@grant10-1: Holy moly….where did you disappear to buddy ? Sharks klapping your boys 3 times in a row (twice at Newlands) too much for you ?

louis shreuder starting, let’s what he can do!

I hope Siyabonga Ntubeni gets at least 40 minutes of gametime. He was the best forward on the field for the 40 min he played against Griquas.

Lions gonna be playing like demons, they want to impress their future employer

@Transformation-3: Fourie still starting. We don’t need to see what he can do. I suspect vokkol. Did you see Ntubeni made the team of the week on R365? AC persists with a hooker *** flank *** 8th man, whose useless at all 3.

Yeah the team is looking much better, after we sneaked out of kimberley with a win I am expecting us to take the lions this weekend.
We just missing Elstadt

@willievz-9: Hell no!!!! I think him, duvenhage and pietersen are not good enough. Their performances in this years S15 confirm my sentiments.

Hey guys… Just read on R365 that deon fourie is maybe off to toulon at the end of the currie-cup… Something bout needing a new venture… Bt any 1 would accept a multi mill contract I say!!!

Its a pity that Scarra can’t get a start and Deon plays flank. Scarra had a good second half but we need to see more of him against tougher ops. His throwing in was alot beta than Deons. His size concerns me but we will have to wait and see.
JP du Plesis was starting to look good and he needs game time b4 the Super 15. Was an absolute machine at craven week level.
Arendse looked good on the wing, he also looks like he has a bit of size on him which is good, Gio,Joe,JDJ all very small, perhaps thats what our backline lacks.
Don Armandt has done a decent job at lock and seems to be a real work horse, pity Quin Roux isnt around.
Glad that Schreuder is getting another start, not sure if Duvies is the answer but it helps that he has heaps of experience now. Not sure who is the beta 9, Groom or Schreuder??? Groom has alot of dog in him which is good.
Another positive is Tim Swiel in the u21 side, kids u19 and he looked very good last week against the cheetahs, Gary van and Tim will be the answer at 10 for us, Grant is to limited.

@xtremebull-13:
Just seen that 2, its a pity as Deon cover alot of positions and has been in the side for awhile now.
However his scrumming and throwing in have never been that good and we not going to win big matches if you cant win 1st phase ball.
Scarra needs to start now seeing as tho Deon is leaving, if Tiaan gets injured then we stuffed.
Maybe its time to get Callie Visagie back or even a Maku??

If I’m not mistaken the likes of callie and elton is on their way to stormers just for the duration of the superrugby next year… And maybe we will get taute for the same period… But the rumour need 2 be confirmed first…

Our lentil munching Bok-coach-in-waiting is going to pop a vein in his a-ss if he hears that
