Nice little highlights reel of AE's recent form:

So the defender rips the ball of him, randomly it lands in his teammate's bread basket...

Yes, that's an excellent summary.

Nice little highlights reel of AE's recent form:

AP Cronje has more than a small man-crush.

Holy crap. That is positively Sardesque. Must have taken hours.

[assfly]

You should have seen his crash and offload yesterday to set up Marchant for a try.

Caught a bit of DdA last night, nothing amazing but judging by the commentators he seems to have a good reputation for Munster.

[Blake]

Anybody been able to follow Joseph Dweba's run at Bordeaux?

Looked like such a good prospect, but he's dropped off my radar since moving to France.
Is he still playing well? Or is he getting shown up up there?

[assfly]

Finally got a chance to see de Allende play. Probably Munster's best player on the day. Great news for the Boks that he's in such good form.

Jasper Wiese also playing phenomenal rugby for Leicester. He's an absolute monster at 8, can't believe I've never heard of him before he left SA. But such is the story of so many players.

Dweba scored a try for Bordeaux on the weekend. Seems he is on the Stormers shopping list. Mbonambi off to the Sharks.

Also missed Wiese's career so far, but he seems an absolute beast.

There must be something really wrong with our system that a super player like this goes missing.

He looks like a potential understudy to Vermeulen, same style of play. Monster from the back of the scrum and his tackle and ruck statistics are ridiculous.

Ja. I just watched a few highlights of him playing. He is just the type of player that we need.
Sadly we will land up with Janro August or Bevan Roux

Thanks. That's excellent news, both regarding his form and his potential move to Cape Town.
Massively underrated player IMO. Does everything you'd expect from a hooker well, and then some.
Was a standout player for the Cheetahs in Pro14.

Augustus needs to move to the Bulls and learn from Thor. He can be a great. Stompies isn't a good place for him.

[handyman]

Let's hope Dweba has matured a bit.

[OomStruisbaai]

Marco van Staden

I wouldn't have him at 8.

You have Duanne. If he get injured Marco can move there. He played a lot of times for the Bulls in 8. I like Willie Engelbrecht from the Pumas. He is a vokken yster.

Or Jacques Rudolph from Cheetahs, Gideon van Wyk from Griquas. All of them deserve higher level.

Rudolph should be the one.

Agreed. Marco is my front runner to take Flouw’s spot after his retirement.

Hasn't he already retired?

As I understand it, he has yes. Probably should have phrased that "...after his recent retirement"

[boere wors]

Ja, Marcel Coetzee and Marco are the next in line to replace Flo. Hence we will see Marco there. Isnt Marcel injured again?!

Marcel is broken. Again. Not even Discovery are interested in signing him.

Rhule and Lleyds featuring in the Sale/LR highlights with 3 tries between them. This is supposed to be a tougher comp than the Pro 14.

I reckon our teams will do really well in the Pro14, might take a season or 2 to get used to it though.

They both did very well, and both had a couple of try-assists to their name. Sale Sharks were dreadful, none of the Saffas put in a good shift there.

Champions Cup is a lot tougher than Pro14. La Rochelle are currently 2nd in the Top 14 and a lot of credit is being given Ronan O'Gara as well as how they recruit for their style of play.

Leinster are the team in the Pro14 that scare me.

Gerhard van den Heever called up by Japan

I had the strangest dream
In the bundu bush of Africa
I was king of kings
There I stood, the jungle lion
I, had the strangest dream
Shadows, Shadows, Shadows
I'm waiting, waiting
In the Shadows
The lion, hunting down the lover
Burning with the hunger
In your eyes I saw fear
Though you stood like a silver spear
Trembling in the wind
I smelt the scent your sweet, sweet scent
Your eyes, so full of fear
Shadows, Shadows, Shadows
I'm waiting, waiting
In the Shadows
The lion, hunting down the lover
Burning with the hunger
I muscled into attack
My body arching through the air
You became a burning bush
And I a victim of your snare
Shadows, Shadows, Shadows
I'm waiting, waiting
In the Shadows
The lion, hunting down the lover
Burning with the hunger
With the hunger, with the hunger
Woh, Shadows
Woh, Shadows
Shadows
With the hunger, Shadows.

Jeez, I cringe when I remember the eighties! White boys in string ties and parachute pants. Pastel shirts with rolled up sleeves, eVoid, The Soft Shoes...

Great song!

[Sards]

My word Chilli....that brings back memories. I remember watching them perform at some club that probably does not exist anymore on the Berea in Durban....so long ago. I remember I got into trouble that night. Ended up climbing out a window to escape after waking up in a strange bed with a strange woman down the south coast...and hitchhiking back to Durban to find my car

[assfly]

I always thought Wonderboom wrote that song. Saw them play in PE many moons ago, great band live.
