There has been another delay in the Jaque Fourie saga.
No finality has been reached and the hearing was adjourned to reconvene on 12 October. This makes it highly unlikely for Fourie to feature for neither the Lions or Province for the remainder of the Currie Cup.
Most want this tedious and lengthy soap opera between Fourie, the Lions and Western Province to come an end as soon as possible.
Kry nou-net klaar!!!!
:yawn:
Just make WP pay some money for him and get on with life!
Time for Esau to move on. He has clearly lost interrest in being faithful.
Helloooooooooooo
Flok, ek het baaaaaie gholf gespeel vandag…… eishhhhhhh
Moer en soek, soek en moer……..
These are the days of our lives.
Ek stem die storie raak nou afgesaag, en is ‘n mors van tyd. Slaan die WP met ‘n ordentlike oordrags fooi, en maak vir eens en altyd ‘n voorbeeld van ‘n unie wat agteraf met spelers onderhandel, en dat hul ook nog die res van sy kontrak tot en met Okt 2010 uitkoop.
Jagues se kop en hart is klaar in die Kaap, so die vraag is gaan hy sy betse dan vir die Leeus gee?
Ek se, laat hy maar sy pie vat en waai.
5@Mr-T – Welcome to our world here, first time I see you here after I approved your registration…
I believe you have slotted in well, seeing as you’ve made a number of comments already.
Enjoy the blog !
Imports set to turn out for France
Sorry Long post
Les Bleus could soon benefit from a raft of top-class South Africans and other nationalities plying their trade in the Top 14.
Rugby union’s world governing body, the IRB, specifies that players seeking international honours must have either been born in said country, have one of their parents or grandparents born there, or lived there for 36 months prior to initial selection.
Players must also not have appeared for the national, ‘A’ or sevens team of another country.
All that bodes well for the French national team, with an embarrassment of riches coming through the first division.
They include hard-hitting South African back-row forwards Antonie Claassen and Gerhard Vosloo, and also Mark Gasnier and Sonny Bill Williams – top-notch rugby league converts who played for Australia and New Zealand in the 13-man code.
That quartet, along with a dozen others, have or are close to having served their residency period and could realistically be decked out in the colours of the Tricolors in the near future.
However, that scenario was not one that sat happily France coach Marc Lièvremont – at least at first.
“When I started out as national coach two years ago, it was not a question for me of picking foreign players for the national team,” he said, speaking to L’Equipe.
“That came out of a question of principle and because there was an enormous potential among young French players. I was holding on to this French identity in the national team.
“Last year [French Rugby Federation President] Pierre Camou asked me to draw up a team made up solely of foreign players.
“It seemed like a snapshot to me, one which wouldn’t go much further. This season, my point of view is not totally the same.
“I’m not saying that I’m ready for a a complete turnaround, but let’s say that I’m struggling to find the equivalent among young French players of the generation of [Fulgence] Ouedraogo, [Francois] Trinh-Duc, [Fabien] Barcella, [Maxime] Mermoz and [Maxime] Médard…
“It is there but I don’t think that it’d be a good idea to throw them up against the South Africans or All Blacks come November.”
That said, Lièvremont insisted that for the moment he had his eye on just one foreigner in the Top 14.
“I watch all the Top 14 games on the television, I visit stadiums and from what I’ve seen, the only one I really like is Brive’s Antonie Claassen,” he said.
“Of course, there’s Vosloo, but for me it’s Claassen who corresponds to what I look for in the back row.”
Claassen responded by stressing that his objective of playing French league rugby was to go on to play for the France team, adding that turning out for the Springboks was not an option.
“It’s very flattering for Marc Lièvremont to speak of me,” Claassen said.
“My goal is the France team. If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t be playing in France.
“When I was young, I watched the Five Nations and supported France.
“I’ve spoken about it with Gerhard Vosloo: it would be interesting to play at that level. I don’t have any contact with the Springboks. I don’t think they need me. They have a lot of good players in this position. And me, I’m in France!”
Vosloo also has aspirations to play for his adopted homeland in the same way Stade Francais prop Pieter de Villiers and centre Brian Liebenberg have done.
“You’ve always got to have an objective in your head,” said the former Cats flanker who was named alongside Argentinian Juan Martín Hernández and All Black Byron Kelleher as the three best players of the 2008 season.
“On leaving South Africa, I wanted to become the best blindside in the French championship. And to play for France.”
Two other South Africans, Eric Melville and Dries van Heerden, have also turned out in French colours and Vosloo said: “If others have done it, you can still hope!”
