I pissed myself laughing at that comment ZOMG!!!

Edit: That being said, you can see the mood in that tweet from him. Seems like there has been no motivation on tour. Maybe the reason they lacked so much on the field?

Bawahaha

Predictions...

Highlanders by 11
Stormers by 5

Going for the away teams.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Schalk doubtful for the Stormers. Will undergo a late fitness test on a troublesome groin apparently. Not good news...

The South African revolution sweeping Montpellier continues with news that experienced Springbok No 8 Pierre Spies will join the Top 14 club in February.

The 30-year-old Spies, capped 53 times by the Springboks, becomes the ninth player from South Africa to have joined the southern French team, coached by Jake White, who led the rainbow nation to Rugby World Cup success in 2007.

Released by the Bulls, Spies will first travel to play in Japan before joining Montpellier.

"The Bulls told me that they weren't going to keep me," Spies told Midi Olympique newspaper.

"That's when Jake White called me. Having come across him with the Springboks, I know he's world rugby's best leader. I said yes immediately."

White arrived at Montpellier in December, but the club missed out on the playoffs for the first time in five seasons.

The coach has since gone on a massive recruitment drive, most recently snapping up South African brothers Jannie and Bismark du Plessis, two stalwarts of the Springbok pack.

This will be very very very worrying

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Oh my word. What a start.

Bad call by the TMO, imo.

 

[APoc184]

Yeah.

I believe benefit of the doubt should always go to the attacking team. There was no clear evidence that he stepped out.

 

[APoc184]

Both teams fired up. Plenty of handbags coming out early.

Highlanders 8 vs Chiefs 9 (Half-Time)

Intense game.

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Very good game so far. Can't help but feel the refs have screwed the Highlanders over a bit, though. Blowing them up for things the Chiefs get away with.

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Wow, Smith and Naholo are lethal.

 

[dunkyd]

...how can WP win by default ?

 

[Vrotappel]

Just love the intensity in this game.

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Just love the intensity in this game.

Same! Top class stuff.

 

[APoc184]

Well done Highlanders.

 

[Badprop_za]

Great game to watch.

Just hope the game this afternoon is not a snore fest.

 

[Fulcrum29]

Nee oh donder. Stormers need to wake up.

 

[APoc184]

Brumbies dominating the breakdown.

And Stormers kicking is very poor.

 

[APoc184]

Carr crash...

Ag ***... Skinstad saying it was dirty play, Brumbies player kneed Carr.
