The world’s best scrumhalf dropped a big bomb, or should we say that the media, ala Tim Horan, leaked out a possible move from the Reds to the Force in 2013 for Will Genia. Although Genia reacted in saying that nothing was signed, he decided yesterday to change is mind and stay with the current SupeRugby Champions. Genia was offer a $600 000 deal with the Force, but accepted a $100 000 less Reds contract. That’s what you call loyalty ladies and gentlemen!
Genia going to the Force?
Will Genia het ‘n groot bom laat ontplof deur nou al
bekend te maak dat hy Brisneyland vir Perth gaan verruil! Wes-Australia is
mynbou wereld en Genia is seker ‘n kleingoudmyntjie aangebied om die huidge
SupeRugby kampioene te verlaat. Het dit enigsins iets te doen met die feit dat
die Force se voormalige afrigter Richard Graham volgende jaar die kitaar gaan
slaan en nie Ewan McKenzie nie? Hmmm is hier ‘n koala in die gras? David
Poccock het ook aangedui dat hy nie vir Jake White se gevry gaan swig nie.
Hoekom sal een van die wereld se beste ‘fetchers’ vir White gaan speel as
laasgenoemde nie eers glo aan ‘fetchers’ nie! Die Force moet nou ‘n wereldklas
afrigter aanstel. Nick Mallet sal great wees, maar wonder wat Graham Henry
vannaand in Perth gedoen het?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Te veel rugby en oplossings. SARU doen iets!
Iemand moet egter nou die baie rugby stop! Heyneke Meyer en SARU sal êrens moet sê “hokaai, genoeg is genoeg’! Vandag se spelers is beslis groter en sterker as die ‘brekers’ in die amateur dae; maar vandag se manne speel baie meer en baie strawwer wedstryde as daai vorige ‘brekers’. OK, ek weet dat sommige amateurs hard gewerk het; bv boere was ens, en dan nogsteeds langafstande gery het om te oefen, maar hul was nie deel van vandag se uitmergellende rugbykalender nie. In die ou dae was dit eers klubrugby, dan provinsiaal en dan toetse vir sommiges. Die isolasie jare was daar bittermin toetse.
Vandag is dit Superrugby wat al in Februarie afskop (oefeninge sluit kort voor Kersfees en skop in Januarie af). Dit is nie klubrugby nie, dit is die bestes van die drie top rugbylande in die wêreld. Beserings is deel van enige sport en die wat dink rugby is ‘n kontaksport, dink weer. Rugby is nie ‘n kontaksport nie; dans en krieket is bevoorbeeld kontaksporte. Rugby is a colision sport!
Die Stormers, Leeus en Reds is sover erg getref duer beserings. alhoewel die Stormers puik diepte in sekere posisies het vanjaar is dit nogsteeds erg om sonder Schalk Burger, Andries Bekker en Jean de Villiers te speel. Nou is Gio Aplon en Duane Vermeulen ook weer op die krukkelys. James O’Connor, het ‘n knie teen die lewer gekry en is opgeneem in die hospitaal. Hy kan dalk ses weke uit wees. Tog moet daar besef word dat te veel rugby grootliks bydrae tot al die beserings. Dit blyk Vermeuelen se besering gaan hom weer uit die Groen en Goud hou!
Die adminstrateurs en Meyer moet spelers verbied om in elke Super15 wedstryd te speel. Jou topspelers moet ook nie Curriebekerrugby speel nie. Toetse, dan Super15 voor Curriebekerrugby en klaar. Om jou land te verteenwoordig is BAIE meer belangrik as provinsiale rugby! SARU moet dus die landse voorste topspelers ten volle kontrakteer en nie die provinsies nie. So sal SARU meer sê hê in spelers se welvaart.
Na al die onlangse geskel en gekla oor Meyer se teruglok van oues van dae, het ek en ‘n blogger Ian, met ‘n oplossing gekom vir die Pomme reeks. Meyer sal natuurlik sy loopbaan wil afskop met wenne en dit is reg, Springbokke moet wen. Maar kom ons veronderstel dat die Stormers en Bulle die Super15 uitkloprondtes gaan maak (persoonlik dink ek daar gaan nog baie water vloei voor dit ‘n feit gaan wees), moet Meyer geen speler vir die eerste Boktoets oorweeg nie. Daar is oorgenoeg talent in SA om die Pomme te klop. Die vraag/kwessie is, hoe gaan daai spelers voel om uit te mis op ‘n Springbok toets en die geld daaraan verbonde. Daarom sê ek; nooi hul Bokkamp toe in week 1, maar moet hul nie in die eerste toets speel nie. Wen of verloor die Bokke dan kan hul in die tweede toets speel en indien die reeks 2-0 is in die guns van die Bokke, laat rus hul weer. Indien die reeks egter 1-1 is, kies jou beste Bokspan. Manne soos Juandre Kruger, Eben Etsebeth, Steven Kitshoff en Duane Vermeuelen moet egter die geleentheid kry om in Junie die Groen en Goud aan te trek. Hul verdien dit en Toetsrugby kom voor S15.
