    Keo, I have not posted a comment on Keo for about 3 years, but I feel I need to point out that these latest contributions on KeoTV are pointless and not insightful. We are in the middle of an exciting world cup – surely some good rugby related journalism would be far better than this drivel?

    While watching Keo and these plastic animals … i just googled about NZ’s animals.

    “Lizards, frogs, and bats are the only indigenous land animals in New Zealand. Dogs (kiri) and rats were introduced by the Maori, and red and fallow deer, trout, salmon, Australian opossum, rabbits, and domestic animals have been introduced over the last 150 years by European settlers. “

    and that is that…… :lol:

    Check out this article from RUGBY 365 (which is where I get all my decent rugby news from):

    The All Blacks would consider pulling out of the 2015 Rugby World Cup unless commercial restrictions imposed on teams were revamped, New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU) chief Steve Tew said on Wednesday.

    Tew said such a drastic and unprecedented step would be “the very last port of call” but could not be ruled out, as current arrangements meant his organisation posted a loss every time the quadrennial tournament was held.

    “That’s obviously a last resort and our style is to be consultative, collaborative and to try to work with everybody to find a solution,” Tew told Radio New Zealand when asked if the All Blacks could boycott the 2015 World Cup in England.

    Tew said IRB rules penalised major unions in World Cup years because their regular Test schedules were curtailed and teams were not allowed to promote their sponsors during the tournament.

    He said this meant that competing at the 2011 World Cup was costing the NZRU more than NZ$13 million ($10.3 million).

    “It’s putting pressure on the balance sheet and frankly, in the current environment, we just can’t afford to run a World Cup-year loss, nor do we think it’s necessary.” he said.

    Earlier, Tew told Britain’s Guardian newspaper: “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.”

    He told Radio NZ that the NZRU had been pushing the IRB for changes to the commercial arrangements for eight years and had gone public to try to ensure the issue was finalised by 2015.

    “Now is not a bad time to make sure the issue is raised and considered, to give ourselves enough time to find a solution without having to go to any drastic measures,” he said.

    “We have the support of most of the major unions and a review is not only necessary but now, in our view, quite urgent.”

    Tew said the bulk of the NZRU’s NZ$13 million shortfall came from television revenues and gate receipts lost because the annual Tri-Nations competition was shortened in World Cup years so it did not clash with the tournament.

    He said other major unions faced similar problems, estimating their combined losses at 35-40 million pounds ($55-63 million).

    Tew said solutions the IRB could consider were changing the World Cup date, to allow a full Tri-Nations schedule, or paying more money to participating unions.

    He also said the IRB’s World Cup sponsorship rules, designed to avoid any clash between team sponsors and the IRB’s own corporate supporters, should be relaxed.

    “In football, the FIFA model, there is room for both sets of sponsors to get some coverage during the World Cup period and we think that’s something we should be looking at very seriously,” he said.

    A Rugby World Cup Ltd. spokesman said the commercial model that applied to the tournament was being reviewed .

    “We are committed to working in collaboration with our unions to ensure that the tournament continues to balance the strategic needs of our unions with the ability to provide the financial platform for the development of (the) sport,” he said.

    @Gunther(gunther)-59: This we know. They’ve struggled to make a profit for years.

    This is a classic clash of the interests of competing teams/individuals and the corporate sponsors of the “owners” of the tournament (in this case the IRB, but it applies equally to FIFA and the IOC).

    NZ haven’t sorted themselves out internally, now they basically want the IRB to subsidise them

    I wouldn’t be surprised if sponsors the co-incidently sponsor the NZ Rugby team become the official sponsors of the IRB in future.

    To be fair, they’re probably the biggest drawcard for the game. And they know it.

    Hmmm… this thread make one wonder once again.

    Is KEO’s team still banned from the Boks (unofficially) since their ‘indiscretions’ from a few years ago? The story Keo blew out of proportion earlier this year about the Boks in Rustenburg most probably didn’t help either.

    Hmmm… this would probably explain the constant ‘sarcasm’ towards the boks.

    @NZINCHINA(NZINCHINA)-73: The problem with NZ’s finances start at local level. They cannot fill stadiums on a NPC or Cup level, it’s shocking to see how empty the stadiums are.

