Currie Cup preview (Play-offs)
19 Oct 2012
GARETH DUNCAN analyses this weekend’s play-offs.
SEMI-FINALS
SHARKS vs BLUE BULLS, DURBAN, SAT 16:30
These two teams have enjoyed the returns of several Springboks, which contributed to their wins last weekend. However, I think John Plumtree’s management of his Test players will be key in what happens at Kings Park.
Plumtree learnt a hard lesson in last year’s final at Ellis Park as his fatigued Boks, who had returned from the World Cup a fortnight before, were rushed into the starting XV and failed to make an impact. The Lions won that title decider 42-16.
However, this year, the Kiwi coach has eased his Test players back into the team and has rewarded the others who made telling contributions to the Sharks’ run to the top of log with starting spots.
The Sharks have the best backline in the competition, and they have an in-form, young halfback pair in Cobus Reinach and Pat Lambie to spearhead them. The hosts also have a strong pack, and the returns of tighthead prop Jannie du Plessis and flank Marcell Coetzee are valuable promotions to the forwards this weekend.
The Bulls have a near-Super Rugby strength side available, but they can’t afford the start they experienced against the Lions. They’re facing the Sharks, who are the best attacking team of the competition and boast the best defensive record.
The Bulls will need to get early momentum, and this will depend heavily on their forwards and the performance of flyhalf Morné Steyn. Considering their poor domestic run this year, it would be a massive achievement.
However, the Sharks should be good enough to restrict the visitors and end their hopes of a fairytale turnaround in this year’s Currie Cup.

Gareth’s prediction: Sharks by 12
GOLDEN LIONS vs WP, JOHANNESBURG, SAT 19:00
Both teams will have fresh memories of the Lions’ 22-9 victory at Newlands a fortnight ago. But this will be a stronger Province team the Johannesburg union will be facing this weekend.
WP cruised to victory against the Cheetahs at home during the last league round, thanks to the return of their seven Springboks. The likes of Tiaan Liebenberg, Andries Bekker, Duane Vermeulen, Bryan Habana, Jean de Villiers and Juan de Jongh added much-needed grunt and bolstered the side.
However, the loss of De Villiers, Liebenberg and Bekker to injury will be telling. I don’t think Marcel Brache and De Kock Steenkamp are good enough to fill the gaps left by the players they’ve replaced. Siyabonga Ntubeni isn’t as imposing as Liebenberg, but he has impressed me during the Currie Cup this season and Allister Coetzee will hope the youngster does a good job on match day.
Province will need their heavies to front their battle as they come up against the strongest pack of the Currie Cup. The Lions rested the likes of JC Janse van Rensburg, Jacobie Adriaanse and Franco van der Merwe last weekend, and will come out firing at Ellis Park.
The strengths of the Lions have been their set-piece execution and their ability to slow down and poach ball at the breakdowns. If they can replicate that form this weekend, they’ll have the platform to beat WP.
Expect both flyhalves to play a vital role with the boot.

Gareth’s prediction: Lions by 5
PROMOTION-RELEGATION PLAY-OFF, 1ST LEG
FREE STATE CHEETAHS vs EP KINGS, BLOEMFONTEIN, FRI 19:10
Usually, Free State would’ve been the easy pick to win this contest.
But losing 13 first-choice players is an injury crisis most teams would struggle with. Their inconsistent form on the domestic stage this season is also a concern. However, they still have a team strong enough to beat the First Division champions at home.
Free State will target the forward battle. The return of flanker Lappies Labuschagne is a major boost for the loose trio, while Adriaan Strauss will be a key feature in the front row. If the hosts gain the ascendancy up front, their dangerous backline will cause some problems for EP.
The Kings have lost five players to injury over the last fortnight, with the big blows being in-form skipper Luke Watson and lock Darron Nell. The men from PE also struggled under pressure against a physical Pumas outfit last weekend, and they’ll face a stronger unit in the Cheetahs, who have some hard men up front.
Free State should win the first leg, but the interesting fixture will be the second play-off in PE next weekend.

@BrumbiesBoy-3:
i think the bulls will take it ugly.
sharkies definetly the form team and better on paper overall. they playing some good positive rugby mixing it up and are at home.
whereas the bulls been stop start and not as gelled together as the sharkies squad.
but my gut says they gonna hammer the sharkies right outta town.
19 Oct 2012, 08:19 am
Prob miss the EP vs Cheetas clash.. Work… Would have been perfect Friday unwinder & Saturday warmup!
19 Oct 2012, 08:21 am
In form skipper our client Luke Watson.
Cough.
19 Oct 2012, 08:23 am
Going to be an exciting weekend of rugby. I am backing the Sharks to go all the way. They will be tough to beat at home. But even though the Bulls had a reasonably poor Currie Cup, they always become a major threat when it comes to knock out rugby. They have been the most successful side when comes to playing in play-off games. So the Sharks certainly need to be wary of that.
