Comments on: Exodus reaching critical point http://keo.co.za/2012/11/06/exodus-reaching-critical-point/ An independent look at South African rugby Sat, 18 May 2013 12:47:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: out wide http://keo.co.za/2012/11/06/exodus-reaching-critical-point/#comment-2267014 out wide Thu, 08 Nov 2012 00:14:49 +0000 http://keo.co.za/?p=120619#comment-2267014 Surely HM talking about enticing old boys Matfield and du Preez back into the Bok fold would have helped chase some of these young guns overseas?

hehe
It would make our job and Ozzies job alot easier.
How would SA get any better playing against scotland and Italy all year?
To be the best you need to play the best…not 4th-10th ranked teams.
NZ and Ozzie are not the problem. The lack of wins is the problem and the reasons why a lot want to leave, Cant beat em….leave em.
I am sure thats not the saying.

Meyer’s man management is up to sh*t

With only 6 Currie Cup sides and not 12 ,players don’t get much chance of exposure in South Africa. South Africa just doesn’t have sufficient top level teams playing at the top to keep the guys in the country. We have the smallest first division or premier division of all top test playing nations. excluding Australia. The dominance of the traditional top 6 Powerhouses of Rugby and the exclusion of the rest has caused the guys to play overseas. 29 June 2007

Simultaneously, Holomisa will take Eastern Cape. We have two more years to endure. In 2014 the Nation will come of age under a government of National Unity. Seems impossible, but isn’t that the case more and more, day by day. Zuma is going to need his bunker big time, Just have to find him Eva from “Up”!

- improve the standard of living in SA
- squash voilence and crime
- remove racism

That as a starting point will also reduce the number of “scientist and engineers” that are needed to move SA forward, economically, inovatively and in basic advancement. This will remove the “after thought tag” of the BRICs (small S as SA is going backwards acording to international businesses) nations and make us one of the BRICS emerging nations.

But so too are every “scientist and engineer” once qualified, flee SA at the first opotunity. Why?

Why the hell not, if the Govt are dragging SA into the ground the last place you want to be is in it.

SO, if a rugby skill can get you out, i say, goooooo for it and get that passport.
The weather in Ireland might be **** but at least you can get pissed at night and walk home staggering and not have to worry about your back!

So, really the Irish have no intention of capturing him, he is simply designated as a (qualifying) project because Munster have their full quota of non-project overseas players. (Howlett, BJ Botha, Wian du Preez, Laulala). We can wait until 2016 and bring him back to SA then, as a better player. Might be smart to cap him in a 2015 world cup warm-up game.
