    3 @ sharky_forever:
    Don’t know hey… I quite fancy the Sharks chances for this weekend…

  • 5

    Very glad Vermeulen left out, now he can concentrate on the Bok call up!!!! – Thats where he will be needed

  • 6

    5 @ Just For Kicks:
    Bit of a conundrum, Vermeulen will need some game time before The Castle Rugby Championships to be included in the Bok squad.

    Time to replace Spies with either Vermeulen and / or Kankowski at the Bokke, I think.

    6 @ grootblousmile:Excuse me while I pick myself up off the floor.

  • 8

    7 @ Loosehead:
    Come on…. flok…

    Hehehe

    Look, Spies has not been massive.. that’s a given… but heck he’s been better than you lot suggested he was.

    In the meantime Kanko and Vermeulen were injured… so go figure.

  • 9

    Spies has been shit even if Super Rugby fantasy league stats say otherwise Heynecke

  • 10

    @ Spooony:

    Spooony?? wooden spoon??

  • 11

    6 @ grootblousmile:
    FFS, I’d rather bring back Joe van Niekerk before Kanko. Flippin puddin’.

  • 12

    11 @ Scrumdown:
    Kankowski has actually been flippen good in the last few weeks…. in that vein of form far rather him than that dwars donkey, Joe van Niekerk

  • 13

    12 @ grootblousmile:
    I’ve never disputed that Kanko is a very good PROVINCIAL player.

    I’ve NEVER seen him have a good game for the Boks though, and I don’t think that’ll change in the next few hundred light years.

    Besides, he’ll fugly and his Mother dresses him funny.

    8 @ grootblousmile: just when I thought that you had seen the light Weary

    Now all that remains is for you to admit that Dean Greyling can’t scrum and my work here is done! Who-s-the-man

  • 15

    14 @ Loosehead:
    Dean Greyling’s scrumming technique is suspect sometimes… but he can scrum… and with a bit of corrective coaching he’ll be an even greater monster and an awesome scrumming prop!

    Bring me a South African loosehead, Coenie die Boef included, that is as effective in the loose and as a battering ram as Dean though.

    I think the Bulls forwards pack as a whole though, needs a refined scrum doctor…. the material is there, just not being used properly at present. Balie Swart consults for the Bulls as scrum coach…. and I personally think he’s doing a kak job of it.

    I think the 3 best scrum coaches in SA at present is Pieter (Frenchie) de Villiers, Mathew Proudfoot and Os du Randt. Look what Proudfoot achieves with those freegin tellytubby, pot bellied excuses for props (bar Kitshoff who is good and has potential) at WP / Stormers.

    I see on News24 Cobus Reinach (scrumhalf) has been replaced on the Sharks’ bench by Deysel, Plumtree opting for a 5/2 split.
    Can any of you RT Sharkies help me out here, is ‘Kabousie’ the late Jaco Reinach’s (ex-1986 Bok wing) son?

    If so, then we might have two pairings of ‘would -be -Bokkies’ from Bok ex-players down in KZN…..Robert du Preez’s twin boys and Jaco’s.

    @ Loosehead:

    Kanko has been great.
    But then I have always had a soft spot for this boy, since his father Tino was the one who kept old Cheeky out of the EP team accasionally Happy-Grin

    15 @ grootblousmile:
    Greyling is a sack of shit. Has always been, will always be.
    Just when I thought you were coming right.

    Nelson and the ‘lil Chinese man:

    1. Nelson Mandela is sitting at home watching TV and drinking a beer when he hears a knock at the door.
    When he opens it, he is confronted by a little Chinese man, clutching a clip board and yelling,
    ‘You Sign! You sign!’
    Behind him is an enormous truck full of car exhausts. Nelson is standing there in complete amazement, when the Chinese man starts to yell louder,
    ‘You Sign! You sign!’
    Nelson says t…o him, ‘Look, you’ve obviously got the wrong man’, and shuts the door in his face.

    The next day he hears a knock at the door again.
    When he opens it, the little Chinese man is back with a huge truck of brake pads.
    He thrusts his clipboard under Nelson’s nose, yelling,
    ‘You sign! You sign!’
    Mr Mandela is getting a bit hacked off by now, so he pushes the little Chinese man back, shouting: ‘Look, go away! You’ve got the wrong man. I don’t want them!’ Then he slams the door in his face again.

    The following day, Nelson is resting, and late in the afternoon, he hears a knock on the door again.On opening the door, there is the same little Chinese man thrusting a clipboard under his nose, shouting, ‘You sign! You sign!’

    Behind him are TWO very large trucks full of car parts.
    This time Nelson loses his temper completely, he picks up the little Man by his shirt front and yells at him: ‘Look, I don’t want these! Do you understand? You must have the wrong name! Who do you want to give these to?’ The little Chinese man looks very puzzled, consults his clipboard, and says:

    (Wait for it)

    (Get your best Chinese accent ready)

    ‘You not Nissan Main Deala?’
