Duane Vermeulen is out of the June Tests. Stormers strong man Duane Vermeulen returned home from the Stormers Super Rugby tour because of injury and conservatively won't play again until July. It could be that he is out for the remainder of the Super Rugby season as well because of knee ligament damage. Stormers loose-forward Rynhardt Elstadt is also out for at least six weeks as the Cape-based franchise's season went from bad to worse in Sydney. Vermeulen, Meyer's first choice No 8, will be nursed back to action for the Rugby Championship in August. His injury means a likely Bok start ... Read Article20 May 2013
GREGOR PAUL, in the Herald on Sunday, writes world rugby will get its integrated season after the 2015 World Cup and Super Rugby won't break to accommodate an international window. Super Rugby will shift to a March start and won't break for test matches, the June window will be shifted to July and all players will have a 14 to 16-week off-season. Other innovative plans are being discussed, such as building a world series of tests in years that fall between the World Cup and British Lions tours. The revolution that All Black coach Steve Hansen called for last week is coming. The players ... Read Article25 Apr 2013
Jan Serfontein, the player of last year's under 20 World Championship, will head the baby Boks defence in France. Serfontein and Kings wing Sergeal Petersen are two Super Rugby regulars to make Dawie Theron's squad and brilliant flyhalf Handre Pollard is another to play in a second successive tournament. Theron's squad lost a three-match series 2-1 to Argentina in Argentina. Serfontein, Petersen and Western Province's Cheslin Kolbe did not play in those matches. Bulls loose forward Ruan Steenkamp is captain. Serfontein and Pollard are the only two squad members from last year's ... Read Article14 May 2013
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has selected several uncapped Blues players in his training group. Hansen confirmed 38 names and this included many from the potent Blues backline. The Highlanders, despite only winning one match in this year's Super Rugby competition, have six players in the group. An obvious area of weakness is at hooker where Hansen has selected veterans Andrew Hore and Keven Mealamu and Canes Dane Coles. Options are limited and it certainly is a concern for New Zealanders. No overseas-based players were considered, as it is NZRFU policy. Among the uncapped players ... Read Article15 May 2013
French coach Philipe Saint-Andre has included three South African-born players for the three-Test series against the All Blacks in New Zealand. Racing Metro flank Bernard le Roux and Clermont prop Daniel Kotze join Antonie Claassen in a squad that includes eight new caps. Fijian-born Clermont winger Noa Nakaitaci is among the newcomers. Saint-Andre has rested flyhalf Francois Trinh-Duc, but included Toulon's Frederic Michalak. France play world champions New Zealand on June 8, 15 and 22 in Auckland, Hamilton and New Plymouth respectively. French super club Toulon's foreign dominance ... Read Article5 Mar 2013
MARK KEOHANE writes the Varsity Cup in its first year rocked. Since then it's just another professional tournament. The Varsity Cup may have the innovation of doing a few things differently, but what was supposed to be a celebration of student rugby somehow just seems like another tournament, in which the traditional power houses remain the traditional strengths in the tournament. Much has been made of the Port Elizabeth-based Nelson Mandela University display this season and equally there has been bewilderment at how poor Shimlas have been. But it seems the old one two of Stellenbosch University ... Read Article12 May 2013
Marcus Watson scored in extra time to beat the Blitzbokke in the London World Series Sevens Cup quarter-finals. The teams were level 14-all at full time. Watson's try came four minutes into extra time. England won 19-14. England had the chance to win the match with the last play of the game in normal time. They were awarded a penalty and opted to take a drop kick for goal. It missed. Watson then rounded off a move after England had retained possession for two minutes. South Africa suffered further embarrassment when they lost for a second time in the tournament to the USA and were eliminated ... Read Article8 Jan 2013
Limpopo will play in the Vodacom Cup as a separate side for the first time this year. The region, which is a sub-union of the Blue Bulls Rugby Union, has been granted a place in the tournament in its own rights to help foster rugby in South Africa’s far north. They join the 14 provincial unions as well as the returning Pampas XV from Argentina in the tournament, which kicks off in the second week of March and concludes in mid-May. The Polokwane-based Limpopo team will play in the North Section of the competition, along with the Blue Bulls, Golden Lions, Griffons, Leopards, Pumas, Valke ... Read Article28 Sep 2011

@cane(cane)-397:
what’s brave about mocking the boks and the coaching staff behind their backs?
28 Sep 2011, 13:20 pm
@Staal(Staal)-398:
Once Krejir’s boys are done with him, he’ll be a labrador. They remove the testosterone, the balls, the teeth and the bi tch attitude and voila! a lab!

@rugby911(rugby911)-399: Talking about a “overinflated view” of himself…
28 Sep 2011, 13:20 pm
So some guy playing gotcha with sharks at Fish Hoek beach… just lost the game…!
But lucky to survive… apparently… (so far…)

If you don’t have the courage to laugh at Snor behind his back, how the helll will you be able to do it to his face? Baby steps Gunth, baby steps

Be worried staaldraad, be very worried…
They are probably surrounding your camper van as we speak.

Ja, he was caught with his d i c k in the cookie jar, so to speak.
Or as they say in OUdsthoorn, he got his nerd stick stuck in the mud box
28 Sep 2011, 13:27 pm
@Gunther(gunther)-407:
no but i’m sure we’ll be hearing from skop…
@Staal(Staal)-410:
yeah… they certainly do… no details yet but the guy is apparently still alive…
the last attack all they found was a bathing-cap.. so this guy is very ‘lucky’…!
28 Sep 2011, 13:27 pm
@cane(cane)-337: Nah, even stevens between the Boks and All Blacks since the last WC.
What will be interesting is to see how both sides go post-WC.

