Does it even matter? We will take Italy by a significant margin then narrowly lose to the Poms after a “strong and determined” effort. The players will be praised for their”heart and never say die attitude” and how they will be stars of the future. Maybe we can expect the “the team is in a building phase bullsh#t” or the “we did not play to the ref’s interpretation of the laws”. The fact however will remain that we will have lost to lowly Ireland and England. Another disappointing campaign for the Baby Boks, bring back P Divvy!

@Hurricane(Hurricane)-87: Some people stir for the sake of stirring, some are very funny doing it and others just a miserable fail! But yes, there are Saffas all over the world and a myriad of reasons why they moved. Same with Kiwis and Aussies, some go back home, some never does...it is the way it is. Got some pictures from RP and it looked damn cold!

@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-84:
True, but lets not be blind like Fern.
South Africans immigrate to OZ and NZ.
Kiwis immigrate to OZ, hardly any go to South Africa to live.
Suppose we are missing out on something there but its just the way i see it.

Yeah about the rebuild, you are correct. Its still shaking a wee bit here.
Just last week we had 5.3 quake that sort of got people on edge again. Of course the weather has been a bit cold of late, with snow 2 days ago disrupting businesses etc. But snow season has started now so there are a few happy people

@bryce_in_oz(bryce_in_oz)-85: I know that but plenty of Saffas enter Oz on skilled visas straight off, ultimately a large number of them do come through the errr back door (read NZ)...

@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-84: NZ is the easier gateway to Aus for South African, Indian and Chinese with tougher immigration laws here (in Aus) every year...

@Hurricane(Hurricane)-83: Aish boet, I get your point but I will be surprised if the number of Saffas to NZ exceed the number to Oz...shake a tree anywhere in OZ and a few Saffas fall out! My understanding on the rebuilding is that it is hard and will maintain to be hard until everything stop shaking...so to speak. For any person not living in or close to the area commenting on it reflects poorly on the sod doing it. trying to score cheap points with it is probably not worth the effort...

@lost in translation(lost in translation)-63: Get of the internet loser. Keo puts his site for international users, not for just moaning bok supporters. If he catered for only Boks supporters all the heading would be about refs, eye gouging and biting . @Fern is not a stud,he is merely no19(Fern)-73: LIke South African born are now playing in NZ Super 15 teams. You are so fast to point out how many kiwis are moving to OZ but you seem to miss that more South Africans are moving to NZ and OZ. You have once again made a fool of yourself, commenting on a country your really have no clue about and probably just google. Seen as i live in Christchurch, i will tell you about the rebuild. It is happening as we speak. I really dont know where you get your info from. New town areas are getting built, new shops and houses as well as the 100,000 houses that need repairs. Dude, your comments are like childish at best.

@sharks_lover(sharks_lover)-76: why are you so defensive?, in the 90's and early 2000's kids wouldn't touch an EP or Border contract for cricket, but since the Franchise system started, now cricket kids don't any contract other than from the Warriors, which is now the Franchise with the most Proteas, see how easy Franchise sport has changed the cricket scene? Do you think any of Lonwabo Tsotsobe, Colin Ingram, Rusty Theron, Johan Botha, Aswell Prince, Wayne Parnell, Ntini still be playing in the EC if it wasn't for Franchise cricket, evening attracting Jacques Kallis and Boucher to go and play in the Eastern Province, do you think any would have stayed at Border or EP?, don't be daft old chap, none of these would touch the Dolphins for shyyytte, and that's excatly what will happen to the Sharks

Here is another example, Pollard of Paarl was said to be going to the Bulls, well a press release on him was made by his father where he stated that HE had not decided yet and the chance was good that his son could be going to the Sharks as both unions had made a good offer for his child

@XhosaKid(XhosaKid)-74: PLay WP, Bulls, Sharks?? or Border or EP?? trust me dude no competition KIds where ever they are will go where they fell they can have a future and where they have the best chance of going into the top ranks of the sport

sharks_lover(sharks_lover) — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 14:25:34 +0000

You Gotta laugh at the **** Spoken by some in here,

Ok so Border schools for example have the first opportunity to make an offer for one of its scholars, one must remember it is still the parents right to say yay or nay

Also uhm this little cry about over aged players in the Sharks union at schools, all happen to be kids from the Eastern Cape region, so in future the cheats about their age will stay in the Eastern Cape?? now that aint a bad thing

I’m just excited that when the Kings get Super Rugby money and proper Corporate Sponsorships for 5 years in row, the kids who are currently in Grade 7 at Grey, Selborne, Dale, Framesby, Dan Pienaar, Queens, St Andrews, Kingswood, Graeme, the inland schools like Union, Cradock, Aliwal etc etc will now have a real choice of where to pursue their careers, right now they don’t have a choice, simply economics dictates so.

Now the likes of Keegan Daniels , Ryan Kankowski, Lwazi Mvovo, Tim Whitehead, Dewald Potgieter, Bjorn Basson, Odwa/Akhona Ndungane, Sibusiso Sithole, etc etc, would have a choice of whether to leave or not leave EC

well watching the migration trend of kiwis to oz,their stagnant economy,rebuild of chch not happening etc the all black side will in a decade most prob be made up of immigrants and very few indiginous kiwis and the oz. side will have lots of kiwi born players in their team.
