Old and new a sign of good times
4 Feb 2013
MARK KEOHANE, in his Business Day column, writes that veteran Juan Smith’s performance was a reminder of a good Bok past and Jan Serfontein’s qualities are about a good future. Both are an asset to our rugby.
There is no such thing as a pre-season friendly in South African rugby. What was a supposed first hit out for the Stormers could easily have been a Super Rugby match played at the most critical juncture of the season. It was full on.
It was unrelenting and both teams were playing to win. Both teams kicked for goal at vital times and neither bought into the 10-try feasts usually associated with warm-up matches. Tries were at a minimum and both sides tackled.
The quality of the math was remarkable given it was the first week of February. The Cheetahs won with an injury-time penalty but the biggest winner was surely the sight of Juan Smith back on a rugby field and as imposing as ever.
Smith is one of the great loose forwards of the last decade. He is also one of the least spoken and written about, but every South African supporter would have kept an eye on his comeback in Bloemfontein.
Schalk Burger’s return is a week or two away and if Smith and Burger can make it to July with knees, hands, feet and head intact the Bok pack will again be the envy of the rugby world.
Smith was darn good given he has been out for 18 months with an Achilles injury that threatened closure on his career. What a wonderful view to see him rampant and playing as fearlessly as is his norm.
In Smith South Africa has a legend but watch centre Jan Serfontein of the Bulls. He will play for the Boks before the year is over. He was the world U20 player in the Baby Boks tournament-winning effort in Cape Town last year and he has been nurtured into senior rugby without haste and with plenty conviction.
Some players simply make the transition from juniors to seniors and Serfontein is one of those. He is a also a beast, physically the most imposing centre in South Africa and one of the biggest in the game. He’s just 20 years old but it’s his skill and natural feel for the game that is even more impressive than his physical presence.
Not since Danie Gerber weaved destruction has a player looked as capable of doing as he pleases from broken player. If Bok coach Heyneke Meyer battled with some positions in 2012 it won’t be the case this season.
There is so much new talent in the South African game and there is also massive changes to what paraded as Super Rugby in New Zealand and Australia.
It is heartening to see how the Lions have embraced their year out of Super Rugby. Johann Ackermann is bringing through another generation of player and the Lions have been committed in everything they have done on the field this year.
The year regrouping could be the best thing that has ever happened.. The core of the Super Rugby team is on loan to other South African franchises and there’s a very promising group being played in the season’s first month of matches.
Rugby in South Africa is strong and globally it is healthy.
The sevens in New Zealand was the best tournament I’ve watched and Kenya were 10 seconds away from a miracle win. The Africans had beaten the Boks, beaten hosts New Zealand and were leading England 19-12 with 10 seconds to go. They turned over the ball, England scored and in the sudden death scored again to win the tournament.
But what a display from the Keyans who have benefited from the structure and intelligence of English coach Mike Friday. Kenya now play the game like they understand it and not just on natural feel. They understand defence, thrive on it and they were the most physical of teams at the tournament. A coach does make a difference.
The Boks have opted for more agility and players blessed with a step but not with size. There is no substitute for physicality in rugby. When the Bok Sevens have had more bulk than balanced runners they have been effective.
Paul Treu is currently trading on goodwill as coach as the Sevens has been in free fall for some time now. It can’t be a fait accompli that he is the best there is. Result don’t make a convincing argument.
Finally the Six Nations delivered on the promise with Wales diabolical against Ireland and England ruthless against Scotland.
The global game needs seven to 10 teams to be a factor in between World Cups and England and France most definitely are the equal of South Africa and Australia with New Zealand still out in front, but not by a lot.
The rugby season will run until December but the break over the last two months has been too long. Just like Juan Smith’s performance on Saturday it is full on from hereon in and be confident that South Africa’s Super Rugby challenge can deliver a winner this year.

And dont forget Lionel Cronje….now that is a TALENT!
4 Feb 2013, 08:11 am
Welkom terug Juan… tyd sal leer. Ons hoop daai ou bene hou.
Respek.
4 Feb 2013, 08:12 am
The Keo Dragon curse will strike!!
1. Bok pack the envy of the world….phhhhhht!! when?
2. Jan Serfontein – buddy if I were you dont read Keo it will be the end of your career!!!
How does the Kenyans fit into a predominately Saffa rugby column????
4 Feb 2013, 08:13 am
Keo….you put Smith and Burger together in a loose trio and we back in the dark ages where Waugh, Smith and Mc Caw had us for breakfast…..
How are you going to accomodate them in a loose trio?
By playing Sckalk as an opensider….
all over rover…..
4 Feb 2013, 08:24 am
Let young Serfontein develop on his own terms.
Punting him for Bok colours after a pre season friendly is unrealistic and only places unnecessary pressure on him.
4 Feb 2013, 08:46 am
As a guppy I must say that Serfontein is the real deal – forget wannabees like Jordaan and Whitehead hell man even Frans Steyn is ordinary compared to the worlds best centre in the making.
4 Feb 2013, 08:49 am
Keo,
“There is so much new talent in the South African game and there is also massive changes to what paraded as Super Rugby in New Zealand and Australia.”
What is that supposed to mean?
As far as I am concerned, this new talent pool is a myth. We have heard about it for years, yet during the golden era it was the old boys of Matfield’s ilk that were the reason for the success.
As for dissing the New Zealand and Aussie conferences, can you please remind what team it was that disappointed the most at the business of last years comp.
Super Rugby is about winning the main event, which is why I have trouble reconciling your off hand dismissal of the game outside of SA with reality.
4 Feb 2013, 08:53 am
Juan and Schalk were our best combo for a while.
@grant10-4: As in they fetched us ?poached us? No they didn’t old man so shut the hell up . It wasn’t until Brussow arrived on the scene till we saw a blood hungry poacher .They were all good flanks that were competitive at the breakdown but nothing on the scale that Brussow was
4 Feb 2013, 08:56 am
@RL-6:
Lets wait and see after the S15. Sadie was also punted by Keo, and we al know how that worked out.
4 Feb 2013, 09:05 am
If the bulls outside backs can get enough ball they will ba a handfull with mapoe,engelbrecht,basson, visser, mastriet.
I think we will see young serfontein playing off the the bench st best.
Also some of the looseforwards on display.
Cooke? He looks as if might go places as well.
4 Feb 2013, 09:06 am
@Mr Black-9: You mean the S14 and the Kings
4 Feb 2013, 09:10 am
Ok. this article mentions three players.
Juan (6 times)
Jan (3 times)
Schalk (2 times)
4 Feb 2013, 09:14 am
“The quality of the math was remarkable given it was the first week of February”
true, no free kicks from lineouts.
“Not since Danie Gerber weaved destruction has a player looked as capable of doing as he pleases from broken player”
uhm.
4 Feb 2013, 09:15 am
I didn,t see anything amazing from lionel cronje?
Pollard flattening hollenbach on the crashball after only being on the field for a minute was impressive but there was little else to guage in his short time on the field.
4 Feb 2013, 09:16 am
It’s important for the Stormers to not get complacent. They are unlikely to lose against Boland so this is hopefully a good wake up call for them.
4 Feb 2013, 09:17 am
@RL-6:
” As a guppy I must say”
are you a bloody guppy now?
4 Feb 2013, 09:18 am
@Mr Black-9: let’s wait for the start of the competiton my guppy brother. Can’t wait to see who will partner a fit and lean Steyn in midfield. It could be JPP, Jordaan or Whitehead – your view?
4 Feb 2013, 09:18 am
@Staal-2: sekondeer.
4 Feb 2013, 09:21 am
Of some concern was the fact that i cant remember seeing one ball stolen at the breakdown?
Is that a fair contest?
The refs were enforcing the tackle release and roll away very strictly to the extentarriving players wouldnt even have a go.
4 Feb 2013, 09:21 am
simon borchadt – if you still check keo – add jan serfontein to your list of bankable frontpage posterbous for SA Rugby Mag.

