Chiefs edge Durban scrap
21 Apr 2012
RYAN VREDE reports on the Chiefs’ 18-12 victory over the Sharks at Kings Park.
The Sharks spoke this week about finding the synergy and cohesion that has been lacking for most of their campaign. It didn’t happen for them tonight for a plethora of reasons, most notably their inability to retain the ball through enough phases for them to build line-depleting pressure on their opponents.
When they weren’t knocking the ball on in contact or, at times, under no pressure whatsoever, or overcooking lineouts, their ill-discipline further undermined their cause. Unseasonable humidity complicated handling, and while both sides were guilty of fundamental errors in this regard, the Sharks could have aided their effort by holding the ball through their forwards more often than they were willing to do.
Indeed they bossed possession and territory and when they were direct they looked capable of unlocking the Chiefs’ stingy defence. Instead they often went wide without earning the right to do so first, and were met by organised, physical and intelligent defence.
The Chiefs absorbed early pressure well then struck against the run of play. A multi-phase move eroded the Sharks’ defensive line and they shifted the ball wide to Aaron Cruden who cut through amidst calls of obstruction from Sharks players. A review of that score suggested they may have had a solid argument for a penalty. Cruden converted and later kicked a penalty to give his side breathing room.
Much of the Sharks’ focus had been on nullifying the efficient strike runners in the Chiefs’ pack as a means of diluting Sonny Bill Williams’ potency. But the midfielder rendered himself a relative non-factor with his worst performance in Super Rugby. His offloads failed to find their mark and his hands seemed to have been dipped in industrial strength lubricant before kick-off. However, even with the Chiefs’ most dangerous attacking weapon blunted, the Sharks couldn’t get the precision into their attacking game to capitalise.
Pat Lambie kicked three penalties either side of half-time to draw his side within a point. The Chiefs reverted to a more forward-orientated in the second half while the Sharks retained faith in their sterile method. Their fans would have hoped their replacements would have injected some penetration into their play, exploiting the Chiefs’ travel-weary legs and minds.
And they gradually grew in stature, Lambie kicking a penalty to set up a tense finish. You sensed the Sharks would end stronger but they never had the patience and tactical purpose to steal the victory. They became increasingly frantic as full-time neared and in so doing became easier to repel. Chiefs scrumhalf Augustine Pulu scored an audacious try after the siren sounded, faking to kick for touch then breaking through a gap and dancing down the touchline.
The Sharks needed to win this one to keep their charge for the conference title on track. Dropping home points has often been terminal to teams’ ambitions and you have to think that this one will come back to haunt them.

Backline worries me. Forwards Sharks will be okay.
Still went with my heart – Sharks by 3
21 Apr 2012, 16:09 pm
Go Sharks!!!! we want 3 teams in the play-offs
21 Apr 2012, 16:11 pm
@Getafix(phil72)-5: @Getafix(phil72)-5: Would be great. Sad thing is Waratahs are 3rd on the log but have the same points as team 7.
21 Apr 2012, 16:11 pm
So Zuma has number 4? Go you stud.
21 Apr 2012, 16:16 pm
Nice touch by the Chennai Super Kings players and coach Flemming, as well as the commentators by the way they expressed their condolences to Albie Morkel and Louis Vorster.
21 Apr 2012, 16:16 pm
we,the gods of rugby, can win anywhere,so i will support sonny-bill and his boys this afternoon.go go go chiefs.
21 Apr 2012, 16:17 pm
chiefs will do the stormers a massive favour this afternoon
21 Apr 2012, 16:24 pm
@CAPECRUSADER (seven-times champions)(CAPECRUSADER)-10: Man they will be snapping at our heels if they should win the Chiefs……………..but its the Sharks they’re playing so it doesn’t matter
21 Apr 2012, 16:41 pm
Sharks do us proud
21 Apr 2012, 16:42 pm
This Should be a Cracker!!!
21 Apr 2012, 16:53 pm
Go Chiefs. Go Masag, Go Kahui, Go Sonny Bill.
But most of all go Arizona Taumalolo (jou yster) – leading try scorer
21 Apr 2012, 16:58 pm
Anyone have a stream of the match? Much appreciated
21 Apr 2012, 16:59 pm
Go Sharks!! Play to your potential. Bottomline – play your style, relax and trust your systems!
21 Apr 2012, 16:59 pm
Breyton paulse said sharks have great defense? They have several players in the top 20 for missed tackles and leak a lot of tries.
You miss tackles against the chiefs and they will score tries.
No one mentioned the sharks are going for 5-2 split on the bench, they obviously going to try out muscle chiefs.
Supersport rugby analysis shiit.
21 Apr 2012, 16:59 pm
Top NZ outfit this
Lets see if these last bastion sharkievarkies can stay with these complete athletic rugby footballers..
just for this stevewarren last bastion cry the beloved empire doos.. I reckon Chiefs owe sharkievarkies a right royal rogering up the proverbial black white backside…
21 Apr 2012, 17:01 pm
Sharks should forget about what happened overseas. They have home run now, begin from scratch and forget about running rugby. Just win.
21 Apr 2012, 17:02 pm
SHARKSSSSSSSSSSSSssssss
21 Apr 2012, 17:03 pm
oh and Herr Gonorrhea Gonads as well of course.. who could leave that one eyed nincompoop out the cry the beloved empirical epileptic episode of ineptitude.. with his little batman spoonful of spittle in the wings rubbing him up the wrong way in sharkievarkie style excitement…
21 Apr 2012, 17:13 pm
SBW to score first try and cause a lot of havoc.
Cheifs by 20+
21 Apr 2012, 17:14 pm
Come on Sharks, look after the ball,
21 Apr 2012, 17:17 pm
Someone should tell keegan daniel that he plays number 8 NOT scrumhalf or flyhalf.
21 Apr 2012, 17:19 pm
Chiefs look very dangerous on counter attack, alarm bells ringing for sharks.
21 Apr 2012, 17:19 pm
@NoRugbyGuru_0_(RugbyGuru_0_)-24:
Yes. Why he never make Boks again.
21 Apr 2012, 17:20 pm
Willem Alberts is so overrated
21 Apr 2012, 17:21 pm
Sharks turned the ball over in their chiefs 22, one minute later the chiefs have lineout in sharks 22.
Chiefs attack cannot be underestimated.
21 Apr 2012, 17:23 pm
floodgates second half
21 Apr 2012, 17:24 pm
Any ideas out there why the stomping wasn’t give a white card?
21 Apr 2012, 17:24 pm
Alberts doesn’t look fit, sharks using him a lot as ball carrier which isn’t helping either (fitness result in him missing tackles).
That’s what happens when you pick lightweights like daniels, botes and bresler in starting eight.
21 Apr 2012, 17:26 pm
Boetes always a class act..
21 Apr 2012, 17:28 pm
Poor defence
21 Apr 2012, 17:28 pm
Natal very weak in lock department
waiting to see that 138kgs tighthead run at Daniel!
21 Apr 2012, 17:28 pm
Oh dear
21 Apr 2012, 17:28 pm
Botes good but you cannot play him with daniels in same loose trio.
Chiefs scrumhalf missed the gameplan session on wednesday, he looks lost
21 Apr 2012, 17:29 pm
Well actually obstruction
21 Apr 2012, 17:30 pm
In your face Sonny
21 Apr 2012, 17:32 pm
Sharks look tired.
Jet lag + lack of fitness + second half against chiefs = catastrophe
21 Apr 2012, 17:32 pm
Sharks need a new defence coach
21 Apr 2012, 17:32 pm
30.Bottomline – Should have been a yellow card not white, but then a Kiwi ref will never give a Kiwi player a yellow – it’s just not fair by their rules
21 Apr 2012, 17:34 pm
Sharks need a coach…period.
21 Apr 2012, 17:34 pm
they need a new game plan
21 Apr 2012, 17:35 pm
Chiefs playing very cynical rugby
21 Apr 2012, 17:36 pm
Is Bismarck really the best 2 in SA? Can’t find his jumper on attacking line out, throws 3 or 7 points away!
21 Apr 2012, 17:36 pm
Sonny is a poephol.
21 Apr 2012, 17:38 pm
Sharks looking tired and no intensity
21 Apr 2012, 17:38 pm
What is wrong with Viljoen?
21 Apr 2012, 17:38 pm
that’s what happens when you string a bunch of misfit f’ng mercenaries together and try turn them into a cohesive team, they turn out like a bunch of disjointed morons playing for money and for themselves instead of for the cohesive whole.
21 Apr 2012, 17:39 pm
Chiefs still in 2nd gear, they will up the tempo in the 2nd half when there’s tired legs.
21 Apr 2012, 17:39 pm
The Sharks look clueless!! Or is that coachless??
21 Apr 2012, 17:40 pm
The backs seems to have no passing skils!!!
21 Apr 2012, 17:42 pm
Not the players. It is the coaching.
21 Apr 2012, 17:45 pm
Lambie regards himself as the new Henry Honibal, except he can’t break the line without spiling the ball
21 Apr 2012, 17:47 pm
Slow game. Come on Sharks.
21 Apr 2012, 17:47 pm
Jannie Du Plessis is the k@kkest prop in the world. Can’t tackle, can’t take a ball up and can’t a fark scrum. How he’s a Bok is beyond me.
21 Apr 2012, 17:47 pm
15 handling errors so far.
21 Apr 2012, 17:48 pm
A lot of handling errors, what happened to those bicycle gloves players used couple of years ago?
21 Apr 2012, 17:48 pm
HG where are you? Sharks looking real k@k
21 Apr 2012, 17:48 pm
Sharks’ passing is pathetic today.
21 Apr 2012, 17:49 pm
Kaak handling
21 Apr 2012, 17:50 pm
Mcleod’s useless
21 Apr 2012, 17:50 pm
@ willie,
Should I remind you of your predictions this week
21 Apr 2012, 17:50 pm
I think the Sharks could still turn it around in the second half. Let’s see if they’re can change
21 Apr 2012, 17:51 pm
51@bottomline… Its weird we playing the game but we dont look coached.
21 Apr 2012, 17:52 pm
Shurrup all you WP brokebacks
21 Apr 2012, 17:52 pm
@NoRugbyGuru_0_(RugbyGuru_0_)-63: LOL, yep my bru has taken a pounding!!
21 Apr 2012, 17:53 pm
Jannie Dup “we can put big score on them”
He’s obviously referring to handling errors
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
21 Apr 2012, 17:53 pm
Chiefs are not playing that well, Sharks just playing worse.
Hopefully 2nd half will be better.
21 Apr 2012, 17:54 pm
Comedy of mass proportion !! Lucky the half time hooter sounded …lol
21 Apr 2012, 17:54 pm
Bunch of Dove deodorant wearing whatsits
21 Apr 2012, 17:54 pm
OMG JDP just said they have the edge in the scrums and that if they cut out the silly knock ons they can put a big score on the Chiefs – in the half time interview. Sorry Jannie but your head is being shoved straight through your *** in the scrums and you’re behind on the scoreboard hahahahahahaha! What a chop!
21 Apr 2012, 17:55 pm
Only positive in this game is Chiefs no8 otherwise useless including amateur commentary.
21 Apr 2012, 17:55 pm
I guess being asked to play 9 games in a row is telling today.
They clearly are not playing at 100% – no energy or commitment.
Viljoen, in particular, is having a terrible game and Whitehead and McLeod are not far behind.
No surprises here, the Sharks are playing to their consistent form – *****.
21 Apr 2012, 17:56 pm
JPP is clearly not skilled enough to be a centre. No rugby brain and hands aren’t up to it either.
21 Apr 2012, 17:56 pm
Oh ja, and the Chiefs’ try was lucky.
21 Apr 2012, 17:56 pm
Daniel and Botes can’t feature in the same line up, it’s too obvious
21 Apr 2012, 17:56 pm
@Pee Wee(Pee Wee)-72: Sharks scrum is actually doing well.
21 Apr 2012, 17:57 pm
Good to see Breyton again. One of my all time favorite players.
21 Apr 2012, 17:57 pm
Botes has been invisible.
21 Apr 2012, 17:58 pm
Hows this stat – Ludik has never scored a try in Super rugby.
If you have watched the movie Moneyball, then you will no doubt be shaking your head in dismay that this guy gets to start over other more attacking threats.
21 Apr 2012, 17:59 pm
lucky to have 3 points at the break, undeserved maybe lady luck bales them out their woefully inept lethargy today.
And some SharkieVarkie poefta were telling all and sundry that Sharks were the automatic choice for best saffa franchise in the conference this year..
Yeah sing us another SharkieVarkie f’ng lullaby Woeful Woesie Spurt and Horrible Guppyuppie higgledy giggle squirm.
21 Apr 2012, 18:00 pm
@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-81: I had high expectations of him when he was at the Lions. He just never seemed to kick on from there.
21 Apr 2012, 18:00 pm
Who’s the Chiefs scrummie? He’s piss poor LOL!
21 Apr 2012, 18:00 pm
@Hondo(Hondo)-77: Botes looks a lot more effective then Daniel actually. Keegan probably only in, because he is captain. The Sharks should probably have co-captains, because its made someone undroppable, who should be dropped from time to time.
21 Apr 2012, 18:00 pm
Bring back Ruan and kick out useless Mcleod, buy Sias Ebersohn and play him at 10. Frans Steyn and Whitehead or Jordaan centres, JPP and Mvovo wings and Patricio at fullback.
And a new coach of course
21 Apr 2012, 18:01 pm
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-82: you are making a fool of yourself old man. SADF yellow belly.
21 Apr 2012, 18:01 pm
@Woody, botes is kak today, bring on marcel!
21 Apr 2012, 18:02 pm
Coetzee on
21 Apr 2012, 18:03 pm
@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-76:
Unlucky that Cruden made JPP look like a tjop?Both sides battling with slippery ball,SBW would probably have caused far more havoc had he hung onto any of those one-handed passes.
21 Apr 2012, 18:03 pm
@HongKongSlong(HongKongSlong)-75:
He keeps hugging the Chiefs, it’s an embarrassment (instead of tackling)
Pay attention to his defence at the try, Mvovo also no where to be seen on a cover defence despite the Chiefs were clearly swinging it wide to the their left!
21 Apr 2012, 18:04 pm
immediately Coetsee makes a difference the only SharkieVarkie worthy of a Bok call up so far is Marcel Coetsee all the other wannabes are toast.
21 Apr 2012, 18:05 pm
Come on Sharkies!
Play back to your forwards.
You can’t out-muscle them out wide.
We need you to take these guys
21 Apr 2012, 18:06 pm
Mind your freaking mouth Sonny! Useless
21 Apr 2012, 18:06 pm
Sonny Bill coughs up a certain try
21 Apr 2012, 18:07 pm
Good grief!! This game is flat!! Even the crowd is falling asleep!
21 Apr 2012, 18:09 pm
Nice going number 3.
21 Apr 2012, 18:09 pm
@Markel77(Markel77)-86:
Makes a good sense
21 Apr 2012, 18:11 pm
No Albert and Jannie?
it looks better actually
21 Apr 2012, 18:11 pm
Chiefs should take that glory sonny off. He is useless
21 Apr 2012, 18:11 pm
only peanut brained fakface is this poefta Woesiesquirt who was so sure SharkieVarkie f’ng wannabes were automatic top rated saffa outfit this year.. Keep singing that lullaby and perhaps lady luck bales you out this miserable experience of Sharks hopeless ineptitude on their home turf.
21 Apr 2012, 18:11 pm
Nice Lambie
21 Apr 2012, 18:12 pm
When is HM announcing the names of the Sharks and Bulls players for his second planning camp? Hope JdP is not on the list. He got creamed at scrum time and didn’t add anything else to the game, except a stupid halftime interview.
21 Apr 2012, 18:13 pm
Just saw HG in the crowd. Going bananas.
He looks fed up.
21 Apr 2012, 18:14 pm
At last some spark!!!
21 Apr 2012, 18:14 pm
Hande Viljoen, hande

