Boks to fight fire with an inferno
27 Sep 2011
The Springboks intend to outbully the confrontational Samoans in Friday’s Test at North Harbour Stadium.
After a disappointing campaign in the Pacific Nations Cup, Samoa stunned the rugby world when they beat the Wallabies 32-23 in Sydney. Many believed the historic win signalled the beginning of something special, and the massive Samoan contingent in the greater Auckland area moved to buy tickets to the Samoa vs South Africa World Cup pool clash on 30 September.
The North Harbour Stadium will be at full capacity this coming Friday. There is a big South Africa-fan base in that part of New Zealand, but it won’t compare to the number of spectators clad in the blue of Samoa.
Both sets of fans will be expecting a physical romp, and there’s good reason to believe that this Samoa side will be tougher to top than sides of previous years. While they’re as physical as their predecessors, they play with more structure and purpose.
The Boks have taken note of Samoa’s performances at the 2011 tournament. They weren’t quite good enough to beat Wales, although they were competitive for large parts of that match. They steamrolled Namibia and hammered Fiji. They’re unlikely to dominate the Boks upfront, but there’s no doubt that they will try to win the battle at the collisions.
It will be a bruising contest, and there may be casualties if neither side is willing to move away from an attritional approach. Samoa have already spoken about moving the ball around, but the Boks intend to take the islanders on at the coalface no matter the cost.
It’s a strategy that should bring them the desired rewards, but they will be hoping that it doesn’t lead to further injuries to key players a week out from a quarter-final against Australia.
Bok centre Jaque Fourie said that playing two intensely physical matches back-to-back shouldn’t be a problem for this South Africa team. Following last week’s win against Namibia, the Boks enjoyed a couple of days rest, and Fourie believes this has made all the difference. The Boks have used this time to recharge and prepare themselves for an all out war at the point of contact.
‘It’s going to be physical, I’m sure we’re going to be feeling the bruises afterwards,’ said Fourie. That’s why it was important that we had the break. Your body needs to be fresh, but your mind needs to be fresh as well.’
Several players have stood out for Samoa in this tournament. Scrumhalf Kahn Foutali’i, who also plays for the Crusaders in the Super 15, has been one of the more direct No 9s while the 120kg winger Alesana Tuilagi will be an attacking threat if he’s brought into the line. Centre Seilala Mapusua is another who will look to impose himself in the tackle.
Fourie played down the threat of these individuals. While he acknowledged their talents, he believes the collective is more dangerous than before because Samoa are now using their natural talent and inclination for contact to pursue a common goal.
‘They’re a very physical team, and as is the case with the Fijians, if you allow it to get loose, they will punish you. If your kicking game and first-phase is not up to standard, they will punish you.
‘All round they’ve got a good team, so we’re not going to focus on one or two players. They stay in their structures, so we have to look at how we are going to beat the team rather than the individuals. They’re dangerous in broken play, but they seem to be even more dangerous now that they’re structured.
‘I think they’ve modelled their game on how the All Blacks play.’
The Boks have the pack to boss the islanders proving they don’t go into the game with a complacent attitude. They will also need to take the fight to the islanders in midfield, and this is where men like Frans Steyn, Fourie and even Jean de Villiers will need to prove their worth.
‘They’re very direct and physical, there’s no funny business,’ said Fourie. ‘You know what to expect, they just come straight and hard, and there defence is good as well.
‘We need to be clinical in what we want to do; we need to be as direct and physical as we can be.’
In the build up to the Fiji and Namibia matches, the Boks promised to play direct, pragmatic rugby. What transpired against Fiji was a looser albeit profitable approach against a weak defence. The Boks were also too adventurous during the early stages against Namibia, and the loss of structure led to frustration and unnecessary errors.
As Fourie suggests, the clash against Samoa will require a lift in accuracy and intensity. The Boks should beat Samoa, but their success will be determined by their ability to maintain a high standard over the course of 80 minutes. A consistently physical effort will ensure they beat the Samoans by a comfortable margin and take some much needed momentum into the play-offs.

Samoa is only a tier 2 team, so what’s the hoo-hah about? Boks should cream them by at least 30.

This will be a good warm up game for the Boks before the Australian game. The Boks are one of those teams that improve the more they play and I believe that they should win this one easily, 25 – 30 points.
27 Sep 2011, 07:20 am
The key here will be to escape injury-from this encounter with the head hunters.
27 Sep 2011, 07:27 am
And of course Butch James should’ve started due to his amazing defensive ability right JC?
Spose he’s got a little hip injury right now, so I can’t see him coming near the match 22 for the rest of the tournament…
27 Sep 2011, 07:39 am
The Western Samoosas in for a hiding.
I wonder if Derick Hougaard will miss playing in this game?
27 Sep 2011, 07:44 am
Yep Gunther… the Islanders are gonna have their bonus cheques from the NZRFU at the back of their minds…
Beat us and there’s a general team bonus… Send someone off injured and another team bonus with a personal bonus thrown in for the individual who sends him off…
Also bonuses for goading the Boks into retaliatory strikes and having them sin-binned and banned…
Boks must play well but keep their discipline… especially Energiser Bunny Bismarck… he WILL be targeted for special attention…!

In the past teams just had to keep it tight until the Samoans tired, and the it was game over. Not quite that easy any more. Hopefully no serious injuries out of this match, but unlikely.

27 Sep 2011, 08:22 am
Smit’s captaincy, linouts, scrumming and general leadership is vital to our defense of the cup.
Bissy is a better blind side flank and should be given a run there…. just like Mark Andrews beefed up our back row in ’95 and Russouw did the same in ’07, we should let Bissy come of the bench and replace Burger after 50mins.
27 Sep 2011, 08:35 am

Maybe the best looking 8th man, but his play is still 40% rumour, 60% substance

@Helen(Helen)-27: Don’t agree , Alberts is much better, Bizzy has , strength but no skill , he does not/can not pass the ball.
Bit like Beast he cost us 2 tries with not passing , I hope he sort this out.
We need Beast / Danie to hit rucks not stand in backline to run the ball

The next best 8 is Sergio Parisse. Or Willem Alberts, if you regard him as an 8.

