The Official Saffer rugby thread

[Blake]

Any idea of what is meant with “from within a bio safe environment”?

Probably means something similar to “The Bubble” that NBA players are supposed to stay in.

Basically players are to have no physical contact with the “outside world” during the season. Stay isolated as a group and away from their families until the season is over.

Jusefis who would sign up for that?

Athletes with very short professional careers I guess.
Their earning potential is limited as is, so it is a sacrifice many will have to make for their chosen career path.

The Sun City idea is interesting and actually makes a lot of sense. NBA teams are being bubbled up at Disney World.

Some idiot?

Tomorrow we will hear when our competitions starts.

No crowds mean WP/Stormers will be hit the hardest.

Vrystaat needs every bit of good news, dont spoil it.

[assfly]

They need more than good news, they need a miracle.

What tournament are they going to play in next year?

Last time I checked they were the CC champs.

Which is fine, but what will they do if there is no SR or Pro14 to play in? They'll go bust.

[Sards]

Cheetahs did really well in the CC with Ruan.
They really get the short end of the stick. Yet the Lions get a pass when they produce absolute rubbish

[Sards]

Who would want a contract with WP right now.....
Poor suckers that bought into the union...

[assfly]

WP fans - what is your take on this?

I personally would not want anyone associated with the ANC near my team, nevermind his total inexperience in rugby and business.

WP is fortunate to develop enough PoCs, so there wont be political pressure even if we have Malema as president. If he is a rugby man as they claimed, thats good enough.

Now if it was the Cheetahs/Bulls/Lions/Pumas/Griquas, then it would be a total different story.

This also may help Kolisi's political future.

Look like the top 4 CC teams will qualify. They may have a better change to qualify then the Lions if you ask me .

WP already have the top Springbok plus most talented youngsters. Why would they buy more players if they bring the best youngsters through their own structures?

[assfly]

Some of Sale's Boks have been "called up" to a Bok camp.

I wonder if this means the idea of a Europe based team is gathering steam?

They tried to buy Bosch. But the lure of a stukkie wyn instead of cash weekly didn't go down. Now WP is stuck with what they have

If he’s calling up Sale players, his plan is to lose. They are all playing kak.

Yeah they are stuck with Paul Roos talented youngsters like Kade Wolhuter, & Mossie. The very best schoolboys 10s in 2017 & 2018.

But then you won't know. I told you about Bosch looonnngg before you even know about him.

Your the expert on playing kaalgat weg kruipertjie with kids and smoke pappegaai twak. Stick to that.

It will be interesting to see what Bra Ebrahiem brings to the table at the WP.
The City of Cape Town wasn't exactly well run under his administration. So he might be a perfect fit at Newlands, or the Cape Town stadium.

And they appear to be playing better with MacGinty at 10 instead of Rob du Preez.

I just want to hear him call the IRB World Player of the Year a donkey. His saltiness sustains me

[assfly]

With Lood, Eben and RG Snyman all injured, we may be forced to put PSdT back at lock.

[average joe]

The donkey has a World Cup Winners medal that he actually deserved getting. The tuna breath show pony doesn't. I know who I'll go with.

Oh goodness, I forgot about him

There's also Schickerling. We churn out good locks like a factory.

So the Lions or Sharks could miss out of the PRO Whatever according to Kempson.

Lions should be absorbed into the Bulls.