21 Apr 2012, 18:15 pm
If you dont get all the handling errors you have never experienced Dbn humidity.
21 Apr 2012, 18:16 pm
Who is that super angry Sharks fan that somehow manages to get on tv every home game?
21 Apr 2012, 18:18 pm
Coetzee is a tackles machine!
21 Apr 2012, 18:19 pm
@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-111: HG
21 Apr 2012, 18:19 pm
Great kick Lambie,sharks should have taken that 1st penalty and kicked for posts,would have been in the lead by now.Overconfidence in these conditions only leads to heartbreak.
21 Apr 2012, 18:20 pm
Bismarck you plank!!! Pass and it was danger for the Chiefs!!
21 Apr 2012, 18:21 pm
@Kleuter(Kleuter)-113:
Looks like he’s about to bust his poopstring.
21 Apr 2012, 18:22 pm
@skyewalker(skyewalker)-116: He is living on the edge!
21 Apr 2012, 18:23 pm
Game becoming a snooze fest now
21 Apr 2012, 18:23 pm
Told you guys…Chiefs are very short on brains.
21 Apr 2012, 18:23 pm
Not one of these two teams deserves to win.
K@k game.
21 Apr 2012, 18:25 pm
Nice Lambie.
21 Apr 2012, 18:26 pm
That freak should red carded
21 Apr 2012, 18:26 pm
111@WS… He has been going to games for years, even when we were still going. Lot of the companys have season tickets and give to staff and clients,normally have a tent with free grub and booze after game.
21 Apr 2012, 18:26 pm
Eina
21 Apr 2012, 18:27 pm
Go off you dirty freak
21 Apr 2012, 18:28 pm
A vicious no binding high tackle, and no Yellow?
21 Apr 2012, 18:28 pm
Filthy fecker !!!!!! Shocking calls from ref.
21 Apr 2012, 18:29 pm
@Kleuter(Kleuter)-122: For what? For a head collision?
21 Apr 2012, 18:29 pm
They playing at Newlands?… Nice one.
21 Apr 2012, 18:30 pm
Take that!
21 Apr 2012, 18:31 pm
@Pee Wee(Pee Wee)-128: No arms. If it was Schalk or Butch, red for sure.
He will be cited.
21 Apr 2012, 18:32 pm
This ref and touch judge are hondk@k.
21 Apr 2012, 18:34 pm
@Kleuter(Kleuter)-131: Look again, he actually had his arms out. Unfortunately his head made contact first.
21 Apr 2012, 18:34 pm
Ja-nee….2 instances where the jarpies would’ve been carded by the “international” ref, but blood is thicker than water hey
21 Apr 2012, 18:35 pm
Chiefs defend well, there’s a need to bring on some mass ballast in Deysel and Burden for Daniel and Botes to break them up front
21 Apr 2012, 18:36 pm
Jeepers, let’s hope the Bulls and Brumbies serve up better rugby!!!
21 Apr 2012, 18:36 pm
Chiefs look tired. Game looks tired
21 Apr 2012, 18:39 pm
Michalak will stuff this up.
Wait and see
21 Apr 2012, 18:39 pm
“Very talented footballer”… yeah Bob, keep on trucking.
21 Apr 2012, 18:40 pm
Those PIs lack handling and ball control skills, seemed their stock in trade for the Kiwis teams is their viciousness and intimidating presence/
21 Apr 2012, 18:41 pm
Wanted to say what is the sense in bringing on subs wit 9 minutes to go but wow, Burden and Michalak made an impact, upping the tempo nicely!!
21 Apr 2012, 18:42 pm
Chiefs should run at sharks 10 and 12 channel.
Weak defence there now.
21 Apr 2012, 18:43 pm
One thing is clear to me after observing this match,Sharks will not enjoy any kind of homefield advantage in forth coming matches ’cause sweaty humid conditions at the shark tank completely levels the playing field.Very frustrating the number of handling errors.Bob says they used to practice in the mornings with a wet ball dipped in a tank of water but it sure does not seem to help sharks much.
21 Apr 2012, 18:44 pm
Horrible horrible game, something needs to be fixed.
21 Apr 2012, 18:44 pm
@Pee Wee(Pee Wee)-137:
I am tired of watching…bring on the Bulls!
21 Apr 2012, 18:44 pm
Michalak throws the ball game, sharks then concede penalty.
French flair my arse, more like french fries
21 Apr 2012, 18:47 pm
Shocking
21 Apr 2012, 18:47 pm
BOSMAN IS KAK
SHARKS ARE KAK
PLUMTREE OUT
21 Apr 2012, 18:47 pm
Meyer Tosman. Aiy.
21 Apr 2012, 18:47 pm
Bosman is not the most popular player in durbs
21 Apr 2012, 18:47 pm
Time running out indeed.
21 Apr 2012, 18:47 pm
Terrible pass byBosman
21 Apr 2012, 18:47 pm
BOSMAN IS KAK
21 Apr 2012, 18:48 pm
If we should somehow win this I will feel relief not joy.
21 Apr 2012, 18:48 pm
This a stating the obvious, a very good defensive game. Yes handling errors, but that comes from good D. Also, the Masaga attempted tackle was wreckless.
21 Apr 2012, 18:48 pm
WHAT POINT IS A LOSING BONUS POINT TO THE SHARKS? THEIR SEASON IS NOW OVER.
PLUMTREE OUT.
21 Apr 2012, 18:48 pm
Guppy rubbish!!!!
21 Apr 2012, 18:48 pm
Heartbreak for sharkies!
21 Apr 2012, 18:48 pm
A great tackle by JP, that’s why they select him for the Boks
21 Apr 2012, 18:48 pm
Eish what a shocker of a game, well done Chiefs.
21 Apr 2012, 18:48 pm
Chiefs too cocky………..Sharks ummm
21 Apr 2012, 18:49 pm
Not a good game.
21 Apr 2012, 18:49 pm
heartbreak hotel….
21 Apr 2012, 18:49 pm
LOL bonus point
21 Apr 2012, 18:49 pm
Looks like the sharks bubble has burst lol.
On a serious note the sharks looked tired at the end there.
21 Apr 2012, 18:50 pm
@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-156:
Lucky to get that bp…could have been far more embarrasing.
21 Apr 2012, 18:50 pm
Sorry Sharks. But freak you! Screwed my superbru.
21 Apr 2012, 18:50 pm
Skop will now be unstoppable
21 Apr 2012, 18:51 pm
Hard luck Sharks. But there were just too many handling errors and lack of concentration at crucial times. Good sides turn those into points.
21 Apr 2012, 18:52 pm
Rudolf strauli, plumtree, keegan daniels, jannie Dup, michalak, ludick and bosman don’t add any value to the sharks.
~end of story~
21 Apr 2012, 18:52 pm
@Kleuter(Kleuter)-167:
Farked my bru up as well, i was heading for a fullhouse.
21 Apr 2012, 18:53 pm
so much for the potential 9 pts the sharks were going to pocket including their bye…
21 Apr 2012, 18:55 pm
Chiefs were bad, guppies were abyssmal. HG come get it you gutless git.
21 Apr 2012, 18:57 pm
lucky f’ng guppyuppies saved a bonus point, little scrummy was so surprised he made the try line he didn’t think to run around nearer to posts and then SharkieVarkie dream merchants wouldn’t have been gifted that BP
Daniel is a poor Kak captain, problem at SharkieVarkie country ain’t so much the coach its this fak’d up attitude of entitlement that they think they can buy their way to success.
Until they change that mercenary fak’d up attitude they never gonna amount to much.., far too much kop toe f’ng arrogance emanating from out that last bastion of soutie money makes the world go round SharkieVarkie tank.

