Duane Vermeulen is out of the June Tests. Stormers strong man Duane Vermeulen returned home from the Stormers Super Rugby tour because of injury and conservatively won't play again until July. It could be that he is out for the remainder of the Super Rugby season as well because of knee ligament damage. Stormers loose-forward Rynhardt Elstadt is also out for at least six weeks as the Cape-based franchise's season went from bad to worse in Sydney. Vermeulen, Meyer's first choice No 8, will be nursed back to action for the Rugby Championship in August. His injury means a likely Bok start ... Read Article21 May 2013
JP Pietersen is set to miss the remainder of the Super Rugby season. Pietersen left the field of play in the Sharks’ victory over the Force, their final tour game. Pietersen’s scans revealed that the winger, who did duty at outside centre, will require surgery to rectify a groin injury. Pietersen was playing in the 13 jersey following a serious injury to Paul Jordaan and Tim Whitehead not taking part in rugby this season to date. Pietersen’s injury is a big loss for the Sharks, yet the bigger problem is which player will wear the 13 jersey this weekend against the Bulls. The Bulls ... Read Article25 Apr 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 Article23 Sep 2011

It appears that alcohol has tarnished the better judgement of some South African rugby players after they admitted to taking a sign from outside a Matamata business.
A number of the Springboks allegedly stole a TAB sign from outside Trac Sports Bar after they visited the premises.
Bar owner, Gail Bailey, said at 2pm the players left and soon after a couple came in that had been in the shop next door to report on two men taking their sign and loading it into a white van.
“I ran out to the street and saw two of the men. I ran up to them, one with dark hair and a beard, one with blonde hair, and said ‘someone saw you nick my sign!’”
Mrs Bailey said she did not realise they were players at the time, but they had strong South African accents.
Both players she spoke to denied taking the sign, but she assured them that they had been seen.
After denying it a second time, she told them she would be calling the police to deal with the incident further.
“They then looked at me for a moment and said they will go and bring it back soon,” Mrs Bailey said.
“I told them, no I want it now!”
Mrs Bailey said she felt angry that they would want to take the sign.
“Nothing goes unnoticed in Matamata does it?” she said.
“They are rugby players here in our country – so how bad is that?”
She called ahead to Redoubt Bar and Eatery, another bar in Matamata, to warn them about the players on their way there.
Redoubt Bar and Eatery duty manager Christina Carter said the team stopped in for a few drinks after that.
“They were a bit mischievous while they were here but in high spirits. We were keeping a close eye on them though,” she said.
“They were really nice to the customers and didn’t complain about anything.”
Two players who were approached by the Matamata Chronicle for a photo after the incident, confirmed they were members of the Springboks team and one gave a false name calling himself the South African coach Peter de Villiers.
Springboks media manager Andy Colquhoun said he was unable to comment because he had to discuss the alleged incident with the team’s management.

According to IRB website:
Ranked No.1 on the IRB World Rankings
• New Zealand are the only team to have won all of their
Rugby World Cup pool matches (22).
• New Zealand are the only team at RWC 2011 who have
not trailed at any point in their tournament matches so far.
• New Zealand are the highest-scoring team in Rugby
World Cup history, having scored 1,752 points in their 37
matches, an average of 47.4 points per game.
• New Zealand have scored 238 Rugby World Cup tries, 81
more than second-placed Australia.
• New Zealand have scored at least one try in their past 91
Tests and in 97 of the 98 Tests coached by Graham Henry.
• Graham Henry’s 84.7 per cent winning record coaching
New Zealand is the best for any coach of a major nation
in the professional era. His predecessor John Mitchell’s
record of 82.1 per cent is the only other above 80 per cent.
• New Zealand have lost to only South Africa, Australia and
France during Henry’s reign and have a winning record
against all three.
• New Zealand have won their last 12 Test matches at home,
a winning streak that goes back more than two years,
since South Africa beat them 32-29 in Hamilton on 12
September 2009.
• Under Graham Henry, New Zealand have lost only three
home Test matches, against South Africa (twice) and
France.
• Graham Henry coaches a team in a Rugby World Cup
match for the 12th time, breaking the record for the most
by a New Zealander and the joint second most by anyone.
Only Bernard Laporte (FRA) has coached in more RWC
matches (14).

