@ Ploegskaar: Gewoonlik kan ek net Oakdale wedstryde (naaste span) in die kwartaal kyk, maar is gelukkig vir 3 weke in Mei in die Kaap. Hoop om Tygerberg en Bosch op 4 Mei te kyk; Landbou en Dwelmberg op 11 Mei en dan miskien Boishaai en Wynberg as tyd dit toelaat en Landbou en PRG op 18 Mei. Na dit weer terug na die plaas in Riversdal. Is seker mens kan iewers ‘n bier of vier inwerk.
@BuiteBreek: En dis hoe dit moet wees, die praatwerk moet op die veld gedoen word. Daar was in elk geval selde ‘n flou Oadale span en wie ook al daar speel gaan knor soos altyd. Ek gaan al die Landbou tuis wedstryde en hul weg wedstryde teen Boishaai en Stellenberg hierdie jaar kyk, miskien kan ons dan erens langs die veld stories oor ons bont truie uitruil
@BHP: Ek sien dis een ou, en toe sien ek hom nie meer nie.
Tog interessant hoe party manne se koppe werk.
@Ploegskaar: Die Boland en Oakdale ding verstaan almal nie so lekker nie. Daar was net nie plek vir my alma mater ook daar nie
Het so bietjie oor teen die grond gehou oor Oakdale, maar lyk of hulle die kaarte maar teen die bors hou. As ek nou loer na verlede jaar se spanne, lyk dit of daar heelwat gr11’s in die span gaan wees. Maar ek kan verkeerd wees.
@BuiteBreek: Hel, jou trui lyk amper meer deurmekaar as myne! Hoe lyk die Oakdale span hierdie jaar?
@BuiteBreek: Nee wat..Dis een ou wat op sy bors slaan…die res is nie almal so nie!….Dis gewoonlik die oningeligtes wat so verskriklik voorspellings maak!
Re: Boishaai ev PRG: Die jaar kan dalk lank raak as die manne nou al aanmekaar is oor ‘n game wat eers 20 Julie gespeel word…
@MaroonPappa: Ek sien Gim het julle old boys van laasjaar pak gegee oor die naweek, hulle het seker nog beter borge?
@MaroonPappa: Nee, wat, met daardie stelling, bevestig jy dit- hulle het jou naam verkeerd gespel.
PRG en HJS is nie baie lief vir mekaar nie.
@BoishaaiPa: Hoe hou julle dit met die kerel binne 100 km met die man? Ek hoop PRG speel helfte so goed as wat die man praat., dan het niemand n kans nie. Selfs n mors van tyd wees om op die veld te draf.
Ek dink hulle sommer begin ”toets daar by julle.
Geen manier wat n skool so kan opgang maak binne 10jaar nie.
Julle was altyd n TOP20 rugbyskool.
Soos ek se…julle het nog altyd meer geld, meer fasiliteite, meer spesialiste ens ens gehad..maar die rekord wys nog steeds 21 wenne vir HJS teenoor 15 vir PRG…..Daai goed wen nie alles games nie!
BoishaaiPa, jy moet ook onthou.
Ons het n helse CellC borg.
Ons het spesialis afriting vir skrumskakels, losskakels…die lys kan aangaan,
Top fasiliteite by die Markotter. (Internasionale standaarde)
Dawie Snyman – Meester
Alles tel in ons guns.
Die veld is hopeloos te groot vir julle.
Ons het n bulspan vanjaar
@MaroonPappa: Ek sien jy is net so lief vir voorspel soos die ander PRG pappa…Ons wag maar en kyk wat gebeur daar tussen die 4 lyne…Dis brugstraat die jaar en PRG kon laas in 2003 daar wen..10 jaar terug!
@BoishaaiPa: PRG het HJS se nommer vanjaar
I see the boys are counting chickens already…Only the second week in SBR!..Golf has a saying; “Its not how you drive but how you arrive!”…
I have’nt seen any rugby this weekend, was in the Port Capital of SA for a wedding and spend Saturday afternoon in a wine cellar and Saturday evening making sure the wine surplus goes down!..
@Queenian: Personally I think the Stormers need to switch their centres around. Let De Villiers play in 12 where he always looks better and let the youngster De Allende operate wider out. He is bigger, stronger, quicker but not as smart as Jean.
The Bulls need to reinvent themselves but 2/2 is a useful start.
Can’t complain about the Sharks so far 2/2 is good start
Cheetahs need to part ways with Drotske and try someone else at the helm.
Is it just me or are the SA teams playing below par this year all teams have looked bad even in winning.
Stormers lose this weekend they will be in for a long season.
