More woe for Reds
20 Mar 2012
Reds winger Digby Ioane has been suspended for five weeks for a dangerous tackle in their match against the Sharks.
Ioane tip-tackled Sharks flanker Marcell Coetzee, and while he was yellow carded for the offence, the citing commissioner decided the incident warranted further inspection.
Two previous disciplinary matters relating to dangerous tackles in 2008 counted against Ioane, who will be sidelined until the Reds’ round nine clash with the Blues in Auckland. The ban translates into four missed games, given the Reds have a bye in round eight.

This Grabouw mess is going to wreak havoc with Golden Delicious prices and availability. I’m going to get Zille to step in and end it.

I have to travel to Arnies tomorrow along the N2.
If my Piccanto gets abused the Revolting Cape Spanish and Xhosa masses will face retribution from the kia owners club.
Be warned.

Well, they’ll stone ya when you’re trying to be so good
They’ll stone ya just a-like they said they would
They’ll stone ya when you’re tryin’ to go home
Then they’ll stone ya when you’re there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

On the brighter side I had a delicious Pelican curry at Bukhara.
It wasn’t that spicy but the bill was enormous.

What a load of Hogg wash. Have a look at the tackle again, and you will see he drove the player into the ground, he didn’t drop him, threw him, nothing.
One week would have been sufficient, but then again SANZAR, have no clue on what they are doing anymore. Let’s get some consistency.
Player are being targeted for things they did years ago, i.e. JP Nel and now Ioani.
This is NZ panel again making sure that the Reds don’t make the final…. (lol)

“Cape Town – Black and coloured Grabouw residents guarded their schools against attack from either side following violent protests, the Cape Times reported on Tuesday. Coloured Pineview residents and black Siteview residents clashed on Monday. Police had to form a human shield to prevent the groups from entering each other’s territories.“
You see, there’s your problem. The coloureds live in a place called Pineview, which clearly has a view over the pine trees. But the blacks live in Siteview. Doesn’t seem fair to me at all.

“It’s the Abortion Bill, Mr. President – what do you want to do about it?”

Hartley cited for biting
Tuesday, 20 March 2012 9.45 a.m.
England hooker Dylan Hartley has been cited for allegedly biting the finger of an opponent.
Hartley, who could land a maximum ban of four years, will face a disciplinary hearing following the first-half incident during Saturday’s Six Nations game against Ireland at Twickenham
Six Nations organisers announced the New Zealand-born player had been reported by match commissioner Alberto Recaldini.
It is understood that Hartley is alleged to have bitten the finger of Ireland flanker Stephen Ferris in the 23rd minute.
In a statement, the Six Nations said: “England hooker Dylan Hartley has been cited following the Six Nations match between England and Ireland at Twickenham on Saturday for an alleged biting offence.
“The independent Six Nations citing commissioner for the match, Alberto Recaldini (Italy), cited the England player under IRB Law 10.4(m), “Acts contrary to good sportsmanship”, for allegedly biting the finger of an opponent in the 23rd minute of the first-half.
“The player’s hearing will be held by an independent Six Nations disciplinary committee at a date to be confirmed.”
A biting offence carries a low end entry point of a 12-week suspension, with 18 weeks for mid-range and 24-plus weeks at the top end in the International Rugby Board’s disciplinary sanctions table.
The maximum sanction is a four-year punishment.
If Hartley is banned, he could be ruled out of England’s three-Test tour to South Africa in June.

Frankie returns
According to an article in the Mercury this morning, Sharks CEO Brian van Zyl has confirmed that the union has entered into preliminary discussions with Springbok Frans Steyn regarding a mid-year return to Durban.
Van Zyl told Mike Greenaway that he recently met with Steyn and his agent, Gerrie Swart, to agree preliminary terms in a deal that could see the former Sharks star return to Durban – where he owns property – after the England test series and in time to play in the closing rounds of Super Rugby this year. Steyn has apparently been told by new Bok coach Heyneke Meyer that he should ideally be playing his rugby in South Africa in order to secure his test future, which will probably be in the number 12 jersey.
The fact that Steyn is marrying a Durban girl on the day of the third English test will probably weigh heavily in his decision.