@Slappes(Slappes)-173:
Poor HG must be heartbroken.
A weekend from hell, starting with the Stormers victory.
Wonder if we will ever see him again.
21 Apr 2012, 18:58 pm
Disappointing. The Chiefs converted their opportunities better than the Sharks,
They could have done us a big favour here.
Pity. i picked the Sharks on the ‘Bru.

Where that proud prediction by HG how many points SharkieVarkie poeftas were gonna claim from their tour including their first games back home?

Bottomline, you can’t win with that many errors and lack of concentration.

21 Apr 2012, 19:04 pm
Well done Chiefs! This was really a game I believe the Sharks should have won. A pity as this Chiefs side is looking really good. Winning and yet not playing well. Going to be hard beating them in New Zealand.
Sorry to the Sharks fans, the team did well. I’m really impressed with Tim Whitehead. This guy is playing some good rugby… Mcloud continuous to disappoint and Lambie is showing some good signs.

Sorry Sharks.
There’s always next week. You can try again then.
This was actually not a high quality match. Some serious big hits though.

21 Apr 2012, 19:34 pm
Brian van Zyl is the Sharks biggest problem, he keeps choosing ex Sharkies as coaches instead of the best. Then he insists that larney’s in boxes are better supporters then the man in the street and won’t move to the better stadium next door. The problem is that the players can’t hear or react to the doosies a km away

22 Apr 2012, 00:31 am
I will say this again…..each and every time Hugh reece-edwards has got himself involved at the Shark tank this team takes a step backwards…….just this round he seems to have them in reverse much quicker.I draw no great enthusiasm from this coaching staff….especially the backline coach/es.
22 Apr 2012, 08:40 am
It’s the dew, I tell you it’s the dew, that’s why we can’t win, we can’t catch the ball because of all the dew, how can we play rugby in these conditions, I tell you it’s the dews fault.

Big Cleanout for Plumtree after this campaign
22 Apr 2012, 10:17 am
Too many fumbles and dropped catches to get go forward ball. Without the basics there is no chance to move forward as a unit. As per usual Burden and Bothes made all the difference when they took the field. The Sharks lost momentum when Freddie took over at scrummie. Lambie has definite X factor qualities but is being coached by people that cannot build his obvious talent to the next level. Plumtree is still making awful choices with his run on squad. Bismark is not better than Burden. Mtembu should be in the senior squad. The NRU are inefficient and unproductive with regards to the wellbeing of the senior squad. The blind leading the moronic.

@sharks_lover(sharks_lover)-245:
Sharklover is it usually humid like that where it affects players handling as bad as we saw in yesterdays game?
22 Apr 2012, 12:02 pm
Hi Sharky. Its actually just a very few Stormer supporters that are mongwops, its just that they continually spew their toxins that make it seem like a lot. The other Stormers dont enjoy their chit. HG actually was friendly to Stormers when he started here then decided to start having some fun with them, now he seems to relish pushing their buttons, funny thing is I think he just does it for the fun of it no insidiousness involved, can you imagine if he had been here when the chit was hitting the fan.
22 Apr 2012, 12:13 pm
@greatest13gerber(greatest13gerber)-235: Plumtree should be the 1st to be cleaned out after this season along with Bashford and Reece-Edward
22 Apr 2012, 12:21 pm
251@Shaksgirl…. Think you are right, some have been saying this for a while, I am only coming round to agreeing with it now.
22 Apr 2012, 12:23 pm
@Te Rangatira(Te Rangatira)-249: Have you been to Durban during this season? It was 30 degrees in Durban last night! But that shouldn’t excuse the poor handling from the Sharks! They live and train in those conditions!!!! only excuse isthat they had just come back from NZ
Really poor! I am so disapointed I don’t know what to say.
Plumtree and Co do the honorable thing and resign!
22 Apr 2012, 12:27 pm
@Treehugger(Treehugger)-252: I have always been a fan of Plums but this year is one season of mediocrity too much!!! Bashford should have stuck to cricket because our backline under him has gone no where! and as to what Hugh Reece edwards is there for other than to earn enough money to keep his child at Kearsney, I really don’t know!
The Sharks need a thorough clean out at managerial level! Mallet is available get him to come to the Sharks! The players look rudderless and disinterested they look like they know that their coach is out of ideas and are just going through the motions in a headless chicken kind of way!
22 Apr 2012, 12:47 pm
@Sharksgirl(Sharksgirl)-253:
No never been there nor SA for that matter. The Chiefs handling was poor also, so thought conditions may have played a part. I can understand your disappointment being a Blues supporter myself …..maybe Sharks should sack Plum like Blues will get rid of Lam. Not good for us Aucklanders when we have the biggest union in Nz
22 Apr 2012, 12:57 pm
@Treehugger(Treehugger)-252: @Sharksgirl(Sharksgirl)-254:
Hi Ladies! The Sharks did show some positive progress though. I thought Lambie played well and so did Whitehead. The tackling was better too. I still think they will get gradually better. I have to agree that Plum has had his chance and hasn’t taken it. Look what White has done to the Brumbies in such a short time.
22 Apr 2012, 13:00 pm
@Sharksgirl… Agree… Lol he must be earning a chitload to send his so to Kearsey
Don’t think Mallet would want to coach a local side. Think he would prefer an International side.
This is going to sound horrible for the Lions supporters but if they unfortunately do get relegated cos of the Kings coming in there coach might be available and he cant be worse than what we have now.
Ideally I wouldn’t mind Jake white
look how the Brumbies have improved in such a short time.
22 Apr 2012, 13:02 pm
@Billy … Snap about Jake white
22 Apr 2012, 13:08 pm
@Te Rangatira(Te Rangatira)-255: Oh you are a Blues supporters so we can honestly comisserate with each other
Te Rangatira the Chiefs certainly could use that excuse, Durban at this time is really hot and worst of all really humid! their handling was terrible but the conditions were certainly not conducive to great handling. However, this is the conditions the Sharks train in so what is their excuse?! Other than the fact that they were just returning from NZ? My son played in Durban just before the match and these boy’s handling was far better than our Sharks 
I am certainly hoping that our coaches will be sent packing after this dismal season (actually 3) but I think your Union is far more intelligent than ours so not so sure they see that there is a problem, after all you are dealing with a union that hired Straueli after Kamp Staaldraad
anyway all the best to you and your team for the remainder of this nightmare season!

And the players seem rudderless, and the decisions on field are poor! No captain and no coaches doesn’t augur well for my team sadly
@Treehugger(Treehugger)-257: Yep you may be right, Mallet I don’t think would come to coach a local team. But a girl can dream
Of course my greates dream is now that Ewen McKenzie would come to the Sharks yeah but at this stage I would accept anyone with a novel idea.
22 Apr 2012, 13:16 pm

Ah ha oh deary deary me.. poor HG and that little runtcunt spoonful of spiteful spittle Woesie Spurt they been indoctrinated to hate WP ALL due to the anti Sharkievarkie agenda I brought to this here little gathering of genial gentle be nice to the sharkievarkie guppyuppie poefta mercenary trade coalition..

Sharkievarkies must just simply wipe the sleep from their overrated eyes and realize their team is playing KAK rugby.. its not THAT difficult to do.. Sharkievarkie poeftas were gonna have to face this reality either sooner or later sometime..
Its been coming to the realization stakes for awhile already..
you can’t simply chuck money at the problem any time you like and buy in old has been mercenaries from all over the country or the globe and reckon you gonna become the Chelsea of SA rugby
The head honcho’s at the great professional club called the Black/White dysfunctional dyslexic delinquent delegation have got to the point where professional mercenary trading has eventually caught up to them
It comes with the breeding you see.. To grow your own bananas are far more productive toward a healthy and flourishing crop than to go over the border and buy truck loads of the stuff when they are already over ripe and rotting.. or else they still way too green. That’s the easiest way to get diarrhoea or running bowels by gorging yourself on over ripe or too green bananas out of season.
22 Apr 2012, 13:38 pm
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-265: please point me toward those fans that think the Sharks are playing good rugby? Please all I see is most of us crying because we see the type of rugby they are playing. But you see, I don’t think that our majour problem lies with our players, except ofcourse for Marius Joubert and Bosman. Alberts has been amazing, Viljoen is in his first season with Sharks and doing well can only get better and Whitehead is really impressing so I don’t think they are either over/under ripe bananas! Our problem lies with our DOR and Coaching staff!!!!! Please if you have a solution please send a memo to Van Zyl, and if you solve that problem for us, I would be gladly kiss your hipheluted *** for the remainder of the season

22 Apr 2012, 13:50 pm
@Sharksgirl(Sharksgirl)-267: Hiyas M , you well? how is hubby and the kids doing?? we aint spoken in like forever , will give you a call sometime

SL I have never trashed the Sharks and I feel really strongly for them! and as you know I have always put my money where my mouth is, up until this season I had only missed two Sharks home games, and that was because I was overseas, however, to be honest this season I am starting to lose the faith a bit! Yesterday wasthe first time that I actually didn’t go to the stadium with no valid reason! Our head coach was good but has not only run out of ideas but has lost the plot, and the other two have always been mediocre to less than poor! We have the players (exclude MJ and Bosman), lets invest in proper back line/attacking coach, defence coach and head coach (as Sports Psychologist) and a head coach that can actually come up with a new and varied game plan!
22 Apr 2012, 13:59 pm

22 Apr 2012, 14:02 pm
@Sharksgirl(Sharksgirl)-266:
well that is so much nicer of a beautiful complimentary comment from a sweet banana girl than all your highfalutin sour banana boytjies put together. So when it comes from a real lady then the pleasantries become true and honest and not insincere like those that wish the worst
Sharks have been riding on the wrong premise for some time.. they think they can buy success.. they think money can fix anything and everything.. well it can’t..
Van Zyl and Streauli got to realize if you wanna build a real strong winning culture then it has to come from within.. Meyer did it at Bulls for awhile with his family style business model.. and now Coetsee is deriving a certain amount of success at Stormers since he got the divisive influence of Rassie out the way and building with a cohesive program of molding a strong knit system with the youngsters together with his couple of stalwart cornerstones
Of course when we get our cappy back then it could all go balls to the wall back to the drawing board again.. a strong and clear sighted leader is pretty much a necessity and seems that for the moment Sharks are flailing without one.
Streauli is bad for business he’s been bad for a very long time.. only Sharks managed to circumvent that problem in spite of it in the past.. now its staring them in the face and they gonna have to do something about it.. Get him out because between Streauli and Plumtree and your assistants I dunno where the cancer is creeping in there but it usually ain’t too far from the top where the root cause of all the consternation emanates from.
22 Apr 2012, 14:02 pm
@ufo(ufo)-272: @sharks_lover(sharks_lover)-271:
And that is what people do not understand. They think it is okay to pick in-form youngsters who perform well in established S15 teams and that will be carried forward to the test arena.
That is what HM is thinking when he is considering a guy like Matfield.
Test rugby is a step up from S15. You need a few very experienced guys on the field and then bring the younger players in phase by phase; 2 now, 2 for 4Nations, 2 for EOYT, and another 2 beginning next year, and so on.
After 15 tests or so you have the team you want, you have players settled in and confident.
22 Apr 2012, 14:04 pm
When the Sharks lose Joel Skopshyte is in his element.
He is far happier banging on and on like a loquacious parrot after a Sharks loss than you see him after a Stormers win.
Says a great deal about the man. In other words, a twat of the highest order.
Thankfully we have Heaven’s Game to put him firmly back in his box each week.
22 Apr 2012, 14:04 pm
@Sharksgirl(Sharksgirl)-273: good to hear you are all well, and al is great with K thanks for asking,
Yeah i think there is a lot of stubborn management issues at the momment that wont go away unless adressed
For me the season is about ruined anyhows , and i would say clean the room of the problem children and start afresh, yes we wont be great next season because of it but thats the healing process thats needed
22 Apr 2012, 14:08 pm
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-275: what the fook are you talking about? Chadwick, Burden, Cooper, Hadebe, Bresler, Hargreaves, Coetzee, Lambie – these youngsters are ALL from Natal. Stop spouting your kak.
22 Apr 2012, 14:08 pm
Smit did not play for Sharks through the almost the entire 2011 campaign..Terblanche was captain and Terblanche did far better without Smit in the team than with him in it…
Right now Sharks have a problem in that Bismark and brother Jannie are actually not dyed in the wool Sharkievarkie brother bonding agents.. they are ex Free State rogue mercenaries who came over the mountain for MONEY.. same as Ruan and Frans, and Viljoen and Alberts and quite a few others did… so you SEE where money is the founding format for creating a strong faction it becomes the root of all evil.. it won’t EVER replace true deep seated honest integral home grown commitment and desire.. EVER.!!
22 Apr 2012, 14:11 pm

