Saracens game called off	November 17, 2011
Breaking News, Other Tournaments
Tweet The Heineken Cup rugby match between Saracens and Biarritz has apparently been cancelled, according to reports. Accoring to Eyewitness News reporter, Jean Smyth, the game – scheduled to be played in Cape Town on 14 January – has been cancelled. “BREAKING NEWS: Saracens v Biarritz in Cape Town has been cancelled,” Smyth posted on Twitter. It is believed the conflict between the Cape Town City Council and the Western Province Rugby has prompted the cancellation of the game. The European Cup pool game was initially due to be played at the Cape Town Stadium. However, the Western Province Rugby Union was unhappy with the decision and earlier this week announced it would attempt to move the game to Newlands. “After a recent meeting by the Western Province Rugby Football Union Executive Committee, the request by Saracens to host the match at Cape Town Stadium was considered. However, the Executive Committee decided that the home of rugby, Newlands, would stage this historic match,” the WPRFU commented earlier in the week. Saracens released the following statement on their website: Now that all discussions between various stakeholders have been concluded, Saracens has decided the Heineken Cup match against Biarritz on Saturday January 14th will be played not in Cape Town, but in London. The innovative English champion club was eager to host the first Heineken Cup match ever played outside Europe, to stage a special, spectacular rugby event and to project brilliant images of Cape Town and European rugby around the world. However, we have no wish to be a catalyst for conflict between the City of Cape Town and the Western Province Rugby Union. Saracens looks forward to playing a competitive match in Cape Town as soon as local circumstances allow. Supporters who have bought tickets in South Africa will be fully refunded by Computicket, and Saracens will engage with UK-based supporters who have already booked air tickets and accommodation, and ensure they are appropriately compensated.

November 17, 2011 at 7:25 pm	As die WP en of Stormers onder die huidige bestuur geen game wen nie, sal dit te veel wees!
November 17, 2011 at 7:48 pm	Can we have a round of applause for WP Rugby Union!
November 17, 2011 at 7:57 pm	Dis nou fokken mooi!!
November 17, 2011 at 8:29 pm	Don’t agree there,Kingpaul,
November 17, 2011 at 8:30 pm	Well done WP.
November 17, 2011 at 8:31 pm	Mokken Foffies!!
November 17, 2011 at 8:36 pm	Ek weet waaragtig nie hoe julle WP ondersteuners dit uithou met so ‘n Bestuur by julle unie nie. Hulle laat Malema soos Einstein lyk.
November 17, 2011 at 8:36 pm	What a great advertisement to the rest of the world on how we run rugby in SA.
November 17, 2011 at 8:39 pm	Reply to Kat @ 8:36 pm: I said it last night – perhaps now ‘fans’, ‘season ticket holders’, ‘suite owners’ (you know – all the people WP Rugby cares so much about when you read their press releases) realise for once how bloody incompetent they are.
November 17, 2011 at 8:39 pm	Ek neem Sarries gladnie kwalik nie … en noudat Titus hulle vroeër die week ‘n JMSM gegee het is daai verhouding daarmee heen. Is Titus op Tik of wat?
November 17, 2011 at 8:41 pm	Reply to Kat @ 8:39 pm: Waarvan praat jy?!?!?!
November 17, 2011 at 8:45 pm	LOL! Volgens die “reëls” ja …
November 17, 2011 at 8:47 pm	Reply to Kat @ 8:45 pm: Ek is actually glad nie die moer in nie – in fact, fokken bly!
November 17, 2011 at 8:50 pm	Wat my ook moerig maak is daar SARU weereens nie ingegryp het nie. Seker maar omdat hulle ook lekker cosy is daarby Nuweland. Manne kuier lekker saam.
November 17, 2011 at 8:54 pm	Feit bly staan:
November 17, 2011 at 8:55 pm	Nou-ja, ten minste weet WP ondersteuners nou waarom die trofeekas al so lank nie iets van formaat bevat nie … net soos die WPRU raadsaal.
November 17, 2011 at 8:57 pm	Boertjie, hulle en CoCT het met hulle probeer praat. Lees De Lille se media verklaring.
November 17, 2011 at 9:05 pm	WPRU het ‘n mandaat gevat en dit in ‘n wandaad omgesit. En glo my, die Stad en die DA gaan dinge nou warm maak. De Lille en Zille is nie katte wat gaan toelaat dat die WPRU hulle rondneuk nie. Die regering is al klaar goed gatvol vir WP oor hulle houding jeens die stadion. As jy so baie op jou eie stoep kak gaan die plaaslike owerheid hul mandaat gebruik om jou huis te sloop.
November 17, 2011 at 9:06 pm	Kyk ook so daarna:
November 17, 2011 at 9:08 pm	Feit is dit lyk of hier groter dinge
November 17, 2011 at 9:22 pm	Aag Kat, hoekom fokof jy nie ook maar nie! Net omdat jy paar randjies wou maak, is almal by WP nou idiote! Wie de f@k dink Griffiths is hy, dat hy WP rugby wil kom rondfok? Hy weet presies wat die reels is (was baie jare intens betrokke by SARU), en wou met scaly dealings ‘n ekstra paar bugs maak TEN KOSTE van WP. As jy wil hol gooi vir die UK, doe zo voort, maar moenie ander blameer wat hulle man staan nie!
its a 15 man game - embrace it!
November 17, 2011 at 9:40 pm	Reply to Bekke @ 9:22 pm: tipies broederbond mentaliteit. dink jy le nog in die trenches maar die oorlog is lankal verby.
November 17, 2011 at 9:44 pm	Reply to Boertjie @ 9:08 pm: boer kan dit dalk wees dat Nuweland eenvoudig netnie meer wereld gehalte is as stadion nie?
November 17, 2011 at 9:47 pm	ek vind dit snaaks dat die sharks nie lyne uitgooi om die toets te behou nie. John Smit Saracens sal baie baie voete trek.

