Taute’s groin torture
26 Feb 2013
Jaco Taute won’t play for the Stormers against the Sharks because of injury.
Taute took a heavy blow to the groin in the 25-17 defeat against the Bulls and is in hospital for observation after passing blood in his urine.
Stormers coach Allister Coetzee confirmed the Lions import has already been ruled out of the visit to Durban but there is less certainty as to the seriousness of the blow.
Joe Pietersen is expected to start at fullback and he may also be given the goalkicking duties to allow Elton Jantjies to settle at flyhalf and concentrate on his all-round tactical game.
Prop Pat Cilliers, who left the field with concussion, did not train but the management are confident he will be cleared for selection. Midfielder Juan de Jongh ran with the squad on Monday but a decision on his availability will only be made following Tuesday’s practise.

@cane-200:
Lol, I can imagine him trying to convert the Pretoria faithful to forsake their team.
Come to think of it, I have noticed many of the city’s homeless sporting a Mr. Price branded shirt featuring a predator of the ocean on it.
HG is obviously a really Good Samaritan

@nortierd-205: The Pretoria faithful are the City’s homeless?
Shy.te I better step up the good work then… Dirtbin mercenary shirts for all Pretoria Dirtbin exporers… That Pink aint a good colour…
Nothing wrong with 2 shirts though… One Black and White, and the other Light Blue…
I know, I got both… Wore one supporting the underdogs on their home turf last Friday, and will wear one supporting the underdogs on their home turf this weekend…

It’s like watching an autistic boxing match and waiting for somebody to kand a punch.

@nortierd-207: Another classic, when he was Free State Captain:
“Next year I’m going to give up top rugby – I’m going to play for Northern Transvaal”
26 Feb 2013, 12:10 pm
The Saaaks mercenaries, are they the Freestate players?

@pompies2-203: Pumpies, no need to get too affectionate now… Just because I admit the Sharks got no chance this weekend against the awesome CC Champs and Conference Title holders…
Fark its gonna be like playing 2 teams for the poor Sharks… And the ref too…
26 Feb 2013, 12:19 pm
@gunther-213: Oh dear… Sounds like Thunder… stolen…
Never fear Grunter… Will get off the soapbox soon… It will be all yours and the getalong gang regulars soon…
Just felt like having a slash on the bar in your exclusive pub…
Slash finished though…
Relief.

I see HG is unplayable yet again but these felching bent butterfly Stormers supports won’t give up.
Pathetic.

Poor Taute’s groin
26 Feb 2013, 13:21 pm
@Heavens Game-224: The irony is that you are the only one saying the Sharks are underdogs. Most Stormers fans are openly hoping their team triumphs on the weekend, but there is no evidence to suggest that may be the likely outcome.
As it stands, the Sharks are favorites to win, based on rugby reasons. How the Sharks deal with that tag is a different matter.
Take the favorites tag. That way, when the Sharks win, you can at least say they lived up to expectation.
26 Feb 2013, 13:22 pm
@Fern-226: Unplayable? Like a d00s-ra is unplayable?
26 Feb 2013, 13:36 pm
@pompies2-231: But see there in lies our problem – “As it stands, the Sharks are favorites to win, based on rugby reasons. How the Sharks deal with that tag is a different matter.” previous seasons have proven that our players are not comfy with the favorite tag
However, in previous season they would have lost that game on Saturday against the resurgent Cheetahs, instead they managed to hold on! Lets hope this other achilles has been sorted by my Sharks
26 Feb 2013, 13:40 pm
Eina! Jaco my boy was it “friendly fire”
Was it a Brokeback or a bully who grabbed a fistful of Taute acorns.
I tend to sway the brokeback way.
26 Feb 2013, 13:47 pm
@RL-234:
Ja we all know you sway that way
26 Feb 2013, 13:50 pm
@Dawn-235:
26 Feb 2013, 13:51 pm
@Dawn-235: in other words it was friendly fire woman.
26 Feb 2013, 13:56 pm
@Sharksgirl-233: This then represents an improvement in the overall psychology. Knowing how to win when victory seems unlikely is massive.
In saying that, you do get a sense that the Sharks were hanging on comfortably and defeat was improbable.
All the talk of the Sharks underdog tag is codswallop. Most of the bloggers will perceive the Sharks victory as an expected result, thereby not elevating the performance to a against all odds victory.

@pompies2-238: Sorry, I am not sure I understand your last paragraph, you are intending vs the Stormers not the Cheetahs, because I doubt that most Sharks see themselves as underdogs vs the Cheetahs, I think we buried that particular bogey. Against the Stormers, well I still have nightmares of that CC final! So I, and many Sharks fan are cautious.

Cape Town – Will a week prove to have been long enough for the Stormers to have remedied their array of woes from Loftus?
That question will be answered at Kings Park on Saturday (kick-off 19:10) when they tackle the Sharks in “phase two” of their stiff three-match start to Super Rugby 2013, which is also to feature the visit of champions the Chiefs to Newlands before Allister Coetzee’s charges pause for a deep breath with a bye.
The Durban date is keenly awaited nationwide, as it pits against each other the indisputably best-performing franchises in South Africa from last season as a whole: not only did eventual finalists the Sharks and the conference-topping Stormers go further than anyone else from these parts in Super Rugby, but they also met again in their slightly different guises in the Currie Cup final.
Sharks coach John Plumtree wasted no time this week in pointing out that “our motivation in the off-season” was the slightly upset 25-18 loss in the latter final, against a weakened but grimly determined Western Province outfit.
Some may interpret that as a deliberate, tactical move to kick an already wounded animal, given the Stormers’ rank incompetence, frankly, in the deserved reverse to the Bulls last Friday.
But it is also impossible to escape the far from insignificant thought that the Sharks, in holding off the Cheetahs in a pulsating Bloemfontein clash, displayed strengths in all the areas where the Stormers had earlier come up glaringly short on the Highveld.
So with home advantage in the unforgiving KwaZulu/Natal late summer humidity just another handy ally, it is difficult to believe too many tipsters will be leaning confidently toward the Capetonians.