The tropphy is not won in March chaps. This weekend has some very interesting matchups that will certainly throw up some upsets. Star, I am with the Bulls on a temporary basis whilst my son is playing there.
Has anyone else been asked to join another pool to maximise winning big? I am sure some of the College boys would be headhunted soon.
And why is All Black’s region the Bulls. The last I heard MC had not been transported to the land of the blue cow. 
You can be glad that Rover did not enter this comp. He is styling at 11/160 in the College 150th Pool, 17 points, 6 places and .75 ahead of me, he would probably be in the top 3 here as well. That would have been a beautiful sight for some
With the College 150th Birthday celebrations peaking on Friday and Saturday the results there look pretty appropriate. I smaak it stukkend :-)
It’s keeping that up for the next 10 rounds that is going to be more difficult ….
@Queenian: i can remember Northern Transvaal[bulls now]playing Border on the rec,shucks we old
I see the Reds are leading 18-12 with 10 minutes left
@beet: Flip beet when i was a small boy alot of Borders Currie Cup games were played at the rec in Queenstown remember watching Natal/Transvaal play Border there.
@beet: Agree with you there EP rugby has historically always been a mess not sure why just has been that way, i think till about 1970 anyway Border was always alot better on half the resources at one stage even North East Cape was even better .
But lets hope.
@Queenian: You know I’m one of the guys who has sung the praises of the Griquas for the good work they have done with relatively little money. When you compare that to the poor effort made by EP to improve their competitiveness despite being in a bigger economic centre and appealing to a greater audience, it’s been a poor show by the EPRU.
But there a strong argument that the reason why the Griquas have been able to sustain their CC Premier Div effort is because of Super Rugby. Players have been attracted to Kimberley by the prospect of playing Super Rugby. So I imagine if the Kings were granted an extended run in SR, their might be similar spinoffs for Border and SWD to what the Griquas have experienced.
This probably also explains why the Cheetahs close shop on a lot of Griquas players. No way the FSRU is going to allow the Griquas to become a stronger CC team than them by providing too many SR opportunities to their players.
Logistically a Kings-Griquas combo might be a big ask but if the players had to be based in EP for the duration of SR, then why not. Again you have to ask yourself if EP necessarily wants to enrich Kimberley rugby tho, particularly in light of a future possible CC promotion/relegation game between the 2 unions being a possibility
@Queenian: Apparently Muller is injured but I think even that selection wud be put to the test if he was fit.
That said I’ve watched the youngster Lood de Jager play for the Leopards juniors on a few occasions. He’s a good player. Works hard in open play. He might emerge from SR as one of the new finds.
@beet: I think Griquas should join with the Kings
@beet: A big surprise is they never use Martin Muller at lock he must be one of the best locks in the country.
@Queenian: I’d love to see what the Cheetahs can do with the Chiefs coach. I can’t understand why they still with Drotske.
I think the FS are underutilising the Griquas players for eg. old Hennie Deniller had a decent game for a change against the Sharks but surely based on ability Willie le Roux has to be first choice no.15.
@star: Some of us work for a living mate……
The only thing I see of the Friday games is on the online live scorecard site…….. 
I’ll have a look at the incident on the highlights package and let you know. What happened?
I though Crusaders would klap them – so did all the betting sites.
@Queenian: Ja I watched last week. The Blues were impressive but I thought they might struggle against the Crusaders pack. I expected a tight game, it was a mini blow out.
@ Greenblooded- Why was the Blues game an upset? The Crusaders are notoriously slow starters and this was their first game away from home. What did me was that decision on Dagg?( I had a 4 point margin for the Blues). As a ref do you concur?
@GreenBlooded: I doubt an upset a lot of Talent there and good coaches.
But roulette is the word but i think the biggest factor is cut favouritism out of your thing and look at the facts.
For example if you are a Cheethars support dont back them for tomorrow its like saying Glenwood will beat GCB in Bloem this year you know it aint going to happen.
@beet: You could see from last week the Blues are on the up ye Tahs left it late i think the Hurricanes have to much to offer for the Reds last week they just met up against a good Blues team.
The Blues game was an upset. The ‘Tahs was almost another upset. This Superbru is like roulette!!
@Queenian: I went with the Canes as well so holding thumbs. They were not entirely convincing last week.
@Queenian: Blues have a new coach in Kirwan.
@QC86: Rudi watched the Blues vs Crusanders earlier the Blues have gone from super crap to super hot in 6 months.
The Bulls are looking at a hiding to nothing there next week.
0 out of 2 for me
So far so good picked the Blues/Waratahs/Hurricanes/Chiefs/Bulls/Sharks at least the first two are right.
Flip i must join this.