22 Apr 2012, 14:11 pm
@ufo(ufo)-272: agreed mate, by the way just know my rant re stormers supporters are not aimed at the likes of you, stormersboy(mygoodfriend) pissant and a FEW OTHERS TO NAME A FEW
what was sad to see yesterday where i sat and watched the game was the amount of chiefs supporters, all of whom were white and stormer supporters, some even proudly wearing chiefs jerseys, ( so not only the coloured folk in the cape do this as they are sometimes accused of)
Not they i truelly care as one can support whom they wish to, but these same people will cry foul when other south africans support over seas teams instead of them
Thus my choice to from now on never support the WP or Stormers, i lived in PTA for many years and lemme tell you, you will have to search hard to find a local there support against their own countrymen,
Anyhows just my view,
22 Apr 2012, 14:12 pm
Ag here we go with this “mercenary” hoary old chestnut.
Professional era boet, players come and go. Like Habana, Liebenburg, Vermeulen, Grant etc at the Stormers.
Once again, you are talking complete twaddle.
22 Apr 2012, 14:12 pm
@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-279: Woody, that clown old man trapped with a kids brain has no idea to spout anything but rubbish
22 Apr 2012, 14:13 pm
Strange how HG isnt around.
Talks a big game, yet delivers piss all.
I have to let you all in on a little secret here. HG went missing for about a week after the Hurricanes wiping of the sharks.
Is it a pattern or coincidence?

Hell if Joel Skopshyte is including Kolisi as a Stormer product then we can claim Mvovo, JP Pietersen, Kankowski, Ndungane etc.
Moral: notice the hypocrisy of skopshyte.
22 Apr 2012, 14:18 pm
@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-279: its these kind of cn’ts that are the worst specimen of human being anywhere on the planet.. the toff nosed anglicized piece of snooty nosed silver spoon fed punks of the world are the pitiful worst breed of human you can find.. and funny enough you find a shitload of these piece of trash colony hopping pom pom punks in banana country.. I wonder why.?? They come with the f’ng territory.. the true snot nosed pompous pommie arsecreep is the worst sniveling little snake you could ever hope to encounter anywhere you wanna go.
22 Apr 2012, 14:18 pm
Oh ja don’t forget the Shadow ‘mercenary’ down in the Cape. More hypocrisy…

22 Apr 2012, 14:21 pm
@sharks_lover(sharks_lover)-282: more f’ng two faced ‘peace loving’ coalitions between the arse licking warring factions
You couldn’t find bigger f’ng two faced liars if you had to trip over a rattle snake in the street.
22 Apr 2012, 14:22 pm
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-289: you have called me all those names a thousand times before. Don’t you have anything fresh for today? Your repetitive posts are sooooo extremely boring.
First it was Jake White, then John Smit, then Schalk Burger that drew your ire, now it is the Sharks team. After reading your posts on this forum for a few years, it is plain you are just a bitter old suurgat man who just needs something to complain about. A sad sack case if I ever saw one.
22 Apr 2012, 14:22 pm
@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-290: i have also since that time asked him to come tell me this **** to my face as he knows what i look like and where i work
He musnt come with a little hey hello, he wont however , he is made from slime, he gets his thrills from insulting people from behind a monitor online
prolly still lives in a basement somewhere
22 Apr 2012, 14:23 pm
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-294: hey trailor trash go sober up ffs
22 Apr 2012, 14:24 pm
@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-295: actually boet we shouldnt give this inbred fetus any more attention
22 Apr 2012, 14:26 pm
@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-295: As for the Sharks?? i am of the opinion they should have maintained Smitties services and brought him in as forwards coach
Also bring in a defence coach as well as a sports psycologist, get the players minds right, we all know they are good players , but they are not playing as a unit etc
22 Apr 2012, 14:28 pm
Anyway I’m out for a bite. I will leave skopshyte to froth and rage and swear like a sailor and insult as is his usual way.
The Sharks have earned his ire, he will flog that dead horse until the cows come home, just like he flogged Jake White, John Smit, Schalk Burger and FDP to death and then some.
The resident delinquent child. Hey ho.
22 Apr 2012, 14:30 pm
@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-300: cheers i am out too
22 Apr 2012, 14:33 pm
@sharks_lover(sharks_lover)-296: You called me on the phone one day to make amends.. or you gonna be denying that too…
take you little spoonful of pompous spittle and shove that sh’t as far as you like where such sharkshit actually belongs… I got no time for two faced duplicitous punk eyed sniveling pompous snot nosed pom poms…
else why not go with the goody two shoes principles of the peace loving coalitions they insincerely try and spew across these two faced shape shifting boards..
22 Apr 2012, 14:33 pm
@sharks_lover(sharks_lover)-299: Do you realise that the Sharks are the only union in SR without a defence coach! and it shows doesn’t it!
22 Apr 2012, 14:34 pm
@sharks_lover(sharks_lover)-282:
yeah bud… i don’t sweat the small stuff and know where you were coming from… so took no offense at your comments at all…
i’ve always backed other the south african teams when the play foreign opposition so i simply don’t understand the mentality of people who feel they have to back the ‘other guys’…
but have also realized quite a long time back that their choices define them… i won’t let them define me… and won’t let their choices affect my own choices…
thing is bud… as stormersboy said a few weeks back… haters be a-hatin’… that’s just what they do… they can’t help themselves… you can’t rationalize or reason with them so don’t let them suck your positive energy by trying to… i just let them get on with it… i’m not going to take their bitterness or mean-spiritedness aboard and let them darken my soul…
they want to get just such a rise out of you… but my psyche is teflon coated and their hate has no long-term effect on me… no ways will i allow them any space in my life…
but i do understand your feelings over this issue and have no problem with it… i watch rugby because i love the game and love wp/stormers… the hater’s don’t even make it into my equation… they are really irrelevant…
but it is rather disturbing to see how fans of the winning teams come online to gloat and insult the fans of the losing team… it’s as if they have personally achieved something… just shows you how little substance they have in their lives…
most of the hatred on this site is… IMO… caused by the ungracious ‘winning fans’ who come and insult the (naturally) upset and angry losing fans…
a little more grace in victory would go a long way…
but of course that’s not what the haters want… because they thrive on the hating…
go figure…
22 Apr 2012, 14:36 pm
@ufo(ufo)-304: Post of the century. Big up.
Especially liked this bit:

Especially liked the teflon bit. Great post.
22 Apr 2012, 14:39 pm
Describes skopshyte, skyewalker and Pee Wee to a tee. The gloating trio. Unfortunately, they are all Stormers fans so I guess that’s why we have people like Heaven’s Game reacting to them and it all becomes one big massive cycle of bitterness.
Funny that the Bulls fans aren’t really involved though. They just quietly get on with the rugby.
22 Apr 2012, 14:40 pm

who’s losing and who’s ‘winning’ here huh.. and who be your ‘haters’ ?
do you have ANY idea between a winner and a loser.. and a lover or a hater?
I doubt it MUCH
You wouldn’t know a loser from a winner from a hater from a peace lover if you had to trip over one or share a beer with one.. because it is CLEAR as goddamn day.. you dunno who the hell you affiliate your association of who or what either a ‘lover’ or a ‘hater’ IS…
One day you may find out..

and your so called noble type sentiments might wash with those who place smileys at the end of their posts to hide the real sentiments they hold inside.. but it don’t fool me.. one little itsy weeny bitty.. because I KNOW when I meet true honest integrity and decency and when I don’t…
So stop fooling yourself and all else who wanna pretend otherwise … honesty, integrity, humility, and decency, are traits that don’t come willy nilly easy peasy bullshit baffles brains on a rugby blog… you go a LONG way to find the true humane peace lovers of the world .. and I guarantee you.. that its unlikely you find ANY of such true sterling REAL honest integrity ANYWHERE around here !

22 Apr 2012, 15:31 pm
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-612: So then stick to athletics or tennis or basketball or whatever tickles your fancy. Stop wasting your energy on the talentless, unathletic poor rugby players.
Go join a basketball blog or tennis blog or athletics blog and swear at the people there. See what happens. They, as supporters of the graceful, talented sport codes will likely not take kind to some oke from the fairest Cape that wants to tell everyone else to think exactly like him and if not, swear them in a language most people do not recognize as a language at all, but rather as bribberish constructed by a lonely man deprived of the greatest gift of all – that is LOVE.
22 Apr 2012, 15:37 pm
I don’t hate other SA teams,but in this super 15 system i will only support teams that can further the Stormers quest of winning the title.
22 Apr 2012, 15:42 pm
@ufo(ufo)-304:
Very well written! We all the know the feeling when our team loses – not a nice feeling either. But that is what sport is all about. It teaches us to be humble when winning and gracious in defeat.
As you said! We all love rugby and I for one enjoy each person’s views whether or not I agree with them.
22 Apr 2012, 15:42 pm
Will support the Bulls for one game on their overseas leg,but not for the other three.
22 Apr 2012, 15:46 pm
I only support the Stormers and the Boks. A supporter is someone loyal to a team. I cheer for South African teams though, although I will never support them.
22 Apr 2012, 15:48 pm
Bulls supporters really should grow a pair of steel balls.They are way too sensitive when it comes to criticism of their players.Yesterday this kleutertjie thing called me a troll for daring to suggest that Dean Greyling is a super rugby thug.

My wife has said please don’t come shopping with it on anymore. Sometimes it is abusive. It is very different in these parts of the world. You are classified as a traitor if you not wearing Blue (Pink). Treason is a huge crime here. I’m used to it now and will never change my team – ever.
22 Apr 2012, 15:59 pm
@stormerforlife1(stormerforlife1)-318: Repeat – Troll Alert!
You should learn to celebrate your team’s win without trying to hurt the feelings of others. You had no part in the Stormers win, just as much as the Sharks supporters had no part in their team’s loss.
Your reaction to a SHark would have been exactly the same as mine ( I’m a Bull) had things been reversed (ie. Stormers lost, Sharks won).
Grow some humbling ballas. Greyling is a “thug” according to you, but if he was a Stormer, he would be Mr. Saint.
One-eyed TROLL.