Kies die Bokspan vir die eerste toets:
14: L Mvovo 15: P Lambie 11: B Basson
13: JP Pietersen 12: F Steyn
10: J Goosen 9: F du Preez/R Pienaar
8: K Daniel 7: W Alberts 6: H Brussow
5: V Matfield 4: B Botha
3: J du Plessis 2: B du Plessis 1: C Oosthuizen/ B Mtwarira
PS: Interessant dat Meyer bereid is om Matfield te probeer oortuig om terug te kom. ‘n Speler wat nie eers meer speel nie. As dit dan net vir ‘n instaan-kaptein is , hoekom nie John vetsak Smit, wat tans nog speel, inroep nie? Hmmm, Meyer besef wat ons almal al vir twee jaar gesê het, dat Johnno in 2009 al moes plek verloor het in die Bokspan!
PS2: dinge lyk nie goed vir die beseerde Stormers nie. Schalk Burger uit tot Julie, Vermeulen uit vir +6 maande. Jean de Villiers behoort vir die 19 Mei vs Warathas reg te wees en Gio Aplon reg vir die Cheethas. De Villiers kan dus as Bokkaptein oorweeg word!
Stormers verf Brisvegas Red!
‘n Puik span poging deur die Stormers het hul weer stewig laat seil op koers na glorie. Dit sit nie sommer in enige span om die Reds, verdedigende kampioen, hier in Brisvegas te klop nie. Die Reds het nou slegs 3 uit hul laaste 21 wedstryd hier verloor. Toegegee, die Aussie spanne se ‘regtige diepe’, speel AFL en Liga’ en daarom sou dit maar geknor het vir die Rooigevaar om die SA vlagskip te laat sink na al hul beserings vanjaar. Die Stormers was ook sonder groot wapens in hul arsenaal; Jean de Villiers, Andries Bekker en Schalk Burger is bo-baas Springbokke en lewende legendes van Groen en Goud-rugby. Dus was dit ‘n puik wen vir die Kaapse Stormtroepe. Gister se span was ‘n gemiddelde 23 jaar oud. Teken hul almal vas en koop ‘n skrummie dan sal die Kaap Hollands wees vir ‘n langtyd.
Om manne uit te sonder is half onregverdig, aangesien die Kaapenaars slegs in die lynstane soms mis gekorrel het. Hul verdediging was weereens die Berlynse muur, tog was dit hul teenaanvalle wat die Reds oorhoops gehad het. Gio Aplon is die beste Bokvleuel en klaar…hoor jy Heyneke Meyer? Dit was ook die bydraes van die ‘ouer-evare’ manne wat die puik jonges wat nou al die hele jaar besing word saam geneem het. Peter Grant was manjefiek. Bryan Habana se ‘groot werkverrigting’ is baie meer effektief op senter. Behalwe vir ‘n paar swak aangee, was hy baie goed.
Voorlangs was Steven Kitshoff, Rynardt Elstadt, Siya Kolisi en Duane Vermeulen dikstingels. Vermeulen het ook die leierskaps toets met ‘n goue ster geslaag.
Die Bulle vaar nogsteeds sterk saam en alhoewel die Brumbies die ‘kakiedraers in die Dutchmen Fortress’ amper stil gespeel het, in die eerste paar minute, na die Canberra wilde perde twee puik driee in 4 minute gedruk het, het die Bulle nogsteeds gewen. Die Bulle skuld Marius Jonker ‘n huis in Centurion, want hy het die Brumbies bevark. Die Bulle kon voor die SA vlagskip gewees het indien die Bulle ‘n bonuspunt verdien het. Die Bulle se agterspelers het beindruk met hul goeie hande en verspreiding by tye. Stephen Larkham se invloed by die Brumbies is duidelik sigbaar in hul agterspel se bewegings en aanvalslyne en dit sal ‘n goeie leerskool vir Jake White wees.