@ufo(ufo)-404:
The Fish Hoek sharks are domesticated.
All part of the outer city, job creation inititaive launched by Zille.
They use unempyable school leavers to swim with sharks while covered in marmite. The sharks take one bite and never again.
28 Sep 2011, 13:29 pm
@Helen(Helen)-400: We all go nuts on here now and then. Beneath it all, we are decent folk.

Latest Shark sightings by the sharkspotters in CT:

Fish Hoek 25 September
Fish Hoek (x3) 24 September 2011
Muizenberg 18 September 2011
St James 16 September 2011
Muizenberg (x2) 16 September
So, the bloke took his chances I guess.

it’s not just divot.
he mocked matfield and spies.
it’s unnacceptable.
I’ve phoned afriforum three times already today.
28 Sep 2011, 13:31 pm
@ufo(ufo)-412: But I believe it’s cost him an arm and a leg.
Well at least a leg…..

Not too worried about the AB’s after world cup.
They’ll probably forfeit a few games as there’ll be huge delays getting SBW through airport security, even without a towel around his head
28 Sep 2011, 13:32 pm
manne – those thing are friggen huge….
and have an attitude worse than a Jack Russel with a Pitbull stuck in his throat!
Seen them in the water…. beautiful but friggen scary…
28 Sep 2011, 13:33 pm
@Robzim(Robzim)-416: to be honest – it’s actually tragic that we don’t see them there (and further up) more often….
28 Sep 2011, 13:33 pm
@Helen(Helen)-414:
They get hold of skopskiet and they’ll wish they were vegetarian.
Skop is an old timer and therefore should be cooked over a long low heat.
coq au vin if you will.
He certainly shouldn’t be eaten raw on the hoof.

We all are decent folk on here every now and then. Beneath it all, we are nuts.

Didn’t know that. Spies? Really? Did he insult Adonis? This has to stop.
I am writing to Huisgenoot as we speak.

It’s impossible to get through.
Apparently they are still celebrating national braai day.

You’re right, old timers need to be slow roasted over a spit, but some of my Maori friends claim that you fist stuff the old person’s cavaties with what’s left of their medication.
Makes for a nutritious snack between meals

I hear they’re in Ladybrand for the unveiling of a bust of Pik Botha.
Both members are there, so they won’t answer the phone today.

@Staal(Staal)-426:
langers is is Sir Shaun Fatcakes of Stevenage.
Quantity Surveyor and one time caddie at Langebaan Country Club.
Skop is now an assshampooist at Shaggers Hair Salon.
28 Sep 2011, 13:42 pm
@Staal(Staal)-421:
The Sharks or the Spotters or both
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.
Skoppy is the chairperson of the Anti- shark brigade- is probably out hunting now on his lilo with a loaded speargun in the hand
28 Sep 2011, 13:42 pm
@Gunther(gunther)-432: aha – so he is Body on Tap!
28 Sep 2011, 13:43 pm
@Robzim(Robzim)-416:
sure did… i don’t go in.. if it’s rained and the beach is wet i won’t even go on the beach…
@stormersboy(stormersboy)-418:
no ‘arm done then…
must say it’s quite nerve-wracking waiting for a name… and hoping it’s not someone i know…
28 Sep 2011, 13:43 pm
@Staal(Staal)-426:
You don’t want to know.
Whatever happens, when Krejir’s boys ask you if you know Langers, say you don’t, cause they’ll use you to get to him.
They’ve been looking for him since that Teasers girl claimed that someone sniffed her underwear… while she was wearing it! …in Shoprite nogal!
28 Sep 2011, 13:44 pm
@Robzim(Robzim)-433: naw – talking about the sharks man.
we need more sharks…. in the water i mean!
28 Sep 2011, 13:45 pm
@Staal(Staal)-431:
Swamp donkeys are quite special.
Becaue of the constant damp, their hooves become ever less solid, until they end up walking on what can only be called lumps of vegetable soup
28 Sep 2011, 13:46 pm
@Staal(Staal)-437:
Agree 100%
28 Sep 2011, 13:46 pm
@ufo(ufo)-435: Yes I can imagine. I heard he lost a leg. I really hope he pulls through.
28 Sep 2011, 13:47 pm
@Robzim(Robzim)-433:
yeah… it’s crazy how many people still swim here…
the spotters normally do good work… and if visibility is bad they put out the black flag anyway…
thing is we just had a city wide power-outtage… i wonder if they couldn’t blow the siren because there was no power…?
28 Sep 2011, 13:48 pm
@ufo(ufo)-435:
wet beach..
but without batting an eyelid i had to push a Tigershark away once (actually on more than one occasion) at Aliwal.
nogal difficult to do it and hold the video camera still without shaking…

28 Sep 2011, 13:53 pm
@ufo(ufo)-441:

@stormersboy(stormersboy)-444: come dive with us in Aliwal…
50 sharks (Black tips, Bull, Tigers and Dusky’s all around you) they pass you in an arm’s length….
28 Sep 2011, 13:54 pm
@Gunther(gunther)-446: YOu leave my mother out of this.
28 Sep 2011, 13:54 pm
@Staal(Staal)-442:
sheesh bud… you’re braver’n me for sure…
i’ve gone cage-diving and watched the breaching sharks off seal island in false bay… you really can’t appreciate the size of these really quite beautiful creatures until they’re eyeing you out for din-dins…
it’s not the length that’s so impressive… (long as they are…) what really popped my eyes was the GIRTH of these things… they are seriously massive…