They do make Shark supporters sound really bad. They are the exception though. Most are really nice people. There are a few Stormer Supporters who also spew **** and then the Bulls – well they are just purr(fectous). Tac is the best example of an un(biased) Bulls supporter…
22 Apr 2012, 16:02 pm
@skyewalker(skyewalker)-324: You should never allow a rugby blog to change your personality or outlook on life.I know that it’s difficult sometimes,especially with moronic characters like hg,wooden spoon,rangerman and others soiling this blog with their venom.
22 Apr 2012, 16:02 pm
@Sharksgirl(Sharksgirl)-319:
Likewise,to Stormers and Boks,and that means I support individual Boks playing good rugby for their respective franchises.The super 15 is now designed to not support other provinces ’cause the teams are now in direct competition with each other for the top of the conference trophy.Divide and conquor,it seems to be working.In the past it was much easier to support all sa teams,now it’s stormers and the rest can go paddle their canoes up sh*t creek!

You know when the guys actually start knowing you, it changes. I have some great mates now. We go to Loftus together – me always with my Province or Stormers jersey. I have my ticket for 2 June – Grandstand – amongst the mighty Pink girls… hehehe

@stormerforlife1(stormerforlife1)-329:
Thing is,I’m far more relaxed and focussed now that I’m not supporting someone’s team that just throws it back in my face,and take a certain pleasure out of calling it right on superbru,don’t have to make calls with my heart anymore just sensible ones.

Do I know that!
22 Apr 2012, 16:18 pm
Skyewalker – you aint nothing but a hater (read ufo’s magnanimous post at #304 for a refresher). A hater hates, that’s just what you do. I accept it and smile at your misfortune. Nothing will change your bitterness, so I’m certainly not going to try.
22 Apr 2012, 16:18 pm
@Kleuter(Kleuter)-344:
My view is that he is far too inconsitent to ever be a great player. He plays ok behind a winning pack and disappears when the pack is going backwards. A great player can change his game and shine in either. He is too one-dimensional in my opinion. I think his place in Bulls side will come under scrutiny soon. Some really good players putting up their hands…
22 Apr 2012, 16:18 pm
@Bill Reyts(Gumboots)-342: I had a respectable discussion on Spies with greatestgerber in regards to yesterday’s play.Not sure you gonna get it with sproetgesiggie.
22 Apr 2012, 16:19 pm
Sharks have been extremely frustrating to watch this season. No patience, composure or accuracy at all. You can probably count the number of times they’ve gone through ten phases this season on one hand.
Plumtree and the “coaching” staff have overstayed their welcome.
22 Apr 2012, 16:20 pm
The Stormers seem to have a lot of haters at the moment. Not used to winning they are (as Yoda would put it).
Enjoy it while it lasts boys. The wheel of life does turn.
Enjoy your moment in the sun.

cheers man… yeah, to me it’s more important to recognize the character of the individual than the color of his… fan jersey…
@Bill Reyts(Gumboots)-315:
for sure bill… and we wp-/stormers supporters have had lots of practice at being losing fans for 10 years now… not a nice feeling… which is why i don’t go online after a game and insult the losing fans… very uncool… IMO…
not that i don;t enjoy the banter… love it… but there’s always a line…
also enjoy the vast majority of comments and the enjoy learning things from many of the bloggers… which is why i still read and post here…
i also like knowing how the ‘other side’ thinks… whether that mean kiwi or aus or bulls or sharks or cheetahs or lions fans… keeps me in check and sometimes forces me to take stock and look at myself and not take it all or me all too seriously…
i love it… but it is just a game after all… and we’re not even the players…!!

Yeah well,as a pall of darkness descends in Natal,home ground ‘advantage’ means nothing with the slippery conditions in the tank,sharkies can kiss their season goodbye as I reckont hey may add only one or two more wins in an already dismal season.
22 Apr 2012, 16:27 pm
@Bill Reyts(Gumboots)-348:
But sometimes posts like these by someone who feels the need to simply degrade someone else, fires me up and force me to defend a player of my team:
See this post on the Sharks link by SpiesisWorthless., post number 615 I think?
“Spies is probably the worst player ever. He’s constantly overwhelmed in contact by virtually everyone even the smallest back. He has absolutely ZERO value at the breakdown and is a defensive liability. He’s clumsy and un-coordinated and has a horrific work-rate. He has no redeeming qualities as a player and has been a burden for the Bok’s for years effectively rendering them a 14 man team (at best), and at worst getting in the way and making things even more difficult.
I hope the rugby fans are watching him closely: I guarantee you will come to the exact same conclusions. If Meyer picks Spies (even on the bench) it will be a farce of the highest order.
He should be chased off every rugby park in the country at every level.”
Outa here.
22 Apr 2012, 16:28 pm
@skyewalker(skyewalker)-356: you may be right. Indeed, the way the Sharks are playing, they may not even win one or two more games.
And no doubt you will come on here after those losses and hate. Your choice – do as you must – I’m easy like Sunday morning about it.
22 Apr 2012, 16:29 pm
Bill,you live in the Pretoria area if i am correct.Do the Pretorians feel Meyer will look favourably on their team for the next four years?Will Meyer select his Bull favourite,Timote Ctrice Olivier?The last question aske with trepidation.

Most people here just enjoy good banter. I for one never go out of my way to insult anyone. Sometimes I say something tongue in cheek and then realise someone took exception to what I was actually trying to say. I chirp a lot and most will tell you so, but I do it not to insult. Dawn got angry with me the other day and not one word I said was meant to be an insult but a joke.

I’m in the East of Pretoria and my mates are already calling the Boks the Blue Boks and they are actually very serious about it. They feel HM will repay loyalty to most of the boys. Whether this happens or not, we will have to wait and see. I sincerely hope he will select on merit though.

Swales’ VC citation reads :
“Captain Swales was ‘Master Bomber’ of a force of aircraft which attacked Pforzheim on the night of February 23, 1945. As Master Bomber he had the task of locating the target area with precision and of giving aiming instructions to the main force of bombers in his wake.
Soon after he reached the target area he was engaged by an enemy aircraft and one of his engines was put out of action. His rear guns failed. His crippled aircraft was an easy prey for further attacks. Unperturbed, he carried on with his allotted task; clearly and precisely he issued aiming instructions to the main force. Meanwhile the enemy fighter closed the range and fired again. A second engine of Captain Swales’ aircraft was put out of action. Almost defenceless, he stayed over the target area issuing his aiming instructions until he was satisfied that the attack had achieved its purpose.
It is now known that the attack was one of the most concentrated and successful of the war. Captain Swales did not, however, regard his mission as completed. His aircraft was damaged. Its speed had been so much reduced that it could only with difficulty be kept in the air. The blind-flying instruments were no longer working. Determined at all costs to prevent his aircraft and crew from falling into enemy hands, he set course for home. After an hour he flew into thin-layered cloud. He kept his course by skilful flying between the layers, but later heavy cloud and turbulent air conditions were met. The aircraft, by now over friendly territory, became more and more difficult to control; it was losing height steadily. Realising that the situation was desperate Captain Swales ordered his crew to bail out. Time was very short and it required all his exertions to keep the aircraft steady while each of his crew moved in turn to the escape hatch and parachuted to safety. Hardly had the last crew-member jumped when the aircraft plunged to earth. Captain Swales was found dead at the controls. Intrepid in the attack, courageous in the face of danger, he did his duty to the last, giving his life that his comrades might live.”
A real pity Edwin Swales Drive was renamed.

And so, the phoney war ends… Yesterday was a test of the Sharks’ Super rugby winning credentials, and they failed it… It is one thing taking into consideration a long season and timing a team’s conditioning to peak later in the competition but certain games have to be won and momentum has to be established… Home wins are none negotiable even against a team like the Chiefs who have established themselves as one of the favourites… It is all not over and the Sharks may well find themselves in the playoffs still, despite the Brokebacks glee over yesterday’s result… But it is clear that the dynamite will not win this comp.
The Breezers and the Chiefs have established themselves as front runners and undisputed favourites to win the Super rugby comp. Can they live with this tag when the Crusaders and Bulls – with undoubted pedigrees of actually winning this thing – lurk in the shadows… I think not…. I think the shadows of the Pale blue (or pink, depending on preference) and the Black and Red loom large… Too large for the johnny come latelies of the SH premier provincial competition….
I thought the Breezer bubble had popped last weekend… I was wrong… But instead the bubble has inflated to gargantuan proportions fueled by the oxygen of dumbfuck, blind refugee hating hysteria… I maintain that this bubble is still to pop, and if and when it does the snot en trane will do justice to a small atrocity…
As for these unimaginative brokeback breezing hypocrite punks wanting a piece of a Sharkie till he dies on an overwhelmingly Storming Norman one eyed Cape focused refugee hating blog, because I have the “temerity” to expose your undoubted whining hypocricy…..
Come get some, naked fools!

Sharks coach John Plumtree conceded that the massive error count was key contributor to their Super Rugby loss to the Chiefs in Durban on Saturday.
The hosts spurned several opportunities throughout the game, making mistakes in crucial areas at King’s Park that allowed the New Zealanders to re-take top spot on the log in a tense 18-12 win.
“The little opportunities we had, we didn’t take, ultimately that was probably the difference in the end,” said Plumtree.
“That’s the difference between winning and losing. The effort and commitment was there, the plan we had in place was working nicely.
“We put them under a lot of pressure, but then they also put us under pressure, so the intensity of the match was right up there.”
No shitsherlock
22 Apr 2012, 18:24 pm
@stormersboy(stormersboy)-393: No tries yesterday… granted… But, in the bottom half of the log, the Sharks have still scored more tries than the favourite “mighty” Stormers at the top… Sharks don’t lack creativity thats for sure… even though creativity includes creatively snatching defeat from the jaws of victory this season many times… like yesterday… and against the Stormers too… Creativity on attack that is plaintively absent in Cape Town…
Creativity…Must be a refugee thing… Maybe not enough of them under the mountain…

Not really that much of a big deal, was it? Nothing like being awarded the DFC and the VC, is it?
Nah, Mahlangu is not my idea of a hero or someone to look up to.

The Bulls and Sharks are going into Bok camp tomorrow. If HM wants to teach them a defence strategy, he only has to play them the re-runs of the last few Stormers games.
That’ll have them waking up screaming in the middle of the night.
22 Apr 2012, 19:00 pm
Congrats tl the winners bad luck my sharkies.
Went to the game and i was really saddened by the poor option taking of the sharks. The game was there for the taking if the ball had simply moved through the hands on a few occasions bissy being the most noticeable.
Imo keegan is not ready for captaincy. If we had taken the 3 points on offer instead of the lineout bissy overthrew we would have led the game and maybe even won it.
Anyways well done chiefs but i will never turn my back on the MIGHTY SHAAAAAARKS!

At the begining of the season we werent blowing our foghorn about wining the super 15, as far as I remember it was the Shark supporters who felt they had the best chance. On Friday the Stormers average age of the team was 23, but it’s the Bulls that are rebuilding, whats the Bulls average age??? The Stormers won’t win the Super 15 this year, neither will the Bulls, but both can at least hold their heads high after a good season unlike the team that is all talk and has done sweet nothing the whole season. HG admit it, your team has lost it.

