Stormers celebrate Bok boost
30 Oct 2012
Allister Coetzee says he’s excited to have on-loan Springbok and Lions duo Elton Jantjies and Jaco Taute in his Stormers squad next year.
Taute confirmed his move to keo.co.za last Wednesday, while WPRU president Thelo Wakefield also told this site that he approved Jantjies’ deal late last week.
Coetzee believes the two players will make telling contributions next season.
‘We’re very excited about having Elton and Jaco in Cape Town for next year’s Super Rugby tournament,’ said Coetzee. ‘They’re both quality players and we look forward to getting them involved here – both on and off the field – and seeing how they fit into the Stormers culture.’
Jantjies is expected to get a run in the starting line-up during the opening rounds of Super Rugby, considering the departure of WP’s Currie Cup-winning flyhalf Demetri Catrakilis to the Southern Kings and the late arrival of Peter Grant from Japan in February.
While Taute is able to play at centre and fullback, he’s likely to compete for the No 15 jersey as the Stormers already have Jean de Villiers, Juan de Jongh, Marcel Brache and JP du Plessis in their midfield department. Damian de Allende is also considered to be in the mix after his impressive performance at inside centre in the Currie Cup final.
Taute has the option of extending his stay in Cape Town after the Super Rugby season as his contract with the Lions expires next year.
The Stormers have also signed utility forward Michael Rhodes (who can play lock or flank) and Springbok versatile prop Pat Cilliers from the Lions on permanent deals.

@goodstuff-44:
You tell him.
Labelling JDV ex-Munster as if he’s not a born and bred WP/Stormers player.
Sad really.

@puff-52: Lol, the man is obviously delusional with grieve.

WP locally schooled and developed players on Saturday comes to 8.
Sharks meet us half-way with 4.
End of story biatches
30 Oct 2012, 09:52 am
@wp_boytjie-54: The Sharks players are not “poached”. They have all approached the Sharks Rugby Union, begging for contracts. You’ll be disappointed to know how many WP players are still on the Sharks’ waiting list, including Etsebeth and De Jongh.
30 Oct 2012, 09:53 am
@wp_boytjie-54: JPP is from Stellenbosch.
30 Oct 2012, 09:54 am
@Finfan-56:
Who else is on your waiting list ?
Chuck Norris and Rocky Balboa.
30 Oct 2012, 09:54 am
Are some of you aware that suffer_guy, Finfan and SuperStirrer could be the same guy? That’s how trolls do it nowadays. Setting up different profiles to satisfy themselves in whatever capacity. Surely the similarity of their posts defined by the same target should have raised your suspicions! @Finfan-24: The part about Louw and de Villiers was pathetic, even by HeavensGame standards.
But anyway, if this all makes you happy then keep at it.

@Sasuke-57:
Was schooled in KZN so i gave them the benefit of the doubt haha
30 Oct 2012, 09:55 am
@Sasuke-57:
…and went to school in Witbank I think
30 Oct 2012, 09:56 am
@wp_boytjie-60:
Really?
30 Oct 2012, 09:57 am
@SuperStirrer-51: Good call. Is there not a way we can do the Cape Argus at the same time?
30 Oct 2012, 09:59 am
Pietersen was educated at the Hoërskool Generaal Hertzog in Witbank
30 Oct 2012, 09:59 am
@Gumboots-62:
No my mistake Witbank is correct , i thought that was in KZN , haha
30 Oct 2012, 10:00 am
@wp_boytjie-65:
He is actually from Cape Town but couldn’t make it here!!!
30 Oct 2012, 10:01 am
@Finfan-56: Lol, you are such a loser, Whitehead was a second choice centre and now he starts at Sharks, that will give you an idea who signs with the Sharks from WP.
Sorry but JDJ and Etsebeth are very happy where they are, no cholera or hook worms in the Cape.
30 Oct 2012, 10:01 am
@wp_boytjie-58: LMAO!!!!!
30 Oct 2012, 10:02 am
@wp_boytjie-54
JPP played craven week for the Pumas…
30 Oct 2012, 10:14 am
Who cares where who went to school blah blah blah. The only FACTS are that the WP are 2012 Currie Cup Champions and that the Sharks have choked in 3 finals in a row.
End Of Discussion.
30 Oct 2012, 10:25 am
@Golden Boy-70: At least they’ve made it to three finals in a row. It took you Capies 200 years to get there.
30 Oct 2012, 10:26 am
@BishopsOD-59: I dont know about the other 2, but I am just me, for what its worth I also think the bit about Jean and Louw was pushing the boundaries.
30 Oct 2012, 10:26 am
@Golden Boy-70: In the words of Dr Marttin Luther King, “Why don’t we all just get along. We are free, free at last.”
30 Oct 2012, 10:29 am
@Golden Boy-70: It is a trend nowadays for the llosing team supporters to try and get the moral high ground by either accusing the winning team of cheating or some other unethical thing that gave them such or such advantage.
But the truth is this, the AB’s kicked the boks’ asses in SA and the WP beat the Sharks in the fishbowl!
30 Oct 2012, 10:31 am
@SuperStirrer-72: When you flee your “home province” and then return, you should be labelled an import. By the way, Louw will probably stay with Bath and not even return to Province. (And he is another one on the Sharks’ waiting list.)
30 Oct 2012, 10:31 am
@Finfan-71: 200 hundred years? Really? Are you like 12 years old?
30 Oct 2012, 10:33 am
@goodstuff-76: It certainly felt like 200 years, didn’t it?
30 Oct 2012, 10:34 am
@Finfan-75: Your are making sense, in a “I am a complete ******!” kind of way.
Wow, at this stage I am empressed that you can operate a keyboard.
30 Oct 2012, 10:35 am
@Finfan-75: You are not doing a good job of trolling – spice it up, but within reasons or else all will ignore you and you wont have anyone to play with.
30 Oct 2012, 10:35 am
@Finfan-77: Nah, it felt like 11 years. Wouldn’t know what 200 years feels like.
30 Oct 2012, 10:36 am
Interesting census results. For the first time coloureds outnumber whites in SA.
“Cape Town – Almost eight in every 10 people in South Africa are black, according to the 2011 Census results, released on Tuesday.
About 41 million people described themselves as black; 4.62 million as coloured; 4.59 million as white; and 1.3 million as Indian or Asian, during the October 9 count last year.
In the previous census, in 2001, there were 35.4 million black people, 3.99 million coloureds, 1.1 million Indians or Asians, and 4.29 million whites.
For the first time in post-1994 census history, the number of people identifying themselves as coloured exceeds those describing themselves as white.”