New Zealand has lost knock-out games in 5 of the 6 WCs to date, and in all 4 of the proper WCs post 1991.

23 Sep 2011, 10:56 am
@Guns(Guns)-23: They have also lost against both Aus and SA, the last time they’ve played against them.
They have also lost to Aus the last time they’ve played in a WC game.

@Black Panther(Black Panther)-9:
Seriously though Panther – New Zealand are clear favourites to win on Saturday like hot knife through butter!
Don’t worry every one will be on a kiwi win as usual – absolutely nothing to worry about. Don’t even sweat it, in the bag all ready mate!
Its not a play off & French are fielding a “B” team.. So really there is no pressure what so ever this time.
Or is there….
23 Sep 2011, 10:57 am
I would hate to be a kiwi today.
That dark cloud is not an All Black jersey, it’s memories of ginormous chokes over the past 24 years.

Question -
Other than the bold change of Lièvremont to drop Francois Trinh-Duc and start Parra and YachviliIt what else is it that is having people call this a “B” team??
I was thinking Parra and YachviliIt although awesome play-makers or “French Flair” carriers as seen against Can & Japan me thinks it will be a long night for those two if NZ get go forward ball they will be sending the likes of Kaino, Nonu etc into that 09/10 channel all night..

Hey it is a good team. Nice
Why did GH waste one of our slots by picking Toeava in the first place. Well I guess we know why but at least he will not play in an important game.
Reid not fit and Ali Williams not 100% so more to come. So many other players that could have happily slotted in too.

I don’t think the NZ loss list looks too bad. Not a really good ribbing point when you look at:

Watch how serious the All Blacks are. Take it easy big boys, beating France B is not getting revenge for your previous ownings that the whole world watched and laughed at.
23 Sep 2011, 13:28 pm
Ja – they will get klapped by the AB’s … imo…
23 Sep 2011, 13:36 pm
Joking aside it is odd that here in NZ I don’t see all this bothersome stuff about the French side. They are great sports and it is not a bad side to lose too. In fact I have been pleasantly surprised and humbled to see many French people in France wearing All Black jerseys.
It’s turned out to be a really good rivalry which is great because 1) they play attractive rugby and 2) it is something that has grown stronger over my lifetime
There probably are Kiwis who would be deeply depressed if we did not win the Rugby 2011 WC but I am not one of them and I don’t know any one else who potentially is.
Real rugby is about trying to win every game and if Graham Henry, the NZRU and a bunch of Kiwi part time rugby supporters just want to focus one one event (with a bunch of knockouts and draws that could offer all sorts of oddities) then I am not to upset for them either.
We may win, we may lose. We certainly don’t have a more than 50% chance of winning this so any expectation is quite absurd. All we can do is play our best, play with dignity, play an honest game and back ourselves and see what happens.

Ah yes . . . “feminine” . . . like Caster Semenya you mean?
I say chaps, there seem to be quite a few sense of humour failures on here today . . . perhaps a joke might help . . .
Victor Matfield and Jonny Wilkinson both die and go to heaven. On their arrival, God asks Jonny to wait at the Pearly Gates while he takes Victor on a tour of heaven. They end up at a small rather run-down little one bedroom cottage which has an old and faded Springbok rugby banner hanging above the front door just below the broken chimney.
“This will be your house, Victor,” says God, “You’re very lucky. Most people don’t get their own houses up here, you know.”
“Duh-huh, yes-no, it are awesome,” says Victor, but as he is thanking God he happens to look towards the top of the hill where he sees a huge multi-story mansion built out of gleaming white marble with enormous columns, arches, balconies and beautifully tended gardens. English rugby flags and Red Rose banners flutter all the way up the path leading to the enormous hand-carved wooden front door which is draped in the red and white English rugby colours. A huge St George Cross hangs between the marble columns and on the patio there is a 60 foot statue of Jonny Wlikinson sculpted from burnished gold overlooking the village below.
“Yes-no, thanks God,” says Victor, “but tell for me, I don’t want to sound ungrateful but why do I get this dingy little cottage while Jonny gets that huge mansion up there on the hill with all the statues and marble columns and things?”
God looks very carefully at Victor for a second just to make sure Victor is being serious and then he replies, “That’s not Jonny’s house, old chap. Good heavens no . . . that’s my house!”

