Happy New Year everyone, best wishes for 2025!

Seeing Waylon Murray play for the Boks is high up the list of my favourite moments as a supporter. Two sons of Westville in the same team? I will be standing to attention trying to hold the tears back.

I'm am not a chicken licken Sharks supporter like the suspiciously Zimbo Assfly and Scot ...

I instead await Hooker and Wright both becoming Boks. :thumbup:

You'll be waiting a long time....sit here in this comfortable chair:

Jake White accuses Moody of overeating in his time with the Boks, and that he's come back to the Bulls out of shape.

I'm not sure if this is something you should really be saying at a press conference, but rather during a private conversation with the S&C team.

Yeah I read that and thought ...

Right

Needed a drink after the game, just in

The red card. Fucking hell. It wasn’t Cummings, it was Darge. They reviewed it and escalated the punishment for the wrong prayer. Absolute bunch of clowns for that. Also, Darge found himself in the position where he was going to roll tha player back ...

Having watched Scotland live last weekend - admittedly through pub crawl eyes - SA will demolish them. Too big, too fast and too strong.

Yep. This false modesty on the part of springbok fans is just such a pile of wank.

False modesty my ass, were just giving credit where it's due. Not our ...

The Boks always put plastic bags over our heads and suffocate us, this week won't be any different. We will score two or so nice tries, but SA will win. This is how it is. Townsend is not Franco Smith, and apart from the two wingers who are generally useful, there will be too many Edinburgh ...

No...

Exactly the opposite...no point having Springboks if they are constantly following rest protocols

Someone suggested that its to give the Stormers a chance when we play them with a CC side

Well you can't have it both ways.....

RIP Globus. He sure was a character.

R155 per kg

Pretty decent price for local butchery.

Sounds good Chilli, what are you paying per kg?

I,ll never underestimate Franco Smith. He started with Shimlas (uni of Free State) and know Craven Stadium better then most.

How does knowing a stadium make him a good coach?

Following on to this, Everett should never coach a losing team at Kings Park.

I'm starting to think that ...

Why?

Getting divorced from Rachel? Don't know why that would stop him.

Hanekom is unlucky.

My biggest surprise is that he was not selected, even just to go on tour and start experiencing the Bok camp. Really strange one.

I think he just uses that because it works with this group of players...the "Us against the world" mentality is useful in this curated group of individuals, where he can lean in hard on their struggles and and the adversity they have overcome as a tool to motivate them and create bonds ...

Happy birthday Sards.

You "deal with it" the way you deal with any child: you love and support them.

I was going to try and respond to the post, but sadly realised it would not serve any purpose.

We're just drowning our sorrows. Want to join us? I'm buying.

Don't think Masuka has the immaculate sense of style and taste that Willemse has Sards. Don't be so jealous man.

I wish I had made a copy of that fb short. You would be going

Jokes aside, don't let it bother you too much. Tolerance should be something you always teach ...

Well I think we can safely scratch number 10 off Willemse CV. But we can add yoga model and dancer.

Your 10 has not been that good either. What have you done to him? What's worse? Being a ten and being crap, or being a 15 playing at ten and being crap?

Sharks are playing their Currie Cup side and look shit doing so.
Stormers are just shitter.

Looking for Lions and Bulls to get to the final 8

Shittier. We win at being shit. Deal with it.

Wales online are reporting these two formats are being considered. I think Wales Online has a reputation for being full of tabloid bullshit? But it does provide something to go on regarding the formats they're looking at.

Two divisions with promotion relegation = that is the get rid of SA and ...

He is from fucking Struisbaai not Edinburgh.

I'm not from Embra either and will use that particular colloquialism. Getting upset because someone has used a common name for the city/team that you weren't aware of seems a bit daft.

It goes about Oom, not you Scots.

They are playing against Edinburgh, I think.

Edinburgh = Embra

Sharks Currie Cup team is exactly that.

Short answer is yes.

I agree with most of what Tim says. (Including getting rid of the bloody goal line dropout. I absolutely farking hate it.)

Nice payday for everyone

URC is tops. :thumbup:

It is great to get these big crowds at some of the games. Hope the game itself will live up to the occasion. I would have loved to go to that game. Went to a couple of games at Croker but was mostly to experience GAA.
Maybe the Bulls ...

Beautiful!

And it would seem both are better fishermen than their dad.

As much as I wanted to and all the facilities were there...I didn't braai once over the weekend away.
One thing I was not prepared for was the lack of quality meat etc available in Witsands.
We expected to buy there but not to be. And the shops close at 16.30....thats ridiculous. You only get off ...

It looks like a weekend of ABSOLUTELY PERFECT WEATHER in the hills above Jeffreys Bay.
29°C today, 34°C tomorrow and 25°C on Sunday with no wind.

Braai plans are
Stuffed chicken thighs and lamb chops tonight
Pork ribs and boerewors Saturday night
Leg of lamb for Sunday lunch.

Typical Stomp supporters discussing the Stormers on the Springbok thread [/Sards]

Yeah it's everywhere currently. Manie is a hot topic. Basically it's the WP supporters and the Cape Crusaders in the Manie court and the rest of South Africa in the other court. We have heard it all over and over again. Ad nauseum. The general consensus.
If you rate him. Keep him

Sharkies ...

Well for years the French used a goal-kicking #9 to cover for Freddie Michalak because he was so good at running the backline and putting players into space......the Bok flyhalf doesn't HAVE to be the goal kicker.

Closer to home we had Rugby World Cup winner Butch James in 2007.
