Vetseun Posted June 2, 2013 Share I still haven't warmed up to Heyneke. Never ever thought I would have said it, but I almost miss Snorre De Villiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flymango Posted June 2, 2013 Share Juan de jongh lucky? surely one of the better centre's in the country... He's got serious talent and has shown it before, no doubt. But as with Bismarck and Zane, he's had injuries this S15 and in his case there is some serious competing talent on display in the midfield. I'd be keen to know if you think he will start in the starting test 15? I think Serfontein will start next to Jean, which implies Juan potentially on the bench. And depending on how the starting 15 is made up, the bench 7 will want flexibility (e.g. Pienaar at 9 or 10, or Gio or Willie le Roux at 11/14/15, Coenie at 1 or 3, etc).

flymango Posted June 2, 2013 Share Definitely.What a sidestep and fend off on attack and a rock in defense. Great player as I said. See my posts #78 and #94 here ... https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/102809-springbok-rwc-team/page__st__64 But on current form - lucky.

What I like about Juan most is that he runs straight and at pace off the ball. Will be interesting to see the starting 15! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted June 5, 2013 Share SCHOOL RUGBY A racial storm has erupted in Western Province schools rugby after a team walked off the field due to alleged racial abuse. According to the IOL website, Wynberg Boys’ Under-16 team walked off during a match against Paarl Gymnasium over the weekend after the apparent use of the k-word directed towards one of their players. At some point a Paarl Gym boy allegedly also told a boy from Wynberg: “I will slap the coloured off your face.” The alleged slurs continued into the second half when Wynberg decided to walk off the field, with Paarl Gym leading 33-0. Wynberg Boys' principal Keith Richardson said he was pursuing the matter and was trying to get hold of the referee, who is said to have heard the racial slurs and done nothing to stop them. “I spoke to the Paarl Gym's headmaster and he hadn’t heard of the incident. I think there is more going around on social networks,” he said. “We are trying to research the exact facts.” Paarl Gymnasium's headmaster, Eddie Bateman, could not be reached for comment on Monday, nor could their head of rugby, Deon Gerber. The Western Province Rugby Union (WPRU) said they are yet to receive a complaint or a report on the incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loose forwards don't get me very excited based on current form. And a very interesting bench. And Le Roux trumping Lambie in the starting 15 .... mmmm? But it's only Italy remember. And as I've said a few times this season (eating humble pie), Vermaak derserves to be 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