Here’s one for the jokers,
Life in the Australian Army…
Text of a letter from a kid from Eromanga to Mum and Dad. (For Those of you not in the know, Eromanga is a small town, west of Quilpie in the far south west of Queensland )
Dear Mum & Dad,
I am well. Hope youse are too. Tell me big brothers Doug and Phil that the Army is better than workin’ on the station – tell them to get in bloody quick smart before the jobs are all gone! I wuz a bit slow in settling down at first, because ya don’t hafta get outta bed until 6am. But I like sleeping in now, cuz all ya gotta do before brekky is make ya bed and shine ya boots and clean ya uniform. No bloody horses to get in, no calves to feed, no troughs to clean – nothin’!! Ya haz gotta shower though, but its not so bad, coz there’s lotsa hot water and even a light to see what ya doing!
At brekky ya get cereal, fruit and eggs but there’s no kangaroo steaks or goanna stew like wot Mum makes. You don’t get fed again until noon and by that time all the city boys are buggered because we’ve been on a ‘route march’ – geez its only just like walking to the windmill in the bullock paddock!!
This one will kill me brothers Doug and Phil with laughter. I keep getting medals for shootin’ – dunno why. The bullseye is as big as a bloody dingo’s arse and it don’t move and it’s not firing back at ya like the Johnsons did when our big scrubber bull got into their prize cows before the Ekka last year! All ya gotta do is make yourself comfortable and hit the target – it’s a piece of piss!! You don’t even load your own cartridges, they comes in little boxes, and ya don’t have to steady yourself against the rollbar of the roo shooting truck when you reload!
Sometimes ya gotta wrestle with the city boys and I gotta be real careful coz they break easy – it’s not like fighting with Doug and Phil and Jack and Boori and Steve and Muzza all at once like we do at home after the muster.
Turns out I’m not a bad boxer either and it looks like I’m the best the platoon’s got, and I’ve only been beaten by this one bloke from the Engineers – he’s 6 foot 5 and 15 stone and three pick handles across the shoulders and as ya know I’m only 5 foot 7 and eight stone wringin’ wet, but I fought him till the other blokes carried me off to the boozer.
I can’t complain about the Army – tell the boys to get in quick before word gets around how bloody good it is.
Your loving daughter,
Susan

The touring Springboks have given a $120-a-head mayoral dinner in Taupo the thumbs down, instead choosing to concentrate their energies on a coaching clinic with young players.
Planning for the mayoral dinner to be held at the Bayview Wairakei Hotel, near Taupo, tonight has been in the pipeline for the past 18 months.
All 25 tables, selling for $960, or $120 a head, had been snapped up by local firms, with the incentive of having Springbok players, their wives and management staff, at each table.
But the players pulled the pin this week, leaving the touring management party only to take up the invitation.
With no prospect of players attending, Taupo Mayor Rick Cooper said he had no choice but to cancel the evening and refund those who bought tickets.
“It’s disappointing,” he said. “We had spent a long time planning this to happen.
“The incentive for those who paid to go to the dinner was to sit down with two Springboks at each table.
“When I realised that was not going to happen I decided to cancel the dinner as the guests were not getting what they paid for.”
Mr Cooper said the South African touring party had attended other functions in the town. There was also an open training session that attracted 500 people, including many school children, last Monday.
Springbok spokesman Andy Colquhoun said the players wanted to go to the dinner but it had been decided to give them two full days off this weekend without any official engagements.
“We’re not trying to hide. We’re getting near to the nitty-gritty part of the tournament. We want to give them a good break to recharge their batteries so we can focus on the games to come.”
Some of the players had been feeling unwell since attending the Ka Mate haka powhiri in cold, wet conditions at Opotaka, near Taupo, last Sunday, he said.
Mr Colquhoun said six players, and coaching staff, would hold a coaching session and skills demonstration for 100 junior players at Owen Delany Park this morning.
The rest of the squad plan to spend the weekend either deer hunting, sky diving, fishing or playing golf.

@poppa69(poppa69)-201: You’ll notice they’re teaching a bunch of youngsters the game of rugby instead. They”re afraid that an entire generation of Kiwis will grow up thinking that forward passes, hands in the ruck and offside loitering are part and parcel of the game.