Brads
wouldn’t worry too much about keo dissing Aus and NZ. he is known as the master of ruining a teams chances by tipping them
remember, thi is the bloke who tweeted after 2009 that “NZ rugby is k@k”
since these prophetic words, the Bok have won 1 game out of 8 against our k@k rugby.
as for the incredible depth in SA rugby, one wonders to the legetimacy of this statement especially when their union has to throw in a team to assist the other 4 teams
The circus just continues to get better year after year
doot doot oodle doodle oot doot do do
4 Feb 2013, 09:25 am
@shooter-12:
Why does Keo promote Burger and Smith’s return as a reason to celebrate.
Surely this huge talent pool he harps on about is awash with stars that can fill the boots of these yesterday hero’s.
4 Feb 2013, 09:25 am
Al sink Nuweland in die see bly ek WP.
4 Feb 2013, 09:25 am
Note to SA Rugby
Please don’t feature Serfontein or Juan on any of your covers soon.
Reserve the next six months for the entire Crusaders, AB’s , Wallabies, Chiefs, England and Sharks teams.
Thanking you in advance
4 Feb 2013, 09:27 am
@Brigadier Van Zyl-14: What I liked about Pollard was that he slotted in seamlessly and looked very much at-home.
Hope he leapfrogs Fouche on to the bench.
4 Feb 2013, 09:27 am
@the curse-22:
I don’t worry, I am also not in any doubt Keo will remain silent.
4 Feb 2013, 09:27 am

To all you Keo bashers,
If cumulatively, you had half Keo’s rugby insight, then perhaps I would regard your drivel with some merit but ….. No !
4 Feb 2013, 09:33 am
@Brads-23: Actually, there are a few positives from what I can see. The talent is there, always was there. Its up to the coaches now.
and actually, Bok rugby is not the focus now.
We’ll know better after the S15, who the new talent is.
4 Feb 2013, 09:36 am
@Jappers-30: calm down Shane
4 Feb 2013, 09:36 am
26, we,ll see. Too often we see talented kids who are 20 year old supermen come to nothing. Fouche is a case in point, looks very talented in spells but drifts in and out of games. Hell, i imagine the bulls managment have not aligned to anyone yet as the other young Scoeman maywell also ba interested in making something of himself
4 Feb 2013, 09:36 am
@Jappers-30:
Wow, are you saying Keo gets his wrong predictions from skill, and we all get our ignorant forecasts right by luck?
Keo should change occupation. He should be front and centre in a betting agency tipping odds. What ever he predicts, the book goes the other way.
Win win

4 Feb 2013, 09:44 am
Predictions in rugby, as in all sports is a fickle gamble.
How many experts predicted Italy to win?
Keo’s punting of Wales is a long shot and not the best one ever, but for the majority he does get it right more often than not.
4 Feb 2013, 09:44 am
Also a shout out to janno vermaak who also looked sharp this past weekend.
4 Feb 2013, 09:45 am
@Jappers-30: Easy, keo does pull out some soundbites to generate hits.
4 Feb 2013, 09:45 am
@the curse-22: I was not dissing Aus and NZ. I said the NZ playing franchises have also undergone some huge player changes, with the Blues in particular fielding 18 new caps in their match v Reds.
I was celebrating the excitement of new talent in the tournament in SA, Aus and NZ. I obviously articulated it poorly.
4 Feb 2013, 09:46 am
@shooter-31:
I am not dissing SA rugby or the likely talent that is in the wings, I take issue with forecaster’s like keo who dump their views on blogs like this without an iota of support.
Dear Lord, the man is supposedly an award winning journalist, so I would expect him to have the where with all to maintain his standards.
Sure this is a blog and he is putting out his personal opinion, but how do you get it so wrong so often, unless you have lost it!
4 Feb 2013, 09:46 am
@Brads-23: Because the game is defined at Test level by the quality of a squad not a run on XV and if the duo remain injury free and reach the form of previous seasons they remain among the best in the world. Why would you not celebrate this?
4 Feb 2013, 09:47 am
@Angostura-36:
DM always a worthwhile read.
I wonder if Big Norm will start sending the players abusive texts again now that he is back in the mix.
And judging from his record CSA better employ a driver for him at all functions.
4 Feb 2013, 09:49 am
@Jappers-30: Thanks for the kind words but I don’t see it as bashing but as others simply expressing a view, some or however more informed than others.
There is no right and wrong but we all have a perspective and when they are all in the pot perhaps we are all a bit more informed a day later.
4 Feb 2013, 09:49 am
Congrats to Juan, good news to see him back.
Many times in 2012 we looked short of experience for the Boks and had he been fit he would have been Capt.
If it came to a choice I would take Juan over Shalk … we need to keep DV and Flo as first choice… Would love to see – Coenie, Biz, Guthro, Eben, Bekker, juan, dv and flo ..
4 Feb 2013, 09:50 am
@keo-43:
Was hoping for an in depth article on the Varsity cup.
Had to put in predictions that can only be considered as a very long shot, no clue about the teams or strengths.
4 Feb 2013, 09:54 am
@RL-17:
Steyn and Jordaan. Whitehead can be there for rotation purposes and injuries.
4 Feb 2013, 09:54 am
@keo-45: Indeed.
We do it coz we love you.
4 Feb 2013, 09:56 am
@grant10-4: That’s why the 3rd player in the back-trio shouldn’t be Spies. With Burger and Juan you have enough grunt and power, so rather go with a player like Vermeulen and Flo, who both showed ball stealing capabilities or even Brussow if he can find form this season.
If they can stay injury free these two MUST be in the Bok mix, even if only to show the young ones the benchmark.
4 Feb 2013, 09:57 am
I have never understood the mentality of so many supporters who adopt an ‘out of sight out of mind approach’. When Smith got injured in 2007 Spies had just come on the scene. We put up a poll Smith or Spies and it favoured Spies by a considerable margin. A few months later Smith was one of the stars of the World Cup.
Smith and Burger, if injury free, will be at the mental peak of their Test careers in 2015. NZ finally learned the lesson of experience and building a team on experience and youth. It is an integration not a disintegration.
Duane is the flavour of the month but what if he gets crocked? Then Smith at 8 and Burger as a closed side option or vice versa becomes a consideration. A team can never have enough cover for every position.
In short it was a bloody good day\’s rugger given it was week 1 of pre-season warm-ups etc. Kenya’s effort also brilliant. They are a coached team with a specialist in Sevens who has given them structure and understanding of their strengths and it would have been wonderful had they managed to hold on for those last 10 seconds.
If Kenya are coached effectively, the same currently cannot be said of Paul T in terms of his strategy, selections and regressiveness in results and manner in which Boks are losing and who they are losing to.
4 Feb 2013, 09:57 am
@keo-41:
“There is so much new talent in the South African game and there is also massive changes to what paraded as Super Rugby in New Zealand and Australia.”
Utter rubbish
Spin it any way you like, you were trumpeting SA and denigrating Aus and NZ.
There is no evidence of any “massive” change in Aus or NZ .
4 Feb 2013, 09:59 am
@Doughnut-46: and what happened to Brussouw? Out of sight out of mind? Would it not be more appropriate to say thank goodness we have such quality of player in that position and hope they are all fit for selection come July.
4 Feb 2013, 10:02 am
@Brads-52: So 18 uncapped players the Blues match 23 does not constitute change? Significant changes at the landers ito the role Thorn and Nonu will play and the Canes and Chiefs kids are all a season older and wiser. The Crusaders also no longer have the aura of a team that won 7 titles, but a team that has lost their last 5 play-off appearances, which is not knocking their quality but giving perspective to the fact that they are into a new cycle of player. They will miss McCaw as well.
4 Feb 2013, 10:03 am
@keo-53:
The only person it would seem that does not rate Brussouw is HM, and unfortunately for us, he is the one who counts.
Most people here would love to see him in the mix.
4 Feb 2013, 10:03 am
@Brads-52: It was a compliment to what NZ are producing as players and how they integrate the best of their under 20 side into Super Rugby with a definitive plan … some fasttracked slightly quicker than others.
4 Feb 2013, 10:05 am
@keo-54: lost their last five playoffs appearances?
didnt they make the final in 2011? not sure where you got 5 from keo?

