The All Blacks were not at all reluctant to take leave from Kimberley, which they found quite boring. Even a visit to the big hole -which did not impress them much-, could do little to leave them with a good impression or with any positive regard towards Kimberley. The Lions have sent an SOS to their gamebreaking scrumhalf Jano Vermaak to join them in Australia ahead of Saturday’s Vodacom Super 14 match against the Waratahs. The South African Rugby Union (Saru) are not planning any action against Stormers captain Schalk Burger after the Springbok flanker struck referee Mark Lawrence lightly on the arm in Saturday’s Super 14 match at Newlands. blah
The Vodacom Bulls received a scare as they returned to training when their Springbok and vice-captain Fourie du Preez hobbled off the field with a sprained ankle in Monday’s training session. Kurtley Beale is adamant that he did not deliberately knock down a pass from Stefan Terblanche to Ryan Kankowski which prevented the Sharks from scoring what might have been a match-winning try against the Waratahs. Well, I suppose if you can believe this you might just as well believe in fairies, Santa and the Tooth Mouse…. South Africa and Cheetahs flanker Heinrich Brussow will not play rugby for the rest of the year after tearing knee ligaments in the final minutes of the Cheetahs’ Super 14 win over the Hurricanes in Bloemfontein. The 23-year-old loose forward, who has played 13 Tests for the Springboks, will be sidelined for eight months with cruciate ligament damage, the Cheetahs said Monday on their website. The Waratahs have named an unchanged line-up for Friday’s round five Super 14 clash against the Lions at the Sydney Football Stadium. The Stormers comfortably have the stingiest defence after four rounds in this year’s Super 14, but realise that it will be tested to the limit against the Hurricanes at Newlands on Saturday. |
