faster open running game.
But you are right, they should know how to play in the wet and I also reckon the game will be close.

The WP Croy is the son of Richard- another WP reject who went via SWD (Eagles these days) to the Valke or Pumas.

I picked the AB’s by 30 on Superbru- sadly I was not so accurate with the other matches.

Yeah, Jules Smith is doing well at Stellies- the place seems to have a preference to put ex scrumhalves with academic qualifications in leadership positions- first Craven with his 3 doctorates and now Jules

You welcome to your hero’s.. they may have been great and then again maybe if chucked into the deep end of hard core international rugby one wonders how many would have risen to the height of true heroism … how come so many top international class black players existed before unification then suddenly after unification only a few cut the mustard at international level? Shows your racial prejudice is rife.. because you still judge rugby players according their race first and their ability second and that only goes to prove what an outright racist you ACTUALLY ARE ! Bottom line you still living WAY in the PAST !! get with the program and Drop the mountain perched on your shoulder.. its a sickening disease called racism and its eating your sorry arse up alive.

Sorry been away from the laptop and attending to something that will earn points for me with my wife.

But the conditions you refer to, do they not suit the team from the muddy islands better? Not even the Stormer players can play the wet Newlands conditions these days.. The Wales backrow will out-perform the ‘Bok backrow even with Brasso there. and that is a huge plus for the dragons. It will be close.

The bearded Croy I have seen play many times. They are a big extended family and a few did cross over late . Croy was very good but nowhere near the level of C.Jabaar or my later favorite Jules Smith(vice-rector at Stellies) . Those two were the very best but in different types of games and different eras. Smith was also a brilliant leader and capt. at UWC and Tygerberg Union. he was nippy around the fringes much like Hoffman at his best. jabaar was a sh for the forward game of WP (Bo-kaap). Tobias did not even compare to Lentoor , Heemro(also FB sometimes) and others.here too their is a WP Croy who now plays in the north for Pumas or Valke.

Seems you may have the RWC final correct but I said France as my 3rd choice and 4th choice does not matter to me as whoever it is will not be in the final.

Did you see on that ABs game thread , early before the game, I said they should hope to win 45 – 13 (32 diff.) and they won 41-10 (diff. 31)?

Looking forward to see Aussies first game up tonight and then Wales -’Boks just to get a feel for where teams actually are.

In terms of BMI he is not fat but obese.Re the Unions, remember that Bath offered Luke Watson a contract and made him captain, so i assume the same must apply to him?

Is it his bank balance fat

Or cool phat

Or his BMi fat

Or because he is bigger than you

Why would all these unions offer him a contract, do they maybe know more about players than you and I?

They might make it tomorrow despite the presence of the over the hill overrated captain.
But it wont be long before it will all end in tears.
Piet will be without a job and Johny boy will sit on the bench at Saracens- fat with an even fatter bank balance.