He probably meant playoffs in the last 5 years.

I see you like to defend NZ’s honour………
4 Feb 2013, 10:10 am
@nortierd-59: kia ora bro, Kei te pehea koe?
actually Im not sure what he means though.. have they had four other play off appearances since losing the 2011 final
4 Feb 2013, 10:11 am
@Mr Black-62:
Stormer and then my second team is the Crusaders.
Love the way they play, and will always enjoy the AB’s style, irrespective of what Bakkies believes.
We have decided to agree to disagree on that point.
4 Feb 2013, 10:12 am
@nortierd-64:
Cool, nobody is perfect
4 Feb 2013, 10:13 am
@Mr Black-60: perhaps
“but a team that has lost their last 5 play-off appearances, which is not knocking their quality but giving perspective to the fact that they are into a new cycle of player.”
this new cycle of player has still seen them make the playoffs practically every year though? just seemed like a rather silly comment to me.. they are still one of the teams to beat this year, dont be fooled just because they wont have McCaw…
4 Feb 2013, 10:13 am
@keo-56:
You only had to look at last years Super Rugby Champions and the new talent they brought through from the u/20 ranks, Cane ,Tameifuna and Retallick, even better they were forwards. Also bringing players out of ITM cup who made an impact in Horrell and the Fijian flyer on the left wing. There is a ton of talent here and you will see some new names pop up that will do well at Super rugby level.
4 Feb 2013, 10:14 am

He’s Caped Crusader sidekick.
We just call him Robin.
4 Feb 2013, 10:14 am
@the curse-63:
Well, even a bad, or unsuccessful year for them is better than a great year for the majority of the others.
Still a testament to them, but yes, they must be hurting.
You don’t hear Blackadder whinging about McCaw being allowed a sabbatical, or losing Zack. He just gets on with it, similar to the way he played.
Love that about him

4 Feb 2013, 10:17 am

Yep…always the team to beat. Wont take too long for Auckland to assume their rightful place of Nz Rugby Powerhouse.
4 Feb 2013, 10:18 am
@nortierd-71: Robin, I always thought that robzim was a fan of Mugabe, hence the nic.
And his posts has always had the flavor of a Zim appologist 
4 Feb 2013, 10:19 am
@the curse-74: forgot the smiley
Mr Black, I didnt see the game versus the reds either, so cant really comment , the result was somewhat of a surprise, but then Auckland does have a lot of rugby talent that for the past few years has been snubbed in preference for players from other provinces or the coaches mates/family..
I would guess that we are already seeing GH’s influence on the team
4 Feb 2013, 10:22 am
@Te Rangatira-75: we can only hope bro, bout time our province got back where it belongs

You reckon a top 6 is possible? New players might surprise other teams.
I will make my top 6 predictions after the second round.

Any news on when Jantjies is likely to make an appearance for the Stormers?
4 Feb 2013, 10:23 am

@the curse-78:
Yep….flick North Harbour back to the Chiefs and give us back South Auckland.
4 Feb 2013, 10:25 am
@Mr Black-80: thats going to be awfully difficult considering the aussie conference starts a week earlier this year due to the Lions tour..
perhaps after the 3rd or 4th round?
Nah, Im not expecting much from Auckland this year, I think we will struggle to win many matches in our own conference, but should hold our own against the Aussies and half of the Saffa teams..
4 Feb 2013, 10:26 am
@the curse-81:
According to local press he will report back for duty on 10 February and will therefore be available for the first super rugby game against the Bulls.
4 Feb 2013, 10:29 am
@Te Rangatira-83: the Tainui part of my heritage doesnt mind the Chiefs at all..
think kirwan should have looked internally in our catchment area before seeking players from outside… there were a couple of Northland players who I think could have made the Blues squad

@ufo-88: I’m not too sure about that Ufo – I think poppa will agree with you.
IMO Graham Henry will add a lot of value to the Blues but the lack of quality depth in the squad might be their biggest problem

I saw that post Charles.
Really thought in the beginning he was a pro mugabe poster with that nic.

And no disrespect to the talented Serfontein.
But not until I see Serftontein in Groen & Goud tiptoeing past a helpless Nonu then dummying Dagg to go dot underneath the posts and then run back without celebrating, only then will he be comparable to the great Gerber.

@CharlesM-95:
hey charles… how you doing bud…?
yeah… i know i’m in a small minority about this… and that’s okay…!!
i think the blues lack of depth and/or ‘unrecognised’ players may actually play right into their hands… clearly the reds took them for granted.. and they won’t be the last team to do so…
was a master-stroke of jk to bring in gh…
how many coaches would want ted in their group…? because we know if the blues do badly jk will be blamed… but if they fdo well people will credit gh…
and says a lot about jk imo…

@Robzim-98: Hi Rob, I’m a bit concerned about the fact that only 5 survivors of last year are still playing. The fact that they managed to beat the SA U/20 side is a good sign though. JP Lewis the left wing is no slouch and the 14, Khumalo has some gas too. The locks are Van der Sluys and Reniel Hugo: both good lineout jumpers but don’t have much bulk.
Alistair Vermaak is the loosehead prop but I don’t know anything about the other props and hookers. I think Os Hamman that huge prop is on the bench as player 23 and might be a factor later during the match. Craig Barry who trained with the Blitzbokke for a while is on the bench too.
All in all it’s very difficult to give an accurate prediction. Maties seldom have a weak team though – some new guys always seem to come through the system.

Those of you calling Burger & Smith yesterdays heroes… you’re a fool.
Grant, you’re unbelievably repetitive and unbearable. Before the 2012 season you said you would refuse to visit Newlands at all for a Stormers game because they didn’t have a specialized openside flanker and would get embarrassed as a result. They then flipped you the bird and ended top of the table. You…are…thick.
Burger has a huge engine. He came back from a broken neck to still be one of the best in the world (before that I’d argue he was clearly the best flanker in world rugby). A knee injury is not the end of him, and all teams perform so much better with him. The Boks are ALWAYS a better side with the legend that is Schalk.
And Smith plays with incredible determination & will bring heaps of experience. Why would you just cast him aside?
South African rugby supporters really surprise me sometimes with their stupidity.

Gavin Rich – SuperSport
Cape Town – Springbok centre Juan de Jongh is racing against time to be fit for the Stormers’ opening Super Rugby fixture against the Bulls in Pretoria on Friday, February 22.
According to the Supersport.com website, De Jongh’s hamstring injury was the only real concern for the Stormers in their warm-up fixture against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein this past weekend.
The outside centre’s hamstring was to be assessed on Sunday with the results disclosed on Monday, but coach Allister Coetzee was hoping that the injury would necessitate a 14 day lay-off which would enable him to be available for the Bulls match. However, it seems likely it might be a bit longer, which means he could be in doubt for the derbies against the Bulls and the Sharks the following week.

Love it when the Lions switch alliance to the Sharks, similar to the Bulls supporters suddenly becoming Sharks when their side is out.
You deserve each other.
The Stormers are not interested in fair weather ” I’m a Shark for a day” supporters, so enjoy donning the black & white and by the same token, don’t uncork thqat champagne to soon. Your new team for a day will bring you the same joy as your own team who crashed and burned already.

Guppies float like butterflies between the teams they ORIGINALLY supported (back in the day when Natal played social league rugby only and all ‘guppie=to=be’ fans had a CC team they supported at the time: Tvl, N-Tvl, WP, OFS etc etc) and their ‘own’ team, result dependent of course.

True, however, I can understand if the Cheetah supporters feel an affinity towards the Sharks seeing as it is basically their A team playing for them.