Loving all the comments about “Boks beating the ABs in the Semis”
Small matter of a desperate Samoa and an even more desperate Australia to navigate first, arrogant mo fo’s. Meanwhile their team tour around the Host Nation stealing worthless things that arent tied down, dissing the ethnic rugby culture and thumbing their nose at pre-arranged formal functions.
Gotta love em !

I dont get why non South Africans would come onto a predominantly South Africa rugby site and run down apparently all things South African, the small minded kiwi site beckons you.
Dont know if you have noticed, we might do a lot of infighting between ourselves but all (or most) stick together when others criticize us. AM LOVING IT………

Have discovered in the last 2 days here in KZN that the Bokke have a huge black male following ( dont know if thats the PC way of saying it).
Yesterday during the bok game at a taxi rank about 20 guys standing around the taxi listening to the rugby and cheering the bokkies on, was outstanding to see.
Then today at UKZN at our demonstration I saw so many young black male students driving in wearing Springbok rugby shirts and jerseys, they were outstanding young chaps, even got some of them to join our demonstration, they were wonderfully supportive. So if any of you guys are reading this THANKYOU and GO BOKKIESSSSS

All Black “pool of death”…
2nd team Japan – Pacific Nations Cup “champions”, thrashers of Fiji, Samoa, Tonga… yeah right. LOL.
The japsprats really thrashed Tonga in the WC…. Was it because maybe all the Tongan players were actually playing this time round…
Reckon Namibia would fark both this Tonga and Japan side silly.

I’m almost as excited to see this game as I would be to see the Boks. I suspect I am a bit of a ******.

Wonder what the excuse will be when Le Bleus “B’s” beat the almighty infallible tomorrow?

23 Sep 2011, 22:39 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-238</ Sorry took so long to answer am stuffed and sunburnt lol;
Some Students at the UKZN campus cornered and bludgeon to death a vervet munki, or so they thought, they then carried it out in an old blanket to dispose of but was still alive and tried to pull its self into the bush with its hands (back was broken) so the fecking psychopaths beat with sticks agin until they were sure it was dead.
This happend on the 11th September, the uni tried to keep it quite, but we harassed them and made public bombing there fb page with demanding answers and they finally adimitted to it, we have witnesses, that have signed thingies at the police station so they will be charged.
To day was about getting UKZN to act and expel these psychopaths, else they will sweep it under the carpet like they did when students microwaved a cat on campus. This has been very difficult even though we hve been getting radio coverage and in a lot of news papers. Today we had tons of coverage lots of newspaper coverage and a tv crew. I had approached Carte Blanche and they were considering it, so we will see how it goes there, oh and some one else is dealing with 50/50.
Thats why i have been so quite online here , been busy busy busy, and i am very affective believe it or not, not just a blond bokkie rugby ditz

Even JL1 had the balls, and I to him, for a far lesser accusation.
Sick.
23 Sep 2011, 23:02 pm

All over a nasty misunderstanding.
He asked for a phd and misunderstood them when they asked him to mail in his thesis.

@Black Panther(Black Panther)-272:
Concerning “someone elses children”? My, my Bleat. You’ve lost a bit of composure son.
My so called terrible sin was a legitimate question. You have only mentioned a daughter in the past in comments I have read. No insults regarding your children. If you have sons, good on yer lad.
23 Sep 2011, 23:07 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-269: Edgewood and The westvill uni have joined, me work at the uni lololololololololol they would have fired my ar$e long ago. Am strictly a animal rights campaigner and activist (not vegan or vegetarian theres are alot of us) I deal mainly with vervet *******, am a sanctuary. We having large sanctuary cages buildt on my property for munkis that cannot be rehabilitated and returned tothe wild they are 2 badly damaged.
I unfortunately am not up to the rehabilitation stuff for munkis that can be released as i fall in love with them and would not be able to see them leave. So its ones with missing limbs or nervous systems have been damaged by poison or bad pellet gun damage all sorts of things, dont really want to bore a lot of the guys that are not interested. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST you enabled me to be able to say and hopefully influence one or two people.

this has become his ‘style’.
Its no less than his re-mixes of comments from other bloggers and posting them as if his own.
Most people would KNOW theyve hit reached further than normal levels of dignity allows when they openly QUESTION someone else having children. And, I might add, the same children we have previously discussed, at length, about playing for respective rival rugby clubs in London (Richmond & Rosslyn Park).
he’s SCUM
time to wake up and smell the bile.