The most successful SA ace pilot of them all was Marmaduke Pat Pattle. He flew in North Africa and Greece (mostly with a Hurricane) and is reported to have shot down between 22 and 44 axis aircraft, with some suggesting the final count was 50. He was possibly the top RAF ace of WWII.

check these ‘white Africans’ eulogizing their dead WW11 war heroes… how African could they possibly be for partaking in a European war which had absolutely f’all to do with Africa ?
you colonialists continue to f’ng fool yourselves , Edwin Swales was no African.. same as this little goody two shoes pale skin son of a sugar plantation owner is not… they are deeply endowed to their ancestral heritage of Old Mother Hubbard and her bare cupboard.. That’s why they still Eulogizing over European War heroes .. and why they cannot fathom why Edwin Swales means absolutely farkall to ANYONE with ANY affiliation to Africa and her history..
Don’t you dumb ‘white Africans’ get it.. you are NOT African.. and you ain’t ever gonna be … best you can ever hope to happen is that you assimilate your snot nosed highfalutin alien European attitudes and become assimilated with Africa and her indigenous inhabitants.. because you are an Alien here.. you are a misfit here.. you are a visitor here at best and an outright marauding colonialist usurper at worst…
So Edwin Swales boulevard is consigned to colonialist history and has no place in Africa.. the Mahlangu’s and Mabhida’s and Mandela’s and Biko’s… these are the true sons of Africa.. not these white skinned pale faced imposters who pretend to hail from Africa.. because they simply do Not !
So Solomon Mahlangu or Moses Mabhida or Nelson Mandela or Steven Biko.. these names MEAN something to the people of Africa and hence streets and stadiums are named after them.. while Edwin Swales simply does NOT.. unless of course you wanna turn the clock back and pretend that you white skinned pale faced colony hopping impostors actually own a piece of Africa.. which you did not inherit at all.. you simply came over here from your bare Mothers Cupboard and usurped it as your own.

22 Apr 2012, 20:36 pm
Bwaaaaahaaaaaa skop nearly got shot by his lieut for picking ****** oranges on patrol.
22 Apr 2012, 20:38 pm
Well, ask me why I’m drunk alla time
It levels my head and eases my mind
I just walk along and stroll and sing
I see better days and I do better things
(I catch dinosaurs
I make love to Elizabeth Taylor …
Catch hell from Richard Burton !)
22 Apr 2012, 20:38 pm
@Transformation(Transformation)-446: ok lets make this a whole lot simpler for you to understand then. In my opinion I don’t think Mahlangu is the kind of person whose deeds warranted a street being renamed after him.
Swales, on the other hand, was a true and distinguished South African hero and died bravely in the service of his country.

@rangerman(rangerman)-456: Wonder what medal was awarded for that act of skopskietandbendover “African” courage…? The Croix L’Orange… Spring’s highest order of “Bravery
22 Apr 2012, 20:42 pm
So wtf u doing here skopshyte?
Fekkoff back to palestine.
P.s’ if it wasnt for those white pseudo africans the jewish people may not exist today.
Idiot.
22 Apr 2012, 20:45 pm
@CAPECRUSADER (seven-times champions)(CAPECRUSADER)-459: Ag, shutup man… You confused enough already… Wakey wakey…the Breezers are not the Crusaders…. No matter how much you want them to be…
They aint got the ballas…. in fact they probably got less ballas put together than Cruden… And he unfortunately hasnt got them all…
22 Apr 2012, 20:46 pm
skopshyte, the weasel security guard of Caprivi is here trying to tell us Swales was not South African?
Born in Inanda, lived in Berea, went to DHS, worked in Barclays Bank in Durban before joining the Natal Mounted Rifles.
He was a true African through and through.
22 Apr 2012, 20:47 pm
@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-458: unlike the st.james’s ones old groot krokkedil snapped this mahlangu’s neck before he could kill again.we should be thankful for small mercies.it could have been worse with him still running around the streets of durban killing for fun this time.
22 Apr 2012, 20:48 pm
Lol. Jewish Joel is here today because of men like Swales. The massive chip on Joel’s shoulder is the weight of irony.
22 Apr 2012, 20:50 pm
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-447:skop race doesn’t preclude people from being african…
donald woods was an African, so was ruth first, beyers naude, bram fischer & many more
22 Apr 2012, 20:55 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-462: that’s gonna be the final mate.only the best contest finals and not second-rate teams like the sharks.
22 Apr 2012, 20:55 pm
@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-458: fine, solomon mahlangu died fighting for his people too.
22 Apr 2012, 20:57 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-450: we not discussing bravery or cowardice.. nor manliness or womanliness ..
wtf you bringing my non eventful sightseeing trip to the Caprivi for in such a unrelated context…
we are discussing why Edwin Swales means fck’all to the people of Dirtbin.. unless of course you are of the minority Caucasian colonialist persuasion.. same as he was… hence his street been changed from a European hero’s name to an African one
How complicated is that to comprehend for you WW11 museum visiting warmongering goose flesh reminiscing pale face heathens ?
22 Apr 2012, 20:58 pm
Poor little bakkie builder.
No wonder he doesnt feel african.
Not even born in africa.
But he just needs someone to tell him its alright, no one can claim ownership of a feeling.
Its alright skop.
22 Apr 2012, 20:59 pm
@CAPECRUSADER (seven-times champions)(CAPECRUSADER)-467: Sharks have been in many finals… A lot more than the Gerbils in contemporary rugby pro era history…
I know… I know… it takes a bit of getting used to… being in finals and all that… Especially since the Breezing Gerbils weren’t in Super rugby one year… banned for daring to wear a Christmas tree instead of a rugby jersey….
22 Apr 2012, 21:00 pm
In order for evil to flourish all that is required is for good men to do nothing.
A lot of good men gave their lives so that Hitler’s evil didn’t flourish.
I’m not debating this.
I’ll be back in the morning when there is fresh news
22 Apr 2012, 21:01 pm
skopshyte has conveniently forgotten that 77,000 black people and 46,000 coloured and Indian people volunteered for full time service in the South African Army during WWII.
I guess Swales didn’t die for them…
22 Apr 2012, 21:01 pm
Haha tell him transie.
Poor oke is a product of apartheid.
His head still fukked up with all that racial kuuk.
22 Apr 2012, 21:04 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-471:
jy is n mal donner
22 Apr 2012, 21:04 pm
Haha so the white population of durban dont count as people?
Silly old man
22 Apr 2012, 21:05 pm
How about the 607 black troops of the South African 5th Battalion Labour Corps who perished when the SS Mendi sank in the Great War? And here is Caprivi Skopshyte telling us that WWI and WWII means nothing to black people…
22 Apr 2012, 21:05 pm
@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-458: You and Edwin Swales are NOT African..
get that THROUGH your thick white skinned pale face head !!
Edwin Swales was NEVER African
Solomon Mahlangu WAS
Edwin Swales died for Britain or the Allied European forces he did NOT die for Africa
Solomon Mahlangu DID
How f’ng THICK are you, you dumb little pale faced silver spoon fed colony hopping white boy??
22 Apr 2012, 21:08 pm
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-469: Edwin Swales is a nothing man… He is known for NOTHING more than his BRAVERY… Not for his political affiliations… not for any racism… not the colour of his skin… Just his COURAGE…
Your Caprivi exploits were just an interesting juxtaposition… He fought for freedom, and died in the attempt… while saving his brothers in arms. Caprivi version of courage under fire?
Swales was African… He was honoured as an African… He showed the best of what it is to be an African… Despite the fact that he was white.
A pity he isn’t honoured in his Country as he is Universally.
22 Apr 2012, 21:08 pm
Aha
All the sharkies in one pond!
Happy I am
22 Apr 2012, 21:08 pm
@CAPECRUSADER (seven-times champions)(CAPECRUSADER)-475:
22 Apr 2012, 21:09 pm
Haha edwin swales was acrican through and through.
Pointless trying to argue otherwise.
No one agrees with you pal.
22 Apr 2012, 21:10 pm
@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-473: wtf were they doing fighting in somebody else’s war??
They died for somebody else’s liberation.. NOT their own..
Same as I participated in patrolling the cut line on the Caprivi strip for SOMEBODY Else’s political persuasion and somebody else’s war..
Same as the African American and English and French soldiers died in Vietnam and Afghanistan and Iraq over Yankee Doodle Dandies quest to usurp more middle east oil… or for somebody else’s indoctrinated politics…
22 Apr 2012, 21:11 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-479: Somehow this didn’t make it through:
Your Caprivi exploits were just an interesting juxtaposition… He fought for freedom, and died in the attempt… while saving his brothers in arms. You apparently dodged bullets from a comrade while nicking Oranges…Caprivi version of courage under fire?
22 Apr 2012, 21:12 pm
Me too.
Proudly south african.
Its awesome.
22 Apr 2012, 21:14 pm
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-483: Skop Skiet and Bendover…
Fighting the Swartgevaar, Rooigevaar… and apparently the Oranjegevaar too…
Caprivi Man van Staal…
22 Apr 2012, 21:14 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-479: Courage is a good attribute .. a good human value and a sound human principle to emulate and admire..
But it has NOTHING to do with Africa or her history that Edwin Swales died after a bombing raid over Germany.. NOTHING at ALL whatso f’ng ever.
IF he had died while trying to bomb John Vorster square for all the atrocities that took place within there.. then I reckon he might have kept his name on his boulevard..
but your little woesie spoonful of spittle reminiscing of Edwin Swales and his European acts of bravery have benefited Africa or her people Fark ALL.!!
22 Apr 2012, 21:16 pm
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-478:
so i guess guys like michael jordan are not american….
and the usain bolts of this world are not really jamaican/caribbean?
where do you draw the line?
somewhere convenient?
edwin swales (my relation by marriage) was honoured for his bravery and fighting for the forces of light against the evil axis – an exemplary human being.
22 Apr 2012, 21:16 pm
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-487: Courage and Edwin Swales has EVERYTHING to do with Africa…
He is AFRICAN
22 Apr 2012, 21:18 pm
iT was a WORLD WAR idiot
And when my grandfather helped liberate the people of ethiopia from the italian occupation force i am pretty sure they were grateful.
Or not?
What a fool. How can u have been on this earth so long and know so little?
22 Apr 2012, 21:21 pm
you people that get goose bumps and goose flesh from visiting European war museums and holocaust museums must fck off back to Europe.. that is where your reminiscing blood lusting goose flesh shivering heathen affiliation to your motherland rests and where your heart is bound..
it is SO f’ng obvious that you have F’ALL affiliation to Africa yet you sit here and scum off the continent while eulogizing over your European war heroes exploits in a European war..
WTF ARE you doing feeling attached to Africa when you hanker after Edwin Swales name on one of your colonialists streets of the last bastion of Colonial Empirical exploits in AFRICA.??
22 Apr 2012, 21:22 pm
Yay
Leave Usain out of this
22 Apr 2012, 21:23 pm
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-483: Skop. It was a World War.
Not a little regional conflict.
If it wasn’t for the actions of those guys we’d all be speaking German with Japanese as a second language and there’d be no more Jews, Gypsies, Blacks (who Hitler thought less of than the Jews) or anyone who wasn’t Blond with Blue Eyes.
I’d be Ok as it turns out.
Would you?
22 Apr 2012, 21:23 pm
whites have so-called european racists as heroes
blacks have so-called terrorists and killers as heroes
coloureds have so-calle papsakke as heroes and
indians have the mahatma
where are we going to end up as a country with this ongoing daily bickering?
22 Apr 2012, 21:25 pm
@charo(charo)-488: The debate is NOT about whether he was an exemplary human being or not .. he most undoubtedly was a huge man of character and bravery and courage.. BUT his bravery and courage had NO bearing on ANY peoples plight in Africa.. NONE WHATSOEVER.. It had everything to do with the people of Europe and their plight.
these little white skinned impostor colonialists sons like Woesie Spittle wanna insinuate that Solomon Mahlangu was LESS of a hero than Edwin Swales because he fought against the oppression of his OWN African people and NOT for the liberation of some European people from OTHER European people..
22 Apr 2012, 21:27 pm
Haha so insular.
Dare not mention europe or u arent african
Pathetic old man. Trying so hard to be left you end up being more right than eugene.
Idiot.
22 Apr 2012, 21:30 pm
@Dawn(Dawn)-492:

