Nog op verjaardae, ek weet nie wie kan onthou in 1993 toe John Mitchell kaptein toe van Waikato, Marius Ferns met 'n regter plant op die speaker. Snaaks genoeg Ferns het hom net aangekyk en verder gespeel.

@5 Richie, hy was 'n Bul-speler. En jy is reg hy is die prokureur. Blykbaar net so ruthless op die veld soos in die hof. Het die bynaam van Plastics gehad. Ander hier sal jou seker meer kan vertel....

I think this is good news - just hope that Pierre has had enough rest to fire up again and give us his best again in the Super 15 - just what we need !!

Sien verjaardae, Oeloff de Meyer is nie 'n rugby speler. So ver as my kennis trek was hy die waterkloof 4 se prokureur.

"To have Pierre around for the next three years, a period in which we aim to re-enforce ourselves as a team of excellence, is wonderful news and I am pretty sure our supporters will be very happy about this."As ek na oom Barend se woorde kyk dan hoop ek regtig dit beteken nuwe dinge. Moet asb. nie dink dat ons dit gaan regkry as ons met dieselfde planne en dieselfde uitvoering sit nie. Gee die manne soos Pierre en tonne ander op die Bulle-rol wat hou van oop speel 'n kans om hulleself uit te leef. Groot asseblief tog!!!

Ek gaan maar eerlik wees, en weet sommer bloggers soos Muzi sal nie gelukkig wees met my comments.Spies het laas goeie rugby gespeel in 2009. Nes die comments oor Dean Greyling, " catch a wake up call" kan dieselfde gese word oor Spies.Wel ek hoop ek kan vertrou dat Spies se hart gaan op die veld wees in 2013.Weet iemand wat gebeur met ons afrigting span?