‘There’s good news for the Sharks, with coach John Plumtree confirming that Bok eighthman Ryan Kankowski is expected back in Durban this week.
Kankowski has been with the Toyota club in Japan for the last six months, but apparently wrapped up his commitments to them over the weekend and should be on his way back to the Sharks to join them for pre-season. This is according to a quote on the Sharksrugby website late last week.
The news is less good for forgotten Sharks scrumhalf Conrad Hoffmann, whose horror run with injuries simply won’t let up. Hoffmann came to the Sharks (injured) in 2010 on a two-year deal and has spent the vast majority of that period in rehabilitation for some or other ailment. His contract, we understand, was not renewed at the end of last year and since he is currently, yet again, on the injury list, he’s apparently without a professional gig at all at the moment.
Hoffmann is understood to be back in Cape Town, looking for a day job, raising the interesting question of who, exactly, the Sharks third-choice scrumhalf will be this season.’

Only played 3 games (Lions, Bulls & Leopards) before getting the call-up. Captaincy then went to Ricky Schroeder. Wonder what Schroeder is going to do now – doesn’t look like they see him breaking in ahead of the other 3 so he will have to make a name for himself in the Varsity & Vodacom Cups.

Shark catcher verdict welcomed
2013-02-04 14:00
Cape Town – A verdict by the Mossel Bay Magistrate’s Court that found a man guilty of catching and landing a great white shark, was welcomed by the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries on Monday.
Skopskiet was sentenced to either a fine of R120 000 or twelve months imprisonment, suspended for five years, said agriculture, forestry and fisheries spokesperson Lionel Adendorf.
Skoppie allegedly caught and landed the great white shark – a protected species – in March last year.
“This is the first great white shark case and conviction in any South African court, as South Africa is also the first country to impose legislation in protecting great white sharks,” said Adendorf.
The department hoped the sentence would deter others from catching protected species.

DHL Stormers injury update after Cheetahs match (and ahead of Boland Cavaliers friendly on February 9):
- Juan de Jongh (hamstring strain – just slightly worse than a Grade One injury) out for at least two weeks.
- Schalk Burger (calf strain) out for two weeks.
- Deon Fourie, Andries Bekker, Siya Kolisi, Rynhardt Elstadt and Jean de Villiers will be back to face Boland this weekend.
- Michael Rhodes (slight hamstring strain) withdrew from the Cheetahs game after re-injuring himself in the warm-up in Bloemfontein.
… – Joe Pietersen (back) was also a late withdrawal from the Cheetahs game but he will be good to go this week.
- Jaco Taute and Gio Aplon (cold/bug) both missed training on Monday.
- Deon Carstens (neck) started with semi-contact training today.
Other news:
- Elton Jantjies should be back on February 10 after the death of his father.
- Peter Grant is NOT back in the country (from Japan) as yet, as his Japanese team won at the weekend.
- Jean de Villiers is likely to start at centre against Boland, with Damian de Allende.
- All three scrumhalves, Duvenage, Groom and Schreuder, will be in the selection mix against Boland

@Mr Black-326: I’m leaving a Hansel and Gretel trail of breadcrumbs for HG………

That said, I am not a fan of Keegan starting for the Boks…..not whilst we play the way we do. Scope for him as an impact player at most.
4 Feb 2013, 15:29 pm
So Schalk will not play against Bulls….AC has said to play against Bulls game time in the pre games was a selection essential..
4 Feb 2013, 15:29 pm
@the curse-317: I never opined whether rugby was strong or weak then, and whether cricket is strong or weak now. One needs to have a (preferably statistical) framework of reference to make such a judgment call – what is your framework of reference for claiming that world cricket is weak at present?
BTW, I find it largely irrelevant whether world rugby or cricket is weak or strong at a given point in time. Despite such a (subjective?) assessment, all that counts is which nation is #1 – in rugby it is NZ, in cricket it is SA – but granted, being top of the pile is temporary (so permit us the pleasure of being #1 while it lasts).

last year was the Chiefs first playoff appearance since 2009 where they lost in the final at Loftus with a record score.

@Transformation-336: oh, so you tell me their first match is on the 23rd, so we agree that is their first super rugby appearance?
surely, using your logic that youve been “schooling” me on all night, wouldnt the whole season be the kings first super rugby “appearance”
which is it Trans?

Burger injury getting worse
Mon, 04 Feb 2013 13:28
PrevNextThe date for Stormers captain Schalk Burger to resume his playing career remains a mystery.
This emerged after it was revealed by coach Allister Coetzee on Monday that Burger’s calf tweak has developed into a “strain”.
Burger has not played since he underwent surgery for a knee injury he suffered in the opening round of the 2012 Super Rugby season.
He was named captain for the 2013 season and worked hard in the pre-season, but his appearances on the training field have been curtailed since the calf problem arose in training just over a week ago.
It has since “stiffened up” and he is now in doubt for the start of the season, although Coetzee remains confident that the lay-off would not be much longer than a two-week lay-off for the veteran Springbok.
More to follow

its all to do with the word “appearance”.. Trans is adamant a playoff appearance is more then one match, I disagree and say an appearance IS one match..
hence the 5 consecutive playoff losses is in fact wrong because the Saders won their semi final appearance in 2011..
understand?
4 Feb 2013, 17:08 pm
@the curse-401: does it change what keo wanted to say?
i.e …. they have lost their auro because they are now imminently more beatable – as witnessed through the their last 5 seasons – in the knock-out phase of the comp?

auro/ aura
4 Feb 2013, 17:08 pm
they have lost their ora?
4 Feb 2013, 17:11 pm
@shooter-402: I think it does…
sure, theyve been knocked out in the playoffs for the last 5 years, but they have still won some of those playoff matches and even made a final, which they lost.
Keo made mention of the new era of players and how that had seen them lose consecutive playoff matches, but to still be consistently making the playoffs with new personnel is still a wonderful effort in my books..
maybe you see it differently?

Yes, as I see it they have an important part to play, in breaking some Super rugby records
Here are a few they might improve on:
Most points – 96 Crusaders (96) vs Waratahs (19), 11 May 2002
Most tries – 14 Crusaders (against Waratahs, 11 May 2002)
Most points away – 72 Chiefs (at Lions, 19 February 2010)

I saw the numbers somewhere re: cost, and it’s unbelievable. I guess Soccer City and Green Point finally made if profitable to bring ‘em out?

Most fans are incredibly realistic, unlike Lionsfansfromyearspast…..(you know the type of Lions fan I refer to of course: 10 years of false hope and false new dawns…..) The Kings fans are just happy their team is able to compete, and why shouldn’t they be? They deserve top flight rugby just as much as anyone else…..and I’ve a feeling their stadium numbers will outshine the Ellis Park’s. Fuckinghellinahandbasket, there were 17 000 folk watching Maties at the Danie Craven stadium this evening….pfffft, Ellis Park.

Well done to the Proteas on an emphatic victory. A special salute to the following players:
Greame Smith for equaling Ponting’s record as the captain with the most test victories (48 each)
Dale Steyn with his best test match figure of his career.
AB Div for equaling the world record for catches in a test (11)
Amla for becoming the no. 1 test batsman in the world.
What a team taking into consideration that you still have Kallis and Vernon in the line up as well.

First man to take 11 catches and score a 100 in the same test. Unfuckingbelievable. And yet he misses out on the MOM. This test team is slowly becoming something special.

@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-451: Bulls, Lions and Stormers. Remember – the Stormers won 0 games in 1997 as well on the back of the fact that they weren’t good enough to qualify for the competition. So – in fact, the Kings already dont carry the Stormers shame.

Not at all. They should all go to jail and rot there afa I’m concerned. I would just like to see that Gunther also post fraud by others as well when it involves tax money since he made it his mission to let everybody know about government fraud.