November 17, 2011 at 10:08 pm	Reply to Morné @ 10:02 pm: well it goes without saying. all the players. all the resources. no trophies. but wp fans are like anc supporters. Loyalty trumps common sense – and thus is WP rugby administrators seemingly mandated to be average for the foreseeable future.

November 17, 2011 at 10:13 pm	Reply to Boertjie @ 10:11 pm: Gee hulle moerse nice kaartjies met VIP access – tot en met n week terug het nie een losie eienaar eens geweet van die game nie – dis nie asof hulle hiervoor ge-budget het nie is dit?

November 17, 2011 at 10:16 pm	Reply to Boertjie @ 10:11 pm: meeste wp fans kyk nie eers rugby as wp nie speel nie. Ek twyfel meeste van hulle weet Biarritz is `n rugby club?

November 17, 2011 at 10:47 pm	oh well dis tipies suid afrikaners om hulself in die voet te skiet met kak politieke besluite so kom ons vat die oukie ook maar ‘on the chin’.

Or the best dont give them money. This hurts.
Something is wrong in WP. I have no idea but the rot started at least 10 years ago. You might say that I am fickle and a bad supporter but hey next year when you are here crying about S15’s shit reffing, tri-nations farce and when France gets to win the next RWC, I say you desreve it dumb sheeple.
November 18, 2011 at 6:19 am	Reply to Kevin_rack @ 5:44 am: Or you could attend some Shute games… the quality can be at the same level as the CC (without the Boks)… still has that real ‘love of rugby, community feel’…

OK I wont mention apartheid or broederbond anymore seeing as Dawie obviously has a soft spot for the broeders, but this was ARCHAIC INSOLENT THINKING by WP management. If you want to associate it with the broederbond then its your problem
November 18, 2011 at 10:40 am	Reply to DavidS @ 10:29 am: I put it down to a poor RWC and zero rugby happening… well and it just being the usual WP emotiveness…

HE DID NOT FOLLOW PROTOCOL WITH ORGANIZING THE GAME…..HE DID NOT SPEAK TO WP RUGBY. WHY CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT THIS IS ALL GRIFFITHS FAULT????

November 18, 2011 at 12:20 pm	I am signing off on this now. From where I sit its just good old WP rugby once more losing when it matters – and a cacophony of supporters ready to defend their mediocrity.

November 18, 2011 at 1:55 pm	I don’t have issues boet
November 18, 2011 at 2:08 pm	Hoessit, Tjops.
I’m a little disappointed that the game will not be in SA anymore, although it won’t really make that much difference ’cause I only heard about it this week. Not like I’ve been planning to go there for months now. So from a fan’s perspective not really the end of anything, nevermind the world. :roll: From a broader rugby and professional perspective though the whole shebang leaves a sour taste in the mouth, right from Venter & Griffith seemingly not involving WP from the start to De Lille’s appeal and WP’s continued stubbornness.
Maar ja, ons arme siele aand hierdie kant weet ook maar net helfte van die storie en onthou wat ons en ons eige argumente pas, die maklikste né! Reply