“A BLACK MARK ON TAUPO
Kevin McCallum
“Tik! Tik! Get your fresh tik here! Special price today! While stocks last! Coke to make you joke! Crack that will put you on your back! Mandrax! Cat! Dagga to make you lagga! Heroin to make you spot trains! E’s to make the bunnies funny!”
Vata Ngobeni, the rugby writer for the Pretoria News will be greeted by those words, or something very similar, for the next month of this Rugby World Cup after he was detained on suspicion of dealing in drugs by the police in Taupo on Saturday night.
We, his mates, will rag him for the rest of the tournament, and there is over a month to go. That’s four weeks of mocking, ragging and taking the p***. We will not stop. That’s because we are kids and being on a sports tour is a big school jol with the same sort of rules and behaviour.
Yet, what happened to Vata pierced that cocoon. In his column he describes how he was detained, searched, released and, with profuse apologies, let go.
Vata was the only black man in The Shed in Taupo on Saturday night. I had been there earlier with Mike Greenaway for the All Black-France match. Not a jot of bother for us, though – a few drunks, a few desperate New Zealand women, also drunk, a few Poms singing and swinging a chariot. “One of the officers approached me and told me that I fit the description of a man they were looking for who offered one of the patrons narcotics but I denied the allegation,” wrote Vata.
On Monday, he told me the police told him he was detained under Section 29 and that they would be searching him. He offered to let them search him there and then, and identified himself as a South African journalist. They insisted he go with them to the station. Vata was furious.
The only black man in the bar and they zeroed in on him. Believe me, there are a few honkies in the SA contingent who look dodgier than Vata. It’s not the first time black South African sports journalists have been treated differently on tour.
In 2003 I was in a place in downtown Brisbane with Greenaway. Liam Del Carme called me. The bouncer outside wouldn’t let himself, Echbert Boesak (then with SABC), Simnikiwe Xabanisa (then of the Sunday Times) and Owen Nkumane (former Bok, then of SABC) in. I walked out and confronted the bouncer. Not my brightest move, but I was three vodkas down and brave. I asked him why they couldn’t come in. He pointed to their shoes and said they were not “clubby or funky enough”. I pointed to the shoes of the very white boys behind me in the bar and said they were exactly the same. He got stroppy. So did I. “Call your boss.”
The boss came. He towered over me. “Problem, sir?” Ah no. I’m going to die in Brisbane. “Come stand over here and let’s chat, sir.” Ah no. He doesn’t want to kill me in front of the customers. Deep breath. “Your bouncer here won’t let my mates in. We’re South African journalists on tour. They’re wearing the exact same clothes as people inside. Mate, is it because they are four black guys in a crowd?” He looked at my mates, at me, then spoke to his bouncer: “You’re absolutely right, sir. Let them in.”
Vata is one of my closest friends and colleagues. We speak often about rugby and of how one day it may become the first black, Afrikaans-speaking sport in South Africa. Taupo has been good to the South Africans, but Saturday night will be a stain on the town for us from now on, which is a pity.
Vata is black. He can’t dance, though, but he’s black and he was picked out of a crowd because of that. It’s sad that it happened in the land of the All Blacks. – The Star “

@poppa69(poppa69)-47:
Sigh.
You disappoint me.
And you are a stuck record.
I think the reason for your reaction is that the incident in Taupo has destroyed any moral high ground you (as a New Zealander) might have for looking down on South Africans as the “racist Dutchies” you describe them as.
The fact of the matter is that bigotry and racism exist all over the world.
Now take a deep breath and rather distance yourself from what happened in Taupo?
27 Sep 2011, 09:03 am
@WP Till I Die(WP-Forever)-44:

This issue was discussed last night when the story first broke.

Had the person been described as a dwarf and only Keo fitted the description, would the Police be acused of being biggoted to small people?

Of course there are some idiots on the blog that dwell on anything negative about anywhere. The same idiots are constantly negative about SA ito Employment Equity, BEE, govt, economy, opportunities etc.
Sinking to their level is dumber than they are because you are doing it consciously.
A balanced discussion is cool. Deflection and defensiveness wastes your time and does not make others think of you as free-thinking which is a quality admired in NZers/.
I am leaving for NZ on Oct 12 to watch the semis and the finals. I cannot wait.
NZ people that I have met (male and female) are knowledgeable about rugby. I will start slowly on the banter (McCaw is a cheat, ABs weren’t poisoned, Barnes is a great ref)
No doubt I wil write many positive things about NZ once I am there and when I return.

You are making it hard for me to like you.
Most of us are tolerant and forgiving and so my offer for peace remains open. I hope you will reconsider and accept, because I am sure you can’t be such a nasty animal in real life, unless you’re blogging from a prison cell somewhere

And by the way, no matter how you spin it, this is a racist incident that happened in a Kiwi town that should be spoken about and apologised for. Trying to explain it away by flinging back some tired, age-old racist stereotypes just doesn’t cut it, old chap.

Detained based on a description? Hah. So the description was that he was black? Good description. By the way I own a bridge in London. Want to buy it?
It’s not a huge deal. The Taupo police screwed up. You have a couple of dumb cops in Taupo. We have far more.

I see very little racism in this Taupo incident.
Police received a tipp off that a black man was offering narcotics to patrons.
Should the police have ignored the fact that Vata was black?
It’s like saying that Police are looking for a big breasted, kind hearted, attractive woman that stole the stripes off a zebra crossing. Will I be offended if they interrogate me? No.