If the Stormers came deadfuckinglast year in and out, I would be all 2 happy for them to be chucked out of top flight rugby for a while. It would be deserved…..
Yet you Lions seem to suck on more entitlement than what you could EVER accuse the Kings of sucking on.
Just because you don’t think the Kings should be playing S15….doesn’t mean the Lions still deserve to be playing…

“Not since Danie Gerber weaved destruction has a player looked as capable of doing as he pleases from broken player. If Bok coach Heyneke Meyer battled with some positions in 2012 it won’t be the case this season.”
The way i see it, Serfontein is 4th in line in the pecking order for no. 12 if everyone is fit behind Frans, Jdv (if not at 13). Jdj. But depth is important so perhaps HM will introduce him into the bok setup to familiarities himself with the bok “culture”……like he did with Kolisi, Rhule etc

@Stawm-502:
True. I agree wholeheartedly and I believe our media is doing a good job re exposing corruption.
You remember what the judge in the Shaikh case said about a corrupter and a corruptee. So if government is corrupt does it then give companies that do business with them to be corrupt as well?
I see a lot of this “they (government) is corrupt so what’s wrong if the companies are as well?”
What happened to “two wrongs don’t make a right” that we hear so much about?
4 Feb 2013, 20:49 pm
You guys still harping on about the Kings/Lions debacle. In fact it is not a Kings/Lions issue, it is Lions/Saru issue. The way the Kings were introduced were farcical to say they least but that was as a result of the buffoons running SA Rugby. This thing of the Lions supporters wishing the Kings lose all their games is quite idiotic. Why are you upset with the Kings? You guys should be upset with Saru. There should have been clear plans 3 or 4 years ago mapping forward the introduction of the Kings into Super Rugby, with everyone on the same page. Negotiations with Sanzar should have been made before any new broadcast deals were made and BEFORE any commitments given.
I wish everything of the best for the Kings and their supporters…..they will be needing it and would love them to make a few upsets against the foreign teams.

I see all the cleva little Storming Norman usual suspects and their Klompkak Kings suctions are shouting the odds about one of only two SA unions to win the whole damn Super Rugby comp – a Union with the best Rugby stadium in SA, the Lions…

Interesting article…….
Ex-SA Legend Slams Proteas
Cape Town – The Proteas’ failure to wear black armbands to mourn the deaths of Neil Adcock and Peter van der Merwe has been slammed as political correctness by former players, according to the Sunday Times’ Telford Vice.
Adcock and Van der Merwe, who died on January 6 and 23 respectively, played for SA in the apartheid era – when only whites represented the country and only played against other all-white teams.
That, former SA batsmen Barry Richards and Graeme Pollock say, was why their deaths had not been commemorated on the field by the Proteas.
Team management said decisions on black armbands were taken by the players in line with a commitment to respect sensitivities on both sides of SA cricket’s racially riven past.
“It’s time to forgive and forget,” Richards, whose international career was limited to four Tests because of apartheid, said.
“We can’t keep up this pretence that there was no cricket before 1992 (when SA played their first Test after 22 years of apartheid-induced isolation).”
Richards said he was a victim of apartheid.
“I was three years old when the National Party came in to power in 1948, but I’ve paid the penalty.
“They keep talking about disadvantaged people – no-one’s more disadvantaged than Graeme (Pollock) and me. We couldn’t have Test cricket and we’re not recognised now.
“It was a sad part of our history, but let’s acknowledge that the guys who were good in that era were good, and when they die we respect them. It would be nice if the team did that.
Pollock, who played 23 Tests before SA were kicked out of world cricket in 1970, was officially recognised as the country’s “Cricketer of the Century” in 2000. He concurred with Richards.
“It (the lack of black armbands for Adcock and Van der Merwe) is in line with the thinking that anything that happened pre-1992 doesn’t get any credit or wasn’t part of the system,” Pollock said.
“Everybody who has played for SA has made a contribution and those two gentlemen certainly made a contribution.
“You’ve got to close the gap between the pre-92 era and the current scenario. In Australia, all ex-cricketers are rewarded and thanked for their contribution.”
Adcock, who took 104 wickets at an average of 21.10 in his 26 Tests, was among the most feared fast bowlers of the 1950s and early 1960s.
Van der Merwe captained SA to their first Test series win in England, in 1965.

Jan Serfontein vs De Jongh. Both can step, both can tackle. the one can offload, the other not. The one has vision, the other not. We do not even need to talk about size.

@Heavens Game-542: “Honest rugby supporters” se MOER!
28 November 2008
The Southern Spears, made up of the 3
rugby unions of the Southern and Eastern
cape Rugby regions, were awarded the 6th
South African Super 14 rugby franchise by
SA Rugby on the 8th June 2005.
This was contained in a collective SA Rugby
Franchise Participation Agreement, between
SA Rugby and the 5 other South African
franchises, the Bulls, Cheetahs, Sharks,
Lions, Stormers, as well as the Southern
Spears, which commenced the 1st January
2006 and runs through to 31st May 2010.
SA Rugby’s Presidents Council bound
themselves in a unanimous Resolution on
the 8th June 2005, to financially support the
Southern Spears for the year 2006 only.
Thereafter, the Southern Spears were
included in the Super 14 competition for
the years 2007 and 2008.
When SA Rugby reneged on the agreement
in March 2006, the Southern Spears
challenged this in the Cape High Court and
Judge Dennis Davis ruled in favour of the
Spears on the 4th August 2006 and
declared the agreement legal and binding.
what did you FAKE “honest rugby supporters” say about this, huh?!
“honest” as Verwoerd was a democrat…. haha
4 Feb 2013, 21:59 pm

However they will play with the following team and may end up behind the Cheetahs: Kirchner, Akona, JJ, Olivier, Basson, Steyn, Hougaard, Spies, J Potgieter, D Potgieter, Kruger, Flip, Kruger, Ralepele, Greyling.

Tighthead prop and nr 5 lock remain our biggest challenges. Bekker is a walking sick note. Kruger is not committed to SA rugby.
At this stage Etzebeth is a possibility and Bresler the best prospect.
At tighthead Frik Kirsten may be the young player we were waiting for, but again the Bulls may stand in his way.

Pollard is the way to go for Bulls at 10 and Fouche at 15
Play Serfontein at 13 he’s a Danie Gerber type prodigy Venter at 12 not Meisiekind
De Jongh should be at 12 at Stormers with De Allende orJdv at 13
4 Feb 2013, 22:20 pm

For a guy that confessed not watching or following rugby for twenty years you sure seem to think you that know a lot?
4 Feb 2013, 22:34 pm
@Dusky-581:
Yes, I did
I always want to compare it to rugby though
If a guy gets tackled and they all stop to spit, take off their helmets, scratch their nuts and then only play again I always think “what a waste, a quick ruck and it would be great second phase ball”
And those vetgat linebackers puffing after playing less than a minute?
I’d like to see if you take all the padding and helmets away, let them run for 39 minutes of the first half and then let the ones who haven’t succumed to cardiac arrest scrum down against “doodpoes” or try to bliksem him

@victoriabok-590: I know enough you don’t need a Harvard graduation to know much about rugby I was playing rugby and watching Springbok rugby awhile before you were.
4 Feb 2013, 22:38 pm
@victoriabok-591: Yep – because there are effectively 4 teams, most American football players wouldn’t last 15 consecutive minutes on a rugby field. The highlight was Jacoby Jones 109 yard kick return !
4 Feb 2013, 22:39 pm
@skopdiekan-592: You played rugby ?
4 Feb 2013, 22:39 pm
@Horings-583:
The Bulls don’t seem to rate Kirsten very highly, they shipped him off to the Pumas last year…
@Horings-588:
That’s because JJ is being out of position. Wing is where he’s played rugby. Unfortunately Akona is way too slow to play wing in SR. He’s future is at centre, that’s where he started anyway.
4 Feb 2013, 22:41 pm
@victoriabok-591: What impresses me is the showmanship of the Superbowl. Quite something. But then I suppose with 76 000 tickets at $ 1200 a ticket – they can afford it.