I like the look of this Sharks side, certainly the best side we can field at the moment, the most exciting bit is the Sharks backline. With Reinach in sublime form and Lambie looking good at 10, it is going to be a great battle against Vermaak and Steyn. The most mouth watering prospect for me, and maybe it is just me, but the combination of Whitehead and Jordaan is an exciting one.
All in all its going to be great battle between two very good sides. cant wait!!!
GO SHARKS!!!!
19 Oct 2012, 08:29 am
The sharks are a circling.
~~~~~~~^~~~~~~^~~~~~~~
19 Oct 2012, 08:30 am
Sharks looks the best team at the moment. Can’t see anybody beating them in the next two games. Unless the opposing teams can offer something different than what has previously been the case.
19 Oct 2012, 08:31 am
@Fern-2: Province beating the guppies at the fish bowl would make my year. But don’t think it will happen.
19 Oct 2012, 08:34 am
Sharks already tasted defeat in a final once this year, and that would have hurt them, i am sure they dont want to go through that again. They will be motivated.
Go Sharks!!

@trupisero-10:
that looks like Plums ECG after the whistle goes for full time.
19 Oct 2012, 08:37 am
That’s quite a tough looking Sharks scrum with bench. Bulls will be machines if they pull this one out of the tank.
19 Oct 2012, 08:42 am
ahhh the pre match ritual
the animals strutting about
attempting to intimidate their rivals with shows of mock agression
feigning dominance through posture and loud grunts and growls
welcome to the jungle
watch the bulls bring you to your knees

19 Oct 2012, 08:44 am
Easy 2 beat the sharks : upset crybaby Lambie – he is good, but a few “jou ma se p’s” from J Potgieter will upset him….. Keegan is a hardegat – a walking yellow if he gets upset ….. give him a few klaps and Bulls will walk this

It’s called a choker…

@suffer_guy-19: Snotgieter is so thick he will probably give himself a PK.
Macguyver to screw his own team over once again.
19 Oct 2012, 08:48 am
@Andre_WP-17: Thats the problem with those teams – they can only watch space, not use it.
19 Oct 2012, 08:49 am
Damn I am chuffed the WP aren’t being given any chance at all. It makes a helluva pleasant change from being touted as ‘definites’ and ‘favourites’
Finally, we WP fans can sit back with zero expectations, no hope, no chance, no future an enjoy watching the ‘form teams’ and title hopefuls do their thing 
For the 1st time in a good few years – there is zero pressure (expectation) on our WP boys to actually win a playoff game…..fanbloodytastic

Kaplan is a BIG SHARK!!!!!
Lawrence : Decent Fair Ref
Jonker : always a upset when he is ref – wonder if he’s a betting man
Joubert : Always the home team
Other Quota Refs : f knows ….
19 Oct 2012, 08:51 am
i think the only thing that might keep the bulls in the game is the weather
looks like some rain might be around
regardless, the sharks are way too classy and skillful for the dom skop en jag bulle
if it stays dry, sharks by 15+
rain, sharks by 5

I will look at this as a s15 game.
which sharks player has been the thorn in the bulls side?
freddie M.
And he’s not there.
Bulls by 7
It appears to be too conviently forgotten that the bulls are the only side domestically to have beaten the sharks twice this year.
19 Oct 2012, 09:05 am
I really hope the TMO’s get the same footage we get at home when they make their decisions this weekend.
19 Oct 2012, 09:05 am
these matches are 50/50 calls.
It is simply on the day which team wants it the most, takes their chances and the bounce of the ball, and to a degree the refs handling of the game.

19 Oct 2012, 09:09 am
@John Galt-33: What you say is just not true.
Most of the WP faithful are hoping for, rather than expecting a win…..
The journos have no confidence in the WP.
The punters have no confidence in the WP.
Sigh – I guess we deserve this lack of faith, due to our playoff splattered recent history.
Had de Villiers, Bekker and Liebenberg been playing, it might have been a little different in terms of the ‘experts’ predictions, but they aren’t, and we have been firmly placed (along with the Bulls) in the nofuckinghopeinhell category.

19 Oct 2012, 09:12 am
@Brigadier Van Zyl-34: That would suit the WP, as we are the only side who have swatted you lot 3 times on the trot this year
19 Oct 2012, 09:12 am
@sharks_lover-37: and while we are talking about the past, don’t think the bools won a CC game at the tank since 2006….
19 Oct 2012, 09:13 am
Not to place to much expectancy on Lambie, but i certainly hope he can show Morne Steyn what playing at flyhalf is all about. Lambie Showed his hunger to play last week as HM had him on the bench for two months. So now its time for Lambie to shine.
19 Oct 2012, 09:16 am
@trupisero-44: Hell not sure trappi, LOL I know they say sharks have only lost 1 game in Durban this year and 1 CC game in the last 3 years, so yeah obviously it is pretty tough to go win there, but these games are 50/50 boet, like i said “all about who wants it most”
19 Oct 2012, 09:18 am
@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-42: well for what it’s worth, I have voted a Sharks/WP final. Thats just my gut feel, although my Sharks prediction is very much heart based, MInd is nervous as hell.