@Finfan-71:
Blah Blah Blah…
@BishopsOD-73:
Touche!!!!
@goodstuff-74:
Exactly!!!!!
30 Oct 2012, 10:39 am
@BishopsOD-73: yoh, you are muddling the quotes big time… “can’t we all get along” – rodney king…
“free at last, thank God Almighty we are free at last” Dr MLK.

@katman-81:
Colored is the new white, without the perks
30 Oct 2012, 10:41 am
@katman-81: A large portion of young white South Africans are abroad in countries like Australia, UK and Canada. Eve na few coloured people as well, especially those in the medical, engineering and financial industries.
It’s also one of the reasons the white unemployment rate is so low, many unemployed white SAFFAS leave the country, thus are not counted as part of the unemployed figure.
30 Oct 2012, 10:41 am
@SuperStirrer-79: True, I’ll stop p1ssing on the WP parade (pun intended) and let them enjoy their fun. It unfortunately won’t last for too long: with so many imports it will take them another 11 years (at least) to gel.
30 Oct 2012, 10:44 am
@Finfan-86: With so few brain cells, it will take you 11 years before you comprehend the level of your own stupidity.
30 Oct 2012, 10:47 am
@Transformation-83:
How DARE you question someone schooled at BISHOPS!!!!!!
30 Oct 2012, 10:47 am
@katman-81: Wow, that Stormers / WP team really needs to become more representative then.
30 Oct 2012, 10:49 am
@goodstuff-87: Why so irritated this morning? Were you still drinking last night and have yet another hangover? I am sure the majority of WP fans stopped the drinking on Sunday night already.

I’ve compiled a book from the Internet. It’s a book of quotations attributed to the wrong people. Jerry Seinfeld aka BishopsOD
30 Oct 2012, 10:55 am
Shame on you giving the Bishop a hard time.
Bow before your master.
Will the ticket tape parade be on TV?
There is nothing on sky news.
30 Oct 2012, 10:57 am
@gunther-92:
I see the Sky and BBC news helicopters circling the Castle as we speak. The Al Jazeera Chopper is having problems getting the clearance permit for Cape Town. Something about tall buildings…
30 Oct 2012, 11:04 am
@gunther-92: I am sure there will be highlights on SABC3 tomorrow.
Apparently Juan de Jongh is going to lead the team in an original dance routine. HM requested the players selected for the Bok team to be excused from this exercise as the risk for serious injury is just too great. I guess they’ll ignore his request though.
30 Oct 2012, 11:05 am
@gunther-92: They’ve had to push out the starting time of the parade because they asked for a topless bus, and Golden Arrow organised some sort of public transport reed dance. Interesting, but not what Thelo had in mind.
30 Oct 2012, 11:07 am
WP won, we all get it already, congrats to them.
@Finfan your trolling only gives these province okes more ammunition to tell us how great their province side.
The sharks are still the most consistent franchise in SA (and no I dont mean consistent chokers, even though that may be partly true)
30 Oct 2012, 11:11 am
Quality gentlemen.
30 Oct 2012, 11:12 am
@2k3-96:
Totally agree with your entire post. Well, not really. (I’m partly agreeing with you here)
30 Oct 2012, 11:12 am
@2k3-96: “most consistent franchise in SA”
how do you arrive at that conclusion?
school us?
30 Oct 2012, 11:14 am
@2k3-96: Consistently overrated yes.