22 Apr 2012, 21:31 pm
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-495: Didn’t do anything for the people of Africa?
If the Allies had lost the Germans would all have holiday houses in Camps Bay and this place would be whiter than the Oranje first XV.
22 Apr 2012, 21:31 pm
I see ethiopia was ignored
Inconvenient lmao.
22 Apr 2012, 21:33 pm
@stormersboy(stormersboy)-498: Well ironically there are a lot of Germans who own places in camps Bay.
22 Apr 2012, 21:34 pm
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-495:
no doubt mahlangu was fighting for his cause.
but to insinuate that he showed extreme bravery is stretching it.
in my opinion anyway.
22 Apr 2012, 21:36 pm
Haha if ze germans had won apartheid might have lasted another 100 years.
Whattaloser.
Who cares what a lettuce nibbling washed out hippy thinks anyway.
22 Apr 2012, 21:37 pm
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-495: Yeah right… So what was Jerry doing in Africa… as far down South as Namibia too… sightseeing?
And the Japsprats… in Singapore… China… Indonesia… and everywhere as far South as Darwin, Australia… What were they doing… checking out some new sites for a couple of Toyota factories?
Fark me… You need to eat a couple of steaks soon, bru… There’s a distinct lack of Vitamin B from those years eating rabbit food and fungus only…
22 Apr 2012, 21:38 pm
anyway, this argument will never be resolved.
it all depends on the individual’s perspective.
22 Apr 2012, 21:38 pm
the football commentator:’the men wearing pink, shocking roma in the first half.’ : D pink the flavour of the day nowadays it seems.since juve hauled in ac milan milan wearing pink they have stuck to the pink shirt at home now as well.

22 Apr 2012, 21:39 pm
@rangerman(rangerman)-496: you must go back to Scotland that is where your affiliation and your heart is hankering for..
You wanna say on one hand that Solomon Mahlangu or Moses Mabhida means fck’all to you and Edwin Swales or Cecil John Rhodes or Lord Kitchener means EVERYTHING to you .. and in the next breath you wanna tell me you are a dyed in the wool fully bred son of Africa.. then you are ONLY fooling yourself and none other…
22 Apr 2012, 21:41 pm
@stormersboy(stormersboy)-498: I thought you were 60% German
so wtf you doing in Somerset West? of All places.
22 Apr 2012, 21:41 pm
Indeed.
Gayle is innocent, I say.
22 Apr 2012, 21:44 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-503: wtf were you Poms doing in Africa
Sightseeing.. fleeing the tyranny of Queen Elizabeth 1st … escaping the overbearing feudal lords of Old mother Hubbard’s cupboard.. WTF WERE you seeking in this darkest dingiest arse end of the world continent full of non Christian uneducated heathens?
22 Apr 2012, 21:45 pm
I said nothing about mahlangu sonny.
I think u are the one who should fukkoff.
Have u even tried to learn an african language?
Who mentioned cjr?
My grandaddy saved your hide son because ze germsns would have enlisted the arabs help to incinerate your daddy and mommy if ol grandpop hadnt taken a bullet at al alamein chasing rommels africa corps out of the region you ungrateful piece of s’h it.
Granpop aint around so you can thank me.
Make sharp boy.
22 Apr 2012, 21:46 pm
@rangerman(rangerman)-506: Yes.
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-508: I come from a mixture which includes German, sure.
I don’t live in Somerset West though.
And I consider myself an African.
Got the old eVoid album to prove it.
22 Apr 2012, 21:49 pm
Interesting conversation…
Like Thabo… I am African… and very proud of it…
My Free State born father fought in the 8th Army North Africa… was blown to the gates of hell… left for dead and ‘rescued’ by two Indian stretcher bearers whose attention he managed to attract by grunting… and was emoting shrapnel that appeared in ‘boils’ till the day he died…
Haven’t been to the WW2 Museum… but am sure I would be moved if I went…
However, have been to the Apartheid Museum in Cape Town… and been to Robben Island more than 24 times (really can’t remember every time now)… and would strongly recommend both to everyone… especially those who identify themselves as Africans…
Nothing in life or war is that straight forward and simple and there were/are many heroes who were incarcerated on The Island. If you have never been, please try and go… it is a very enlightening experience.
As far as WW2s relevance to Africa is concerned… SWA/Namibia… ceded to SA by the United Nations after the war to prepare it for independence (which took longer than it should have)… and German East Africa /Burundi, Rwanda and Tanganyika abut yes… had Germany not been defeated… were both German colonies and their control of Africa would have been pretty much completed had they won the war…
so yes… the defeat of Germany by the Allies… and White, Black, Colored and Indian South Africans… was directly relevant to Africa…
22 Apr 2012, 21:49 pm
@charo(charo)-501:
They hung him for re entering his own country carrying an AK47
What they murder Steve Biko for.. wtf for exactly??
and those punks that murdered Chris Hani are still breathing and eating government sponsored food.
Where you gonna draw the line in respect of who’s hero is worthy and who’s is not??
Had it not been for European slave masters there would not be any Usain Bolt’s or Michael Jordan’s in Jamaica or USA
They would still be African.. which is essentially who they are.
22 Apr 2012, 21:51 pm
and was emoting = and was removing…
22 Apr 2012, 21:53 pm
If u dont know wtf was happening then u should shut your trap.
Hitler DEMANDED the return of namibia. You know, where they had slaughtered 100 000. Hereros a few decades before under a relatively begnign govt (in comparison to the nazis).
Imagine what the nazis would have done.
German u boats attacked shipping off our coastline.
How were we not involved fool?
22 Apr 2012, 21:54 pm
Back to rugby – how kak are the Sharks
22 Apr 2012, 21:57 pm
G dont try spin your way out of this u old tosser.
U say whites arent african. Thats your premise.
U are a fool and i think all reasonable people agree on this.
Its your cross you bear it.
Goodnight all.
22 Apr 2012, 21:57 pm
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-514:
not sure how long a mexican would live if he entered the usa with an ak47 under his arm.
and those punks who murdered farmers and their innocent families are being fed tax payers sponsored food.
and michael jordan proudly wears the colours of the usa.
and usain bolt (and chris gayle- ok dawn?) are proudly jamaican.
you see, this argument can go on forever…. it’s all perspectives.
22 Apr 2012, 21:58 pm
sorry meant league of nations…
22 Apr 2012, 21:59 pm
@rangerman(rangerman)-511: don’t flatter yourself Scotty.. you never fought for me or anyone of my tribe.. not a fck.. you never fought for anyone but for yourself.
My grandparents came here from Lithuania fleeing the tyranny of Lenin and his thugs long before the 2nd world war they are about as ‘African’ as your grandpappy was.. in fact probably more ‘African’ than your clan scottyboy
My parents went to the newly formed state of Israel as young idealistic people seeking to build and serve an identity of their national or religious persuasion ..
That is another debate altogether and has f’all to do with the issue brought up why Edwin Swales name has been removed from the street of Dirtbin and replaced by a more affiliated name of one of Africa’s own struggle liberation heroes.
22 Apr 2012, 22:04 pm
Old fuckadilly getting a well earned klap in his ubuntus.
#give peace a chance
22 Apr 2012, 22:05 pm
@charo(charo)-519: He was NOT a Mexican entering a foreign country USA.. He was a South African born and bred re entering his OWN country usurped by Europeans and hung for attempting to liberate it..
How thick do these whites actually gotta be to realize they are NOT African.. How f’ng THICK does anyone gotta be like this little piffle arsed 2nd generation Scotsman and his Woesie Pompom pal to REALIZE that they are hankering after European war heroes and get goose flesh when visiting European war museums.. but they look DOWN their pitiful white pompous pompom noses when you mention an African Liberation struggle heroes name..??
You people are KIDDING yourselves.. You are NOT African.. you are as African as I am which is NOT African ONE little Itsy bitsy teeny weeny BIT !!!
22 Apr 2012, 22:08 pm
@the artist formerly known as gunther(gunther)-522: another pompom pseudo f’ng Nazi loving ‘African’ wanna come enter the fray…
The little Scottish fraud and his Scottish grandpappy gone running off to spear himself another defenseless fishy in the seas and rivers of Africa.. they should lock him up for treason for killing the Chiefs fishy.
22 Apr 2012, 22:08 pm
U wish they were african.
Chewed up spat out.
U really think israel would exist or that your jewish family would not have been handed over by our own national socialists if the germans hadnt had to contest with grandpop or millions like him?
Lets face it u are an ungrateful ignorant fool.
22 Apr 2012, 22:13 pm
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-523:
perhaps a “mexican” is more american than a redneck border guard in new mexico or texas?
see what i mean?
what is nationality these days?
anyway, this is boring me. been lovely sunday and i have better things to do.
cheers
22 Apr 2012, 22:16 pm
@rangerman(rangerman)-525: you little Scottish sprat reckon you liberated me.. Moron.. since When ?
go spear another fish your moronic self aggrandized little European white boy.. you ain’t an African.. not a hair on your head nor a pore of your skin is African.. get it THROUGH your thick indoctrinated warmongering colonialist eulogizing head.
22 Apr 2012, 22:17 pm
The fish are mine.
22 Apr 2012, 22:21 pm
Not me.
Grandaddy.
He became an africam but i was born one.
When u calm down and realise what you ow my famoly and edwin swales u can let me know ok?
22 Apr 2012, 22:22 pm
What were fuckadilly’s kin doing whilst Adolf was running around like a mutt with two tales.
Making gefligte tofu?
Thanks to people like grandpa gunther you were saved from being some nazi’s lampshade.
They were better men then you or I.
And they fought and died in their thousands as proud South Africans.
You cowardly stinking old goat.
22 Apr 2012, 22:26 pm
Only a fool thinks it has anuthing tl do with skin.
Methinks u want to make people angry.
I have found it amusing but i am not your free psycholovist ok?
Get your head sorted ok?
22 Apr 2012, 22:27 pm
fuckadilly’s kin were already here in Africa.. long before Adolph reached puberty .. and probably long before Rangerprudes grandpappy was too..
So Fuckadilly is as African as you little pompous European colonialist sympathizing white boys are.. which is absolutely Not at ALL..!!!
22 Apr 2012, 22:28 pm
@the artist formerly known as gunther(gunther)-530:
they were indeed braver and better than us…
22 Apr 2012, 22:30 pm
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-532: Ees eet ‘cos I is white?
22 Apr 2012, 22:30 pm
you little pompous punks wanna change the debate to a Jewish issue.. it has Fck’all to do with a Jewish issue.. this is an AFRICAN issue..
Edwin Swales is and was NOT African.. and he did NOT die for Africa or for Africans.. he died for Britain and the Allied forces in Europe.. Not for or in Africa..
Dumb little agenda laden European (non African) punks !!
22 Apr 2012, 22:32 pm
Indeed fuckadilly.
But what were they doing?
Fighting for their adopted country or selling waistcoats?
22 Apr 2012, 22:35 pm
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-534:
Its the indoctrinated thinking that gotta change..
Woesie Spittle reckoned Edwin Swales was an African hero and Solomon Mahlangu was NOT
THAT is what the argument is about.. Not whether Gunther’s granpappy or The Scottish prudential grandpappy fought Hitler to save Europe from Nazism..
They didn’t fight Verwoerd or Vorster for the liberation of South Africa.. which may have been more admirable after all. seeing they reckon they are dyed in the wool born and bred ‘AFRICANS’ themselves.
22 Apr 2012, 22:36 pm
Edwin Swales is African and proof that the bravest African whiteboys come from Durban… Full stop
22 Apr 2012, 22:37 pm
Ag pleas. They arrived in the ’20′s’
Because lenin only took over in 1917 and needed time to defeat the white russians.
But why did they have to flee lenin. Sounds like a bs story to me. After all trotsky was jewish as were many prominent commies under lenin.
So anyways thats why u feel like a johnny come lately?
Relax man.
22 Apr 2012, 22:37 pm
they were selling waistcoats to the boertjies in Potchefstroom.. thats what they were doing.. the war was over in some other continent someplace else.. not in Africa.. in Europe.!!
Capische.. or STILL NOT ??
22 Apr 2012, 22:38 pm
Gunther is an African.
Fuckadilly is an Africunt.
Here endeth the lesson.
22 Apr 2012, 22:43 pm
you never seen the movie fiddler on the roof.. that was the plight of the minority Jews in western Russia and Lithuania.. so what kind of BS story is it to YOU?
That why 90% of Jews in SA are Lithuanian.. from the early 20th century immigration .. and the rest went to USA or Britain or some to Australia. .. the German Jews were pretty happy and content in Germany they were as ‘German’ as some you continental colonialists are ‘African’.. or at least that’s what they thought they were till Hitler came along and told them they weren’t and exterminated them for being so.
22 Apr 2012, 22:44 pm
Haha selling waistcoats.
Then he tells us his family helped build israel who practice their own brand of apartheid and supplied pw with nukes.
What a hero.
Nothing like edwin swales.
22 Apr 2012, 22:50 pm
Indeed.
If I were a rich man.
A very rich man.
I’d deedle-eed-deee-deeedlllee-eedddee dum.
22 Apr 2012, 22:51 pm
edwin swales was indeed a hero and it’s a bloody disgrace what they have done in kzn.he died,as a 30 year old,fighting the scum of nazi germany and in my books that is good enough for me.i just hope the comrades haven’t melted down his medals already.
PERSONALIA
Name: Swales, Edwin
Date of birth: July 3rd, 1915 (Inanda, Natal, South Africa)
Date of death: February 23rd, 1945 (Leopoldsburg, Belgium)
Buried on: Commonwealth War Cemetery Leopoldsburg
Nationality: South African
BIOGRAPHY:
Edwin Swales was born in Natal and served with the Natal Mounted Rifles on the outbreak of war. He joined the S.A.A.F. in early 1942 and was seconded to R.A.F. Bomber Command in August 1943, being posted to 6 AFU based at Little Rissington. He was transferred to duties
with 582 Squadron, part of the Pathfinder Force, in July 1944. Swales was awarded an immediate DFC for his coolness under fire, leadership and adept manoeuvring during a daylight raid on the marshalling yards at Cologne on 23 December 1944. His friend Squadron Leader R.A.M.
Palmer, who acted as Master Bomber on the Cologne raid, was shot down and killed, receiving a posthumous VC for the action in a way which strangely foreshadowed Swales’s own award. Exactly two months after Cologne, on 23 February 1945 (the very day, by coincidence, on which his DFC was gazetted), Swales took the place of Master Bomber on the Pforzheim raid. His Lancaster was severely damaged by enemy fire both on the way in and over the target, but he
steadfastly continued to control the bombing until the end of the raid (which was to prove particularly accurate, concentrated and effective). Turning for home in his crippled Lancaster, Swales encountered turbulent cloud and ordered his crew to bale out over Belgium. As the last man jumped the aircraft stalled, leaving Swales himself no chance of
escape; he was found dead at the controls and is buried at the
Leopoldsburg War Cemetery. His posthumous award of the VC was gazetted on 24 April and proved to be Bomber Command’s last of the war. Edwin Swales’s medals, uniform and logbook were presented by his mother to the South African National Museum of Military History in 1959.