27 Sep 2011, 09:37 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-94: Not quite. There are posters here that out of their sheer nature post insulting things about NZ. It’s been going on for years, and they persist with Poppa because it enrages him.
What Poppa doesn’t realize is that he will continue to get that response as white bloggers are tired of being described as hateful, racist, apartheid abusers, hence the perpetual attacks.
Also, WPTiD is right. There are horrible incidents of racism that occur all over the world, not just in SA, but it doesn’t make every person in those countries some sick racist. And based on the article he posted from Vata’s co – worker, you might sometimes in SA, find more tolerance, than elsewhere in the world.

If the Boks win certain people will all of sudden change there view and say Samoa is a minnow team and the Boks should have won by more. These same people were ones that Samoa will knock the Boks out of the pool and tournament
27 Sep 2011, 09:42 am
You can’t dictate what a person carries in their heart, but you can direct society’s views. The fact is our society in SA is not racist, even though there are many racists among us. The story is different for NZ and Aus. They have touble even identifying racism, this makes them biggots.
27 Sep 2011, 09:42 am
@Staal(Staal)-110: I’m seriously going to take up the point there with New Zealand. Their DJ’s really play the strangest music at matches. The only NZ Dj’s that get it right are the guys that do the 7′s in Wellington.
I was watching a game during the Super 15 where they actually played a slow R and B love song! AT A RUGBY MATCH?
Now we can’t talk too loudly, because our stadium Dj’s are also pathetic. Esspecially at Loftus. “bokke, bring die beker huis toe!” Is not a hot track!

@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-122: it may be a pantomine for you guys, but it has significance for many kiwis…. why is that so hard to understand???
its like the Springbok symbol on your rugby jerseys, the haka has the same sort of significance to many kiwis, but you guys think it hilarious to poke fun at it and then wonder why people like myself throw all the rubbish I do..

It was a n unfortunate incident for sure (perhaps someone spiteful made the call to the cops, who knows) and they even said they took hom to the station to avoid embarrassment in front of his friends and other patrons…quite professional I would say… really don’t see what all the fuss is about….when they realized their was a mistake they apologised and released him. South africans tend to be a bit precious about race to say the least….I mean, because he’s a black south african and they made a mistake, are they supposed to throw themselves on the ground, grovel,, beg for forgiveness and immediately resign? Puh-lease.

16 in all. Come on they ARE a NZ B side. If you can’t make the All Blacks go play for the Samoans. Only remember your roots!!!
Who gives a toss where they were born, they chose to play for Samoa and that’s where there allegiance is to. You cant take that away from the players or there supporters. Already, some on here are talking about who Springboks will meet in the quarter final… The arrogance of some South Africans supporters showing once again. There have been no big upsets in the world cup as of yet and every world cup there usually is a big one. Samoa are no amateur team and they showed that against Wales. They played poorly against Fiji and still won comfortably. A muppet of a first five (Tasesa Lavea) denied Samoa of another world cup victory against Wales. Springboks love a physical challenge but guess what? Samoa thrive on a physical game and love to run straight and hit hard!!
Biggest upset in world cup history about to happen this Friday!!
Go Manu Samoa.

27 Sep 2011, 09:50 am

@rossoneri(rossoneri)-139: Fair enough, and I don;t think it was right, but the point is they didn’t just do a spot check and decide he was a suspect based on his colour…they were tipped off that someone of his description was dealing…crappy situation for him (and yes, I’d be upset too!) and the cops…I just don;t agree with the media painting Taupo as some kind of racist redneck backwater because of it

he had these ideas about SA and Afrikaners festering in his heart and mind all along, it’s just that now he has an excuse that “everyone else is doing it against my country”

@Brads(Brads)-90:
The question really is the description they based the enquiry on.
It seems they were just looking for a black guy. Not a 5’9″ slightly chubby, black guy wearing a brown trench-coat and black jeans and wearing gold rimmed specs (or whatever)
It’s a mistake that happened in a holiday town. Probably would not have happened in Auckland
Of course our race radar is a tad over-sensitive. NZers have their areas of over-sensitivity too

@Atreides(Atreides)-146: New Zealand police arrested and strip searched a black South African rugby journalist drinking with white colleagues in a pub because he “fitted the profile of a drug dealer”.
Vata Ngobeni, who works for the Pretoria News newspaper and acts as an analyst for South Africa’s national broadcaster SABC, was arrested in the early hours of Monday morning and taken to a police station where he was strip searched.
When he tried to explain that he was a journalist on tour covering the Springboks’s performance in the Rugby World Cup, which New Zealand is hosting, he was told they were following standard procedure when they spot someone who fits “the profile of a drug dealer”.
Colleagues in the bar with him confirmed he was the only black person present.
“I have never been so embarrassed in my life,” he told a South African newspaper after being released. “I have never experienced this kind of treatment in all my travels around the world, so to be singled out as a common criminal in front of so many people is something I will never forget.”
Ngobeni also detailed his experience via a column titled ‘An unlucky black man’.
Ngobeni’s white colleagues claimed via twitter that the arrest was racially motivated.
“Thoughts with my travelling comrade @Vata-Ngobeni who was detained in Taupo, New Zealand, for being Black. Racism alive in this place!” Micheal Mentz wrote.
Brenden Nel, another South African journalist, tweeted that the police action was “racial profiling at its worst”.
“To stop and search and haul an SA journo to a police station because of the way he looks without any evidence is ridiculous,” Nel wrote.

