Damn...Schalk Britz has been so inspirational to Toppies all over the world.Southbridge confirmed that Dan Carter has made himself available for Saturday’s fixture against West Melton.
You'd played more games than the Crusaders. It's not a hard concept to grasp. We were actually ahead if you divide points accrued by the number of games played.Sards wrote: Wed Jul 01, 2020 12:37 am So they handed the Kiwis the Sevens title but not the Sharjs the SR title

Canary Yellow.
I doubt we will ever go back to 55 pages for a Sharks vs Saders match thread like the old days...With a year still of lockdown its just easier to have all the rugby kak on one thread...but if you feel that a dedicated Stormers thread may gain some traction go for it...from experience notSandstorm wrote: Wed Jul 01, 2020 1:21 pm Question Boete: Do we want a NPR Group like The Swarm?

Wie was daai vet outjie wat stut vir WP gespeel het. Hy't geboer iewers aan die Weskus. Altyd onfiks gelyk maar so sterk soos 'n bees.... Ah, onthou nou.

He described himself as wild in his playing days and would ride the likes of Kitshoff and Beast like a Hardley Davidson.
Interesting. Hempies was yster

We will have to be bored to death with the Crusaders poesklapping all the NZ teams and the Aussies playing shut but competitive rugby.
An extended rest period for our players could be a good thing in the long run. Try to control that what you can and the rest is up in the air.average joe wrote: Thu Jul 16, 2020 1:00 pmDon't even know how long that will last with the plague about.

Unfortunately for him, that 7 jersey belongs to PSdT. He'll have to wait until there is an opening due to injury or Rassie is ready to experiment.Lemoentjie wrote: Fri Jul 17, 2020 7:02 am Sards... what do you reckon about JLdP's Bok chances? Might not get another chance until he comes back

https://www.news24.com/sport/rugby/supe ... y-20200717New Zealand Rugby (NZR) on Friday revealed plans to cull South African teams and Argentina's Jaguares from Super Rugby next year, in what would be a ruthless shake-up for the struggling competition.
Apparently a full response coming this week, meanwhile...
https://www.news24.com/sport/rugby/supe ... n-20200718Nothing has been officially confirmed yet, but the announcement made New Zealand's position on the need to move the tournament forward without South Africa very clear.
SA Rugby CEO Jurie Roux is expected to hold a press conference next week where further information is expected, but on Friday the organisation released a short statement in response to the news out of New Zealand, acknowledging that it had been informed of New Zealand's plans
Bless these Kiwi's, they are finally forcing us to do what we should have done ages ago - join an easy rugby comp which we may have a chance of winning, and keep all our players/have our players play in the same comp/comps.
Proposed or conformed? I think SupeRugby is dead, but the PRO14/16/18 is no better. The better teams send weakened teams to play the bottom teams. We need to play in a premier competition.Mr. White wrote: Tue Jul 21, 2020 8:30 am Are there any discussion about New Zealand dumping our asses out of Super rugby?
