@mshiniwami-22: Shocking. And not even exciting colours like red, bright yellow or lime green either.

Wow…Out of 132 players (6 teams with 22 players)…there are only 18 players of colour

That’s 14%

The bulls have to pull finger now and win and with a bonus point if they are to qualify for the play-offs as this is just unacceptable they way they are playing,no disrespect to griekwas,but we should be beating them even in kimberely.

So, of the six 22 man teams, only 18 players of colour? Whatever happened the transformation targets?

On a positive note, 22 players have played for SA u20 in the last three world champs…

@katman-14: Latest rumour is that Jantjies has been made an offer by both WP/Stormers for permanent employment, while The Sharks and Lions have come to an agreement that Jantjies would play for Sharks during SR but would be available to the Lions for the CC and the relegation game against bottom placed team. It now depends on which dotted line Jantjies signs.

Ja well, most of it only expires in the minds of fans who love these rumours – in the meantime none of us really has the faintest clue what is happening and who will go where. It’s more “wishing” than anything else I suppose

@CharlesM-7: Howzit Charles, Yip those grass burns to the face are painful and will take awhile to heal. Will be great to see Jordaan and Whitehead back together playing. They were superb against the Reds. Not sure if we are favourites here Charles. Your Province are playing some very good rugby. Rain all day here so far, so that field gonna be wet as the same is forecast for tomorrow. Good luck to both our teams. But I have to say GO SHARKS! ... lol.

@goodstuff-8: Jordaan has not been getting injured every other week since jwc. He carried that hammie injury from jwc for awhile, it took a long time to heal. This is a grass burn on his face, could of happened to any player really. Grass burns on the knees and elbows take awhile to heal as well, the grass burn on the face will take longer. Might not even be ready for next weeks game. That is a shame as he and Tim together in the midfield are superb.

@Robzim-13: Like circling vultures trying to pick at every morsel. This scramble is about as dignified as those people who stop on the highway to collect the canned food spilled in an accident.

, kind of

According to Stephen Nell (he is mostly right) Catrakilles has signed for EP and speculations about counter offers are a waste of time. It is therefore imperative (imo) that WP contract Jantjes whatever it takes. Apparently they are also chasing Pat Cilliers and Michael Rhodes. The fact that they are trying to sign Rhodes makes me wonder if Schalk or even Koster are ever going to play again.

@CharlesM-7: I had a late night. It should read: Go Province !!

@katman-10: Those grass burns in the face take quite a while to heel properly (and are quite painful)

@CharlesM-7: Saw footage of him on Boots and All last night as he came off the field. Looked a right mess.

@goodstuff-8: In fairness to Plum. the latest injury was due to the surface of GWK park

@Puma-5: Jordaan needs more time to recover, getting injured every other week since u/20 WC, but what does Plumtree care?

By: CharlesM

CharlesM — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 09:05:06 +0000

@Puma-5: Hi Puma, according to today's Die Burger, Jordaan's face looks like a Kimberley Love Bite: quite an apt description. It will be a great combo (with Whitehead) when Jordaan can play again. I know the Sharks are the favourites, judging by the season's results. But I have to say: Go Stormers !!

@gunther-3: Geographically, that's as close as you'll get to Namibia without a passport.

Pity Jordaan is out for this game with a injury. Would have liked to have seen Paul and Tim back at centre with Bosman at fh. Will be very tough this game. Looks like rain for the whole day tomorrow as well. Could suit us, well it might.

Go Sharks!

Bulls by 8
Lions by 9
WP by 4
That’s my prediction