@Ratel Brussow(Morne Steyn is under-rated)-163:
Local police chief Superintendent Glenn Dunbier rejected Ngobeni’s demand for an apology, telling Television New Zealand: “I’m not about to apologise for our police staff acting in a lawful manner, totally within police policy and in a way that was incredibly understanding and empathetic.
“This isn’t about race,” he said. “It isn’t about the Rugby World Cup. It’s about police dealing with drug-dealing in Taupo.”
Dunbier said police had information about increasing quantities of the drug ecstasy and cannabis being sold in the town and were warned it was likely to increase during the Rugby World Cup.
He said Ngobeni fit the description of somebody dealing drugs “and we were obliged to act on that information. Ethnicity, occupation or any other details would be irrelevant”

Police have hit back at accusations that the search of a prominent South African sports writer at the weekend was racially motivated.
Vata Ngobeni, chief rugby writer for the Pretoria News, has labelled himself “the unlucky black man in Taupo” in a column published overnight in his newspaper after he was taken to a police station and searched after being accused of peddling drugs in a Taupo bar.
Bay of Plenty Police district commander Superintendent Glenn Dunbie said they had “received credible information about an alleged offence and we were obliged to act on that information. Ethnicity, occupation or any other details would be irrelevant – the police focus was on the alleged offence”.
Dunbier said in recent weeks police have received information about increasing quantities of ecstacy and cannabis being sold in and around Taupo.
Dunbier said that the police officer on duty outside the bar was approached by a patron who told him that a man was dealing drugs in the toilets.
He said it was explained to Mr Ngobeni that the police had been told a man fitting his description was alleged to have been drug dealing and he was advised that the police could search him for drugs.
“They asked me if a bag that was five metres away from me was mine. I said no. Then they said that someone said that I offered them tablets in the toilets. I said to them, ‘That’s crazy’.”
Ngobeni left the bar to talk to the officers and told them who he was and what he was doing in New Zealand.
Dunbier said Ngobeni was then taken to the nearby police station because it “wasn’t appropriate” to conduct the search in public.
“I had to take off my shoes, empty my pockets, they searched the inside of my jeans, all that stuff,” said Ngobeni.
Dunbier said the search was handled “properly and professionally”, but Ngobeni told the Herald the police were heavy-handed and unreasonable and the incident had soured his trip to New Zealand.
Although the police said it was no doubt “an unpleasant experience” and apologised for any inconvenience, they say the search was handled “properly and professionally”.
Other South African journalists here for the Rugby World Cup have called the police actions racist.
South African journalist Michael Mentz, who was in the bar with Ngobeni, took to Twitter to allege the police were racially motivated.
“Thoughts with my travelling comrade @Vata-Ngobeni who was detained in Taupo, New Zealand, for being Black. Racism alive in this place!” Mentz wrote.
Brenden Nel, another South African journalist, tweeted that the police action was “racial profiling at its worst”.
“To stop and search and haul an SA journo to a police station because of the way he looks without any evidence is ridiculous,” Nel wrote.
Mr Ngobeni told the Herald he didn’t know if the police actions were racist, but “I felt a little bit out of place after the incident”.
27 Sep 2011, 10:07 am
@Atreides(Atreides)-169:
An officer responded by saying Ngobeni fitted the profile of a drug dealer, and that a search had to be conducted at a local police station. Police officers on the scene said they were following “standard procedure”.
Taupo residents who witnessed the scene expressed sympathy for Ngobeni.
“There are some idiots in the pig factory (police station) in this town,” said an elderly man.
Another commented “you will find that the police pick up all the… old cars with black drivers”.
Ngobeni later received an apology from police, but said: “I won’t be visiting Taupo again, that is for sure.”

Ross, I am not sure that you are right about that.
Poop has a definte agenda of spreading racist intolerance.
I have tried to like him and see the good in him even to make peace, but that has clearly failed.
Some of the stuff he’s said can get him banned from keo, others could get him locked up.
27 Sep 2011, 10:12 am
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-165: i know you rip Xhosa for “looting” and you call it “speed shopping”, i don’t mind… but can you please refrain from this “maori tossing” business.
please.

Only when he gives us a break.
27 Sep 2011, 10:15 am
@Ratel Brussow(Morne Steyn is under-rated)-163:
it pretty much seems to me that he wasn’t targeted because ‘he’ fitted the profile of a drug dealer they were after but that he fitted a profile of what ‘they’ decided likely drug dealers looked like.
also, who called the cops with ‘their’ suspicions of ‘a black guy probably selling drugs’? must have been management.
27 Sep 2011, 10:15 am
@Ratel Brussow(Morne Steyn is under-rated)-178: Like the cops here stop taxis all the time?
I think if the cops received a call from a person saying someone attempted to sell them drugs, then they’d have to respond. Who knows. And beat cops the world over are generally not always the smartest guys around, lets face it. Just tired of how everything gets ‘racialised.’
I got pulled over at a roadblock yesterday. Got a fine. Hmm. Didn’t run to the papers because the cop was black, did I? And if he’d arrested me for something, it would probably be a( a mistake or b) my own damn fault. Not a race thing.