19 Oct 2012, 09:21 am
@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-40:
Kevin the Clot has said that the Lions will use the oportunity to show that the decision to kick them out of super rugby was wrong and they will therefore be motivated more then ever before.
The young inexperienced WP team (4 from the tight 5 are still under 21) have not much chance against the relentless wounded hungry angry Lions team. If they win it will be an upset of note., so they can go out and throw the ball around with a *** abandon not seen before this season.
19 Oct 2012, 09:29 am
Marius Jonker for Lions Wp game so Wp have no chance!!
Mark Lawrence for Sharks So will be tuff…

19 Oct 2012, 09:30 am
The biggest thorn in the Bulls side has always been a Mr Keegan Daniel… But according to some here Arno Botha will better him… Will just have to wait and see… Hope some Bulls start with their “whoopass” comments again…
19 Oct 2012, 09:30 am
@Robzim-48: Kevin de Clot is starting to sound like my mother-in-law. (And it isn’t a good sound…..)
He should have thought of ‘showing the world how rough and tough they are’, during the fuckingS15, not in a Currie Cup semi final.
He must be one miserable pisswillyruntcnutfckface (thanks Fitzella) considering most of his charges elected to head off to the WP whilst the Lions enjoy their ‘gap year’.
I can see where he is getting this ‘Braveheart’ material from…..see ^.

Marius wanker Nailed us three weeks ago against the lions at Newlands, do not expect any favours from him.. He will penalise the Wp until there is no fight left and he will kill off any chances in the Set pieces before 20 min are run..
As for Lawrence.. I always had the feeling he favours the Bulls, but these days he seems a bit more fair… will have to wait and see…

Wp were something like 22- 6 up halftime with excellent running tries (Yes remember I said 4 years ago) and then enter the wanker….
Lost the game that should have been walk in the park with ridiculous calls all over the show!!

@sharks_lover-157: Do you not read your Sharksworld internet memos?
WTF is wrong with you????????????????????????????????????? And you call yourself a Shark fan? Tskfuckingtsk.
Let me assist you:
“I’d like to make an impassioned plea, if I may, for all Sharks fans to give strong consideration to voting for Keegan Daniel. The risk with so many Sharks in the running for the prize is that the vote from Sharks fans may end up so diluted that none of our boys ends up winning. My feeling is that off the candidates, Daniel has had the strongest season all round; I think it would also send a pretty strong message to the Bok selectors if the man they dumped without a fair shot to shine ends up winning the award (or, at least, the popular vote).
Let’s put our personal favourites aside this year, of that’s ok, and unite as a Sharks support base to vote for our captain?”
and then:
something about being allowed one vote a day – an additional 10 votes in total :
(I do think your campaign manager should perhaps have another chat to the voters though, as it seems there are those who didn’t understand his orders, or they have pulled a fast one. For Lambie to be in 3rd place….and JPP hot on his heels, it means some Sharkies are disobeying explicit voting orders…….)

PREDICTIONS
Sharks vs Bulls
After watching Boots and All, you have to believe that the Sharks believe that this game is in the bag, as most of their players made mention of a home final. One thing is for sure: They are wearing the favourites tag with pride. And favourites they are. Finishing top of the log gives you that sense of invincibility. Managing that confidence is key here. Intellegent management of confidence will see a happy Shark tank leaving the stadium tomorrow. Dumb management of confidence will lead to arrogance, and this is what I am seeing in the Shark team at the moment. An arrogant team will fail dismally agains a Bulls team that’s being written off by most. The return to form of Morne Steyn, and returning Boks like Francois Hougaard, Kirchener, Steyn and some of the forwards is an entirely different beast (no pun intended). If the Bulls play to their full potential, this should be a good game. No more than 5 points in it. Confidence management of Sharks will determine which side will get that 5 point margin.
Lions vs WP.
The wheels were coming off for Province in the couple of games prior to the return of the Boks. Those wheels are now put back, and lock nuts tightly secured. This is an easy one to call. The Lions, although they are defending champs will not have enough answers to the questions that will be asked from the returning Boks of WP. WP to take this one by 10 – 15 points.
19 Oct 2012, 11:10 am
@sharks_lover-165: I’m sure Eben will be most grateful. Although he has already won the WP Player of the Year award, so I’m not sure the SARU award will mean quite as much as the WP one

Teachers ace tender ventures
THANDO MGAGA | 19 October, 2012 00:38
At least 2485 KwaZulu-Natal teachers are in business with the education department, officials said yesterday.
The teachers have mainly been providing transport and catering services for government events and supplying cooked food for the schools’ nutrition programme.
The department told members of the standing committee on public accounts yesterday that, in the past two financial years, 3314 of its employees were in business with it to the tune of R152-million.
KwaZulu-Natal education department head Nkosinathi Sishi said 75% of those are teachers.
