    @Smallies: Eienskappe van ‘n goeie span.
    Maar Shimlas het nie veel uitstaande spelers gehad nie en danksy coaching bo hul vermoëns gespeel.

    @Wondermaar: Great comeback gewees van Tuks.
    Trots op oud-Garsies en Grey manne in die span.
    Lincoln Daniels, kaptein; en speler van die wedstryd Stephan Smit is oud-Garsies wat saam op skool gespeel het, so ook Chad-Lee Valentine paar jaar na hulle. Dian Schoonees is ‘n yster van Grey!

    @Balikibaba: I respect people’s constitutional right to bodily integrity and security, and not to vaccinate, regardless the fact that that choice is based on anti-science superstition. However, I expect antivaxxers to respect my right to bodily integrity and security, based on peer reviewed scientific consensus, and not enter public spaces, large (close contact) rugby tournaments etc too. Antivaxxers have their own, incomprehensible choice, my children and I have ours. Most bloggers received vaccinations for e.g. measles and polio, plus various boosters, and those were all compulsory for at least attending school.

    @Gemini: stem saam met jou ,daar is blykbaar drie of vier stelle reels wat vir sekere groepe geld ,die beste roep is dat die regering die Grondwethof moes nader en n regs mening kry en dan EEN stel vax reels ingestel het…

    @Smallies: Die probleem lê by inkonsekwentheid. As Grey bv.teen Paul Roos speel,is daar nie verpligte vax nie. As dieselfde spelers van Grey en Paul Roos egter wil CWeek toe gaan,dan is dit verpligtend.Loop die virus nie by gewone wedstryde nie?
    Die geloofwaardigheid van Covid maatreëls het myns insiens lank reeds begin gly.

    @Deon: Im very exciting about your answer on my question( im not anti vax or pro vax)
    I want to publish your detailed answer on all social media platforms with your consent?( because up to now nobody can give me the answer)
    At THIS TIME: April 2022. Considered everything around covid
    1. Spreading not sto by vaccine.
    2. Natural immunity
    3. No biological or whatsoever proof that the vaccine has NO NEGATIVE EFFECT on the human body.
    How do ANYBODY still make the point ( especially vaxed person that?? CANT?? get seriously ill anymore off covid 19)
    THAT THE VAXINATION CREATE A SAFER ENVIRONMENT IN PUBLIC SPACES?

    I think your thorough answer wil maybe help SA to a 100 % vacination rate??.

    @Ploegskaar I agree 100%. Israel at one point had the world’s highest vaccination rate yet had a sky high infection rate. The vaccine did nothing to prevent the spread of infection. But it would still be termed a virus of “the unvaccinated” Then talk of a 4th shot started doing the rounds which the Pfizer CEO was very pleased about. Its’s quietened down a lot in Europe – Germany and Austrian governments did their best to push through compulsory vaccine laws but I think Summer and falling infections scuppered their plans. It was all pretty scary at one point. I’m waiting for it all to start up again in the Winter. I mean if we give our dogs 3 rabies jabs and he still gets rabies we have to vra a few questions haha. I know other manne on here have positive thoughts and experiences about the vaccine and that’s cool – that Delta variant was pretty hectic and I’m sure vaccines prevented serious illness but I don’t believe one person has a moral obligation to society to get vaccinated as the vaccine doesn’t stop me infecting someone else. Anyway that’s my spieel manne… I’m rambling on here.

    @Balikibaba: OK, but just as you have the right to bodily security and safety and choice in terms of the constitution and plain old good manners, so do I. So, if you choose to not vaxx, good, but stay at home and respect my right to the safest possible work, sport and public environment, which the vaxx provides. No-one had the choice to vaxx for polio and measles either.

    @Balikibaba: Agreed. People bring up other vaccines (Polio etc) as if they are comparable to these vaccines however those vaccines aren’t approved under emergency use regulations. These are still under trial that’s why there is so much pushback and its in an area that SARU shouldn’t have ventured.

    @Djou: The jab does not prevent contraction or spread. That has been confirmed by the CDC and FDA and has also been reflected in the data from countries with 70%+ jab rates, i.e. Israel, UK and Australia, to name a few. So based on efficacy this is a flawed policy. It is only about control and power, nothing else

    @Djou Hmm interesting I did not realise that this vaccination requirement extended into senior rugby. I’ve been in the UK over this Corona time and all Covid restrictions have been dropped – no masks, no testing nadda.Packed sports stadiums as well whereas in SA there are have 50000 seater stadiums limited to 5000 people? Over here its like Covid didn’t even happen. So it just seems odd to me SARU are still going on about vaccinations for this ultra mild Omicron which we see as a natural vaccination. Maybe SA is further behind in getting over Corona. Good to read about everyone’s view on it. It always gets everyone worked up haha

    @Henkies: I disagree – even if a few prominent schools object. Tournaments will go ahead. SARU follows the correct protocol and can’t allow for some to be vaccinated and others not. It will make a mockery of their policy.
    The policy is not about power, it is about limiting the spread of the virus.
    In any case, as I asked above, if they don’t vaccinate, they will not get professional provincial contracts after school.

    @Jong Matie: You are right. Players aren’t being dragged down to vaccination centres to be jabbed. Of course if they want to play in the tournament though, they have to be vaccinated. So those who do not want to be vaccinated are unable to participate. It is all about power I guess. If Grey College and Gim both said “No thanks SARU, we aren’t interested in taking part if boys are forced to be vaccinated” SARU would think twice. If then more schools joined the bandwagon and suddenly 10 of the 20 top schools said they will not take part, SARU would realise there could be no Craven Week and they would reverse their decision in a few days. That’s something I would love to see but that’s my personal view – others will think differently. I just don’t get why it applies to Craven Week? I don’t think Currie Cup players have to be vaccinated to participate.

    @Jong Matie: I am not sure about your point.

    Measels and Rubella vaccinations is common. Yellow fever for certain destinations is compulsory. Traveling overseas a passport is compulsory.

    The right to choose to vaccinate your child is not in the Bill of Rights, so choose and abide by the decision’s consequences.

    I am not sure what all this moaning is about.

    Nobody at SARU is forcing anyone to do anything.

    @Mate: This is typical of a bully. Such a small amount of boys get the opportunity to play CW and by knowing the importance of this to the boys SARU force them (no choice) to do something that might not be good for them. I think the unions should push-back and suggest a negative PCR test on the most.