Just that I dont always read all of your comments… Keo is not a place where “you think this song is about you…” Hey Carly?

@Gunther(gunther)-280:
Actually, Gunther, you can shut your oversized trap, if thats at all possible. I dont link you with SCUM like Boy George or Whatever simply because of the colour of your Passports.
I thought the comments Pops made about AIDS were disgusting, and immediately told him so. I engage with anyone if they talk about rugby, and do so happily with Pops whenever that is the subject matter.
Boy George is desperate to label me a Liar, despite not having a thread of evidence. Thats because he’s not very clever. Dumb, in fact. And a desperate man will go to desperate measures. Tell me ONE reason WHY I would “fib” about having a son. Cmon, youre a good cnt under all this bravado and you should know when the boundary has been crossed. Stop referring to my “moral pedestal” when in the same breath youre trying to say I vicariously, simply through shared Nationality, made repulsive comments about children with AIDs.
23 Sep 2011, 23:18 pm

“If you mentioned sons in comments I have not read, then certainly I may be wrong”
“may” ?!
in the early days when you pretended to be a decent human being with a modicum of respect for people other than yourself, we talked – here – extensively about our SONS playing rugby at Richmond & Rosslyn Park. Either youre schizophrenic or youre now, ahem, lying. which one is it ?
honestly boys and girls, when youre wrong, youre wrong. Simple.

you tell me on what basis you refer to Poppa as “my bud”, other than Nationality, and I’ll shut my piehole.
AIDs, paedo – all disgusting to make light of and completely unwarranted on a rugby blog. And you KNOW thats how I feel, but youre now more desperate than Boy George. If thats at all possible.
And dont tell me to “clam down” when it was YOU thought brought it up, whilst knowing Ive never said that here. Moron.

because that was your accusation, Boy George.
““@Black Panther(Black Panther)-80: Son?? Thought you only had daughters… Ahem… Clear my throat… Fibby, fib, fib… Again”
see – singular, not plural. Get it yet ?!
Why dont you ask Transie to come up with our original, friendly, conversation you and I had when I said I had ONE in u7′s, which i coached, and ONE in u6′s.
Im yet to think of ONE reason why I would want to fib about having kids.
23 Sep 2011, 23:37 pm
au revoir, cowards and scumbags and vicarious tossers. I have a mountainbike ride to conquer.

And, to think, old J.J. Harmse wrote a piece about how the Boks were exemplary in avoiding any off-field or evven on-field controversy at RWC … (well, barring PDivv’s minor gaffe about the haka)
Then, suddenly — WHAM! Big Vic steals a TAB sign and they pull out of an official function on a ridiculous pretexts.
Mwaap..mwaap… mWAAAP!
23 Sep 2011, 23:38 pm
Sorry, PRETEXT — singular.
23 Sep 2011, 23:39 pm
EVEN not EVVEN
23 Sep 2011, 23:42 pm
Honestly Blackie how thick are you?
Its precisely because your rust SCUM wood stayed in the bag when poeps went off the reservation that I made the comment.
What’s desperate about that amigo?
You make me larf.
Honestly who gives a toss what your kids are.
Get over yourself and stop being so precious.
Carry on taking it up the blind side eh poops!
23 Sep 2011, 23:43 pm
@TheTackler(TheTackler)-299: thank you for the correction, it has made all the difference to your marvellous post
23 Sep 2011, 23:43 pm
@Black Panther(Black Panther)-296: But its what you said…
Now I dont know why you might want to “fib about having kids” especially since you have proven me “wrong” beyond “doubt” about questioning the *** of your sprog(s).
I didn’t insult your sprog(s) or your family, I was rather calling into question your undoubted ability to bend the truth on a much wider scale. Calling me your fave word “Scum” is a bit harsh for such innocuousness… I think an apology may be in order there? But I shan’t hold my breath
Its all getting very confusing for you, innit?
Now calm down

Can’t resist the old joke… you probably heard it… Ol’ Richie picks up Smitty at the airport. They’re on the road & Smitty realises he’s left some kit behind.
He says: “Hey Richie! Can you make a U-turn?”
Richie says: “Ayyy!! almost always! Sometime I can even make its eyes pop out.”