4 Feb 2013, 22:54 pm
@skopdiekan-602: Charlton Heston is about the same age as you I reckon. He should rather keep quiet before his guns get taken away.
NFL players put in some hard hits and there aren’t as many rules about tackling as there are in rugby but they also have a helmet on, and their entire body is covered in padding so it is difficult to make a comparison.
One thing is for sure, they wouldn’t last the tempo of a rugby match. In rugby you dont play for a minute and rest for 3.

If they remove all their sissy padding and the helmets, they do all the hard hits with the helmet in any case, it would be a different ball game

5 Feb 2013, 00:28 am
The SAFFA sides will have a leg up again this year from their two woeful sides.
Kings – 10 points in the bag
Cheetahs – 8-10 points in the bag.
no other side gets such a santa bag.
Before you saffas go on about the aussie conference the Force did beat a couple of aussie teams. Cant be said of the cheetahs and Lions last year where the worst qualifying saffa team collected 14 points from the cheetahs and lions.
5 Feb 2013, 01:28 am
What the fook are you talking about Wally. The Cheetahs finished 10th last year. The Waratahs (11th), Rebels (13th) and Force (14th) finished below them. Dysmal, walking 5 pointers. The Aussie conference is by far the weakest of the lot.
5 Feb 2013, 01:30 am
3 teams in your conference, more than half, finished below the Cheetahs. Seems like you shouldn’t be throwing stones……………………

The waratah, force and rebels don’t get gifted points in the Aussie conference like the sharks, bulls and stormers and don’t get me started on home town refs awarding victories to saffa sides.
5 Feb 2013, 05:58 am
@Liewe Luiperd-631:
your bottom two sides give your conference a leg up.
lets look at the bulls take away that disasterous ‘victory’ that was given to them by the ref against the brumbies the bulls would not have finished top six then take maybe two points if the cheetahs or lions were competitive…well we know the story.
Home town refs need to be done with as it seems the saffas refs are always keen to lend a hand to their homies.
5 Feb 2013, 05:59 am
By the way the cheetahs were flash in the pan last year and not the norm. remeber between them, Lions and Bulls they have the most wooden spoons from Super10, 11, 14 15.
5 Feb 2013, 06:09 am
@wallabie.-634:
Hehehe Walla, stop digging! So now you comparing the bottom three Australian teams (all below the Cheetahs last year) with the top three SA teams? Using your logic the top two Oz teams get free points from the bottom three Oz teams whilst the top three SA teams only get points from the bottom two SA teams. How does this support your original point?
5 Feb 2013, 06:18 am
@wallabie.-636:
So when last and how often had the Cheetahs ‘won’ the wooden spoon Walla?
5 Feb 2013, 06:22 am

Oh you mean like how the ref gave the Brumbies the game when they played the Cheetahs? Got it!

5 Feb 2013, 06:50 am
@wallabie.-629: put the crack pipe down walla
the cheetahs were ROBBED vs the brumbies in Canberra where the Brumbies were handed multiple scrum penalties when they were the team engaging early the whole game and you want to go on about referees.. lol

@skopdiekan-602: Put Etsebeth, Vermeulen, Bakkies, Schalk, J Smith or Busmarck in some NFL pads and see who gets pummeled! I would like to see which RB would pummel Ysterbeth.
Rugby players are built for attack and defence in various situations. US Football players are trained and built for one thing and one thing only (depending on their position).
For instance, a CB is not really built to tackle the RB, that is the job of the LB’s and the DLine. Also the QB is not trained to tackle or run really, his whole game is passing and dodging tackles.
Again an example, the Centre in NFL is similair to the Hooker in rugby, they both are at the centre of the line/ scrum, both push the ball back to restart the game and both must then shove/ block after. But the difference is that the hooker must also throw in at lineout and also attack and defend.
Rugby players have a much better chance at playing NFL than the reverse.
Most defenders can’t even catch a ball, imagine them trying to do a complicated backline move after the 7th ruck?
Basically what I am saying is this, Charlton Heston doesn’t know ****.

@Angostura-656:
My estimate was wrong –
Jan. 14, 2010
WHY DO MORE NFL PLAYERS COME FROM A TINY GROUP OF SOUTH PACIFIC ISLANDS THAN FROM ANY OTHER PLACE IN AMERICA? “60 MINUTES” FINDS OUT – SUNDAY ON CBS
NEW YORK — 60 MINUTES goes to American Samoa to find out how a territory with a population less than the capacity of a pro-football stadium sends more players to the NFL than any similarly populated place in America. In fact, boys born to Samoan parents are estimated to be 56 times more likely to play in the NFL than other Americans, reports Scott Pelley in his story to be broadcast Sunday, Jan. 17 (8-9 p.m., ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
The Samoan people tend to be on the larger side and the islands’ six high schools have sent 10 linemen to the NFL in the last five years. One of those 10 NFL linemen who played Samoan high school ball is the Cincinnati Bengals’ Domata Peko, who says Samoans’ speed plays a role as well. “The combination of size and ability and speed, that’s kind of hard to find. Big dudes who can have nimble feet and are able to run and go sideline to sideline,” says Peko. Peko’s teammate, another Samoan named Jonathan Fanene, is a defensive end who proves Peko’s point with his six sacks and a touchdown this season. Says Fanene, “With the talent that we have, we have to take pride of it, especially when you have the opportunity to come to the mainland.”
Fanene’s little, well, not so little, brother, 17-yr.-old Aiulua, is poised to follow in Jonathan’s footsteps. At 6-5 and 280lbs., he’s considering offers from Arizona University and Oregon State. Like many other Samoans, he does a day’s worth of chores before school starts. His father, David, thinks the discipline has a lot to do with his kids’ football success. “That’s how he’s been brought up. Discipline. Obedience should be involved in this house and I am expecting our children to obey us,” Fanene tells Pelley
Jonathan Fanene built his family a palatial home in Samoa with the seven-figure salary his NFL career affords him.
Perhaps the most famous Samoan in the NFL, Pittsburgh’s Troy Polamalu – born in the U.S. to Samoan parents – says the island is lucky to have the option of football. Beyond a career in the NFL, Samoans have little opportunity beyond the military or work in a tuna canning industry based there that is threatening to pull out soon. “The beautiful thing about football is it’s allowed us to get into education,” says Polamalu. “Football is something that comes naturally to us,” he tells Pelley.
There are currently more than 30 Samoans in the NFL and another 200-plus playing Division 1 college football. There are just 65,000 people living on the islands. “What if there were 120 million Samoans,” wonders Polamalu. “How many Samoans would there then be in the NFL?”

because they would rather steal and lie and cheat and pillage like pigs.

so i need a bit of advice guys.
i am off to mozam in three weeks to a beautiful spot with the spearfishing club for 8 nights.
now we are rapidly gathering school stuff like pens, paper, pencils, exam pads etc so we can present them to the local school but now xai xai is really in trouble with floods and farms washed away. diseases like malaria and cholera will flourish as well as hunger so we could switch to mozzie nets and water purification tabs for the people of xai xai?
gift of the givers are doing wonderful work in xai xai whereas the kids of the area we are going to dont have much outside assistance if any so who do we help?
will read your comments later shotalot.

Class with a capital common…

SARugbymag.co.za will provide rugby fans with the latest rugby news, informed opinion and analysis, video (in the form of SARugbymag TV), live score updates during matches, fixtures and logs, and much more. Readers will be able to comment on posts, and access the digital edition of the magazine for just R5.95 per issue.

@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-686:
They could have called it http://www.keo-lite dot com.
I wonder whether the new site will also be Stormer dominated and if the sensitive bru’s (Puma and Sharkslover) will join or whether they will come back here as this site is now Nkita-less.

