Greyling cited for strike
15 Sep 2012
Springbok prop Dean Greyling has been cited for foul play following the Test in Dunedin on Saturday.
According to a statement from Sanzar, Greyling is alleged to have contravened Law 10.4 (a) Punching or Striking, when he made contact with All Blacks captain Richie McCaw with his arm in the 64th Minute of Saturday’s match.
Referee George Clancy spotted the infringement and proceeded to yellow-card Greyling. Upon further review of the match footage the citing commissioner deemed the incident had met the red card threshold for foul play.
Meanwhile, Bok coach Heyneke Meyer offered a public apology to McCaw.
‘I am very big on discipline and it is unacceptable,’ Meyer said. ‘I think it cost us the game as well.
‘I want to apologise to Richie and we will deal with it in-house, but it is unacceptable. We are a team that prides ourselves and you can’t afford these things in games.’

Greyling’s play was poor, and he capped it off with the cheap shot. Hopefully his days in a Bok jersey are numbered.

Idiot, hopefully will go and play overseas or something!

I want Greyling, the non-existent fullback and the Steyn creature as far away from a Springbok jersey as possible. They are nothing but trouble, inject lethal doses of poison into the Springbok system and revel in watching the whole unit collapse as a result of their stupidity.

Greyling was never Bok Material, so his citing is insignificant as he was never gonna be picked again, but with Meyer u just never know as illogical thinking is logical to him

4 penatlies
Stupid Punch, yello card
and drops the ball with the try line in site.
If ever i considered how you would throw a rugby match for the bookies, i witnessed it first hand, and how long was he on for?
what a complete brain ****.
i hope he never plays for the boks again.

I think you will find that any team playing against RSA next would be desperate to play against this rsole! He would gift them a half at least.
As a Saffer – I hope he is banned for life.

I hope Heyneke sits between Greyling and Morne on the plane on the way home and Heyneke is in their ear for 13 hours solid.

HM why did you take off beast for greyling was he injured or fatigued or playing badly? none of the above ………..greyling was a great impact player for the ABs
15 Sep 2012, 16:00 pm
Greyling should only be cited for not smashing him!
15 Sep 2012, 16:16 pm
Meyer apologising to Richie is cringeworthy. You didn’t hear Graham Henry apologising to any of the players his team tried to injure and Declan Kidney didn’t apologise when Heaslip dropped a knee on McCaw for cheating.

Greyling is a thug and if his form in the Super 15 was anything to go by what was he doing there in the first place?? No doubt he will get exactly what he deserves a guilty verdict!
15 Sep 2012, 16:40 pm
@Big Hit
There is absolutely nothing cringe worthy about it. If nothing else its saying to the players – “Dont expect my backing if you gna behave like a thug”. And thats a message the players need to get.
15 Sep 2012, 16:56 pm
I don’t understand what Heyneke is saying. These are his selections. So are we saying that he does not know his players. Last game it was Etzebeth, this game it was Greyling. Someone is telling these okes to target key players like Sharpe and Mccaw. I don’t blame the players. I’ve never seen Etzebeth do what he did even at provincial matches. He is normally only focused on what he needs to do. The coaches are the ones who are trying to make him into a Bakkies Botha.

Can the commissioner cite Morne for his rubbish game too? I hope so.
15 Sep 2012, 17:07 pm
@katman-14:
Investigate morning for match fixing or at least call him a quota.
15 Sep 2012, 17:07 pm
you also missed that it was Greyling who missed the tackle on Smith for his try. So all in, he gave away 4 penalties, got yellow carded, dropped a ball with the line at his mercy, conceded a try and his last penalty cost the Boks a losing bonus point.
Some guys won’t have that kind of record in a Test season. he did it all in 20 minutes.
15 Sep 2012, 17:10 pm
This d ick must be banned from rugby for being a d umbass.
And moron and nick nacks must never see the inside of a stadium in a rugby jersey again. Morne was always a stop gap. He never ever was going to take the bok game to the next level. Ever
Heyneke must wake the f up. You cannot be so ignorant. Hope the press gives it to him when he returns home

KEO
I’d pay good money to see you as part of the panel on SuperSport. It would be funny.
15 Sep 2012, 17:20 pm
The Beast conceded a 3 pointer in front of the poles last week and got carded for a moronic ‘tackle” on one of the Wallabies. So this bloke probably thought if the beast can do it he can do it better. He certainly succeeded.
15 Sep 2012, 17:33 pm
If Greyling gets 3 months, we should appeal that decision.
And ask for at least 6 months.
15 Sep 2012, 17:44 pm
Who cares?
15 Sep 2012, 17:50 pm
@Kietzphat-20: Lol
15 Sep 2012, 17:53 pm
@GreenFan-12: I actually admire Meyer for coming out and saying this. The one thing I will give him credit for.

Surprised the AB’s didn’t push for him to be man of the match. He went flat out to ensure he was a contender.
15 Sep 2012, 18:04 pm
How k a k is the flight home going to be for Greyling?
Oh hang on. I suppose at least Kirchner and Steyn will talk to him.
After all, misery does love company.

Don’t worry the coming out part makes sense though…
15 Sep 2012, 18:09 pm
@Vetkoek-27:
For Greyling the flight home will seem like 3 days. He’ll be looking at that flight path every 5 minutes.

Chinungers burning Japanese cars as we speak shambles.

Ok, time for a pop quiz: Guess who posted this after the Bok/England test at Ellis Park?
“Maybe this can shut up the doubters… But I doubt it… Because the doubters, especially on Keo are just plain stoopid.
Well done Boks… And HM…
Knowledgeable, Proud and Honest fans can see glory portals of where he wants the Boks to be… And it looks frighteningly, ominously good….”

Hopefully they will put him in the cattleclass right at the back next to the toilets.

Dog food, all we are going to hear now is coulda shoulda woulda, coulda shoulda woulda is never good enough.

No ways. He will have changed his tune by now.

@NZINCHINA-35: We told them….but because it was coming from Stormer/WP fans, our warnings and concerns were ridiculed, spat on and tossed out.
By now it should only be the criminally insane who still believe.
@Gumboots-36:
Instead of grounding or punishing your kids/staff – send them to watch a game at Loftus.
@I am a stormer-37: Oh she has I reckon. Waiting for her to be lowered onto the blog sitting astride a giant glitter ball if the Sharks manage to beat WP.
15 Sep 2012, 18:35 pm
Meyer will dine out on this, we were the better team I didn’t break any Motorola.walkie talkies and if Dean had kept his anteater in his trousers we’d only have lost by 3.
15 Sep 2012, 18:37 pm
@NZINCHINA-39: He is in for a rather rude homecoming, so unless he isolates himself in a bubble, his sh y te is about to get real.
15 Sep 2012, 18:44 pm
F uck him be broke the cardinal rule of rugby
Ritchie must not be touched, Greyling will be lynched by the Pretoria KKK.
15 Sep 2012, 18:50 pm
I still say dumb fuckk; Must never represent SA again. Lost in the news blitz is the non appearance of poor Juan de Jongh, treated like a 1990s quota

@SAfan4life-18: Nick’s there. He’s quality. SuperSport’s bosses and I don’t share Xmas invites.

Keo you on the Charles tonight?
15 Sep 2012, 19:02 pm
Greyling the prick gifted the enemy 3 easy in front of the poles and missed the tackle on Smith when he went in under the poles for a try. Fuc king idiot should be banned for life!
15 Sep 2012, 19:03 pm
He’ll be voted NZ player of the year, Paddy slipped him a hong bao.