They must be licking their wounds… but they’ll surely regroup. I hope France give their team a hard one… they don’t have to win… just give them a hard one!!!

@Treehugger(Treehugger)-275: Sorry, only saw your comment now. Harsh one. I must say I am not too partial to Vervets myself especially when they have overbred and too familiar with people (But then again its due to people feeding them), but cant condone cruelty…. Beating the thing with sticks… and then the microwaved cat – WTF???
But good on you TH… It seems you are a passionate animal lover and its great that there are people like you that stand up for them. “Poisoning” – Temik? Jeez, I have seen a couple of dogs die of carbamate (not sure if thats the tech term?) poisoning – You must have seen some acts of terrible cruelty if you’re into animal welfare.
I really hope that your campaign is successful and that you get some good exposure for the plight of these animals.

@Gunther(gunther)-301:
you dont see it to get it. Or want to, more poignantly.
Boy George was calling me a Liar. The premise of the ‘lie’ was, apparently, based on the gender of my children.
I didnt lie. I dont lie. And for what pathetic reason I would lie about the gender of my kids….?
you now appear to be accusing me of vicarious-crimes whilst ignoring your own.
Im still waiting for the reason why Im ‘guilty’ of crimes I didnt commit. Pops knows I admonished him. So cough up, or STFU.

and please explain, in legible english, what on Earth you meant by
“Its precisely because your rust SCUM wood stayed in the bag when poeps went off the reservation that I made the comment. What’s desperate about that amigo?’
and the connection that has with me ?
ET is a Safa. Hondo is Safa. Tecumseh is a Safa. So when did I accuse you for disgusting things theyve said inn the past, just because youre all Safas, thick’o ? I dont think youre a Gentleman solely on the basis that Puma is a Safa either, thick’o. Stop being so “precious”.

@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-318:
Youre just a coward. We already know that and have for a long time. And a coward with half a brain cell that cant even remember a long conversation we had about our own sons. You cant, can you ?! Youre so used to being Johnny 2-Names that you dont know who you are anymore, Boy George.
24 Sep 2011, 00:49 am
Loving the duplicity… Bleat Panty the angelic… Never, ever said a disparaging word about Saffas ever… Honest ‘guv.
Never ever generalised about Saffas either…
No fibby fibs fibs, eh?
Lol. Come now.

@Black Panther(Black Panther)-320: I luvvit when you get so passionate Carly.

You’ve had your blogrogering… you’ve run away to “mountainbike” already… Now wind that neck in son…

“Nine Springboks have sheepishly returned a silver fern sign they took as a prank – after they were confronted by a feisty Matamata bar manager.
Fresh from their 87-0 mauling of Namibia at North Harbour Stadium, the Boks, including skipper John Smit, met their match on the main street of Matamata after stealing the sign outside a bar.
TRAC Sports Bar Matamata owner Gail Bailey said she paid little attention when a group of unusually large men came into her establishment about 2pm yesterday.
“They came in for a drink but they ended up going to another bar in town. They wanted lunch and we’re more of a sports bar,” Mrs Bailey said.
But when a patron told her the men had made off with a New Zealand Community Trust sign on the footpath, Mrs Bailey chased them down the street.
“I took after them, told them I wanted my sign back and gave them a rev-up. I didn’t know who they were.
“I just gave them a serve about pinching stuff. I said it wasn’t very good visiting our town and pinching things.”
The chastened players told Mrs Bailey they had always intended to put the sign back. “I told them, ‘Don’t bulls*** me’.”
The Springboks’ media manager, Andrew Colquhoun, said a group of nine players opted to drive from Auckland to Taupo. “They’re taking a bit of a leisurely day down to see a bit of New Zealand after two weeks of hotels and airports.”
Last night, he didn’t have full details of the incident as the players were yet to arrive at the team’s hotel.
“I did have a text from John [Smit], who said it was just a bit of fun with a lady in the bar and that nothing was stolen.”
Mrs Bailey was shocked to find out who the men were and thought the sign was taken because it had a silver fern on it. “So maybe they’re a bit worried about us.”
Still, yesterday would go down in the bar’s folklore. “It is a laugh,” Mrs Bailey said. “And everyone in the bar is having the biggest laugh about it because here’s me running after these big tall guys.”".
the CAPTAIN ?!?