    A weak local state of financial affairs translates into a weak national balance sheet.

    It’s amazing actually how NZ manage to remain the top team in the world in spite of these challenges.

    This is why they are pushing the Tri Nations part. Because revenues generated by the SA sponsors contribute a dispraportionate amount to the NZ coffers, (SANZAR).

    SA By contrast have a very healthy local comp, Tri Nations and Super Rugby aside.

    NZ want changes and make an outrageous demand, the IRB will counter with next to nothing, but in the end a bone will be thrown that relaxes the rules just a tad and everyone will walk away claiming to be a winner.

    Man these videos are just getting creepier and creepier. Its no wonder they dont have direct access to the Boks. How can you be a serious journo about a sport in your country when your national team wont let you interview them? The time of my departure from this blog is drawing near it seems. The banter is fun but also stupid at times. The insults too much. I understand that theyve said things that are unpopular and for the most part I support that, but I guess it could have been done with a bit more tact. A lot of webs and journos have said the same things in a different way.
    If it was funny at least there would be that – but it isnt. Its just juvenile.

All these sponsors and gateway fees make part of that fee. It is paid to SARU, who in turn pay SANZAR (and/or IRB… depends) and each partner gets his share.

    @Helen(Helen)-100: yeah – the only real reason I still come here is for the banter, apart from that I get my real rugby news elsewhere. Thats not so overly opinionated and one sided. I do agree with a lot they say but I also feel theres always an agenda. Like the Butch James thing. In the Tri Nations I may have supported that view to some extent but how Steyn came right in the last game and has continued to impress has been a revelation. he is a points machine, he is the only flyhalf in the tournament who is kicking the leather off the new ball and getting a better strike rate than before (all other flyhalves have dropped in accuracy – with players like Jonny Wilkinson and Boofhead Cooper down to a measly 50% accuracy and the likes of Dan Carter down to a low of 67% as opposed to our man sitting at (85% accuracy with 2 of the 3 tests at 100%) – now that is impressive. He also has huge BMT, is realy trying to tackle more, and run more – he has taken the advice and is heeding it. So to still be saying that Butch James should be our man going forward is really dubious. He offers little more than harder tackles in comparison to Morne. Even 4 years ago it was Percy slotting the kicks not Butch.

    not so sure on the AB’s, Reid just returning will either be a spectacular success or an utter failure, and I dont have confidence in penalty machine Thompson or NZ’s version of Spies Vito against the likes of your pack.. We still have weaknesses at front row, lock and at halfback… Argentina will give us some gauge as their forward pack is highly competitve, but they still fall short of the combativeness of your pack. I do think they will provide us with a much needed step up in intensity, thus helping us to build towards the all important semi… (Aussie or the Bokkes will require a lift again)..

    all kiwis will be apprehensive, things seem to be following the same patterns as previous WC’s, and I worry we will be underdone come semi time… again..

    @Bouts(Bouts)-86: to a point I do too, its like the signage deal that caused the riff in 2003 and meant Aus hosted alone… but the reported amount of money spent on the 2007 campaign (if true) was ludicrous.. it highlights poor management IMO..

So I cant see him not making an immediate impact – just like Brussouw. Agree Adam Thompson is a brain **** penalty machine and why he is there instead of Todd the f knows. He was highly impressive in the Super 15. Richie still seems a bit off the pace himself. But I think a return from Read would be a huge boost for the Al Blacks – he´s been the missing piece to the puzzle.

    On the Argies, I think their pack/front row will be less competitive without Roncero at loosehead. And certainly without Lobbe at 8 (and as captain). Those were two of their most influential players and I fear for their chances now. Also, Contemponi is still battling a rib injury, so they’re not looking too good right now. Pity.

