Manie and Willemse are fragile players......a little stress and criticism and they turn to jelly........

This type of trolling make that your fellow Sharks supporters flounce from the board. You are an embarrassment for them.

Amazing that we're writing off 23 year old players. Especially since their development has been disrupted so much over the last 2 seasons. I think Willemse, Libbok and even Curwin Bosch have every chance of becoming fine franchise level playmakers. I'd back Damien to make a step up to Bok level more consistently. Manie and Curwin have a ceiling at provincial level imo.

I see 8bar is definitely leaving

Libbok is very fragile. Wait and we will talk again.
I was thinking back to the Stormers game this weekend. Willemse dropped the first high ball at him yet he didn't fall apart. Maybe his skin has gotten thicker

And 12 is his only position. This was probably his best game for me. He passed. All the time. Dropped a high ball but so did Fassi.....although Fassi was contesting. I waa actually impressed for a change.

Nobody querry Fassi's talent.

Why do you always compare players?

Rumours are that Lood de Jager is going to Stormers. Also that there are quite good chances of a credible equity partner in the pipeline. It would be great for the Lions to find a sugar daddy too.

[OomStruisbaai]

We can only hope.

Slowly putting the pieces back together

Under administration, which is being overseen by former SA Rugby chief executive Rian Oberholzer, the union now has no voting rights at national level. That means it has no say in shaping the future of the South African game at a time when deals to enter the Springboks into the Six Nations and to sell a minority stake of SA Rugby to private equity firm CVC are close to finalisation.

It has been a spectacular fall from grace for a once-great union, although after four months in administration there is stability, which is reflected on the field.

According to several sources, Oberholzer has managed to parlay a deal with Flyt, which is now willing to step back to allow Newlands to be auctioned off in a “sealed bidding process”. Flyt has agreed to settle for an undisclosed amount if a buyer for Newlands can be found during this bidding process.

“This is the cleanest, fairest and most transparent method by which to hopefully secure the sale of Newlands to assist in the long-term sustainability of the Union,” an SA Rugby spokesperson said.

“We are now in a position where we can proceed to a sale, having taken some time to understand … the … sale conversations that [have] taken place.”

The spokesperson said that the sealed bid process was the most transparent method to ensure the best possible outcome for the WPRFU and the prospective purchaser. The process allows parties to submit several bids offering different structures along a set of guidelines issued by the seller, which is the WPRFU under Oberholzer’s administration.

It also prevents any opportunity for the buying party to influence the seller; information is shared simultaneously with all parties and is coordinated externally.

The deadline for the submission of nonbinding offers is 15 April 2022, with submission of final binding offers on 31 May 2022. It is hoped that a sale can be concluded by 7 June 2022.

The fly in the ointment, though, is that, once a bid has been accepted, it has to go back to the WPRFU general council for ratification. The council was a body that was complicit in driving the WPRFU to the brink of insolvency and into administration in the first place.

It will have one last chance to salvage the union when the bidding process is over because a settlement with Flyt and the sale of the development rights to Newlands is the gateway to the future.

According to well-placed sources, there are two heavyweight private equity parties willing to spend more than R130-million to buy a majority stake in the union. But they will only come to the table when the Newlands Stadium issue, and all the WPRFU’s legal issues, have been resolved.

The Stormers are doing their part on the field, but the question is whether the clubs will do the right thing when the time comes to ensure the union survives. DM168

What's the chance the clubs agree?

My bet is slim to non

Thats the negative of having rugby culture in all the areas in a provinces like WP, Boland and EP. Rugby is run by the amateur clubs.

Yeah.
He had an OUTSTANDING debut season and a bit.
Since then he has been decidedly crap.

Much like Nohamba.

Every time a South African scrumhalf stretches his back leg out to get ready for a box kick I shout and throw something at my TV. They do it so slowly too. Almost always results in handing over possession to the opposition. I watched Faf box kicking for Sale Sharks on the weekend. He gets great hang time, very accurate and does it so quickly that the defenders are in two minds about his intentions.

Stefan Ungerer back at Stormers

Scrumhalf Stefan Ungerer will rejoin the DHL Stormers squad next week, having recently signed a two-year deal.

Ungerer played the first five games of the Vodacom United Rugby Championship season for the DHL Stormers on loan and returns next week on a short-term loan, with his two-year contract starting in July.

He will be available for the final league game of the season against Scarlets and will then return to Windhoek Draught Griquas before joining the DHL Stormers squad full-time from July.

Willie Engelbrecht next.

Shameless poaching. Have they no shame?

[OomStruisbaai]

WP change the rolling stones into Springboks.

Shocking stuff. Where are all the youngsters we keep hearing about. To be fair there are no players in the CC putting their hands up at all for WP.
Stormers have to build a whole new URC squad so it's a start. Good luck to them. We need all 3 teams going into the Championship and URC to be strong

[FalseBayFC]

Ungerer is a Maritzburg College Boy. Nice to see KZN continue to supply the world with top class players. Hopefully he'll get some wins under the belt. In the last 25 games he's played (for the Kings and Scarlets) he's been on the winning side in 2/25 games. A true pro.

Jesus!

[OomStruisbaai]

However he played a massive role last year for Griquas beating the Sharks in Durban

Dweba confirmed for Stormers. Finally they can retire Scarra! Great signing for the Capies!

[OomStruisbaai]

Awesome!

They borrowed Wilmar Arnoldi from the Cheetahs for the Leicester match. Andre-Hugo Venter from Grey Bloem is their other hooker. They have no shame in their poaching.
