What an Easter Monday , 18 April 2022 was for EG Jansen and University of Pretoria coaches Rudi Dames and Reghardt Botha!
Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival – Botha’s Hill, KwaZulu-Natal
09h30 – Dr EG Jansen’s match against Glenwood kicks off.
Midway through the first half and Jansies look to be staring down a barrel at 0-10 down and unable to find any gears.
EG look a different team in the second half and add two second-half tries to one awarded in the first half, to finish strongly to cause a bit of an upset, winning 17-10.
Soon after the final whistle Dames and Botha set off on a 6.5-hour 600km trip to their next destination.
Varsity Cup Semi-Final – Shimla Park, Bloemfontein
19h00 – Underdogs UP-Tuks get underway against UFS Shimlas.
After 32-min it’s 11-21 to the University of Free State and going according to the form-book.
18-unanwered points sees Tuks reverse the tables to cause an upset, win 29-21 and book a place in the final against Maties at the Danie Craven Stadium in Stellenbosch on 25 April 2022.
@Jong Matie:
Wat het dit uit te waai met Count Pushkin?
@Mate: Aanvanklik was daar 9 eerste span spelers uit, darem nou net 2. Onwards and upwards we go.
@Jong Matie:
Hou nou op om met my kuiertyd in te meng
Ons sal Saterdag bietjie vat daar op die Slag van Markotter
@Mate: Jy moet jou prioriteite reg kry lol
Al op die 3de bottie Beyerskloof
Proe soos Sparberry
Sal maar Count Pushkin nader roep
@Jong Matie: Cabernet is vir kardiewe….
@Mate: Ons drink ordentlik goed hier in die Kaap. Cabernet, Steel Works, Gin en Tonic.
Johannesburger etc is nie te koop die kant van die tonnel nie
Sal nooit hier geswaai kan raak
@Mate: hulle gooi water by die Branna…en asyn saam die wyn
Drankies maar flouerig hier in die Kaap
@Mate: Vasgehaak by die Pearl?
Lekker plek die Elephant & Barrel
@Jong Matie: MOM was maar nog altyd in my oe n persoon se indruk van n speler
@Smallies: Selfde geld vir Tukkies se nr3, was by verre die beste speler op die veld in die semi. Nugter weet hoe hy nie MOM is nie.
@Jong Matie: moenie Marcell by die WP vergeet nie
@Smallies: De Wet Marais is Maties se eweknie.
Merkwaardig as jy dink beide kom van GCB.
@Jong Matie: stem ,By maties laaik ek Henri Du Toit en natuurlik De Wet Marais
@Smallies: Hy is die gom in die Tuks pak.
@Jong Matie: Grey Old boy 2016 Yster
@Smallies: Een naam, Dian Schooness.
@Jong Matie: Jip die twee beste spanne op die dag het gewen,ek dink Maties sal die kampioen span wees mits hulle nie die Tukkies onderskat nie….paar outjies in die Matie setup wat ek baie laaik,en dan Klein Edwin Till by Tukkies is ook n yster
@Smallies: Tukkies was puik op die dag. Die Maties was self lelik woes.
@Jong Matie: Shimlas het seker maar gedink hulle kan nou maar cruz final toe,pel jy cruz nie teen Tuks nie ….
@Smallies: Ek weet nie waar Shimlas se koppe was nie.
Al wat ek kan se is hulle het die Shimlas se batterye goed nat gepie ,well done to them….
@Mate: As die wind eers begin waai op Val de Vlie is daardie baan nie jou maat nie.
Jy is net uiters bevvoorreg om in die oggend so vroeg te speel.
@Jong Matie:
Op die 10de begin
Nou op die 4de
Ek slaan stingers vandag
Sommer n chip n putt baan hierdie
Baie overrated
@Mate: Watter putjie is jy nou op en hoe lyk die swing, high cut of a low draw?
@kantako:
Miskien kan Boerboel ons vertel
Hy is groot pelle met SE
@Mate: you could be right mate. Im not too sure.
@Rainier Nico is the Head Coach as far as I know.
Ek dog Nico Luus coach Tuks.
@Mate: 😀😀😀
@Jong Matie:
Nee man ek raak nou geirriteerd hier op die golfbaan
4 slakke hier voor ons
Wag op elke bof vir hulle
Ek dink dit is 4 wetenskaplikes van Boland Landbou
Lyk of hulle op n paaseier jag is
@kantako:
I’m sure originally Rudi was going to be in charge but had some other commitments and then became 2IC
Maybe somebody can verify that
If I’m wrong then I’ll humbly apologise
@Mate: Verkeerde voet uit die bed mee opgestaan vanoggend?
Two very very good coaches. Tough as nails and so are the teams they coach. Both also played good rugby. @mate Im not too sure if Rudi ever pulled the strings at Glenwood in SE era, I always remember SE being the Rugby man in charge, Rudi did however fill that role when SE left to HJS. Then Rudi took a role at PTA Boys, where he and Regardt coached together at the Bulls provincial teams when Regardt was at Menlo. They both moved to EGJ and coach together at TUKS.
@Jong Matie:
Lyk my jy lees nie die artikels nie
Skryf sommer net iets omdat dit jou beurt is
Vra jou gr11 sussie om vir jou te lees as jy sukkel met opstelle
Where is so called Dames these days?
Did you know that back in the days, Dames was actually the big dog at Glenwood and Sean Erasmus his under study
Rugby commitments abroad for Dames then made SE in charge
Very very underrated coach this Dames character