All xhosas are fast, but not all fast people are xhosa, right?
27 Sep 2011, 10:25 am
@Atreides(Atreides)-187: They stop taxi’s cause they are a public transport. Same with busses. They also stop trucks. These vehicles have to abide by a seperate set of laws.
You got a fine, because you were breaking the law. And you didn’t go to the station did you? Why not do a quick search on location? The fact you equate the two is amazing. It must be hard being a martyr the whole time. How do you deal with the injustice of getting a fine for speeding? Its obviously racial profiling.
27 Sep 2011, 10:26 am

No, Xhosa’s were not too fast for Shaka, they were just too chicken… Like an All Black for a Bok… Puk, puk, puk, Pkaark
27 Sep 2011, 10:29 am
The Boks beat the No 6 ranked Wales by 1 point, they beat Fiji the No 16 ranked by a whopping 43 points!
Samoa is ranked 10, the margins, calculated with an exponent of a low power function might be 12-15 points, purely mathematical.
Rassie Da Man might toy with a respectable ‘upset’ by the Samoans to avoid the full strength Wallabies, however, for that to happened a compliment of the gallant quotas will have to take the field included chiliboi, the beast, aplon, ndungne and jp.
The prospect of Aplon vs the Tulagies must be a mouth watering
27 Sep 2011, 10:30 am
this will not end well.
I predict a riot.
27 Sep 2011, 10:30 am
@Ratel Brussow(Morne Steyn is under-rated)-208: What the f*k are you blathering on about? Are you being deliberately obtuse? I don’t have the slightest problem getting a fine, as I had a brake light out. My fault. But if someone had tipped them off that someone of my description was carrying drugs and they took me to the station to check it out, it wouldn’t be because I was black or pink or white. It would be because I was suspected of carrying drugs. Geez get some perspective.
Ans they didn’t do a quick search on location to spare him the humiliation.
That’s my whole point, which you completely missed. ******* saffa’s man, there’s an evil racist under every damn rock
27 Sep 2011, 10:30 am

@Helen(Helen)-198: Helen. Poppa is a grown man and must deal with whatever you lot will throw at him, based on some of the remarks he has made to you. Whether you chose to forget his humanity, or he yours, is tragic. But you lot must sort it out amongst yourselves.
Remember, everyone has value to give to this blog. Look at how much you all miss Grant10 now. Play nice.
27 Sep 2011, 10:36 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-218: Is there such a country as “Rhodesia”? If not, then why call me “Rhodesian”?
Ahem…
A common refrain to call any percieved mlungu too clever or wiley for a Xhosa is to call him “Rhodesian”
27 Sep 2011, 10:36 am
@Gunther(gunther)-214: Me too. That’s why I’m going. Nice rhyme by the way.
27 Sep 2011, 10:36 am
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-212: Xhosas and Mpondo repelled Shaka successfully my man, clearly you don’t know your history, you got the biased version in your gleaning in the Kisshen
27 Sep 2011, 10:36 am
@rossoneri(rossoneri)-222: You miss Grant10? Really?
27 Sep 2011, 10:36 am
With regard to the Vata Ngobeni incident, I had similar experience of a different kind in Australia about 26 years ago.. I was picked by a couple of hot chics who presumed that I could be a dealer. My experience was however pleasurable… win some, lose some
Ngobeni should hang around until he gets picked up by a white Chic looking for someone who fits the profile of a man with a huge d ick. He should shag her and then lay a complaint at the same police station as a victim of racial profiling.. they can decide whether they would like to investigate further
27 Sep 2011, 10:36 am
@Helen(Helen)-221: Nope. I love Xhosas, okay?
27 Sep 2011, 10:37 am
waar’s Grant10?

@Transformation(Transformation)-220:
I have nothing against xhosas. Some of my best friends know people who have met xhosas.
Ok, they weren’t real xhosas, more like dark skinned eastern capers.
Ok, they weren’t really dark skinned and they lived close to the border of the eastern cape. Ok, not very close, but in Botswana. In fact, I think they spoke Tswana.

@Atreides(Atreides)-215: Ya, I see what you getting at, but your last post was still pretty stupid, the running to the papers stuff.
The point is, you can explain it how you like, but somewhre along the line there was extreme racism. Where’s this guy who made the claim? Why don’t they arrest him?
Somebody had an issue with a black man at the bar and the police were happy to oblige and remove him.
27 Sep 2011, 10:38 am

referring to yourself as “clever” has to be the biggest joke of the thread bwahhahahahaha.

Any decent anti drugs measures are based on information and informers, NZ police is no different
Only the geography is varied, for instance if you assumed the highly improbable event where the Hillbrow police conducts searches of black guys for drug carring, that won’t be considered a racial profiling, right?
27 Sep 2011, 10:43 am

@Transformation(Transformation)-241: Bit.chy
Did I refer to “myself” a clever? No. Did I refer to a term given by Xhosas for a clever or wiley Mlungu… Yes. Now if you infer that I am saying that I am clever or wiley then what does that say? That you think that I am too clever and wiley for a Xhosa…? Ahem… bahla 
27 Sep 2011, 10:47 am
@Atreides(Atreides)-238: But the cops kind of just accepted the story. I mean, where’s the statement, shouldn’t they have at least identified the witness?
Anyway I suspect, more will come to light soon.
27 Sep 2011, 10:47 am

27 Sep 2011, 10:53 am
@Helen(Helen)-257: Agent Vaka will be severely disciplined upon his return to South Africa, his failure to dispense vakuzi aka suzy 2.0 has left the Boks at a distinct disadvantage, at least New Zealand intelligence failed to find the machines installed under the poles at Eden park that allow us to sway them in the event of drop goals.

I am more impressed they actually responded to a complaint.
A few years ago I saw a fellow, looked to be Maori or Pacific Islander, but that is incidental, testing the doors on cars in the parking lot across from my office.
Rang the Police and was told they couldn’t get anyone to the scene for 10 minutes. The Manukau Police station was 400 metres away for goodness sakes.
I never saw the Police turn up, and to the best of my knowledge the miscreant didn’t make off with a car.
The whole incident left me rather miffed. I suspect the Police were too busy with happy hour at Dunkin Donuts.

