Dweba coming back. Maybe to the Stormers? Would be a great signing.

WP have reportedly also already signed contracts with Griquas scrumhalf Stefan Ungerer, Cheetahs fullback Clayton Blommetjies and Pumas loose forward Willie Engelbrecht.
Meanwhile, loose forward Junior Pokomela has signed a three-year deal that will see him play for the Stormers until at least 2024.
I've been on leave.
Does anyone know what’s happened to Sandstorm? He didn’t post for months here, maybe on PR?
Not on PR either. Maybe got a new MRS, keeping him busy.Marylandolorian wrote: Wed May 11, 2022 3:42 pmDoes anyone know what’s happened to Sandstorm? He didn’t post for months here, maybe on PR?

Springbok flyhalf Elton Jantjies was reportedly arrested at OR Tambo International Airport after landing from Dubai on Sunday morning.

"We've been informed of Elton's arrest, but we are still in the process of gathering more information and can't say anything at this stage," an SA Rugby spokesperson was quoted by News24.
The police said the player was arrested for “malicious damage to property.”
“The man was arrested upon arrival at ORTIA this morning at 08:50. The suspect was on an international flight from Dubai to SA when he allegedly damaged property belonging to the airline,” said Gauteng police spokesperson Colonel Athlenda Mathe.
Apparently he was attempting to break down the planes kakhuis door using his fist. It is alleged that a stewardess was hiding in said kakhuis and that he was yelling "kom nou skatjie" whilst banging on the door until his fist bled. After failing to get the poor scared little dove to open the door for him he returned to his seat bleeding all over the place.OomStruisbaai wrote: Sun May 15, 2022 3:08 pm Look like they struggle to get the bok out of Janties.

He's always struck me as a mild-mannered, reserved guy. Sometimes those types let it all out when they've had a skinful.assfly wrote: Mon May 16, 2022 6:06 am Eish. Elton. Will wait to hear the full story, but not a good look.
We need him for RWC next year.
He was better than Pollard for the better part of last year.
I'd back him to do a Stephen Donald type job for us if we go deep into the knock-out stages and Pollard goes down. He's become a pretty solid no.10. We don't need flash or flair in knock-out games. Just a dependable kicker who can pass the ball and defend his channel.assfly wrote: Mon May 16, 2022 6:56 amHe was better than Pollard for the better part of last year.
But I've no idea what form he (or any of our Japan-based players) is in.

The 37-year-old retired from international rugby last year after playing 68 Tests since making his debut against the British & Irish Lions in 2009. As was the case in the 2009, Steyn was South Africa's hero in the 2021 Lions series as his late penalty in the third Test helped the Boks to a 2-1 series victory.11 Jan 2022OomStruisbaai wrote: Mon May 16, 2022 8:41 amMorne Steyn can do this 100% better.FalseBayFC wrote: Mon May 16, 2022 7:59 amI'd back him to do a Stephen Donald type job for us if we go deep into the knock-out stages and Pollard goes down.

But will never be a Bok. He's not Bok material. Leolin Zas on the other hand is becoming a monster. I wouldn't mind seeing Zas in a Bok squad as cover for Cheslin.
Why not? He is the Stormers defensive organizer, which is the best of the SA teams, he was a 7 specialist, so attink outstanding like yesterday's tries.FalseBayFC wrote: Sat May 21, 2022 9:43 pmBut will never be a Bok.

He's certainly improved a great deal but not sure that we need to cap a 31 year old centre right now. If he was 5 years younger he might be worth a punt.OomStruisbaai wrote: Sun May 22, 2022 5:49 amWhy not?

The Stormers have by far the best attacking/defensive backline at the moment.
Attitude?
Ja, I've never like Nel, even when he played 7s. Likes to throw his toys out of his cot when when things don't go his way. Shouts at his teammates when they don't send him a nice pass. Just seems like a bit of a doos to me.OomStruisbaai wrote: Mon May 23, 2022 6:22 amAttitude?
Then Hendrikse shouldn't get near the Bok team.
Hendrikse is just not a good scrumhalf yet. He's got some skills and is a good athlete but doesn't do the basics well enough. And he you're right is he a little kont! Even for a scrumhalf.OomStruisbaai wrote: Mon May 23, 2022 6:22 amAttitude?

He claims his account was hacked and it wasn’t him.
As always the denial makes it sooooo much worse and has given the story so much more oxygen.
