Is that the same Brok Harris who was at Dragons? Thought he was about at retirement age.

I think he’s 36. We still need experienced props until our Boks get back.

He was good against Munster. Real test on saturday against WP

Turns out he will be up against Luan de Bruin instead. It's his first league start for us, so no idea how good he is.

Rudolph Struaeli's son playing at no.8. Quite a few Springbok offspring playing at the moment. Du Preez brothers, Ruaan Pienaar, Ruan Ackerman, Dan du Plessis, Cobus Reinach, Andre Hugo-Venter. You could probably put a decent XV together.

Jesse Kriel's great grandfather was a British Lion.

The reason why they are kak?

[OomStruisbaai]

Piet Spiere was one of the strongest TH Springboks. Those days he played for Riebeeck West rugby club. He was president of the club, my late oldest Boet secretary.. My broer died in a motor accident close to their farm Kloovenburg back in 1972.

There is absolutely no need to be so officious. That last penalty has no affect on play.