Public servants were asked to furnish the department with confirmation of whether they had been granted permission to conduct business with it, Sishi said, and 1872 responded to the request.
Those who failed to respond have been charged with misconduct.
Legislators said they were puzzled that teachers found time to conduct businesses when their core function was to educate pupils. Education MEC Senzo Mchunu said he had, many times, called for public servants to cease doing business with the department.
He said: “This is [an] area of stubbornness. We tell them not to do business with the department, [but] they continue.”

@Sharkie10-181: 7 from 8, and brilliant pin-point tactical kicking is pretty good form, I’d say…
Look, this game should be won by the Sharks. I just feel that the Sharks are not respecting a pretty good Bulls side. Arrogance has been the downfall of many a side. AB’s in 2007 the perfect example. As is the 2009 Cheetahs, and the 2011 Bulls sides, These guys need to understand that previous results means nothing in these games. It’s ONE game, and its over. Beat the Bulls, then start worrying about hosting a final.
19 Oct 2012, 11:51 am
@Blue Label-187: Like a said, i agree with you. But kicking 7 from 8 may mean his found his kicking form, but still not his playing, attacking, defensive form. Kicking may win you matches, but not always the reliable outcome.
19 Oct 2012, 12:01 pm
@Blue Label-187: Sorry mate, one or 2 supporters does not speak for the team,

Sharks to beat the Bulls by some margin but Province to win by no more than 7 points. Sharks Province final would be fantiastic and give WP another crack at the trophy. It would be the only 50/50 final, maybe slight advantage to Sharks with home support. Whoever wants it most and performs on the day should take it. Maybe I’m being too optimistic as a WP supporter (here we go again)

Forever Doodpoes
Shrek still has growing to do
Simnikiwe Xabanisa | 18 October, 2012
THERE’S a story that does the rounds about when Cheetahs and Springbok prop Coenie Oosthuizen was a new boy at a Grey College hostel.
Apparently a group of senior boys ganged up on the already sturdy youngster and performed some form of initiation. What the initiators, who allegedly included one Francois Steyn, had not counted on was the fodder fighting back.
An enraged Oosthuizen apparently stomped through the hostel looking for the older boys, one at a time, to dish out all kinds of rough justice to them.
One thing was clear from that incident: the man nicknamed Shrek has an appetite for a fight. So if said penchant for retribution is anything to go by, his latest injury will get what’s coming to it.
The back ailment, which will keep him out of rugby for eight to 12 weeks, follows two neck injuries in the last year.
But because of Oosthuizen’s gung-ho attitude to getting back from injury, both the Cheetahs and the Springboks have taken their cue from him and shunted him back into service with almost indecent haste – which should be a real concern.
The fact that the 23-year-old keeps breaking down suggests he is coming back too soon. He certainly did when he was picked for the Test against the Aussies after playing less than a half following his recovery from a neck injury.
It’s perfectly understandable why Heyneke Meyer wants him in his team as soon as possible; Oosthuizen is gifted.
But people need to realise that even at 1.83m and 127kg, he is essentially an overgrown child.
To be the destructive tighthead prop we want him to be, Oosthuizen still has to do two things: grow stronger physically and learn his trade at a lower level.
One Super rugby season in the position should mean he is ready to do his dirty work come the Four Nations next season.
The same could be said of flyhalf Johan Goosen, whose constant breaking down could be betraying that he is not physically ready for the rigours of grown-up rugby.
It didn’t help that he was also rushed back into the Bok team after one half of Currie Cup rugby, having spent four months off the field with a shoulder injury.
The good thing about these youngsters being called on so urgently by Meyer is that it shows his faith in them, but he must also be wary of destroying them before the bright careers he envisages for them have even started.
A great example of a player who is still picking up the pieces from a similar scenario is hooker Chiliboy Ralepelle.
When Jake White was under the political cosh to play more black players in his Bok team in 2006, he chose a 19-year-old Ralepelle. Now everyone knows that throwing a tight forward that age into international rugby is the stuff that kills careers. White did it anyway, and Ralepelle has been a habitual occupant in the Bulls’ sickbay.
Similarly, the Siya Kolisis, Eben Etzebeths and Steven Kitsoffs are being played week in and week out despite obviously being too young. The fact that they just want to play is taken to mean they should play, when, in fact, they should be reined in at times.
They might all be strong kids, but they’re still just kids.
With these youngsters, South Africa is on the verge of producing genuine Springbok greats who should be a handful at the next World Cup. Why would we want to c.ock that up by refusing to manage them correctly in favour of a few ultimately insignificant smash-and-grab victories?

what a load of tripe:
Rob Houwing’s ‘Tops on the Telly’ column
Whatever you think of his broader merits as a commentator, the one key thing I believe Joel Stransky routinely gets spot-on is to detach himself firmly from any obvious partisanship.