Hier gaan nog ‘n groot ding kom vir later vanjaar, mits die Bulle die Rebels, Warathas, Highlanders en Chiefs oorsee kan klop. Wen die Stormers volgende naweek behoort die SA trots nogsteeds bo-aan die groep te wees; verloor hul sal die Bulle met hul afnaweek punte, vir die volgende paar weke die voortou te kan neem.
Anyone remember the Northen Bulls? Rod Kafer backs Brumbies!
Does anyone remember the Northen Bulls? I just saw the last minutes of a Brumbies vs Northen Bulls classic game which the Brumbies won at Loftus. The Bulls had a white jersey with dark green on the shoulders and sleeves, with matching dark green sock. They had the Bulls horns on the jersey, but. What I can’t recall is how was that team combined. It had players like Bennie Nortje, Paul True, Marius Goosen, Jaco vd Westhauizen, Os du Randt & Jannie de Beer, well the few that I could recognised. Was the Northen Bulls a team from the Bulls, Lions and Cheethas as I cannot recall that Os du Randt and Jannie de Beer ever played for the Bulls? Was it the 2002 disater year?
Rod Kafer and Brendon Cannon backs the Brumbies to beat Bulls!
Politics and rugby politics are not just exclusive to South Africa. Richard Graham, the current Force coach has been signed as new head coach of the Reds next season. Talk about bad timing; not even halfway through the Super15 season and the deal is done. Ewan McKenzie will become the Director of Reds rugby….sound just like a Rassie Erasmus move.
Is the McKenzie move to get him ready to take over from Robbie Deans? Deans is contracted till after the British & Irish Lions tour to Aus in 2013. What will happen to McKenzie if Deans wins the Fournations / Bledisloe and or Lions?
Rugby gurus are in two minds about the Graham situation. Some reckon he should leave the Force now, however, the Force do not have the money to pay him out. How many players will Graham lure to Qld? Will David Poccock follow? Graham is also under the pump because he critised James O’Connor for leaving the Force and questioned his loyalty. Make no mistake I think Graham has made the right decision as he is a Queensland-boy, however, the timing must have a very bad effect on the Force ant the rest of their season.
Phil Kearns reckons the Force will have to get the best available international coach. He reckons Nick Mallet would be the perfect guy for the job as players would consider to move to Perth to play under Mallet. That would be a master move. The Force CEO are searching for an Aussie coach.
PS: Wallaby legend Michael Lynagh, is still critical after his stroke yesterday. MRI will be done to diagnose any blood clots on the brain. Best wishes go to Lynagh. PS2: Weather cleared up nicely in Brisvegas today after 3 days of raining. Prediction 18-27 C with showers!

Does Snake White have enough venom to kill Bulls?
Joke White already mentioned here in Australia that he awaits a hostile reception in the ‘Dutchmen fortress’ on Saturday! Really, Joke, who cares….? Not alot of SAFFAS! Remember that no SA franchise or Currie Cup team wanted you.
Most bloggers and gurus reckon the Bulls will thump the Canberra wild horses. One thing that this year’s SupeRugby has taught us so far, is that anything is possible. Ask the Blues about their outing to Madeliefie-land. So, yes, it is possible. Will it happen? Not likely. The Bulls could go to number 1 in the SA franchise if they beat the Brumbies with a bonus. Even if the Stormers beat the Reds in Brisvegas tomorrow night, they will have to get a bonus to stay on top, if the Bulls win with a bonus happens.
Does the Brumbies have a realistic chance?

Injuries not the only obstacle for Stormers
Injuries are not the only Stormers concern for Friday
evenings clash at Suncorp. The Reds also have more backline injuries and sharp
shooter Mike Harris is making his comeback at inside centre instead of flyhalf.
Juan de Jongh with his side steps would have had the upper hand and Bryan
Habana has the excess speed advantage over Ben Tapuai. However, it is the
shitty weather this week so far as well as the prediction for Friday that will
make it an even field. Hopefully the
weather gurus have it wrong and it will dry up for Friday.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
The wet weather will be a slight advantage to the
Stormers, as their pack should have the slight upper hand. Scrums will become
an even bigger lottery which could influence the result as penalties will
become crucial when scrums collapse.
It might come down to penalty kicks to determine the
outcome, which brings Mike Harris into play. Harris was brilliant before his
injury, so Allister Coetzee must make the sensible decision by ordering Peter
Grant to be the first choice kicker. I’m a big Joe Pieterson fan, however,
Grant has shown some great BMT kicking abilities this season.