5 Feb 2013, 09:57 am
@Robzim-689: @Brigadier Van Zyl-692: I also thought about that…… Some sort of subscription will have to be paid etc.
Maybe keo.co.za should encourage ‘bloggers’ to start writing articles? We could be mesmerized by a 1000000000 word piece mastered at the keyboards of Skop, ET, HG etc….

The bloggers are the main contributors to the site.
The articles are only the end to the means.
The journo’s contributions are secondary to the cause, it’s just a way to get us started.
Eg, this thread was about Juan and Nel and look how many twists and turns it has taken to reach this point, and let’s not even mention the “Hore” thread.
5 Feb 2013, 10:12 am

The white blubber is showing his lack of class with his stupid comments about how his 70 kg son will beat SBW. I wont be surprised if they carry him out on a stretcher on Friday night if he is going to take the fight so lightly.

@Robzim-703: Folk laughed at me when I said the fatfuckwasfar2bigforhisgeriatricboots….
Don’t be surprised to see Botha folded like a pretzel past it’s sell by date
If SBW is still breathing after 3 rounds, the fattiesshytegetsreal…..fuckingfast 
(Another option I have given some thought to is: this fight has aready been fixed. Theoldfattie get’s a few million to fall flat….and SBW get’s to continue boxing….(he has said he will retire if he is beaten).. All this pre fight posturing by the oldfattie, is to make any SBW ‘win’ look legit?)
5 Feb 2013, 10:36 am
@Mr Black-710: Shitfuckpants. That would be tragic
I guess I’m staying right here with the other filthymouthed sailors?
5 Feb 2013, 10:36 am
@Mr Black-705:
Lennox Lewis never really did it, neither did the Klitsckoffs (spelling)
It will be a case of an ageing, very experienced has been who never had a good punch but can frustrate an opponent with his “smothering” style up against an inexperienced but very well condition bloke who does have a very good right hand punch.
So imo it can go to anyone….. If SBW catch Botha early with the big right it will be over- I doubt whether Botha will be able to knock SBW out with one punch but he might frustrate him and wear him down with “”wrestling techniques” and body punches (sort of slow poison)
Botha is the favourite but SBW certainly has a chance imo.

@Mr Black-709: Yes. But racism/homophobia etc won’t be tolerated.
5 Feb 2013, 10:44 am
@Robzim-713:
Any boxing bout can go either way, especially with heavyweights, but on pure ability SBW doesnt stand a chance. Botha is a very accomplished boxer with a strong jaw. Its not gonna be a stand a deliver boxing match, botha will take it up close where his extra weight will wear sbw down to point that one good uppercut will do serious bodily harm to sbw.
Hope i’m wrong and the 2 boxers beat the living daylights out of each other, but the fight might not last 3 rounds imo. Botha to take it.
5 Feb 2013, 10:45 am
@Simon-715: Awesome!
5 Feb 2013, 10:47 am
@nortierd-696: the web design needs to change slightly:
1. The cue is the hore thread which in reality had morphed into a general chat room thread.
2. One needs to retain the current web design/layout as at present (a chronology of rugby articles with a comments section).
3. But just above the articles should be a permanent general chat room (no article) thread where anyone (any registered & logged on blogger) can post anything; this thread has to be continuous which necessitates that the latest comment should always be at the top, not the bottom, but one should be able to scroll back & be able, when posting, to reply to a specific prior general post in that GENERAL thread.
4. This will work well – the general thread will carry the blog, & the specific articles will add spicy variety to the strong opinions du jour expressed in the primary (general) thread, written for free (noga!l) by the registered bloggers.
{imo}
Any thoughts?

@Mr Black-716:
Ja, look, i agree we will not see an exhibition of the “sweet science” between the 2 and Botha will try and slow SBW down. He might succeed if he does not walk into a right early in the fight and if he is fit enough to still breath after 4 rounds or so.
Of the rugby players/cricketers turned “boxers’ Carlos Spencer looks the best. No wonder Corne Krige pulled out of the proposed fight, against Spencer- it was a rare moment of his brains ruling over his undeniable courage

Ja, ok, he is a different class…. i agree…. but was he really famous as a rugby player before he boxed or did he box at an earlier age as well? I am not that familiar with him , just know that he is a real top class boxer.

He was known for his boxing though….? First and foremost?
5 Feb 2013, 11:15 am
@Robzim-740:
Yeah he was top of the game in rugby league at the time…
Recently lost (last week) in the fight of the year (I have seen so far)…
Brilliant hand-speed, power, foot-work, pedigree (his father is a legend)… unfortunately an absolute douche-bag (which is such a pity as he could have been a great Aboriginal role model)…
Still has a few more top level fights in him skills-wise… not sure mentally…
5 Feb 2013, 11:16 am

Not sure about that Popps.
Saw Botha sparring on TV, looks like he can still pack a mighty punch.
SBW has never boxed beyond 6 rounds.
Botha may be old. But SBW is still raw.
5 Feb 2013, 12:25 pm
he should be thanking SBW for allowing him another paycheck.
will be nowhere like the fight your cousin and I had, man that was a tough day.
5 Feb 2013, 12:27 pm
@the curse-768:
I’m sure he is thankful for the pay day. But that doesn’t mean he will go easy with SBW.

come on they guy is a show pony of note, Botha is aged but his combative nature might
just rock SBW’s world just know Botha is a master kickboxer as well…. also 2x codes

if SBWs is smart, he should be able to overcome the buffalo without too much difficulty..
again, just my opinion..

Fair enough
BUT
This is not league or union, were flash offloads and a ripped build make you look like an athlete God, this is a dog fight with a wise old junkyard dog, its like that old bumbling fool that always can beat you at a game of pool down at the bar, Flash meansfuckall in the ring when and you get hit by thatdutchman
5 Feb 2013, 12:43 pm

@Rockn Rolla-779: hehe like I said, its only my opinion and Botha may prove me completely wrong, doesnt worry me in the slightest..
but looking at the link to Botha sparing, there doesnt appear to be too much fight left in the old dog..
SBWs to win within 5 rounds..

@the curse-783:
OK I have seen the Buffalo get knocked thefuckout……but that was up against Iron (the greatest ever) Mike just a few years out of his prime, and he went to 6 or 7 rounds……..imagine SBW against Iron Mike
5 Feb 2013, 12:59 pm
@RL-780:
Boxing is even more crooked than Cycling. (Well maybe not).
Anything can happen RL.
I’d back Botha, just the same.
SBW has not even got Amatuer experience to call upon. Just 5 or 6 staged fights against no-hopers.
If Botha cannot put Sonny Bill away in 6 rounds………………………………something is wrong.
5 Feb 2013, 13:00 pm
@Mr Black-785: ja, he thought it was going to be a cakewalk…WRONG!
5 Feb 2013, 13:00 pm

@Rockn Rolla-787: hasnt Botha lost his last three fights?
I dont care who he fought in years gone by… if you watch the link I posted, I know its just a sparing session but there didnt look to me to be too much for SBWs to be weary of… perhaps Botha was holding back also, but Botha isnt going to have it all his own way..
again, if SBWs is smart he will use his jab effectively and not allow Botha to get close to him
5 Feb 2013, 13:02 pm
@Rockn Rolla-787:
Maybe not The Greatest Ever.
But certainly……………………………. The Most Ruthlessly Efficient Ever.
In his prime that was.
5 Feb 2013, 13:03 pm
@Rockn Rolla-787: and how many fights had Botha had before meeting Iron Mike?
SBW has only had 6 I think, so Bothas advantage is his experience..
personally dont think it will be enough
5 Feb 2013, 13:03 pm
@Transformation-789:
To be fair to SBW he doesn’t look like taking Botha for granted. He seems “bang” and are having nightmares.
5 Feb 2013, 13:04 pm
I have deep respect for anyone that would just step into the ring with Tyson in the 80′s…..cant be an easy thing to do

Ali was a back foot fighter, whereas Tyson was front foot……But I don’t see Ali teasing Mike and taking more then 2 x busts of Tyson left right left right combos, he is just too powerful for that, the only one that could that kind of beating was Evander……so I do believe Ali would be doing a shuffle with his knees wobbling
But that another debate

Hello all! I trust all is well in the Keo(kingdom).