Honestly if the goverment is serious about job creation they need to recognise that herb could be the cornerstone of the eastern cape economy.
27 Sep 2011, 11:26 am
I suspect the problem here is that so many of you Yarpies think that the rest of the world is as obsessed with race as you chaps are.
I’ve just been browsing the Stuff.co.nz website and this whole issue of the black SA journalist being arrested is not even news there. Rightly so I might add. It’s a very minor incident. This Ngobeni chap was not arrested because he’s black, he was taken to the police station for questioning because someone in the bar claimed that he offered them drugs in the toilet. They searched him, found no drugs and let him go. Now, if you take the colour issue out of it then why would that be even remotely newsworthy?
You Yarpies have blown the whole incident completelyt out proportion because your lives revolve around the colour of people’s skin and because you’re desperate to try and discredit the Kiwis so that later on you can deflect attention away from the beasting that their All Blacks give to your Steroid-Boks . . . in the unlikely event that your chaps get past the Wallabies in the quarterfinals of course.

Sadly, you are no match for him and every interaction you have with him, leaves you a little smaller. You are now 3’6″ and shrinking by the day.

All Black centre Sonny Bill Williams got to know a sheep named in his honour in Waitangi Park, Wellington yesterday (see picture).
But we think Sonny Wool might have been better named Sonny Bill Wooliams. And that it would be fitting if he was put out to graze alongside Richie McCow, the Northland bull calf named after Williams’ 100-cap All Blacks captain.
HEHE! The Wooly mammoth!!!!

27 Sep 2011, 11:33 am
poor langers.
and his position papers.
the sad thing is that they only mean anything if people care about the person who is writing them.
asking langers to write a position paper on the global economy would be like asking Britney Spears to write a position paper on the merits of proprtional representation.

Langers, Gunth is a hero, whichever way you look at it.
It is like he was designed by the same people who designed blogging. He be king of the 3 line put-down.
You are 3’2″ right now and heading for dwarfism in a mighty hurry…. at least put up a fight man, someone is bound to step on you during the next riot

If I lose then I will do the same singing “God save the Queen” followed by a rousing rendition of swing low sweet chariot. Do we have an accord?

@youknowwho(youknowwho)-324:
Calvin Klein are making pants to accentuate the d i c k?
Well Langers they are going to have their work cut out with you.
I would stick with you Mr Price Jeans for now.
At least until Mr Klein includes a prosthesis for the less fortunate.
27 Sep 2011, 11:57 am
@francois93(francois93)-326:
I’ll accept that bet but I just want to clarify the conditions because, based on your post, I’m having to risk more than you.
Please confirm that if England beat Scotland in their RWC game on 1 October, you will also never blog as francois93 again and that you will be wearing an English flag when you video yourself singing God Save the Queen and Swing Low.
Confirm that the forfeit ois the same and that bet is on.
27 Sep 2011, 11:58 am

but you can only wear it once and then you have to deal with abrasions.. Great for sexy pics displaying a bit of underwear to tease
27 Sep 2011, 12:08 pm
24 hours, when the pain is still fresh and at its worst, to begin running from the time the final whistle sounds.
27 Sep 2011, 12:10 pm
Gunth, are you leaving Langers at 1’7″ so that we have somthing left for tomorrow or are you planning on finishing him off?
27 Sep 2011, 12:11 pm
@Helen(Helen)-349:
Not really, I only ask because I don’t have a Yarpie flag and I’d need to procure one . . . and I’d also need to learn the words of your anthem . . . but if francois insists on 24 hours I’ll accept that. I just want everything to be clear.
Oh and note that you are the witness to this wager, Helen old girl.
27 Sep 2011, 12:11 pm

apologies for using local terms..
look at our langers, all grown up and a citizen of the world.
he can say underpants in 11 different languages.

If you win, I will send you a glass of the good stuff. Undiluted period juice with a little umbrella in it and a slice of lime over the rim. Yes?
27 Sep 2011, 12:14 pm
@Kitchener(Kitchener)-353: Then we have a deal. I really hope you are English and living in the UK and not anywhere near a couple of “Yarpies” fella. I am going to enjoy this win or lose.

Dickinson quits refereeing

Canada, Japan draw in Napier
Sydney – Australia’s most celebrated referee Stuart Dickinson has announced his retirement, effectively immediately, at the age of 43.
According to the Australian Rugby website, Dickinson was in charge of an Australian record 47 Test matches after controlling his first international in 1997 when Tahiti played Papua New Guinea in a Rugby World Cup qualifier.
He went on to referee at the highest level of the game for 15 seasons, officiating at three Rugby World Cup tournaments – the 1999 event in Wales, 2003 in Australia and 2007 in France.
He also had the honour of winning the inaugural Referee of the Year Award at the annual John Eales Medal evening in 2009 and again in 2010, as well as the Super Rugby Australian Referee of the Year award on a record seven occasions.
Dickinson started refereeing at the age of 12, while he was also playing fly-half and fullback for Epping Boys High School.
He has been employed as a full time referee with Australian Rugby Union since 1997 and also controlled 98 Super Rugby matches – an Australian and tournament record.
Australian Rugby Union Managing Director and CEO, John O’Neill, paid tribute to Dickinson.
“Throughout his career at the international level, Stu was among the best referees in the world,” said O’Neill.
“His ability to control a match with empathy for not only the laws of the game but the spirit of the game was a feature of his time in the middle.
“The achievements he has collected over a long period of time, after refereeing his first Test at the age of just 29, are testament to his ability and his commitment to refereeing.”
Dickinson said he had thoroughly enjoyed his career in refereeing and the journey it had taken him on.
“It’s not often people get to turn their hobby into a career and for that I am eternally grateful,” Dickinson said.
“To have been able to travel the world and take the field with some of the best players the game has ever seen has been a huge honour.
“I want to thank my wife Fiona and our three children Michael, Emily and Isabella who have been incredibly supportive, understanding and patient over the course of my career and I look forward to spending more time with my family in the months and years ahead.
“I also want to thank the ARU and my Australian and international colleagues, the camaraderie and friendships I have made over my time in the game will be truly cherished.
“My decision to hang up the whistle I believe is the right one, as I now have a good opportunity to move into the commercial world and leave the game feeling as though I’ve achieved all I set out to achieve.”
Dickinson has completed a Masters Degree in International Sports Management through Southern Cross University.

yeah, richie mccow was supposed to be psychic, similar to paul the octopus, and was set up with two bottles of milk (or feed or something) in the week before this years tri nations final to see which team it would pick to win the 2011 tri nations. of course the whole thing was a manipulated sham and mccow then dutifully chose to feed from the bottle/meal with the all blacks flag, much to the joy and excitement of all nz no doubt.
however, of course we all know how that game went for the all blacks, so richie mccow ‘the psychic calf’ conveniently and hastily dissapeared from the news subsequently.