It will be the fourth time for me seeing the Stormers
play in Brisneyland. I have enjoyed 3/4 wins and feel the Stormers just are too
composed for the Reds, so 4/5 is a big possibility. Put
your ‘Ball on the guillotine’.

Duane will lead Stormers in Brisvegas!
Not only is he currently the best number 8 and number 7 flank in South African rugby, but, now he is trusted to lead SA’s flagship against the current SupeRugby champions in Brisvegas. With both Stormers leaders Jean de Villiers and Andries Bekker injured, Duane Vermeulen now has the C behind his name.Good luck Duane ‘Yster’ Vermeulen! Stormers
15 Joe Pietersen, 14 Gerhard van den Heever, 13 Bryan Habana, 12 Juan de Jongh, 11 Gio Aplon, 10 Peter Grant, 9 Dewaldt Duvenage, 8 Duane Vermeulen (kaptein), 7 Rynhardt Elstadt, 6 Siya Kolisi, 5 De Kock Steenkamp, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Brok Harris, 2 Tiaan Liebenberg, 1 Steven Kitshoff.Plaasvervangers: 16 Deon Fourie, 17 Frans Malherbe, 18 Nick Koster, 19 Nizaam Carr, 20 Louis Schreuder, 21 Burton Francis, 22 JP du Plessis. Rynardt Elstadt will have to cover for lock; no problem, but, it also indicates that he will have to play the whole game. Great, to get his match fitness up. He should, however, learn to control his aggression within the laws. He is sometimes trying to hard to be the ‘enforcer’, ala Flip vd Merwe for the Bulls, as both of them want to stake claim and be like their rolemodel, SA and World Rugby’s previous Enforcer, Mr Bakkies Botha!
The weather prediction for Brisneyland at this stage is a possibiltyu of showers on Friday. It has been raining in Brisvegas the last few days as well. Wet weather will suit the Stormers non-expansive game plan, although it will put more pressure on Peter Grant and Dewald Duvenhages’ tactical kicking. Suncorp’s surface do drain well so the pitch should still be in a good condition. The Stormers should have the upper hand in the set pieces, especially the scrums.

Heyneke & die Springboks, SpringBULLE of SpringblOUES?
Heyneke Meyer, en ek is ‘n groot ondersteuner van hom, het alklaar baie, wel feitlik almal suid van die Jukskei, baie moerig. Sy hele afrigtingsgroep kom uit Bul geledere. So gaan Meyer dus die Springbokke afrig of is dit die era van die SpringBulle of SpringblOUES as jy kyk hoe Meyer ou ballies ook benader.
Heyneke wil vir Victor Matfield ompraat om sy SuperSport mikrofoon neer te sit, sy stewels af te stof (OK hy sal nuwes kry) en die Bokkaptein te word vir die toetse teen die Pomme in Junie. SARU sal beslis moet hoes om Matfield terug te kry. Indien Matfield nie sy hare wil deur mekaar maak nie, alhoewel hy glo saam met die Bulle oefen, is Fourie ‘die fuhrer’ du Preez, Meyer se ander kaptein opsie.
Meyer is ook in gesprek met Frans Steyn, Guthro Steenkamp, Jacques Fourie, Danie Rossouw en Bakkies Botha.
Roux het ook gesê Saru het in formele gesprekke getree met die Bulls se voorspeler-afrigter, Johann van Graan, die voormalige Springbok-heelagter en die Blou Bulle se agterlyn-afrigter, Ricardo Loubscher, die Bulls se verdedigingsafrigter, John McFarland, en die Bulls se kondisioneringsafrigter, Basil Carzis.
OK, kom ek probeer oopkop dink oor die huidige stand van sake.
Waarom Heyneke dalk reg is:
- As afrigter wil hy mense wat hom jare gehelp het tot sukses ook bevorder. Reg, ek verstaan dit. Om eerlik te wees, het hy meer vertroue in homself as bv Jake White wat hom met vorige Springbokke of SupeRugby afrigters moes omring het.
- Meyer wil begin met ‘n ‘bang’ en wil die Pomme klop dus wenne eers voor hy begin bou. Fair…!?
- Meyer reken deur ervare manne terug te lok gaan hy dit kan vermag omdat hy nie genoeg tyd gaan he teen ‘n meer gevestigde Pomspan wat alreeds die Sesnasies gespeel het nie. Fair…?!
- Victor Matfield sal dan vetsak John Smit se meeste Bok toetse kan oortref!