I’ve been reminded of that again in the past few weeks, where his contribution behind the SuperSport rugby mike – usually as the comments- and perspectives-geared “No 2” to a lead commentator – has shone brightly in that regard.
http://www.sport24.co.za/Columnists/RobHouwing/Stransky-truly-sidesteps-bias-20121019
he’s anyithng but impartial in the way he criticises the bulls game plan when they’re playing, to the point of seeing what he wants to see in what they’re doing or lamely explaining away how it is they’ve somehow managed to go ahead on the scoreboard and eventually win even though they did all the things he was lamenting about in play.

Just realised that this weekend’s games are almost an exact repeat of last year’s CC semis: Lions at home against Province, and Sharks at home – only difference is they face the Bulls instead of the Cheetahs.
Last year the Sharks took the Cheetahs 20-13. And the Lions took WP 29-20 (which is strangely close to my prediction of 28-18 for tomorrow). Will we see history repeating?

Have absolutely zero respect for that former Springbok captain who was the main protagonist behind the removal of the Springbok emblem from cricket & other sports.

Connolly calls for Cooper ban
Published: Friday, 19. October, 2012
Former Australia coach John Connolly says Quade Cooper should be banned for a year for his “unforgivable” lambasting of the Wallabies.
Cooper’s Wallaby career is hanging in the balance following his criticism of the team’s conservative gameplan and ‘toxic’ environment and his reluctancy to don the national jersey until things change.
Connolly, who briefly coached the Wallabies from 2006 until their quarterfinal exit at the 2007 World Cup, said the Australian Rugby Union (ARU) should take stern action against the outspoken flyhalf.
“It’s unforgivable what Cooper did,” Connolly told Radio Sport New Zealand. “You can’t imagine one of the All Blacks criticising [coach Steve] Hansen and the game.
“It’s just ridiculous what’s happened and I hope [the ARU] do make a strong statement. He’s said he doesn’t want to play for his country – well then that’s fine.
“I don’t think you treat the Wallabies coach or the country or the jersey or speak about the game the way he did without some severe ramifications – maybe a 12-month suspension from the game.”
Cooper, however, could escape punishment with incumbent Wallaby coach Robbie Deans on Friday revealing he’d spoken to him earlier this week.
Deans said he would talk to him again following Saturday’s Bledisloe Cup clash at Suncorp Stadium and nodded when asked if he was confident there would be a resolution to the ongoing saga.

Lewis reveals contract snubs
Published: Friday, 19. October, 2012
Roger Lewis claims the country’s four professional regions rejected a chance for Wales’ entire international squad to be centrally contracted.
Welsh rugby chief Lewis says the Welsh Rugby Union offer to Cardiff Blues, Newport Gwent Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets was turned down in mid-August this year.
The Welsh game has seen several of its star names – players like Mike Phillips, James Hook, Gethin Jenkins and Luke Charteris – quit regional rugby to ply their trade in France, while Blues centre Jamie Roberts and Dragons flanker Dan Lydiate are the latest to be linked with moves abroad.
Lewis, the WRU’s group chief executive, said in an open letter to Welsh rugby and published by the Western Mail today that £6.2million already given to the regions for international player release would have funded central contracts.
That sum is part of £15million the regions currently collectively receive from the governing body.
The regions’ financial struggles have been well documented and there are some in the Welsh game who believe the WRU should be doing more to assist them.
In his letter, Lewis said: “An important fact related to the salary issue is that the WRU, on August 14 this year, formally offered to the four regions to centrally contract the entire international squad of players within Wales.
“It would have meant that the WRU would have managed players’ salaries and careers, and directly we would negotiate with any player seeking to leave Wales.
“The £6.2m player release money would be retained by the WRU to fund this, and the surplus – and yes, there is a surplus – would be spent on nurturing new talent.
“That offer was not accepted by the regions. This may come as a surprise to many.
“But that is the contractual right of the four regions and I respect it. I have moved on.
“Subsequently, though, there have been half-baked comments in the press about dual contracts and top-up payments from people who I would think should know better.
“At this point, raise your eyes and say, ‘that’s Welsh rugby for you!”‘
Lewis continued: “But that said, the good news I can share with you today is that we are close to creating a new partnership with the four regions which is based upon all of us working together, to sort out all of the four regions’ problems, with a proper regional management board contractually underpinned and with real teeth.
“We are focused on the future and getting it right for the long term for regional rugby.”

Bath win late in France
Published: Thursday, 18. October, 2012
Francois Louw’s late try clinched a dramatic late 27-22 win for Bath in Pool 4 of the Amlin Challenge Cup against Agen at the Stade Armandie.
Raphael Lagarde’s late penalty looked to have won it for the home side, but Louw crossed the line in the 79th minute to put Bath back in front and Stephen Donald’s conversion added the gloss to the scoreline.

@sharks_lover-244:
The Sharks, much like the All Blacks have a unique style of play that cannot be copied.
Trying to get the Boks to adopt a flick pass in the tackle would be like trying to ask Malema to use a knife and fork at the dinner table.
The Cheetahs, Bulls and Province are coached by individuals that still live in the 80′s and still have the same basic conservative mentality that has stifled South African rugby for three decades.
