Jean to face Cheetahs
4 May 2012
Jean de Villiers has been cleared of his wrist injury and will be available for the Stormers’ next game against the Cheetahs.
Stormers coach Allister Coetzee has also confirmed that Gio Aplon (hamstring), Eben Etzebeth (shoulder) and Andries Bekker (back), have recovered from their injuries and will be available for next week’s match.
However, Schalk Burger, Duane Vermeulen and Nick Koster won’t be available for the next four matches. Coetzee hopes that the three loose forwards will be fit by 30 June when the Super Rugby competition recommences after a break for international matches.

You might have scared her off yesterday with your talk about bra sizes and so on. No surprise that she has gone awol.Saffer girls are quite often shy

The Bulls supporters are in touch with their emotional side. It’s just the envious one.

@Sasuke(Sasuke)-51:
We’ve got Vermeulen and Koster as 8s and I was wondering who could cover if either was injured considering my idea that Carr should specialise at 6.

The Bulls have surprised me this year- if they can get 3 out of 4 on the tour we are going to be in trouble. In order to win the comp it is vital to end first or at least to win the SA conference and get a home semi.
Go Waratahs

@Robzim(Robzim)-57:
They’ve surprised me as well, but I doubt whether they’ll get more than 2/4.

@David(David)-58:
Lets hope they beat the Chiefs and lose the other two matches with no bonus points. It will be ideal for us.
Personally I think the Crusaders are going to be very dangerous at the business end of the competition- Carter and McCaw will probably be back on form by then. In NZ they will probably be just about unbeatable.

@Caper(Caper)-60:
Yip, that team should have too much guns for the cheetahs next week- must push for the bonus, lets hope it does not rain at newlands.

@Robzim(Robzim)-59:
I reckon they’ll lose against the Chiefs and Crusaders with the Reds a 50/50 call. Personally, I backed the Chiefs as the winners at the beginning of the season.
Anyway, I need to go. Cheers Rob.

Not like anything you would see in Cape Town!
WRS cottoned onto them recently and it appears they are playing at a local festival, I thik after a performance like your clip we may have to go!!
How would you describe the sound – Folk Rock?
4 May 2012, 21:48 pm
@carol(carol)-67:
Hard to define- Indie- Folk rock maybe?
WRS has great taste. Not only in music…

Eben Etsebeth on TV with Toks van der Linde and Breyten Paulse.
Now where is Stormersboy and UFO?
4 May 2012, 21:53 pm
Where????????????
4 May 2012, 22:00 pm
@Dawn(Dawn)-70:
Its finished now- it was some random programme on TV 2 i think.
My daughter (18) who knows nothing about rugby looked briefly up from her blackberry chat and only said 3 words about Eben
The words were : ” He is HOT!”
4 May 2012, 22:12 pm
And you call for ufo and stormersboy.
You call me!
4 May 2012, 22:15 pm
@Robzim(Robzim)-71:
Should I google him?
@Dawn(Dawn)-72:
Am I missing something?
4 May 2012, 22:20 pm
He’s a stormer. Sure you wanna google him?
4 May 2012, 22:21 pm
@Dawn(Dawn)-72:
Sorry Dawn.
I thought you only like Bulls
Next time you will be the first one I call
4 May 2012, 22:24 pm
@Dawn(Dawn)-74:
You tell her!
She is also a bit confused (like you) – therefore this love of the bulls.
I cannot understand what is wrong with my 2 favourite bloggers
4 May 2012, 22:25 pm
I am a bull “for the foreseeable future” but Eben is special
4 May 2012, 22:30 pm
WTF who cares if donkey faces them or not – the forwards are key ekse..
4 May 2012, 22:49 pm
you know when this type of thing happens (JDV comes back in a month instead of 2 or 3 months) it gives you false hope that players will recover sooner then they should. Happy he is back though
5 May 2012, 04:21 am
perhaps that wrist could do with a rest
5 May 2012, 07:37 am
and you would know hey doosie?
5 May 2012, 08:20 am
Go OVS!!!
Strauss and boys will be pump up for this one.
Oosthuizen Strauss Nel will target the scrum.
5 May 2012, 08:25 am
Gio Aplon needs to be a starting wing in the test side. makes things happen. very underrated at test level. How Nokwe got preferred ahead of him few years back, I will never know!!

Etzebeth,Aplon and Bekker to have far more of an impact than JdV imo.
5 May 2012, 13:26 pm
I presume wrist injuries have reached chronic levels in the Republic