    The kiwis will have to subdue our scum and keep 100% of their lineout ball against SA. If they do that, our loosies are taken out of the game and breakdown momentum sits firmly with kiwis. Our hope is that Vic regains his legendary status as a lineout kingpin. Too much of our hope rests in him

    We are more worried about our half back pairing. Morne can be a weak link on defense and FdP has had a few shockers recently. I really hope Nonu refuses to play on a Saturday for religious reasons and that Carter hangs up his boots for ‘personal reasons’ before the semi… we can hope :-)

    @poppa69(poppa69)-116: I also think the Argies are a poor shadow of their 2007 selves. The All Blacks will have no problem dispatching them, and therein lies the problem. Until Semis you guys would still not have had an adeqaute challenge from anyone. Its a real pity because the French shuld have been the ones. In retrospect looking at that match I think the 3 tries in a matter of minutes just did them in completely.
    But for a pro team to crumble like that and not fight back is quite sad. In addition their defence was woeful. So with no direspect at all to the Blacks that really wasnt a huge test of character. Luckily the Boks had a tough one vs Wales and possibly Samoa will be a bit of a physical challenge though I´m positive we are going to annihilate them on Friday. Just hope the injuries dont mount. What you can take from the games is that Dagg is and has been for some time, the best 15 you can field, Kahui is doing great work on wing, and your centre pairing is working well. I have some reservations about the Franks Brothers. Think they were hyped a lot and arent necessarily delivering at the moment. Stil think the selectors missed a trick by leaving out Wyatt Crockett.
    Whitelock also doesnt seem to be as strong at lock as he was a year ago. The pack is definitely the only issue at present. Albeit a minor one.

He is probably the single biggest threat in the loosies for me. The way he was playing before the Cup was absolutely devastating. he is hugely physical. They speak of Kaino being physical but Read really outdoes him by quite some way. If he stays fit you guys will be in good shape. So far the loose trio has been very suspect with Vito and Thompson and a slightly off colour Richie. Hope Read pulls through well.

    @Brads(Brads)-130: NO. What I have been saying is that NZ is in trouble financially. They cannot generate enough revenue from local sources to remain profitable under the current circumstance.

    The revenue that they receive from the SANZAR agreement (a great deal of which is not locally generated) has masked the problem to an extent. If SA pulled out of the SANZAR agreement it would probably precipitate a collapse. They should concentrate on getting their house in order locally. That way they wouldn’t alsways come off as the poor cousins in the whole thing.

    PS as the post 109 pointed out, it’s not just newscorp.

    And one of the reasons that Multi-Choice generate the revenue that they do is that they broadcast not just in SA but throughout Africa and this is a major factor in the revenue generation.

    There would not be a local (NZ) alternative that could fill the gap if Multi-choice pulled out, which it certainly would if SA were not involved.

    I was lamenting the weak negotiation skills displayed by SARU in not using this bargaining chip better to defend it’s own interests in certain matters (most notably the shocking capitulation of SARU on the regional format of the new Super 15, which benefits the Australians and no one else (no beef with NZ on that score). They are using the Super 15 to compensate for a non-existant local regional comp like our Currie Cup at the expense of the local competitions of the other 2 countries (most certainly your NPC and to a lesser extent our Currie Cup). one of the reasons your local NPC has struggled for attendance is that they are spoiled by the amount of Supe Rugby that they can see. So in essence, a ever expanding Super Rugby format (to the main benefit of Aus at the moment) is canabalising the attendance of the local competitions.

    @Slumtown(Slumtown)-133: @Helen(Helen)-132: we certainly missed a trick not picking Crockett, but I think his failings on that EOYT counted against him… was a standout during the Super season, but henry and Co have shown they havent learnt from 2007..

    I cannot understand why you would pick someone like Boric (untried due to injury) and totally disregard the man who DID the job in 2010, namely Donnelly… I understand his form in super rugby was down, but the man stepped up when required… the old adage of it being harder to get into the AB team than out of has fallen away, and we may rue that yet again…

    on the Franks brothers, Owen is world class, Ben Im not sold on… Dagg has been superb since injury, I guess youth can be an advantage, I still have my reservations on his defense at times… Whitelock also was injured, so perhaps he is still to regain that form??

    Helen, I think big Vic has unfortunately started to lose his invincibility, but agree he is vital… I think if our teams meet you will see the ABs kick for open spaces rather than the sideline… though they may play Williams, I think those two have had some fantastic battles in the lineout, and perhaps thats why he was selected in the squad to combat Vic?

    You are correct, NZRU are in trouble.

    However, where I say Newscorp I actually mean all broadcasting rights, as distinct from local sponsorship in any format that might take.

    Yes, if SA were not involved, then a massive chunk of the appeal of SH rugby would be gone, but that is not the case. SA are here and they do compete.