Until individuals are chosen for their technical skills and not jst their contacts with the old boys club, South African rugby will continue to get pounded by the Kiwis every Super 15 and Rugby Championship season.
19 Oct 2012, 18:14 pm
Nice speech
19 Oct 2012, 18:27 pm
@Predawn-251:
> Until individuals are chosen for their technical skills
We go for size to compensate for lack of skills, ther average SA players’ skill levels are nowhere near his Australian or Kiwi counterpart
Rathbone said when arrived at the Brumbies they were appalled at his skil levels
> South African rugby will continue to get pounded by the Kiwis every Super 15 and Rugby Championship season.
Till we have real MANAGEMENT at SARU instead of Broeders and Comrades stuffing their pockets, we’ll never be able to compete on a level field with them
The currenty structure where players contracts are held by the Unions and not SARU is killing our players.
The Kiwis want to rest McCaw for a year and they can do it as he’s contracted by the NZRU and not the franchise or province
Our Boks on the other hand were immediately playing Currie Cup after the Championship
We’re burning through players at an alarming rate with the new S15 format
How many Boks and Bok prospects were injured at the time of the Pom tests?
And again at the start of the Championship?
The Boks never really rest, think about it
They start training for the S15 in December, then play it breaking for the mid-year tests, then resume and finish the S15, play in the Championship, come back for the end of the Currie Cup and start training and then go on the End of Year Tour.
And then they start it all over again

@suffer_guy-323: True. But in the ‘hate’ division there are fewer. So mostly when you see the Sharks, Bulls, Stormers or Cheetahs playing against international opposition the South Africans will get behind the SA team – mostly.
In general, the Kings will be hated and I for one will support the Taliban if they formed a team to play against the Kings.
19 Oct 2012, 19:50 pm
Next year they’ll have the untold riches of the Bulldogs and the Eagles to add to this bounty. Unstoppable.
19 Oct 2012, 19:50 pm
The whole cheetahs teams are now playing for the sharks… So this is cheetahs b team
19 Oct 2012, 19:50 pm
@suffer_guy-325: Ag asseblief man…a few Currie Cup discards from the Bulls, Sharks and Stormers is not going to make a Super 15 team. The Kings will get moered even worse than this in Super 15. Plus – do you think this Cheetahs side represents the average quality the Kings will encounter in the Super 15 ? Go smoke some more tik.
19 Oct 2012, 19:50 pm
@suffer_guy-325: Neither is this the Cheatahs team thatvwill play SR – then it will be even more of a hiding
19 Oct 2012, 19:51 pm
@Dusky-326: You might be in for as surprise. Many neutral rugby lovers wish the Kings NO harm or ill will at all. The lunatic fringe on the other hand…..

Osama Bin Cheeky?
19 Oct 2012, 19:51 pm
@suffer_guy-328: Really ? You just demonstrated your lack of knowledge of the game. So – instead of hanging around here. Go sharpen a knife, drink some methylated spirits or smoke a tik pipe.
19 Oct 2012, 19:52 pm

19 Oct 2012, 19:52 pm
Griquas will moer these entitled white boys from the Kings by +38 points easily.
19 Oct 2012, 19:52 pm
@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-331: Really ? That’s not what I have heard from the guys I have spoken to, representing supporters from most of the other unions. In general what I have heard is that nobody wishes them any well at all which is what I support. I wish the Kings nothing but the absolute worst of luck.
19 Oct 2012, 19:53 pm
@trupisero-335: And even they would beat the All Whites from PE.
19 Oct 2012, 19:53 pm
@RL-336: Absolutely. What a joke.

transie
are you watching this
19 Oct 2012, 19:55 pm
You just have to follow the play by play commentary on the Cheetahs website to get an idea of the feelings here. In general a union affiliated website will obviously report things in their favour, but you can read between the lines what is being said here. ‘Kings struggling in all facets of the game’
19 Oct 2012, 19:55 pm
Wonder if Cheeky is going to place some demands at halftime to keep the score belw 50
19 Oct 2012, 19:56 pm
Imagine how kak the lions must be to be replaced by the kings. :-p
19 Oct 2012, 19:56 pm
Gonna have to catch the second half later on PVR. Story time for my boy.
Go Kings. This is your moment.

I am going to have to go buy 13 other Super rugby jerseys now. For each weekend that the Kings play.
19 Oct 2012, 19:58 pm
Hmmm…rain is coming..sun spiders are pulling in
19 Oct 2012, 19:58 pm
@suffer_guy-344: They didn’t have the luxury of a promotion relegation game, remember. But last time they played it was 80 something nil, wasn’t it?
19 Oct 2012, 19:58 pm
@suffer_guy-344:
Wait till you see the cricket scores the Crusaders and Chiefs will post against the Cheeky PDI’s, they might declare at half time 100/0

19 Oct 2012, 20:06 pm
No disrespect, but imagine what the Lions would have done to the Kings?? again though i am of the opinion it is not the KIngs fault but that of SARU, they could have avoided this by doing their jobs a few years ago, Neither the LIons or the Kings should have been put into this position.