5 Feb 2013, 13:16 pm
@Rockn Rolla-799: perhaps, but Ali fought other great punchers in Norton, Frasier and Foreman so it is a rather futile exercise to try and determine who would win out of the two… its very subjective..
Tyson lost to Holyfield, who I dont believe was half the boxer Ali was, but again just my opinion..
5 Feb 2013, 13:20 pm
@the curse-794:
But you are right I guess I coudnt giveafuck who wins….in my opinion boxing went out the window along with the Tyson, Hollyfield, Lewis era…..they were the tail end of the back ally east coast old leather fighting gym breed, now it just endorsements and the multi belt convoluted BS on ESPN
5 Feb 2013, 13:21 pm
@Rockn Rolla-799:
We will never know Rocky.
But when Tyson got in close, he would use his elbows as well as his gloves.
He was, and still is, the most dispicable Athlete I can recall.
5 Feb 2013, 13:25 pm
@the curse-802:
Although it would be unfair to lable Tyson within the perimeters of just a great puncher,
He was part Animal as well…..with a pinch of techincality
5 Feb 2013, 13:26 pm
@Rockn Rolla-803: yep, I feel the same about it as you do..
5 Feb 2013, 13:27 pm

@Skeppie-820: definitely… not sure why, perhaps the corruption within the sport has been a contributing factor? perhaps “sports” such as cage fighting, MMA etc may be luring them from boxing..
5 Feb 2013, 13:57 pm
@the curse-824: Yeah I suppose MMA must be having an effect…I just cant imgaine there would be the same money in MMA as there is in boxing…may be wrong

He bounced back to become World WBA champ yes WORLD WBA Champ and defended that title…
Danny Green a ‘bum’? Pull the other one pal he’s a mutliple world champion and Mundine made him look decidedly average in the loss… Danny recently won another world title…
And this recent bout was a ‘re-match’ against world IBF champion Beale who he had previously beaten…
Stick to talking rugby mate… you’re looking mighty foolish!

5 Feb 2013, 15:26 pm
I for one hope that the Bulls rather let Handré Pollard, Jan Serfontein & Francois Venter play their rugby together at Vodacom Cup level, rather then wasting their time on the Bulls bench.
10 Handré Pollard
12 Jan Serfontein
13 Francois Venter
Pollard has only just left school. Use him if Morne Steyn goes down, because then he’ll see some game time at Super Rugby level. Otherwise just leave him to pick up some momentum at Vodacom Cup level.
Jan Serfontein would be used sparingly behind Springboks Wynand Olivier & JJ Engelbrecht, with non-capped Springbok Lionel Mapoe also available. Another that will be wasted off the bench. Rather let him pick up momentum towards the U20 World Cup, and later the Currie Cup (when Wynand Olivier will probably be heading off again).
Francois Venter plenty of talent. Wish he’d go somewhere like the Cheetahs rather where he could be used more for ball-in-hand ability rather then having to put his head down but as an outside centre, and alongside the 2 mentioned prior, I reckon he could definitely come good. At this stage one of the most under-utilized players in South Africa (Arno Botha also).
5 Feb 2013, 15:26 pm

All this talk about foreskin makes me a little worried
5 Feb 2013, 15:29 pm
@Transformation-880: of course its banter, cant talk rugby because you guys just dont compete..
so it alleviates the feelings of inadequacy you guys have for being at best 2nd best, yet in reality probably about 4th best..

NZ worst for domestic violence – UN report
The Government needs to immediately launch an inquiry into why New Zealand has such high domestic violence and maternal mortality rates compared with other Organisation for Economic Development and Co-operation (OECD) countries, the head of United Nations Women New Zealand says.
A report by UN Women was released in Wellington today and canvassed 22 developed nations about subjects including domestic violence and maternal mortality.
New Zealand was ranked either at or near the bottom of the countries in the study in both areas and UN Women New Zealand national president Rae Julian called on the Government to ”actively investigate the causes of New Zealand’s high level of maternal mortality and issues of partner violence against women”.
Initiatives needed to be implemented to address the issues highlighted by the report, she said.
The study found a third of the country’s women had reported experiencing physical violence from a partner during the period 2000 to 2010.
That puts New Zealand as the worst affected of the 14 countries which responded to the question.
In the past year, New Zealand rated 11th out of the 12 countries that reported violence against women, with only Finland rating lower.
Sexual violence from partners showed a similar trend, with New Zealand coming out worst of the 12 countries that responded to the question.
The closest ranked to New Zealand’s 14 per cent was Norway, at 9 per cent.
In the past year, 2 per cent of women reported experiencing sexual violence from a partner, ranking bottom of the list.
The report follows a Ministry of Social Development study released last month which found more than a quarter of the country’s children had witnessed family violence.
The survey was published in the latest social policy journal and interviewed almost 2100 children nationwide, the Sunday News reported.
Of those surveyed, 27 per cent had seen physical violence against an adult and most of those incidents had been in the home.
When adults children loved were involved in the violence it had more impact on the child and also affected how they coped, and their decisions about telling anyone, with most too scared to speak out, the report found.
Meanwhile, the UN report also found New Zealand as among the world’s leaders in providing skilled assistance at child delivery in 100 per cent of cases.
However, at 14 deaths per 100,000, New Zealand also we had one of the highest levels of maternal mortality within the OECD. It ranked 20th, with only the United States and Luxembourg lower.

I’m not sure. Based at Katima Mulilo but I think maybe Rundu?
Not in combat. Was driving military ‘bakkie’ and it flipped, broke his neck.
Was a lieutenant at the time of his death I believe. 2IC of Rifleman platoon. Played hooker for Army side (and Paarl Boys 1st XV).

maybe its because NZ citizens still have faith in the police and judicial process in NZ, unlike SA were a murderer can basically pay a fine and escape prison..

Fair point, but I tell you what – NZ cops are soft, and trained to be so hey! A tougher line would probably do some good.
One got fired just the other day for putting a girl who was being verbally abusive and took his hat into a hold and taking her outside (the pub).

@hendrikp-944:
Crazy sad days those, especially in the late 80s. Rundu was the main entry point to the forces in South East Angola. Lots of goings ons. There were also lots of freak accidents like the one you described, in all camps in sector 10 and 20.
Too much for young guys who should have been chasing girls in civie land!
5 Feb 2013, 17:14 pm
@willievz-942: care to provide a link or should we just go on your “word”
was SA one of the countries surveyed? not that it would matter, Im sure any “stats” from SA wouldnt contain the true picture huh?

Hierso ook, as die ouens terugskiet bloei hulle gewoonlik
Maar as dit ‘n ongewapende ou is, gewoonlik dronk op op dwelms, en daar’s ‘n paar van hulle dan moer hulle hom uitmekaar uit of tazer hom
En dan boek hulle af vir post-traumatiese stress

http://mg.co.za/article/2011-09-09-suspended-sentence-for-bees-roux
Blue Bulls rugby player Jacobus “Bees” Roux walked out of the Pretoria High Court a free man on Friday after being given a suspended sentence on charges of culpable homicide and drunken driving.
After the case was delayed for hours on Thursday and most of Friday, the defence and state finally came back to court shortly after 4pm with a plea bargain agreement.
Judge Nomonde Mngqibisa-Thusi sentenced Roux, in accordance with the plea agreement, to five years imprisonment with a conditional suspended sentence also of five years.
The suspension was on condition that he paid the widow of Metro police officer Sergeant Ntshimane Johannes Mogale, who he killed, R750 000 and that he was not convicted again of a violent crime

All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy
beg, borrow or steal
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say
All that you eat
everyone you meet
All that you slight
everyone you fight
All that is now
All that is gone
All that’s to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.
There is no dark side of the moon really.
Matter of fact it’s all dark.