Gunth, just one more and old Langers will be knitting himself a blanket out of raw, undivided Molebdunum molecules

Right, got it. So you do realise what an obsequious and fawning suck-up you sound like but it doesn’t bother you . . . okay, noted. Thanks for the candid and frank reply.

@Helen(Helen)-393: Not fighting back hun.. just trampling over the illusion created by you.. Come on Helen.. Where is the Fiesty hot chic that stood her own corner.. I thought you were quite sexy when we were first introduced.. on our virtual island

@Kitchener(Kitchener)-398:
You are the only one who seems to mind.
Even old Langers has admitted that Gunth is a legend around here.
Best you pack away the Union Jack and make yourself a Gunth flag…

@Helen(Helen)-400: You are taking that illusion a bit to far now.. looking to me to give Gunt an endorsement is a bit silly.. Go easy on them pills
27 Sep 2011, 13:14 pm
Langers, I like you.
Even though you now weigh the same as my labia, you’re a likable fella.
BUT, c’mon, if you were to choose between yourself and Gunth, it’d be a no brainer, your current size notwithstanding
27 Sep 2011, 13:14 pm
WTF
27 Sep 2011, 13:15 pm
@Helen(Helen)-400:
To be perfectly honest, from the little I’ve seen of Gunther, he’s an attention-seeking blowhard who tries so hard to be funny with such limited success that I actually feel a bit embarrassed for him.
Maybe he’s an acquired taste . . . I’ll have to wait and see.

If you have examples of me borrowing material from Viscount Crouchback or anyone else then please, feel free to put it up and expose me as a plagiarist . . . but for heavens sake, don’t keep making snide and spiteful litle accusations if you can’t back them up or substantiate them in any way.
Is that asking too much?

The wizards and witches of deception, deceit, dishonour, distortion, lies, dishonesty and more are, as expected, at it again during this period of the global celebration of rugby.
There has to be any of a set of factors to explain this need for an exhibition of gross immaturity by adults ,anywhere from mostly 45 years to 95 years(senility) , as we witness here daily now.
Possibly and hopefully it is just the last dregs of a Nation, past.
You can have all of your low ground, for ironically, it is founded on quite a few fallacies, some even very simple.

Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
But you’re not really here, it’s just the radio
Don’t you remember you told me you love me, baby
You said you’d be coming back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do
Loneliness is such a sad affair
And I can hardly wait to be with you again
What to say to make you come again
Come back to me again and play your sad guitar
Don’t you remember you told me you love me, baby
You said you’d be coming back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby

For all those South African All Blacks supporters out there – Beeld reports that the New-Zealand High Commissioner in South Africa today gave a public apology after the New Zealand Police arrested the SABC rugby correspondent and also Pretoria News reporter, Mr Vata Ngobeni in Taupo yesterday because he”fitted the profile of a drug dealer”! Ngobeni was the only black patron at a Taupo bar and was taken to the police station and stripped searched, before allowed to leave!
Now if that isnt racist, dont know what is!

27 Sep 2011, 21:22 pm
Statement from NZRU… “Steve Tew, chief executive of the New Zealand Rugby Union, claimed also that the whole future of the coveted competition could be under serious threat.
Tew revealed that competing at the World Cup has cost his union more than 13 million New Zealand dollars (£6.6 million), a loss it could ill afford at a time when player costs were rising and the world economy was stagnating.
Incoming tours are halted in World Cup year and competing nations are not allowed to have any association with their sponsors for the duration of the tournament.
The International Rugby Board will complete a review of how the World Cup is run by next May. However, Tew is adamant that unless significant changes are made, the All Blacks will consider sitting out the 2015 event.”
I ask you!!? – F’kin D!!CK-HEADS..
Some comments…
“New Zealand virtually begged for the right to host this tournament at home so it’s a bit rich now to complain that they’ll be making a loss!”
“Everyone likes to have their bargaining chips but if one side makes such a ridiculous threat thne they really ought to be given the chance to carry it out.”
They should have given it to us… proper facilities & central location. Not f’in d!!ckeyedup sheep shearing sheds…
27 Sep 2011, 21:26 pm
Also from the NZRU… ““The IRB did put an extra £1?million on the table for the major unions six months ago, which helped and which was appreciated, but frankly the prospects of us going to England in 2015 under the current model are very slim. We cannot continue to sign on for an event that costs us so much money.”