19 Oct 2012, 20:06 pm
@wnbb-360: Absolutely fine with me.
19 Oct 2012, 20:06 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-361: We really believe in the gameplan and the coaches vision.
And the coach has that 1000 yd stare
19 Oct 2012, 20:07 pm
CAn one also imagine if this was the FUll Cheetah team?? Brussow, Goosen? etc??
19 Oct 2012, 20:08 pm
@trupisero-366:
you don’t **** with solly.
19 Oct 2012, 20:08 pm
kings need to focus on basic execution, commit earnestly to the tackle and just be patient and not think about the score but the concentrate on theroad that leads to the score.
they’re in the deep end by the looks of the first half for sure.
cheetahs on the other hand need to maintain their 1st half intensity.
19 Oct 2012, 20:08 pm
@sharks_lover-364: Kings could have done the honorable thing and said they will not accept a position if it is at the expense of another participating South African union. But they could not help themselves – the African greed set in and they could care less about who perishes along the way. Just as long as they get what they want.
As I said – I wish them nothing but the absolute worst of luck.
19 Oct 2012, 20:10 pm
@sharks_lover-364: You’re too nice. I wish I could find more ways to disrespect the Kings. Any ideas ?

@Dusky-370: I understand Dusky and i also dont agree with how they got into SR, but it still comes down to SARU not doing their jobs
SARU’s negotiating skill are pathetic, and also knowing this was going to happen could have had the kings playing in the CC 5 years ago,

19 Oct 2012, 20:19 pm
Dusky how many super rugby games did the lions win in the last 3 years?
19 Oct 2012, 20:19 pm
@suffer_guy-380: NO doubt they will be a touch better mate, but if you think they will really compete against the likes of Sharks, Bulls saders etc etc ?? Cheetahs and Lions are always at the bottom of SR, dont forget that.
YOu are happy your team is ion, and i am sure my posts will show you i have no problem with the Kings or cheetahs or Lions etc
SARU was the problem as far as i am concerned, But ur being very naive if you think even with the players out or still to come you will be ready for SR
19 Oct 2012, 20:19 pm

@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-390: Nooit. You can be sure these entitlements have a lot of political backing. But, Cheeky is in for a surprise if he thinks anyone will leave a white boy in the drivers seat of the gravy train for long. He better grab what he can and quickly.
19 Oct 2012, 20:23 pm
and he scores
19 Oct 2012, 20:25 pm
Fokkit….back and forth try scoring….

Credit to the Kings, they still hanging in there and trying 36-14
19 Oct 2012, 20:28 pm
@sharks_lover-404: Have you thought about what you are saying ? These are the first division champions – they are playing against the team that finished the Currie Cup in last place and getting a hiding…..a team that finished halfway down the second half of the Super 15 log this year.
Are you hearing this ? Say it to yourself a few times…..and tell me what you think ?
19 Oct 2012, 20:29 pm
@RL-396:
The Kings will have a hard time to make any headway in the S15
Cheetahs are k@k, no mystery why they’re playing relegation
19 Oct 2012, 20:29 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-402: Check didn’t arrive in the Cheetahs coaching box. Here we go. last 20 minutes = Cheetahs 40 – Kings 0.
Cant wait to hear what kak gets said at the end of this game.
19 Oct 2012, 20:30 pm
@victoriabok-406: How many wins do you think the Kings will get next year ? And against who ?
19 Oct 2012, 20:31 pm
@Dusky-401:
i would think cheeky watson has already made a significant return on investment so far. he’ll walk away a much wealthier man than when he started.
19 Oct 2012, 20:32 pm
Now we know why these cowards didn’t want a promotion/relegation playoff against the Lions.
19 Oct 2012, 20:32 pm
Hiekommiekaknou…
19 Oct 2012, 20:32 pm
Kings will win these two matches easily – but it is going to hurt them in the long run. They get two weeks less rest and can expect payback in the form of injuries next year.
19 Oct 2012, 20:33 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-409: Oh for sure. No doubt. That’s why I say – grab what you can while you can. It wont take doff Gumede too long to realise whats going on in front of him…..
19 Oct 2012, 20:33 pm
@Dusky-407:
flip, anoth try.
its getting too easy
this could easily go above 50
kings body language is not good.
@sharks_lover-404:
true, but only just.
19 Oct 2012, 20:34 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-414: They are fooked now. Cheetahs will run in another 4 or 5 tries before this game is done.
19 Oct 2012, 20:34 pm
@Dusky-405: I am merely talking about this game Dusky, read my previous posts, Like i said to saffa guy, they are playing a very weak Cheetah team, who also have a few injuries like Goosen and Brussow, so no i dont need to revisit what i said.