    The reason broadcasters outside of SA are interested in screening games, and paying big bucks to do so, is because it is a wider competition than just the Currie Cup.

    I will wager you anything you like that the income earned via external broadcasting from the S15 is massively more lucrative to SARU than the Currie Cup.

    Under the last SANZAR agreement, the ARU received 29% ($US93M) of total revenue with NZ and SA getting 33% ($US107M) and 38 % ($123M) respectively. As part of the protracted negotiations surrounding the awarding of the new Super 15 franchise, all SANZAR Nations agreed to split revenue from the new deal equally as each country would have 5 teams.

    The trade off for this concession to the ARU was that the new broadcast deal only included Super 15 games and Tri-nations tests with each Nation being able to negotiate its own deals for rights to their respective in-bound international test and domestic competitions. When these revenues are added to the bottom line, things look decidedly paltry for the ARU.

    It has been estimated that with Currie Cup and in-bound tests, SA Rugby has been able to negotiate an extra $US58M, an increase in revenue of 46% on the old agreement. The NZRU, whose NPC is estimated to be worth $US20M, will increase revenue by 13%, even before in-bound test revenue is factored into this figure.

    With no third-tier competition to hock, the ARU stands to only increase revenues by 7% or $US7M before in-bound test revenues are considered, not a great prospect given the poor TV ratings of this year’s tests.

    So Sanzar activities are split equally however domestic comps and inbound tours are not. Nor should they be. This it is why it is in Australias interest to marginalise our domestic competion.

    Interesting to note the difference in perceived value between NZ and SA domestic comps.

    The 5 year deal for S15 is this – Figures are in millions

    SA US$180 – 48%
    NZ US$120 – 30%
    AU US $100 – 25%

    The disproportionate amout for NZ compared to Aus is because Aus doesn’t have a domestic comp to prop up and the other two unions (NZ & SA) have ganged up and screwed them to the floor.

    Compare that to the previous split for the S14
    SA US $123 – 38%
    NZ US $107 – 33%
    AU US $93 – 29%

    However, it does show that despite all the assumptions from SA commentators, SARU does in fact have teeth and have secured the best deal from the partnership.

    @Brads(Brads)-173:
    ok i didnt research it but whats wrong about it?
    under the old sanzar deal newscorp paid $550 mil for worldwide broadcast rights over 10 years, this money was evenly split between the three member unions yet our contribution in broadcast viewership is the highest (as mutichoice pays more, in turn to newscorp, to show these games here, to a bigger audience).

    isn’t it fair to say that sa accounts for more of the revenue that newscorp makes than oz and nz does? if sa ‘offered’ the same amount in revenue to newscorp as you guys do dont you think it would make the whole deal less attractive to newscorp?

    sa viewers contribute the most in order for newscorp to make a profit…in turn they can then pay sanzar a lot of money for the tv rights…the money from sanzar was evenly split between unions…

    the reworked sanzar deal gunther mentions only marginally changes that as i’m pretty sure that sa viewers are still the major contributors to revenue, after the fact.

    i mean, think it through man…is there any way that nz viewers could generate $107 mil in revenue for the nzru under any and all possible circumstances?

    I have no doubt that we’ll get to the semis.

    1) Ausies have a wounded ego and recent losses to Samoa and Ireland have done their confidence no favours.
    2) Boks are peaking and getting back to their preferred forward dominance.
    3) Our squad is settled and we have game breakers that break the opposition in the last 30mins.
    4) Quade Cooper is a liability at RWC.
    5) Having a foreign coach when you’re playing for national pride detracts from the emotion and patriotism that the boks will obviously experience. SA respond better to the intense emotions of big games.

    Thise are the fluffy reasons. The practical reasons is that Aus will not have an answer for Brussouw, Hougaard, Burger, Steyn & Steyn

    Hehe. On CNN there was an article recently where the americans talked about Lomu, which was considered a freak. Then he continued by saying they have hordes of freaks in the US who would rule rugby.

    Guess they don’t understand why we call him a freak. Not because he’s big, but rather that he’s strong, fast and can play 80min despite the fact that he’s so big.

