Duane Vermeulen is out of the June Tests. Stormers strong man Duane Vermeulen returned home from the Stormers Super Rugby tour because of injury and conservatively won't play again until July. It could be that he is out for the remainder of the Super Rugby season as well because of knee ligament damage. Stormers loose-forward Rynhardt Elstadt is also out for at least six weeks as the Cape-based franchise's season went from bad to worse in Sydney. Vermeulen, Meyer's first choice No 8, will be nursed back to action for the Rugby Championship in August. His injury means a likely Bok start ... Read Article19 May 2013
GREGOR PAUL, in the Herald on Sunday, writes world rugby will get its integrated season after the 2015 World Cup and Super Rugby won't break to accommodate an international window. Super Rugby will shift to a March start and won't break for test matches, the June window will be shifted to July and all players will have a 14 to 16-week off-season. Other innovative plans are being discussed, such as building a world series of tests in years that fall between the World Cup and British Lions tours. The revolution that All Black coach Steve Hansen called for last week is coming. The players ... Read Article25 Apr 2013
Jan Serfontein, the player of last year's under 20 World Championship, will head the baby Boks defence in France. Serfontein and Kings wing Sergeal Petersen are two Super Rugby regulars to make Dawie Theron's squad and brilliant flyhalf Handre Pollard is another to play in a second successive tournament. Theron's squad lost a three-match series 2-1 to Argentina in Argentina. Serfontein, Petersen and Western Province's Cheslin Kolbe did not play in those matches. Bulls loose forward Ruan Steenkamp is captain. Serfontein and Pollard are the only two squad members from last year's ... Read Article14 May 2013
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has selected several uncapped Blues players in his training group. Hansen confirmed 38 names and this included many from the potent Blues backline. The Highlanders, despite only winning one match in this year's Super Rugby competition, have six players in the group. An obvious area of weakness is at hooker where Hansen has selected veterans Andrew Hore and Keven Mealamu and Canes Dane Coles. Options are limited and it certainly is a concern for New Zealanders. No overseas-based players were considered, as it is NZRFU policy. Among the uncapped players ... Read Article15 May 2013
French coach Philipe Saint-Andre has included three South African-born players for the three-Test series against the All Blacks in New Zealand. Racing Metro flank Bernard le Roux and Clermont prop Daniel Kotze join Antonie Claassen in a squad that includes eight new caps. Fijian-born Clermont winger Noa Nakaitaci is among the newcomers. Saint-Andre has rested flyhalf Francois Trinh-Duc, but included Toulon's Frederic Michalak. France play world champions New Zealand on June 8, 15 and 22 in Auckland, Hamilton and New Plymouth respectively. French super club Toulon's foreign dominance ... Read Article5 Mar 2013
MARK KEOHANE writes the Varsity Cup in its first year rocked. Since then it's just another professional tournament. The Varsity Cup may have the innovation of doing a few things differently, but what was supposed to be a celebration of student rugby somehow just seems like another tournament, in which the traditional power houses remain the traditional strengths in the tournament. Much has been made of the Port Elizabeth-based Nelson Mandela University display this season and equally there has been bewilderment at how poor Shimlas have been. But it seems the old one two of Stellenbosch University ... Read Article12 May 2013
Marcus Watson scored in extra time to beat the Blitzbokke in the London World Series Sevens Cup quarter-finals. The teams were level 14-all at full time. Watson's try came four minutes into extra time. England won 19-14. England had the chance to win the match with the last play of the game in normal time. They were awarded a penalty and opted to take a drop kick for goal. It missed. Watson then rounded off a move after England had retained possession for two minutes. South Africa suffered further embarrassment when they lost for a second time in the tournament to the USA and were eliminated ... Read Article8 Jan 2013
Limpopo will play in the Vodacom Cup as a separate side for the first time this year. The region, which is a sub-union of the Blue Bulls Rugby Union, has been granted a place in the tournament in its own rights to help foster rugby in South Africa’s far north. They join the 14 provincial unions as well as the returning Pampas XV from Argentina in the tournament, which kicks off in the second week of March and concludes in mid-May. The Polokwane-based Limpopo team will play in the North Section of the competition, along with the Blue Bulls, Golden Lions, Griffons, Leopards, Pumas, Valke ... Read Article7 Sep 2012