19 Oct 2012, 20:36 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-414: LOL BB i know, and now its 46-14, no doubt 50 plus comming
19 Oct 2012, 20:37 pm
@sharks_lover-416: So flippancy aside – realistically;
1. What do you feel the Kings can expect from the Super 15 ?
2. What do you think the Super 15 gains from the Kings ?
3. How many games do you think the Kings will win next year ? And against which opposition ?
19 Oct 2012, 20:37 pm
Come on Cheetahs !
19 Oct 2012, 20:38 pm
@Dusky-418: YOu ask questions you already know answers too,
19 Oct 2012, 20:39 pm
@Dusky-405:
The Bulls were CC champs 2002-2004 and didn’t do squat in the S12, like the Lions
It took the Bulls five years to build up enough depth to win the S14
Even if Cheeky buys fifteen Super players it would take at least a three years to achieve anything,
And remember most of these guys on the field tonight will be playing S15 next year, so he’ll need guys to play CC or after tonight 1st Division again
19 Oct 2012, 20:39 pm
I wonder how many of these Kings players are still lus to play super rugby.

@Transformation-428: Should blacks have said ‘Apartheid is law now – let it rest…’ ?
You would love that, except you will not get it. The attitude toward the Kings will stay the same, every game will be a test for them and they will have to explain how they got into Super rugby each time they take a hiding.
Its the price to pay when you get something you dont deserve.
19 Oct 2012, 20:49 pm

19 Oct 2012, 20:49 pm
Right, what do they have to say now?
19 Oct 2012, 20:50 pm
Cheets take 5 points and +40 points into the second leg.
Do the calculation to see what the entitled white boys from PE have to do to get into the Currie Cup.
19 Oct 2012, 20:51 pm
5 log points and a points difference of 39 points to overcome. Lets be realistic here…..call it a day Kings. Admit you are out of your league and back out.

Lions would have won this match by atleast 60
19 Oct 2012, 20:54 pm

19 Oct 2012, 20:55 pm
@Dusky-443: You mean you dont have any EP friends? In this day and age? Verkrampte fokker.
19 Oct 2012, 20:56 pm
@wnbb-445: Neither will you lot. You will be watching from behind he posts. I see SR’s 1st century coming up next year
19 Oct 2012, 20:57 pm
@RL-442: I sympathise with you guys honestly. Losing a place in the Super 15 followed by the player exodus are one category of kak, but in an absolute league of its own is being deposed by a useless imposter.
I mean I am so happy the Kings got shafted hard by the Cheetahs but if I were a Lions fan – it would make it even worse for me.
There is no integrity left in Super rugby, at least within the South African group. I would happily see the Sharks join whatever competition the Lions would like to create. Obviously money talks though….
19 Oct 2012, 20:58 pm
@trupisero-446: I dont just have EP friends dude…..I have EP family…..
Doesn’t mean it changes my perspective on the Kings.
19 Oct 2012, 21:00 pm
@Dusky-434:
ag at some point you’ve got to feel sorry for the little guy who’s clearly out of his league. this was like watching a pro fighter from a heavyweight division moering a plucky ameture from two divisions down with lots of heart, stukkend.
19 Oct 2012, 21:01 pm
@i_love_u_bakkiesbotha-450: I wish I could have watched the game….I would have loved it !
19 Oct 2012, 21:02 pm
Can’t see these entitled read post @trupisero-423: – gaining anything next year from playing with the bog boys – their players will be giving away 5 easy points against every team they play, except the SA teams who will help themselves to 10 points.
Guppies, Stormers finish 1 and 2 two on the overall log, Bullies finish 4th.
I’m happy for these team, but sad for my boys cause it was them that took away points from the Guppies.
19 Oct 2012, 21:02 pm
maybe even four or five divisons down.
19 Oct 2012, 21:03 pm
@trupisero-447: I support the Stormers you p ussy,but I would rather see PE hosting super rugby games than to see the kuk Lions and their diabolical management team staying on the gravy train.time for somebody else to ride that train…might as well be the kings.
19 Oct 2012, 21:04 pm
@Dusky-448: hahaha we’re in super rugby on merit dusky…the last team, the lions, got relegated as it was supposed to be in 2005. now the Kings have to prepare for next year & target side like the Sharks to get easy points
19 Oct 2012, 21:07 pm

Your response makes no sense at all.
I mean, you already acknowledged in the past that you grew up very protected and did not really know what happened under Apartheid.

Keegan, the Christian Cullen of loosies,
Followed by HIS team, HIS band of brothers onto the Field of Dreams, Kings Park…
FOR
“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers. For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother”
They will follow him to the River Styx and back again… They will shed blood for him, and the fellow gladiator next to them…
Why?
For they are the Sharks…
AND He is their LEADER…

Cause we made a promise we swore we’d always remember
No retreat, Sharkies, no surrender

With a vow to defend
No retreat, Sharkies, no surrender…

Patrick – the ‘fullback’… “can’t kick, can’t play”
Keegan – ‘too small’… ” Horses for courses – if this was Australia, he would be playing”
GO YOU FARKEN GOOD THINGS…
PROVE THEM WRONG… AGAIN!!!