    As is the nature of this competition, all games in the knockout stages could go either way, with the exception of the NZ vs Arg semi which I feel is a foregone conclusion. Aus vs SA is 50/50 i reckon, whoever turns up on the day will take it, both teams capabable of putting on a horror show when the mood takes them. NZ vs SA is more like 65/35, we’ll have to do everything right and have a bit of good fortune to progress, imo. even in 2009 when we had the ABs number, the away game was still pretty tight.

    The spotters are fairly effective as a warning system for beach recreational users but due too human error, weather conditions and water quality issues it is obviously not foolproof. And people of course ignore the warnings.

    The New Zealand Herald reported that 2 South African rugby journalists were arrested last night for feeding liquor to a Hobbitt, which is a protected creature in NZ. Their claim that the creature was actually another journalist called Mark Keohane was eventually proved to be true when the police checked their story with the Springbok coach who apparently told them while he didn’t know what a Hobbitt was he could confirm that Keohane was actually a 2 faced bast*rd.
    Interviewed on his release, Keohane stated angrily that he’d had enough of this World Cup. “Being thrown around a bar by a drunken crowd of England rugby players was bad enough,” he moaned, “but this was the final straw.
    This is not the first incident Keohane has been involved in since arriving in the country. 2 days ago, a suspicious suitcase was spotted abandoned in the Springboks training room during a briefing session. After clearing the building the bomb squad discovered that the suitcase contained Mr Keohane and a tape recorder.
    The tape was confiscated and handed over to Graham Henry and Keohane released with a warning.

    Rugby wins as SABC and DStv battle
    CRAIG RAY | 28 September, 2011 00:10

    The SABC is smashing Supersport in a Rugby World Cup TV battle, a sign the game has great appeal beyond subscription television.

    The Boks’ first game of the tournament, against Wales just over two weeks ago, was watched by 3.39million viewers on SABC2 while 683 372 watched it on DStv’s Supersport1 and another 334 390 on Supersport4 (part of a limited bouquet).

    This gives the pay channel just over a million viewers on two channels.

    These statistics will certainly interest the South African Rugby Union, which is caught between a lucrative income from Supersport and the desire to spread the game to places where DStv is not widespread.

    Supersport holds the broadcast rights to all major rugby tournaments but the SABC has secured limited rights to games, including all the Springbok matches, for the duration of the World Cup.

    Repucom, a company that analyses statistics on TV viewership of sport, has been tracking audience figures, supplied by the Television All Media Survey throughout the current Rugby World Cup.

    Along with the Wales-SA figures, it showed that, for the Boks’ second game, against Fiji, SABC2 viewership increased to 3.44-million while Supersport’s dropped to a combined 820000, although DStv numbers don’t reflect Supersport’s HD channel 171.

    By last Monday, SABC had shown 10 live games with an average audience of 1.26 million. Supersport had shown all the games and had an average audience of 220 556 on Supersport1 and 89 862 on Supersport4.

    The national broadcaster has apparently ploughed millions into its RWC coverage and, despite constraints, it is producing the goods.

    The SABC is taking rugby to parts of the country that can’t afford Supersport subscriptions. For rugby authorities, the SABC would hold the key to growing the sport through TV and radio stations that bring the game to millions of listeners.

    @Robzim(Robzim)-481: Totally. There are some things that I draw the line at. Sharks without a cage. Blooukrans Bunji. The Epic.

    Not on my bucket list. Or even close to it. :)

    Back in the day when i used to windsurf at Blaauberg we’d spot them regularly but for some or other reason it never freaked us out.

    When I saw the episode of Wild Boys where they were in the water with the Whites I decided that this is not the actions of a rational human being :)

    Not really surprising those stats.
    Unfortunately for those who cant afford DSTV, its all about rights paid to SARU by Supersport.
    SABC cant compete on this front.
    It is an unfortunate situation though. It goes without saying that if SARU want to grow the game in SA, they’d surely want it to reach a wider audience. Its all about the benjamins.

    Reckon swimming with sharks without a cage would be a fairly terminal entry on a bucket list. That or the beginning of a very short list.

