Stormers back to their best
19 Mar 2013
Juan de Jongh is set for a Super Rugby comeback. So too Jaco Taute.
Stormers coach Allister Coetzee has plenty of match day squad options in the outside backs with De Jongh finally free of a hamstring injury. Taute, who started the first game of the season, has missed the next two because of injury.
Peter Grant is doubtful, which would mean a guaranteed start for Elton Jantjies, and there is still no confirmation of when Schalk Burger will play. Burger tore knee ligaments 15 minutes into the 2012 Super Rugby season and has not started since.
Coetzee said the Brumbies, who have beaten the Stormers twice in the last four match-ups, were the favourites, despite playing away from home.
The Stormers coach singled out the influence of former Bok coach Jake White in the rejuvenation of the Brumbies, especially their physicality, defence and mongrel in set piece play.
White, when he was head coach of the Boks, entrusted Coetzee as his assistant and there is huge respect between each other and for each other.
White said it would take a huge effort to back up the Brumbies win in Durban and that the Stormers, given their form in Super Rugby in the last two seasons, and Western Province’s Currie Cup triumph, presented the toughest challenge among South Africans.
He also pointed to the influence of the Newlands crowd, who were always strong in their support of the Stormers and always turned out in great numbers.

lol @john galt: i’m trying to find the connection between the current topic of discussion & your claim that he is a pathological liar.
he says they were led to believe & even encouraged to sign argies, you come out to say he is a liar, when i ask if it your assertion that cheeky was encouraged you say “he has lied a countless number of times before”
hahaha

He needs to put up or shut up.

@nama1-257: ja man same old same old size story when our best centres at present are Paul Jordaan, Robert Ebersohn & Juan de Jongh. Of the bigger players have to admit De Allende has been decent, Jan Serfonteing will make a big impact as he gets game time and Tim Whitehead should be good when he gets back up and running.

That’s kak.
Unless he substantiates his claims then they deserved to be dismissed as lies and propaganda.
Its an old ANC trick.
Put the kak out there, fly a kite and muddy the waters as much as possible.

OK Dok.
SATISA was the 2nd biggest affiliate of SACOS, behind SARU but you did not have any knowledge of it. That says a lot.
If you want to call a student sports organization like SATISA “regional”, it says even more about your lack of knowledge about what went down back then.
Tertiary institutions that formed part of SATISA in the 80′s included:
UWC, PenTech, BOK, Hewat, Wesley College, ATC (Western Cape)
OKSK (Oudtshoorn, Southern Cape)
Perseverance Kollege (Kimberley)
Rand College (Johannesburg, TVL)
Dower College (Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape)
Khomasdal College, Academy/University of Namibia (Windhoek, Suidwes Afrika/Namibia)
Now if that is not a national organization, I don’t know what is.
You’re a freakin fraud, ou perd.
South Africa were isolated on many fronts, not just sporting wise. It included:
*Academic – many overseas universities severed their ties with local tertiary institutions to show their disapproval of the system back then.
*Economically – I’m sure you know about the sanctions imposed against SA back then. Big corporations like Barclays Bank, Kodak, etc. left the country.
*Religion – SA churches were kicked out of the World Council of Churches when Boesak became chairperson.
*Culturally – BBC, for example, and others refused to sell programs to SA; Top artists refused to tour in SA etc.
*Sport – that you seem to know about that’s why you only concentrate on it.
I put it to you that just like Danie Craven could use Errol Tobias and others as examples to show to the rest of the rugby world that “they” did not discriminate against rugby players on the grounds of colour so did Gerrit Viljoen and later FW de Klerk, in their positions as Minister of National Education, use YOU and others like you to show the rest of the world that students of colour had access to any university in SA.
Of course, they never mentioned the fact that YOU and the likes of you needed a special permit to study at those universities.
On some of these okes on here “mocking” me? Don’t worry about that. I take comfort in the fact that they are ignorant bigots and I really don’t care what they think.
All being said, I think this is the last time that I’m going to address you.
Have a nice life.

