Settled Sharks for Kings
6 Mar 2013
Sharks aim for consistency after selecting an unchanged team to travel to Port Elizabeth.
The team that did the job for the Sharks against the Stormers gets a shot to take on the Kings, hoping to keep their unbeaten streak going.
Jean Deysel will hope to continue his form with another good showing, keeping the evergreen Jacques Botes out of the starting lineup. Cobus Reinach again gets the nod above Charl McLeod, who must be frustrated after not seeing a minute of play in the previous two matches.
Coach John Plumtree mentioned in the week that he wants his backs to get more ball this week, while still being watchful of the Kings backline and what they can do.
Sharks: 15. Louis Ludik, 14. JP Pietersen, 13. Paul Jordaan, 12. Frans Steyn (c), 11. Lwazi Mvovo, 10. Pat Lambie, 9. Cobus Reinach, 8. Ryan Kankowski, 7. Jean Deysel, 6. Marcell Coetzee, 5. Franco van der Merwe, 4. Anton Bresler, 3. Jannie du Plessis, 2. Craig Burden, 1. Tendai Mtawarira Substitutes: 16. Kyle Cooper, 17. Wiehahn Herbst, 18. Pieter-Steph du Toit, 19. Jacques Botes, 20. Charl McLeod, 21. Meyer Bosman, 22. Odwa Ndungane

Blasts from the Past re that Trio of #10s:
“263.Jinx:
12 Aug 2006, 12:08 pm bluecap The jinx is always on the Bulls when the WP dudes are around. My username comes from the best jinxing WP fly half from my youth, namely, Jannie Barnard. He could go in and out players like no one could. He played for the Bokke, I think for the dirt trackers in the mid 60?s. Piet Visagie was the leading fly half with the moerse boot…but he had no jinx. Jannie Barnard was the size of Brent Russell and created havoc for teams with his jinking runs. Sadly he was not really honoured for his footballing ability in SA. Had he been an Ozzie or Kiwi, he might have played plenty test rugby. Funny how things are pretty much the same today rugbywise in SA. Big oke…fat boot.”
“268.TheTackler:
12 Aug 2006, 12:11 pm Jannie Barnard played flyhalf for the Rooibontes (Transvaal)”
“274.Jinx:
12 Aug 2006, 12:17 pm Bluecap # 264 No, Jannie Barnard was earlier than Christo Wagenaar, tommy Dup and Pierre Edwards. Thos guys were all in the 70?s/early 80?s. No Jannie Barnard played in the 60?s for Transvaal and WP. His brother Robbie Barnard got a few Bok caps as a hooker. Jannie Barnard would have played against Bulle like the late Chris Luther( No 15), Thys Lourens, Frik, Mof Myburgh, Gys Pitzer(No 2) 10 years before Tommy Dup etc.”
“280.TheTackler:
12 Aug 2006, 12:24 pm That’s right! Jannie Barnard was a young stand-out flyhalf for Transvaal back in the late Sixties. His main opposites were the dead-eye kicking Piet Visagie of Griquas and the ageing and rapidly fading Keith Oxlee of Natal.”
“289.pieterman:
12 Aug 2006, 13:41 pm Hel Tackler, Jinx, julle ons ken die geskiedenis. I gained new respect for you Tackler, you sure now your stuff!!
Jannie Barnard (TvL) 1965, saam met Martin Pelser (glasoog-flank), beide vroeg oorlede.
Chris Luther hou die rekord vir die langste stelskop(73 meter!) in Curriebeker-rugby, Vrystaat Stadion 1969, Was uiters ongelukkig om nie die span te haal met die betogertoer na Britse Eilande (’70/71?). Hulle kies wraggies Martin van Rensburg(Mielieboere)bo hom.
Tjokkie van der Merwe is later Natal toe. Sy sentermaats vir N.Tvl was Christo Wagenaar, John Knox en later JP Nel(deedae tandarts iewers in die Waterberg-omgewing).
Jinx, Jannie Barnard was die Phill Bennett van SA rugby. Peter Kirsten was oppad na dieselfde roem, totdat die Leeus in daai Gazelle-game op Ellispark 1974 sy been afgetrap het.”

@Finfan-50: the post is addressed to Skop he will get my point, worry less.

@Angostura-51:
I was thinking about Jinx and his nic as I was posting. Really miss the guy.
6 Mar 2013, 16:44 pm
@Transformation-52: Any post addressed to Skop can’t have any point.
“Great minds” think alike?
6 Mar 2013, 16:50 pm
@David-53: He was from before my time here; I seem to remember reading some post that he had passed on? Is that correct? I’ve also gained the impression from what I’ve read that he was highly regarded. Is Jinx2 related to Jinx, or just a fan, or is the similarity in nic a mere coincidence?
6 Mar 2013, 16:54 pm
@Angostura-55:
Jinx2 is his brother. Yes, he had a heart attack. Great guy, poet, musician, rugby lover and WP stalwart.

Cheers David – time for me to ramble on home.

@Angostura-57:
You not inclined to ‘ramble’ the undeniable charges laid at your car door?
6 Mar 2013, 17:17 pm
@ET.-58: Ag, man, you’re just a calliphora vomitaria … an insignificant, but needless irritation; I’ll just swat you, if that’s OK with you?
6 Mar 2013, 17:20 pm
@Angostura-57:
Cheers. I work from home, which is a boon with the petrol prices now.

@Angostura-59:
The only reaction you can have to save face?
When you paint your ‘masterpiece’ with uneven strokes the picture comes out embarrassingly ugly
No defence translates to guilty as charged. But favouritism comes to those who enjoyed the benefits of the favours of apartheid , not so.?
Your Damascus road no sooner than 1995?