    Interesting stats on Penalties conceded this far at the WC: From Rugby 365:

    Here, at a glance, are how the teams have scored on the disciplinary sheet:

    Pool A
    New Zealand – penalties conceded: 12 + 11 + 11 = 34
    France – penalties conceded: 10 + 9 + 7 = 26

    Pool B
    England – penalties conceded: 12 + 14 + 12 = 38
    Argentina – penalties conceded: 15 + 9 + 9 = 33
    Scotland – penalties conceded: 11 + 6 + 11 = 28

    Pool C
    Ireland – penalties conceded: 9 + 8 + 11 = 28
    Australia – penalties conceded: 15 + 12 + 4 = 31
    Italy – penalties conceded: 9 + 5 + 8 = 22

    Pool D
    South Africa – penalties conceded: 10 + 7 + 6 = 23
    Wales – penalties conceded: 5 + 14 + 10 = 29
    Samoa – penalties conceded: 11 + 12 + 7 = 30

    * The Boks are also second on two other tables – points and tries scored. Hosts New Zealand top both of those.

    ‘Just another bad idea from the southern hemisphere’
    September 28, 2011 – 2:22PM

    France’s loose head prop Fabien Barcella is not a fan of GPS tracking systems. Photo: AFP

    French players have been fitted out with GPS navigation systems at training to measure how far they are running, but the idea is not to everyone’s liking.

    Prop Fabien Barcella says that he is dead set against it.

    “We don’t need that to know if guys are running well or not,” he said.

    Advertisement: Story continues below
    “On top of that when we fall to the ground, it gets in the way. It’s just another bad idea that we have got from the southern hemisphere teams. One of the downsides of professionalism.”

    English like fighting, eating

    No big surprise at how the England team likes to relax — with a bit of fighting and competitive eating.

    Flanker James Haskell said a group of players including Matt Stevens, Lee Mears and Alex Corbisiero were big fans of Ultimate Fighting Championship “We really enjoy it. Sometimes it’s difficult to get on TV,” Haskell said.

    “There’s a lot of fans who come out of nowhere. A lot of the boys are keenos, knowledgeable about it and spotting what was going on.

    “I was just there to watch a tear-up.”

    And prop Stevens said he was the team’s competitive-eating king after seeing off an unnamed rival.

    “I beat someone on an eat-off, someone a similar size to me. I was very proud of that moment. It was chocolate and sweets,” said the burly Stevens.

    “I wouldn’t take me on in that area.”

    Canada give top marks for Hawke’s Bay

    “It’s been 10 out of 10,” Canada’s coach Kieran Crowley said of his team’s experiences in the wine-producing region of Hawke’s Bay, where they were based for almost two weeks.

    “The guys have really enjoyed it, seen the area and had good times. It’s been a really neat environment. Possibly the management have seen too many wineries but we’ll talk to them later.”

    Canada captain Pat Riordan added his words of praise, saying: “We’ve managed to enjoy some hospitality and meet the locals.

    “Willie from the local hunting and fishing store has been awesome, I’ve met him a couple of times, he’s a is a real neat character.

    “A couple of the guys are thinking about coming back and settling down here.”

    May I have your autograph?

    When it comes to being overawed in the presence of greatness it seems even top rugby players are no different to everyone else.

    Nic Johnson, the United States backrower who turned on a sterling performance in a beaten pack against Italy on Tuesday, admitted afterwards to being blown away merely by being in the presence of his opposite, Italian captain Sergio Parisse.

    Such esteemed company made the Americans feel “like we are superstars, when most of us are just amateurs who have given up our lives to be here,” Johnson said.

    “I can’t help but get starstruck sometimes. When I see the other players like Sergio in the locker room I want to go up and ask for a photo or an autograph.”

    i get NSRI notices…. so here goes…

    SEA RESCUE – FISH HOEK – Tuesday, 28th September, 2011. Shark incident:

    At 12h24 NSRI Simonstown volunteer duty crew were activated following reports of a man being bitten by a shark while swimming at Clovelly Corner close to Fish Hoek Beach.

    NSRI Simonstown volunteer duty crew launched their sea rescue craft and EMT (Emergency Medical Treatment) paramedics, CMR (Cape Medical Response) paramedics, Metro EMS, ER-24 private ambulance service, the Discovery ER-24 helicopter, Disaster Management and Fish Hoek Surf Lifeguards responded.

    The SA Police Services, responded to assist.

    On arrival on-scene a 42 year old man was found on the shore suffering complete amputation of his right leg, above the knee, and partial amputation of his left leg, below the knee. It appears he was rescued from the water by a bystander who left the scene before we could identify him.