Pogroms?
Lot older than lenin.
Terrible practice but it should have given u a bit more perspective.

@rangerman(rangerman)-543: you little Scottish fakface cannot read and your pompous white ignorant indoctrinated idiocy is fcking up your brain.. moron
My Grandparents came here from Lithuania.. early 20th century fleeing the pogroms in Russia and Lithuania..
My Parents went to Israel after it was formed in early 1950′s as young idealists who were seeking to create a national identity which they succeeded to some extent as Israel is today a thriving existing nation.. whatever the contentious politics are surrounding its existence… which is where I was born
They returned here late 1950′s when I was a child of 3
They were 2nd generation South African Jews.
I am sabra.. born in Israel.. to 2nd generation South African Jews.. so I am by descent 3rd generation South African Jew..
My children are not Jewish by virtue that their mother is not.. So my children are South African of mixed heritage..
Get the picture YET.. dumb little white indoctrinated pseudo African punk.??

@CAPECRUSADER (seven-times champions)(CAPECRUSADER)-545: He was a brave soldier and pilot and deserves commemoration as a hero.. BUT his heroics had no relevancy to Africa.. it had every relevancy to Europe and the Allied defense and liberation from Nazi German offensive there.
22 Apr 2012, 23:04 pm
Fool.
You said they were fleeing lenin.
I couldnt give a toss if you they or the lady who does your books is jewish.
I am african like mahlangu and swales.
You are clearly unsure of what u are.
Your problem.
22 Apr 2012, 23:14 pm
U cant be sabra.
The sabra stayed to fight for their homeland.
U wanderered around caprivi whining about the food.
No. Dont tarnish the name of the true sabra.
22 Apr 2012, 23:14 pm
@rangerman(rangerman)-549: nope you are not African you are Scottish living in Africa like I am 3rd generation SA Jew living in Africa… BIG Difference..
You are NOT African.. you are 2nd or 3rd generation European descendant living in Africa.. but you are not African.
If and when sh’t hits the fan in Dirtbin you will be on first flight outa there en route to the bonny Loch Gloman to stake your Granpappies claim..
The REAL African will remain in Africa.. but you sonny boy I doubt will.
22 Apr 2012, 23:18 pm
This has been an exceptionally interesting thread to read.
We all have different heroes. Some we can relate to more than others. However, no-one can argue that Swales was not a true African hero.
This thread has reinforced what a complete arsehole skopshyte is. It all makes sense now, why the man is so lost. The Jew who chose to marry out of Judaism. A big deal for the family that, no wonder skopshyte is permanently agitated.
22 Apr 2012, 23:21 pm
All Jews born in Israel are called sabra whether they are still there or not..
Even that Gumede partner Isakovitch is sabra.. whether you able to accept it or not.
22 Apr 2012, 23:26 pm
You people who are tied to your clannish attachments and your tribalism and your creeds and religions are the ones who are lost.. not those who have evolved beyond the confines of religion, creed, tribal heritage and tradition..
Those who preach give peace a chance better realize what it is they are preaching and stop visiting ancient war museums which fill their blood lusting souls with awe at the concept of more heroics and more killing and more infatuation with war..

@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-612: So then stick to athletics or tennis or basketball or whatever tickles your fancy. Stop wasting your energy on the talentless, unathletic poor rugby players.
Go join a basketball blog or tennis blog or athletics blog and swear at the people there. See what happens. They, as supporters of the graceful, talented sport codes will likely not take kind to some oke from the fairest Cape that wants to tell everyone else to think exactly like him and if not, swear them in a language most people do not recognize as a language at all, but rather as bribberish constructed by a lonely man deprived of the greatest gift of all – that is LOVE.

Where shall you run, where shall you hide on the day of reckoning? Will you run east or west or south or simply straight in your moer in? Do not look left, do not look right, do not pass beginning and do not collect two hundred Rand. Be careful of the landmine in the road that will, if stepped on, attack your sensitive nostrils with an unstoppable force.
You hate Schalk Burger for no reason other than the fact that he saw right through your twisted act like a pure blue eye through a magnifying glass.

You are miserable because he has wine on tap, you have nothing but a dors bek.
Now chill out, leave the booze, talk sense, respect all your fellow human brothers, be kind to animals, do not steal from the poor and then preach to others about the sins of the past.
Then, maybe, just maybe, you will find a warm boesem to crawl in under at night, to feel warm and safe with.

@whatever(whatever)-557: says who.. you?

The little molly coddled white boys got their pounding.. they are the ones suddenly a whole lot more enlightened than what they were before the pounding lesson took place.. it seems just like your pompous pom pom shark shifting boeties you not only cannot read.. you also cannot comprehend..
I on the other hand remain exactly who I am as the pounding lesson imparted to them of who’s African and who’s not.. just like you never were.. neither are they.

@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-434: Come on HG. The bulls have reason to have a trophy room.They have a very proud history of winning.As a Shark supporter I admire their past success. Basson’s try yesterday was as good as it gets.I just finished watching the Skark/Chief’s game . Nothing in it .2 yellows missed against the Chiefs. Otherwise the ref was good.

@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-450: A re you saying Shampoepollo was born in Springs?

@ufo(ufo)-513: Robben Island as inmate or visitor? Honest question.
23 Apr 2012, 01:07 am
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-562: Springs is a great place. What went wrong?
23 Apr 2012, 01:10 am
visitor obviously
nothing ‘went wrong’
why should anything go wrong for anyone to leave a place for another
Moved to JHB at age 14 .. lived with father .. mother and siblings remained in Springs
You know Springs?
23 Apr 2012, 01:12 am

23 Apr 2012, 01:17 am
@ashampoopaloo(joel1yahoo)-565: Just wonder why someone would leave Springs..Great place . Grew up there.Work made me leave.

Contenders for the title in no particular order Chiefs, Crusaders, Stormers, Bulls.
23 Apr 2012, 06:26 am
@greentea(greentea)-574: Spot on . My team will have to wait till next year. ( and get someone at centre instead of Bosman. Hope Steyn will be there)
23 Apr 2012, 06:43 am
@optiplay(optiplay)-575:
Yip Sharkies gone now I think, Crusaders starting to look very good they have a fantastic backline think it will come down to home town advantage as it normally does.
23 Apr 2012, 06:44 am
@optiplay(optiplay)-560:
“nothing in it” ?
being kept tryless, at home, whilst the opposition score twice, is hardly “nothing in it”. The ref certainly tried his best to keep the baying Yappies happy, Sharks awarded 10pens, Chiefs awarded 6.
as for the “missed YC’s”, did you enjoy the prop, Chadwick, entering the ruck from the side and tackling the Chief player when the ball wasnt even out of the ruck yet ? thats a professional foul, on 2 accounts.
almost as dumb as the senseless Skinstad calling Masagas hit on Mvovo “a coconut tackle”. Being the 2nd Yappie commentator to use the racist term over the years. Taking a wee bit of time to ‘adjust’, arent we boys.
Probably hasnt been reported in Yappieland, no doubt theyre more focussed on those “missed YCs” for the opposition.
23 Apr 2012, 07:39 am
@PrickBoks going South(PrickBoks going South)-577: Explain “coconut tackle”Never heard of it. As for the gameThe sharks set up better opportunities but did not finish. The last try of the Chiefs hardly makes them superior. I was surprised how mediocre the Chief;s pack looked.i EXPECTED MORE. As for the ref :IMO the best ref of the weekend.However I dont envy the refs. TOO MANY RULES.!
You answer the YC with a different qouestion so you are not giving your opinion on that issue. In the Chadwick case ,The ref had called ball out(Do i have the right one?)
23 Apr 2012, 07:48 am
Sharkies out of it – if you cant win your home games , you aint in this comp.