@fantasticbarnsmell(fantasticbarnsmell)-302: Glad to be of assistance. (If one counsels perfection one is obliged to seek it oneself, or at least make the attempt.)
24 Sep 2011, 02:09 am
@Black Panther(Black Panther)-329:
Typical NZ slag blowing things out of proportion. I think we can all be glad that it was John Smit pulling the prank and not Mealamu – who would have ruthlessly beaten her with his head only for Steve the depressant Hansen to come out and say “Kevvy isn’t like that, he’s a good bloke and I want to ram it up a sheep”

24 Sep 2011, 03:12 am
@Black Panther(Black Panther)-333: Pathetic attempt by a “rugby lover kiwi who doesn’t even recognise Springbok players” to discredit the Boks. What a faark up story. I’m sure he/she was the drunk one.
24 Sep 2011, 03:17 am
@TheAgent(TheAgent)-336:
is that the word on the street in Gizzy ?
24 Sep 2011, 03:46 am
Usually really good to talk to the South African’s here but mention the word France and some people just go all psycho.
I hope this is a close game.
24 Sep 2011, 03:49 am
@Black Panther(Black Panther)-329:
Strange that they were in Matamata. Maybe went to see the Hobbit village thing. It is well over priced.
24 Sep 2011, 04:16 am
@chch(chch)-339:
Given they were stopping in Taupo, I presume that were merely en route from Auckalofa.
WTF were they thinking ?! Much like the French Secret Service, they must have assumed the Dumb Kiwis wouldnt notice if they slipped under the radar and departed unnoticed. Well, if you cant slip one past a Waikato Cowcocky, its time to go back to school, girls.
The funniest aspect is that they were after the sign because it had the Silver Fern on it. And to think all those Pen*s Envy jokes were just wind-ups…..
Cant blame em I suppose given the Springbok is slowly making its way under the armpit.
But the CAPTAIN getting involved in that ?! tee hee, bro. What next, doing a runner at Pizza Hut ?
24 Sep 2011, 04:19 am
@chch(chch)-338:
Any team that has more success against the ABs than their own, and suddenly brie sales soar on Johannesburg.
24 Sep 2011, 04:42 am
I think I know why the All Blacks choke at every world cup.. because they like French slong in their mouths. Haaaaaaaaa….
24 Sep 2011, 05:34 am
2 x ‘NZ vs France’ comments for every 1 x ‘Backing the Boks’ comments, articles posted at the same time, on a ‘SA Rugby site’ (as we’re repeatedly informed).
Twice as obsessed about the ABs, and their seasonal morphing as France-fans (ca va, Monsieur George ?) than saying positive things about their own team.
Pen*s Envy in rugby-form = Keo’lings in a microcosm.
24 Sep 2011, 05:35 am
If the French unthinkables beat the NZ unsinkables, all that happens is that NZ moves to the easy side of the draw. Not a terrible fate, is it?
24 Sep 2011, 06:50 am
Just heard out of the mouth of Graham Henry…
“I’ve been very consistent with selection… It’s just the media who paint a different picture…”!
Okay Ted… i guess its the media who make all those changes to your team for every game…
24 Sep 2011, 06:54 am
even taine the paine says ‘the people want to see consistent selections and there’ve been a lot of changes…”
i’d be worried as a maorilander supporter… cause graham henry actually believes what he says…

France is just a speed bump on the road as NZ head toward the knockout phase . I’m just wondering if the Boks are gonna throw the game against Western Samoa or man up stay on our side of the draw ,
24 Sep 2011, 08:10 am
@whatever(whatever)-351: Taupo is chock-full of souvenir shops. They’re rich men. (And at 30+ they’re not boys any more.) They really can afford to buy one or two.

He is scum indeed.

oh, I see, its different rules for you then huh ?
“Your bud likes to talk about kiddy fiddling (not aids although that is another of his highlights) yet you like to talk about scum when it suits? Selective much?”
so “You f uked your mutha yet doos?” still isnt enough to inspire the same principles from you that applies to others/Kiwis huh ?
‘selective much’…..2-faced pri’ck.