    The 42 year old man is believed to be a British citizen but resident locally in South Africa, and believed to be from Plumstead, but this has not yet been confirmed.

    The man was stabilized on-scene by paramedics and airlifted to Constantiaberg Medi-Clinic hospital by the Discovery ER-24 helicopter in a critical condition but he is now believed to have been stabilized.

    The man was conscious when paramedics attended to him on the beach but was sedated on-scene by paramedics in their efforts to stabilize the patient.

    From what we understand the City of Cape Town shark spotters had flown the “sharks present – no swimming” flags since early this morning and bathers to Fish Hoek and the individual had personally been warned, by the shark spotters, not to swim due to the presence of at least 3 White Sharks visible in the water close inshore since this morning.

    At this time of year warnings are also posted, through the press, by NSRI and the City of Cape Town warning of higher than normal concentrations of shark activity close in-shore particularly along the False Bay coastline where shark researchers have identified the phenomenon of increased shark activity close inshore.

    We are encouraging bathers and surfers not to enter the water today and to be generally cautious swimming or surfing along the False Bay Coastline and, where shark spotters are present, to obey the shark spotters instructions.

    Imagine it. The year is 2051
    Uganda hosts the 17th world cup. Opening game in the Lee Chang Mandarin Heroes stadium.
    Minnows Australia and one of their newly acquired colonies, New Zealand put up a brave display of running rugby on Friday night. New Zealand winger, Klasie van Staden scored a hat trick before Thinus Steyn (son of former springbok Francois) slotted 4 drop goals from behind his own goal line for the Australians. The third umpire had to be called in to judge one of the kicks as it appeared he’d made irregular use of his laser guided iris implant.
    Both teams made full use of the recently unbanned substance Anabolica Fiximus, taken anally during the half time break. It lifted the spiirts of both sets of forwards and their increased aggression resulted in 4 players being airlifted to the nearby US airbase for cathartic valiscous treatment and then resussitation.
    The final score was 12 – 9 as per the recently introduced scoring system which counts the number of players who can touch both their ears at the same time without assistance.
    After their victory over the kiwis, Aus now have improved odds of meeting South Eastern Midlands Samoa in the final of the prized John Smit Cup (renamed since his heroic efforts in winning the cup way back in 2011)

    @poppa69(poppa69)-159: Heheh I hear you. Yeah I think essentially the forwards are the wallies main problem. SA vs NZ is very fairly weighted up front, but you guys have the wood on us with the backs. I could see the reaction of the Kiwi crowd at the French match and the peeps really look like they could do with that win. They were cheering their heads off everytime the All Blacks scored. We all do for our own teams but sometimes you can see it just means a bit more so it obviously meant a lot for them to get one over the French after last time.
    Either way unfortunately it wont be an SA vs NZ final. We have to first get through the Wallabies and then through you lot. Going to be one huge ask for the Saffa team but the way theyre playing currently is heartening. Must say those Tournament stats Helen was rattling off made SA look pretty impressive. Nice to see our lot actually scoring tries and looking cohesive for a change. We´ve suffered miserably over the last year man.

    World Cup Pool R, opening game
    Old rivals South Africa and the Independent People’s Republic of Western Cape locked horns in an epic encounter. The free flowing rugga was spoilt by the ongoing race relations of Africa, with both teams calling other keos.
    South African captain, John Smit silenced his critics and even two spectators with one barn storming run after another. Japie Zille, the captain of IPRWC team badgered the ref about Smit’s illegal use of his zimmer frame during these runs.
    Both teams struggled in the lineouts, but Geoff Longshlong eventually achieved dominance in this facet of play with his 3.03m frame towering over the opposition. Geoff also reached the milestone of the first artificially designed human to reach 10 caps in a IPRWC jersey.
    Japie Zille, in his concession speech after the game, thanked Buddah for the opportunity to play.

    The All Blacks would consider pulling out of the 2015 Rugby World Cup unless commercial restrictions imposed on teams were revamped, New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU) chief Steve Tew said today.

    Tew said such a drastic and unprecedented step would be “the very last port of call” but could not be ruled out, as current arrangements meant his organisation posted a loss every time the quadrennial tournament was held.