*Religion – SA churches** were kicked out of the World Council of Churches when Boesak became chairperson.
**White SA churches like the Dutch Reformed Church…
Oh, a very last comment.
You can keep calling me a “gatkruiper” or “uncle Tom” or whatever.
Between being called that by you and being called a racist by others on this site, I believe I’m in a good place.
Now, go well.

Jirre tog ou Gatjie Namaskara, my perdtjie, wanneer gaan dit deurdring dat die ingewikkelde politiek, en in hierdie geval sport politiek, te veel is vir ‘n onosel soos jy? Daarom slaan jy daai “SATISA” dromtjie so luid.
SACOS was hardly ever about numbers from affiliates in S.A. and which ones in particular as it( SACOS ) was nationally popular and had the political legitimacy and unbanned voice(and it was used in ways you will never know) in the highly volatile radical political situation of that time.
So put your “SATISA” away as they are not relevant to international sport politic demands and influence and organisation among thinly disguised European and other racists sports bodies. They were mainly a student body one of many at anyone collge or combination of colleges.
SACOS was about influencing INTERNATIONAL SPORTS OPINION from continuing to engage and indulge with S.A. racist sports organisations which were not only WHITE as you claim(what about the Federations of Loriston and others in other codes and worse the Leopards and their ilk in other codes).
As far as I am concerned my time is wasted on an idiot who engages in acquiring ‘higher’ learning for reasons of money purely and not reasons of acquiring knowledge to pass on to others to further carry it forward from one generation to the next.
At the very least your wiki-job has revealed to you the correct order of obvious importance(Satisa is nowhere near, it is an unknown blip on the radar). I trust you enjoyed the wiki-job.
Your wikied ‘facts’ do not even support the argument that that student body was not regional, for, bar one institution, Rand College(the Namibian one does not count) that is merely a Cape Provincial(at a stretch) body. Can you only muster one college from the then other 3 provinces?
Quite ashamedly you say nothing about the lessons meted out about “movements” and “isolation of whites on all fronts” rubbish.
As for the rest no time will be wasted by me on convoluted, confused rubbish you wikied but even now you do not understand such that you can explain it tomorrow to your significant other. None of that was in SACOS’ brief and the main topic was SACOS.
Please promise you will not just “think”
Just Do It. ‘En moenie jou gat , in die proses, skeur nie, ou Kruiper..

@mikeybrass-366:
Are you to be the cartoon instructor? Hardly as erroneous as your error I corrected months ago,not so? You were kind enough to thank me. I wont thank you for cartoons instruction though.
Have you been thoroughly educated about the non-racial principle and its S.A. history you thought you knew so much about?
Happy with the attention you sought now and got?

@364/5
” use YOU and others like you to show the rest of the world that students of colour had access to any university in SA.”
‘Simpleton’ alweer?
Is jy regtig so onosel, Namskara, my perdtjie wat so tjank?
Do you realise that even as a permanent staff member engaged in electro-physiological research, people like me(and there were many) had to apply for special Nat Govt. permission to attend any ‘White university” to further one’s studies at that ‘white’ institution and it had to be not on offer at the Bush colleges for one to qualify for that permit? Education is a right and not a privilege.
Whatever claims the Nats. thus made were worthless for the world was duly informed and educated by our ‘forces’ about the real situation to the extent that the Prof. I worked under, one day said and admitted at our weekly meeting that the day(in the late ’80s) was not far off when an international auditorium would empty when a S.African(all white then) got up to present his talk/lecture to that global audience.
You have much to learn. Read my boy, please read and understand well the real political education you lack. Put the rugby comics away.
I am away now.

Good post.
” Why did Cheeky ask SARU for special dispensation to field more than two foreign players in his squad back in Jan when he knew the “understanding” was that Argies are considered locals”.
The million dollar question.
