@Smallies: mmmmmmmmmmm,Bulls trying to improve on their shocking record of last year and by all account looks like they succeeding….. 2016 GK champs fighting for the wooden spoon…. again…shocking… but who cares….?….Right….?
MmmmmmmmmmFreestate, vs Border Saterday… De ja vu???
@Bush: Cadre deployment it’s best
@Playa: That sounds like a lekker job. Well done ffs.
@Bush: I’m the technical advisor to the technical advisor
@Smallies: het hom nou gesien
stem saam -bitter goed-sal hom net teen beter opposisie wil sien-maar hy het alles
@The Beast: Always the case when we are winning
I doubt we qualify for the “final” though
@The Beast: Border Schools looking kuk hot. I think Playa has some influence there??♀️??♀️??♀️??♀️
Seems as though the selectors got it spot on this year, lads? Or what do you say?
@Playa:Its sad. In my opinion Border has two scrumhalves; T.Bursey(Selborne College) and Sine Xaso (Cambridge). Unfortunately, Sine is injured maybe that might explain his omission. Knowing BRU, they would have not picked him in any case.
@Veg: There are few anomalies in this make up:
I can count Dale prop reps in one hand since Greg Somerville in 95.
1.QC having no reps. I have thought as far as I can and I cannot find one instance of this
2.Selborne was expected. But 16 reps was not. I don’t think this has ever happened before in any other province outside of Vrystaat
3.Stirling having 3 reps. The rugby gods must be thinking we’ve come to the end of days.
4.Dale’s only rep being a prop! For a school that is famed for its backline this is just too out of order
Not an anomaly but I feel the Cambridge 9 and 13 will feel hard done by not making it. Not to say those there don’t deserve it as I haven’t been close enough to the action to make that call. But what I’ve seen of them has been impressive.
@boerboel: hy was 2017 sa greensquad so hy sal beslis in die running wees, nou eers gr 11…
@boerboel: jy het seker nie vir goosen al gesien jol nie… Maar kom ons wag maar vir die keurders…
@Smallies: nee JJ kotze van Paul ROOS behoort gemaklik die SA sSKOLE NR 2 TE WEES
Jaques Goosen sa skole???
@Veg: It’s strange I must admit. I may be too young to give an on answer this one.
I don’t agree with this selection. Selborne is strong this year, yes, but not 16 players good IMHO. I think playing Avuyile Mabece at SH is a huge mistake, but we’ll see how that works out.
When was the last time that there wasn’t a single Queenian in the side?