    “That’s obviously a last resort and our style is to be consultative, collaborative and to try to work with everybody to find a solution,” Tew told Radio New Zealand when asked if the All Blacks could boycott the 2015 World Cup in England.

    Tew said International Rugby Board (IRB) rules penalised major unions in World Cup years because their regular Test schedules were curtailed and teams were not allowed to promote their sponsors during the tournament.
    He said this meant that competing at the 2011 World Cup was costing the NZRU more than NZ$13 million ($10.3 million).

    “It’s putting pressure on the balance sheet and frankly, in the current environment, we just can’t afford to run a World Cup-year loss, nor do we think it’s necessary.” he said.

    Earlier, Tew told Britain’s Guardian newspaper: “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.”

    He told Radio NZ that the NZRU had been pushing the IRB for changes to the commercial arrangements for eight years and had gone public to try to ensure the issue was finalised by 2015.

    “Now is not a bad time to make sure the issue is raised and considered, to give ourselves enough time to find a solution without having to go to any drastic measures,” he said.

    “We have the support of most of the major unions and a review is not only necessary but now, in our view, quite urgent.”

    Tew said the bulk of the NZRU’s NZ$13 million shortfall came from television revenues and gate receipts lost because the annual Tri-Nations competition was shortened in World Cup years so it did not clash with the tournament.
    He said other major unions faced similar problems, estimating their combined losses at 35-40 million pounds ($55-63 million).

    Tew said solutions the IRB could consider were changing the World Cup date, to allow a full Tri-Nations schedule, or paying more money to participating unions.

    He also said the IRB’s World Cup sponsorship rules, designed to avoid any clash between team sponsors and the IRB’s own corporate supporters, should be relaxed.

    “In football, the FIFA model, there is room for both sets of sponsors to get some coverage during the World Cup period and we think that’s something we should be looking at very seriously,” he said.

    A Rugby World Cup Ltd. spokesman said the commercial model that applied to the tournament was being reviewed .

    “We are committed to working in collaboration with our unions to ensure that the tournament continues to balance the strategic needs of our unions with the ability to provide the financial platform for the development of (the) sport,” he said.

    He’s Andries’ son, but due to dad’s promiscuity, no-one knows who the mother is… Maternity tests were performed on 93,003 women who claimed to be the mother and the most likely candidate seems to be a test tube in Plattekloof dental clinic. Andries says he never had se xual relations with that test tube, but a 1.3m long pubic hair was found on the scene. Invetigation is ongoing

    All Blacks hooker Keven Mealamu said players would be devastated if they were unable to compete at the next World Cup.

    Mealamu is certainly hoping the boycott does not happen.

    “It would be devastating for our country and for rugby players,” said the veteran hooker.

    “All we can control is what we do on the field and try and leave it up them to try and make that happen.”

    “It would be devastating for us as rugby players to know we wouldn’t be able to make it to the next World Cup.”

    Tew has said that if the IRB doesn’t rethink the way they distribute money out of the World Cup’s massive profit pool, then New Zealand could well pull out of the next tournament in England. Yes, England.

    So Tew has delivered a hammer blow to the next hosts by threatening to withdraw the game’s iconic team. A World Cup without the All Blacks would be, well, like a milkshake without milk.

    It;s possible that the Bledisloe Cup and possibly the mandela cup may have lost a fixture? Not sure.

    2057. Super83 Final
    Floyd Shivambu Stadium, Harrismith
    Queensland Reds vs North Eastern Natal Midlands Mongooses

    The Reds showed no signs of jet lag after their late morning flight of 34 minutes from Brisbane Intergallactic and played with their usual aggression. Even when the Mongooses ran onto the field, they maintained the aggression, but still only toward each other and some of the spectators.
    Mongoose Captain, honourable chief Sithole (IV), was seen handing the touch judge a R300,000 note, but the ref thought a penalty was sufficient punishment for the infringement. Minutes later, the same touch judge tripped a Reds player moments before he crossed the try Mongoose try line.
    In his post match interview, Reds coach, Quade Cooper accepted the defeat, but said the travelling distance and rife corruption in SA are to blame for their lack lustre performance. He could be seen pic-pocketing the cameraman’s laptop during the interview. A citing commission is looking into the matter
