@munkiboi-22: They could end 3rd and Wp could still play relegation.

I dont see the point. it is not like they’ve got a shot at making the playoffs. why bring them back for a one off?

@BrumbiesBoy-20: My apologies, score was 24-18 (Bladdy Agent Freek Burger (WP) was the referee!!) Ja, Jannie the Gentleman, such a good oke & hard as nails, those tears he shed that day were also some of mine!

@Tjokker-18: 24-12 I'm sure! Remember a try was only worth four points in those days. Will try verify that score...

Eish Tjokker; even if you didn’t support Tvl you had to feel sorry for Breedt that day. But I agree about Morne. He needs a few games with reduced pressure and maybe a kicking coach he trusts to see if he can get his mojo back. I don’t see why he shouldn’t cover flyhalf and fullback a la Percy. But he needs to understand, like Perce, that he’s in the team to goal his kicks.

#2 – Morne can only get his confidence back if he plays. I do agree that he needs the rest.

#6 – “That” day was 25 years ago! Final score was 21 – 17. Transvaal scored twice, Hempas Rademeyer and Schalk Naude. Poor Jannie Breedt earned his nick name Sannie that day because he cried during the interview. He was a real gentleman , on and off the field. Could not say the same about my captain.

#16 – Spoke to an ex Lions player yesterday. The Lions will have no mercy or simpathy for the Bulls because IF they can qualify for the play-offs, they may play each other and the Bulls has a too good for comfort record at Coco-Cola Park. Think it will be a Sharks – Lions final.

Well i for one hopes MOrne finds form as there is no doubt he will be playing come end of the year tour.

I know i would rather have Lambie there as he offers more in overall play, but I also know thaT AINT GONNA HAPPEN

but Ackerman is not afraid, because he will be playing all of his Springboks too, haha, the game is actually of no value to the Lions if the Sharks beat the Griquas Friday night, but after that piss poor peformance against griquas, not sure whats going to happen on Saturday

This is bs! No blue boks should be playing against the leos. How will they manage to defend their title?

@John Galt-11: Rumors of a few decent surprise signings for the Kings being released soon.........

@John Galt-11:

He’d be most welcome. We must bring back Jacques and Dewald Potgieter as well…

Also looks like JJ Egelbrecht might be jumping ship as well.
Kings are after him.

Morne should only touch a rugby ball next year during the Super season. Give the guy the extended break he obviously needs.

Apparently the Bulls’ coach said ” he also realised that their inclusions could threaten the cohesion of the team.” Best laughline of the week! What cohesion?
Without the Boks this multi-talentless coach sits with a bunch of players who could barely hold their own at club level.

Surely all concerned should just let Morne go and enjoy the rest of the year with his wife and baby.

Not a fan, but surely his burnout is evident for all to see.

Whatever happens I would hate to see a repeat of the 1987 Currie Cup Final which was held on this ground.

It rained badly that day and a certain HE Botha kicked all Northern Transvaal’s points in their 24-12 win…four penalties & four drops.

Sniff, sniff!

Only good thing about that day was that I was so high up in the stands we never got wet…