“238.ufo: 26 Sep 2011, 10:43 am
A little advice that is desperately needed… Well… what can we say…? The All Blacks have this World Cup all sewn up. Who are we mere mortals to even contemplate denying them their god-given right to fulfill their pre-ordained destiny of claiming their rightful prize, title and honour. They are entitled to it. Anyone who denies that just demonstrates their own moral corruption. They are the best team ever to play rugby. In fact they are the ONLY team ever to play rugby. Every other rugby team merely aspires to the greatness of the All Black rugby team. They have neither the skills, honour, history, vision or greatness possessed by the New Zealand All Blacks. Not only are the All Blacks superior in they unique way of playing the game of rugby, but they are morally superior too, being god’s chosen ones on the rugby field. They are bigger, strongly, faster, more determined, more intelligent and more capable. They should have won it every time the world cup is held because they have clearly been the most superior, infallible, dynamic team ever in history, in the universe (which was created solely for the purpose of givng the All Blacks a place to exist). They are only denied their entitlement by the conspiracy of the rest of the world who appoint dishonest referees or poison them beforehand to temporarily cheat them our of their destiny because no other team is capable of beating them fairly and the proof of conspiracy is borne out by the fact that we have cheated the All Blacks out of every world cup since the first one which showed us the only way they can be beaten is by cheating. Who are we to even challenge them? It is absolute arrogance to walk the same hallowed turf as them, let alone play against them, let alone think they can be beaten. In their humility they humour us by letting them us play against them when in fact they are merely playing with us. Their fans are the most knowledgeable, sporting, fair, humble, level-headed, always, righteous group of people to ever support a team. Anyone who does not support the All Blacks is morally bankrupt and if you dare support another team you prove you are the spawn of the devil, because the All Blacks exist by divine appointment and to not bow down before them and prostrate yourself supine at their feet reveals a lack of character and a childish naiveté. Anyone who has the temerity to support another team is dishonest and evil… and stupid. There is no simply point in competing… We merely reveal our amoral hearts and feeble minds by even thinking we deserve to play on the same field with the gods of rugby… Let them have and keep the Webb Ellis Trophy… in fact let them give it it’s rightful name… the All Black Trophy. Let New Zealand keep the money from the un-played games… they surely deserve it for putting on the best sporting event in history. We all need to go and play snakes and ladders as it more appropriately illustrates the amoral core of those who do not worship at the feet of the Almighty All Blacks…”

@bcoet(bcoet)-506: Here’s what happened: a patron at “The Shed Bar” phones the cops at 2am and says, “I was offered Ecstasy by a black guy in the toilets of The Shed” a few minutes ago. Cops — who happen to be Maori, by the way — head there and find a bag in the loo with pills in it. The only black guy in the pub is Ngobeni. He’s asked if this bag belongs to him. He denies it. Cops take him to the station to search his person in private. Find nothing. Apologise and let him go.
It’s known as policing.
A strange concept to yarpies, no doubt.
Suggest what YOU would have done if you’d taken that call at the cop-shop.

@TheTackler(TheTackler)-528: So either you’re suggesting that Ngobeni was lying, and that he used this World Cup gig as a ruse to go and flog pills in a one horse town’s bar toilet.
Or you’re saying that if a cop in this one horse town is told that a black man tried to sell someone pills, the nearest black guy will do just nicely.

South African rugby journalist Vata Ngobeni was detained during the early hours of Monday morning when Taupo police removed him from a local pub suspecting he was a drug dealer.
Ngobeni, an employee of Pretoria News and rugby analyst for the South African Broadcasting Commission (SABC), was the only black person in the pub at the time, said a Sapa journalist travelling with him.
Ngobeni was taken to a police station and searched. He had to remove items of clothing.
“I have never been so embarrassed in my life,” said Ngobeni who was released shortly after he was searched.
“I have never experienced this kind of treatment in all my travels around the world, so to be singled out as a common criminal in front of so many people is something I will never forget.”
When police approached him, Ngobeni tried to explain that he was a journalist on tour covering the Springboks — in New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup – for television, radio and his newspaper.
An officer responded by saying that Ngobeni fitted the profile of a drug dealer. They had to conduct a search at a local police station.
Police officers on the scene said they were following what they called standard procedure.
Taupo residents who witnessed the scene expressed sympathy for Ngobeni.
“…There are some idiots in the pig factory (police station) in this town,” said an elderly man.
Another commented “you will find that the police pick up all the … old cars with black drivers.”
Ngobeni later received an apology from police, but said:
“I won’t be visiting Taupo again, that is for sure.”
Ngobeni said he had never before seen the inside of a police station — never mind being asked to get into a police vehicle in front of a crowd of people.

@TheTackler(TheTackler)-528: yip…seems New Zealand still has a looong way to go…so no use in trying to answer your question

@>^..^< katman(katman)-529: from 1 Lions supporter to another, will one day privately tell you how the NZ/AUS refereeing fraternity are abusing SANZAR ( and how Jurie Roux and Wattie are reigning them in!) I am involved with the SA refereeing structures.

The stunning truth and accuracy and shock of post 427 bring them out like rats of an unknowingly opened cage. I can just picture the scene as they climb and trample over each other to get at the supposed morsels in an almighty free for all.
White rats and black rats all in glorious disunity and disarray and thus achieving nothing.

@bcoet(bcoet)-532: Do tell!!!! But just brace yourself for the self-righteous shitstorm which is sure to follow from some kiwi bloggers!
@poppa69(poppa69)-510: Lol yea didn’t you know it’s full-blown civil ar over here? We are barricaded in our houses with 3 months supply of canned food and bottled water, and the driveway’s blocked off with razor wire and chopped up furniture. This morning I headed out on foot and luckily found a dead dog I could scavenge some meat off, but I had to fight off a few other survivors first LOL!
Ignorant ***…..you know NOTHING about this place, living here, the massive disparities…. I am one of the fortunates who enjoy a fantastic lifestyle in a beautiful country….the poor ones, the ones who struggle in grinding poverty and are the victims of 97% of crime won’t be found on a blog, so not sure who you’re trying to impresss with your ‘insider’ knowledge and pathetic barbs about dangerous crime
28 Sep 2011, 16:26 pm
My folks moved back to NZ in 94 fearing the release of Mandela would increase the crime rate dramatically and SA would be un safe to live ….. They moved back to Te Puke ( North island) and guess what – within the 1st month back the house was robbed and everything stolen – ironic !!!!!