Waarom Meyer Bok-fans moerig het:
- Hy het gese hy gaan altyd die beste spelers op vorm kies.
- Hy het gese hy gaan altyd eers sy 22 kies en dan sy kaptein.
- Sy aanstelling van net BlouBulle is baie verdag. Vergeet van Rassie Erasmus se insette. Erasmus wil nie sy hande vuilmaak nie en sit nou in ‘n hoogsbetaalde kantoor joppie. Hoeveel inset gaan Erasmus regtig in die spankeuses he? Hy moet ‘n bloudruk vir SA op alle vlakke ontwikkel. Absoluut belaglik!
- Dit klink of dit SpringBulle en nie Springbokke gaan wees. Chilliboy Ralapele, Morne Steyn en Pierre Spies is verseker van hul plekke.
- Was Pierre Spies se aanstelling as Bulkaptein Meyer se strategies skuif om Spies Bokkaptein te maak na hy ondervinding as SupeRugby kaptein opgedoen het? Ek dink so. Duidelik beskou hy nie Schalk Burger as Bokkaptein of selfs as die voorste oopkant flank nie.
- Daar is beter slotte as Matfield en Bakkies Botha (Andries Bekker, Eben Etsebeth en Juandre Kruger. Flip vd Merwe en Rynardt Elstadt is goeie back ups)
- Ek is ‘n groot Gutrhro Steenkamp man maar Beast Mtwarira, Dean Greyling, Coenie Oosthuizen en Steven Kitshoff is almal goed genoeg vir die Pomme.
- Gaan Skouponie Spies bo die briljante Duane Vermeulen en knap Keagan Daniel gekies word?
- Moet Francois Hougaard terugstaan vir du Preez of gaan eersgenoemde as vleuel ingespan word?
Mag ek verkeerd wees maar dit kan dalk die Bokspan wees as Meyer sy sin kry.
15: Zane Kirchner 14: Francois Hougaard 11: Bjorn Basson
13: Wynand Olivier 12: Frans Steyn
10: Morne Steyn 9: Fourie du Preez
7: Danie Rossouw 8: Pierre Spies 6: Deon Stegman
5: Victor Matfield 4: Bakkies Botha
3: Werner Kruger 2: Chilliboy Ralapele 1: Gurhtro Steenkamp
Of dalk verras hy ons met SpringBulle:
15: Patrick Lambie 14: Francois Hougaard 11: Bryan Habana 13: Jacques Fourie 12: Frans Steyn
7: Willem Alberts 8: Pierre Spies 6: Heinrich Brussow
5: Juandre Kruger 4: Andries Bekker
3: Werner Kruger 2: Chilliboy Ralapele 1:Dean Greyling
Hier is ‘n span Meneer Meyer!
14: Gio Aplon 15: Patrick Lambie 11: JP Pietersen
13: Jacques Fourie 12: Jean de Villiers (beseer?)/F Steyn
10: Johan Goosen 9: Francois Hougaard
7: Schalk Burger 8: Duane Vermeuelen 6: Heinrich Brussow
5: Andries Bekker 4: Eben Etsebeth
PS: Heyneke, aangesien die toekoms nie so belangrik is nie, of te wel die bou van Bokspan nou al nie; hier is tog so bietjie raad vir die toekoms vir al met die oog op 2015. Gebruik dit nou al sodat jy nie in ‘n politieke geveg betrokke gaan raak nie. SARU soek vir die ‘holy grail’ 2015 nie net gekleurde maar etniese spelers. Bou nou en volhard (nie noodwendig hul nou al  in te span nie maar nooi hul uit na alle Bokkampe ens) die volgende.
Beast Mtwarira (weet nie of hy as oud-Zim sal tel nie), Lwazi Mvovo, Chilliboy Ralapele en ook Siyz Kolisi. Veral laasgenoemde is nie tans nog nie op die vlak as Schalk Burger of Heinrich Brussow nie, maar toon genoeg talent om in 2015 of op 6 of 7 in die groep op meriete te kan wees. As flanke, Kabamba Floors, Thanda Manana, Pedrie Wanneburg, Deon Stegman, Theo Oosthuizen en Solly Tyibilika die ‘groen en goud’ kon dra; wel dan beslis ook Siya. So het jy vier moontlike etniese spelers op meriete en daar is oorgenoeg ander nie-blankes wat op meriete die groep sal haal. Problem solved…my plesier!
Oor my indrukke oor die Stormers se verloor Saterdag, gaan na:
