I remember he got cited though for a dangerous tackle in the 2007 WC though, got a 4 game suspension which reduced to 2 after Johan Rupert flew in some lawyers to help out

wow, good memory - he could have played in more!

can confirm this with Dan Nicholl's secret WC diary

 

Wednesday 12 September:

Schalk's got a four game ban! Unbelievable. He was sitting at breakfast looking wretched, solitary tear running down his cheek, and no one really knew what to do. Bismark eventually just went up and gave him a hug, and Schalk burst into tears; can't remember a worse morning in a Springbok camp. But these things work out, and there's hope for Schalk. Practice this morning was interrupted by a helicopter landing on the training field, which turned out to be Johann Rupert's. He's determined to get Schalk off at his appeal tomorrow, and has brought out quite a team: also on board were Johnny Cochrane, George Bizos, Corbin Bernsen from LA Law, and the guy who got Jacob Zuma off. Maybe there's hope for Schalk yet…

Thursday 12 September:

Down to two games! Not perfect, but Schalk's a lot happier, and so is Jake (although Bob looked strangely subdued when the news came through). He'll miss the England game tomorrow, but we'll have him back for the quarters. And we've got loads of support, with Springbok supporters all over Paris, which is great. The Minister of Sport also sent through an email to John, urging us to make the most of the 20 overs, and congratulating us on the win over the West Indies. Oh well, I suppose it's the thought that counts.

Coolness

 

Cape Town Stadium has been awarded TWO of the eight matches on the British & Irish Lions' 2021 tour to South Africa.

not really.

 

Durban has lost their boxing day cricket test match too.

Comes down to support, or rather lack thereof.

 

check this stadium for the rugby championships in August 2018, 26 000 rocked up, which is half full.

I'm not denying durbanites are *** when it comes to things like that... But a lions tour on the back of winning the world cup will have no problems selling out

 

Compare that to a test against the argies on the back of being the worst we've ever been