if you scientists will go out and study your so called science of evolution and natural selection that you supposed to be fundi’s on.. you will NOTICE.. that every action has an equal or opposite reaction.. that a propelled force will deliver equal and opposite force to its propulsion .. and that if nature designs a naturally selected criterion for a specific body to develop or evolve certain reactionary consequences to enable its survival and existence it will naturally select its evolutionary tendencies..
hence puff adders develop poisonous fangs.. saber toothed tigers develop extended fangs… great white sharks develop savage flesh eating jaws… and tarantulas and scorpions develop poisonous claws and stings in their tails.. etc.. and etc.. and etc…
so IF you reckon you are human by some randomly selected fluke of nature.. you are WRONG .. you have EARNED the right to occupy this human frame.. but only insofar as you EARN the capacity to utilize it for the purpose it has been developed for or bestowed on you.
ask any philosopher, prophet, avatar, mystic, or clairvoyant and they’ll confirm it for you..
but of course you dumb quantum theorist materialists don’t know the first real thing about what is actually relevant ‘science’ .. do you?

Depends entirely what the fk you want to be talking about: science or pseudo-science mumbo jumbo?
Consevation of energy (first law of thermodynamics) describes your pinball, the viper a biological organism is forged by the law of evolution by natural selection, ‘natural’, not intelligent or magical. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction is newtons way of describing moving bodies kinematics. You sow what you reap is is from one of tge most venerated collection of fairy rales ever told, the bible. In the old testament wriiten by your forebears there is the god of the old testament who believed in am eye for an eye but in the newer version turns the other cheek.

@Jinx2-285: Here’s a true story. I left university and hitchhiked around Europe. I saved up enough money to visit my beloved Elland Road for the first time. This was in the skinhead hooligan pomp and glory – Leeds & Milwall ruling the roost.
So in truth I am kak bang that someone is going to knife me or kick me to death with their bovver boots.
I am almost broke. But I buy the MOST expensive tickets available.
And sit with the paraplegics.
Who were just as foul mouthed, aggressive and nasty as their able-bodied bretheren. Scared the **** out of me.
Blackburn.0-0.

@Heavens Game-272: ask Darwin .. he’ll tell you what the fck the platypus propelled itself to rek its bek to such extent.. failing which ask Edgar Cayce.. Rudolph Steiner.. or any other relatively waked up scientist who actually has some inkling around wtf life is actually about…
According to mainstream evolutionary theory, the origin and evolution of life are the result of random physicochemical processes. The first living organisms are said to have arisen by chance in the primeval oceans and to have gradually evolved towards greater complexity and diversity through random genetic mutations, with the least well-adapted variations being weeded out by natural selection.
All this is taught nowadays as though it embodied proven unquestionable facts, but in reality it is little more than a dogma, dogma that has come to be fossilized in our educational system.

@fitz1ella-297:
The Heisenberg uncertainty principle is in part an embodiment of the idea that in the quantum world, the mere act of observing an event changes it.
But the idea had never been put to the test, and a team writing in Physical Review Letters says “weak measurements” prove the rule was never quite right.
That could play havoc with “uncrackable codes” of quantum cryptography.
Quantum mechanics has since its very inception raised a great many philosophical and metaphysical debates about the nature of nature itself.
Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, as it came to be known later, started as an assertion that when trying to measure one aspect of a particle precisely, say its position, experimenters would necessarily “blur out” the precision in its speed.
That raised the spectre of a physical world whose nature was, beyond some fundamental level, unknowable.
