ABs set for Read boost
10 Aug 2012
Kieran Read is confident that he’ll recover from his rib injury in time for the All Blacks’ Rugby Championship opener against the Wallabies next Saturday.
The No 8 missed the Crusaders’ final three matches of their Super Rugby campaign because rib damaged cartilage. However, he confirmed that he should be fit as he joined his All Black team-mates at training in Waitakere on Friday.
‘They’re [the ribs] feeling really good, I haven’t pushed them yet and not a lot of contact, so I’ll just have to see how they pull up next week but feeling really good at the moment,’ Read told the media.
Lock Luke Romano is still an injury concern as he hurt his shoulder in the Super Rugby semi-final. Head coach Steve Hansen will be hoping the second-rower will recover in time as he is the third specialist lock in the squad.
Meanwhile, the All Blacks are yet to confirm Sonny Bill Williams’ availability for selection. The NZRU are trying to sort out a short-term deal with his new Japanese club Panasonic Wild Knights, which will allow him to play in Sydney and the return match against the Wallabies in Auckland a week later.

Now, you put it really well.
“i don’t think it is worth carrying on about (it) elke fo.kken dag… ‘
These fukkers make us all look like squealers and I don’t think we are all like that. Pity they don’t realise that they are actually portraying a whole country as a bunch of squealers.

Can’t see WP beating the Sharkies today. Really, the team that AC and Fleckie selected for this game????
As a WP supporter, I can’t see how we can beat them.
PS: At least it will bring old HG back to this site.
BOOM!!!

@Jeraldjay-245: that or they are serial philanderers that would give zuma a run for his money…
don’t get how one is romanticised and the other deplored – not necessarily by you.

well, first page of this thread says it all
wait for it has finally had the mental breakdown, and all he has done is highlight how poor saffas are when they lose. before the super rugby final he admired the chiefs, and now they are cheats?
also, his attacks on Read, imagine if I had. called Saffa players fijlthy scum? without ever.meeting them?
why has no saffa told him to pull his head in? he is more repetitive then me, but it’s ok to call kiwis filthy scum huh?
shall I call all saffas rapists? seems this would be frowned upon, but you all remain silent when Houston has a problem
cool, glad I understand that saffas are the biggest hypocrites ever.
11 Aug 2012, 03:44 am
@wait for it, wait for it…-152: the blind and ignorant the truth shall set you free?
and then you attack me you sad, raping mofo?
anytime you want son, you are absolutely pathetic, and colour ALL saffas with the same brush..
seems the conspriacy has combined with your syphillis and is slowly eating away at the little morsel you like to call a brain..
regale us again about filthy scum kiwis, how they cheat etc etc ad nauseam..
seriously, I now understand why Saffas needed black armbands, if this is the level of crying one reaches..

@260 the idiot HG will be back. The big mouth went missing in action after the lions beat his pet fish. By the way his comrade Fern once vowed to never post here again after being caught out making inappropriate comments about another blogger’s daughters. Needless to say, he was soon seen back in these parts. Spineless

Katman lost his marbles when Xhosakid mentioned the high suicide rate amongst whites in SA.I really would not waste my energy on Katters Pops.

@poppa69-269: Was this one for rowing a boat or riding a horse?
How many have you won in real sports?
11 Aug 2012, 15:53 pm
@Jeraldjay-275: He allegedly sent sms messages to Dale Steyn and another Proteas player moaning about Flower and Strauss. Now the Pom management want to know the content of these sms’s before they announce their team.

@stormerforlife1-278: Every time you post that you end up looking like a dribbling halfwit. It’s not even original.

@>^..^< katman-279: Do you prefer a gun or a rope Katters?What is the most favourite method amongst your people?Percentages will do.
11 Aug 2012, 16:19 pm
@stormerforlife1-281: I’d take my chances in the one in 800 000 or whatever the suicide stats are for white males over the stats for your people getting fcked on tik and sodomising the neighbour’s dog. Those odds are pretty unflattering, to say the least.
Do they consider it kinky to do it human style?
11 Aug 2012, 16:25 pm
@Jeraldjay-275:
Twitter once again. Saw the story on news24.
11 Aug 2012, 16:30 pm
Maybe they do,but please just leave your boy and wife alone buddy.They are innocent ….and your boy love going to Lions matches.OH yeah,afrikaner white males like fcking their own daughters as well as molesting little boys.I guess Herr Fritzl is a a role-model for you okes ne?I hope you don’t have a daughter Katters…i certainly hope so.
11 Aug 2012, 16:31 pm
@>^..^< katman-282: do you find it kinky fcking your own daughter?
11 Aug 2012, 16:32 pm
Gam scum rearing it’s toothless head here. I guess we couldn’t keep Lavender Hill out forever.

@>^..^< katman-286:
C’mon guys theres no need for this kind of talk on here.
Both of you grow up and stop this racial nonsense
11 Aug 2012, 16:38 pm
There is no white nation in South Africa, only the Afrikaner nation. …. out on farms, where they drink brandy, torture natives, and practice incest.
Above from a book i am currently reading.
11 Aug 2012, 16:42 pm
@IAAS-287: Why don’t you go fck yourself!It’s ok for Katters to make derogatory remarks about coloureds but you blow a gasket when i open the door and expose white afrikaners own sick skeletons?
11 Aug 2012, 16:45 pm
It’s a well-known fact that the Afrikaner race engages into incest as a form of preserving their pure race.What is so wrong about that?The blood of Herr Fritzl also partially runs through their veins.Nothing wrong about that either.
11 Aug 2012, 16:49 pm
Lavender Hill?Bwaaaah!! I am living the good life here in Europe.Will be on my way to Berlin next weekend to see if the Germans also have this Afrikaner incest affliction
11 Aug 2012, 16:58 pm
what dos the good life in europe entail?
enlighten me please
11 Aug 2012, 18:06 pm
sheesh… people…
there’s really no need for such appalling posts…
you’re both letting down whoever it is you think you represent…
even if it is only yourselves…
11 Aug 2012, 22:50 pm
That piece of filth is gone. Good riddance.
12 Aug 2012, 12:57 pm
@>^..^< katman-276:
Its the Olympics. May not be a sport what you like but it is still in the Olympics.
Rowing is not an easy sport to do. Dont need to be an idiot cos your team didnt do as good as the Kiwis in the Olympics. But i wont sit here like you and down grade your guys sfforts at the Olympics.
I thought South Africa did good. Does not matter what sport they won in, mighty effort for individuals to get there. Bit of respect from yourself would be nice, dont think you ever made it in sport let alone those non real sports.
13 Aug 2012, 02:06 am
@wait for it, wait for it…-1: Of course you are the wise old twerp of SA rugby, not just one-eyed but blind to boot, I have never seen a Bok Team who could play the game ‘CLEAN’ so go build yourself a bridge and get over it….
