Rugby in general.

Springbok team for tomorrow is a joke!!!!! Zane Kirchner doesn't even get picked in original squad now he starts at CENTRE, wtf?! Owell looks like SA want to lose, Steyn or Kanko could easily full that spot :/ mmmmmmmm would be perfect if we bought Strauss along.

Definately not their best season, but let’s not forget that these awards are for 2010. 2010. Not 30 Oct 2010 7PM. Afair the sharks pretty much got their arses handed to them in the super 14. So both WP and the BB did infact have the better overall season.



Well he coached a real ****ty WP side from nowhere to both the Currie cup and s14 finals. Again, 2010… not 30 Oct 2010. So I won’t say it’s a bad choice.
I would agree with Lambie. The oke was a moster in the last few months. Can’t quite understand why he’s not junior of the year.



Woah...just woah.

It seems some people forget that its awards for the year and not a 1 or 2 game award. Personally I am really happy with all the awards except for the young player. Lambie was head and shoulders above the rest and he deserved it.

I don't think he is worried about it too much. He is still very young and has already accomplished what some players take years to do or what some players never get to do & that is life a CC at such a young age (at all actually) and be called up to the Bok squad. I think he is content with his accomplishments so far, he has a bright future too.

Edit: Well said phonejunky, I don't think anyone could have put it better. :)

Which Steyn are you refering to, because Metro doesn't want to release Francois. I think Strauss should have come when Adi came up. I am not too worried about Lambie at centre because he has played the position before. We will have to wait and see if Zane man's up, but they are going to be tested by probably the best centre pairing in world rugby.

I am glad to see other people agree with me, maybe I am not as biased as I think...

That comment wasn't biased at all. It makes complete sense and I am not a WP supporter either.

AC has turned that squad around which I though was pretty obvious. Province are only going to go from strength to strength. They have some good momentum carrying them into the S15.
 
Lol, all the Bulls and WeePee saying they would have won the CC if not for the 3N's :rolleyes: No, not biased AT ALL :rolleyes:
 
"Sharks must go to new stadium" - Hoskins

November 05, 2010 Edition 1
Kamini Padayachee and Gugu Mbonambi
DURBAN: South African Rugby Union president Oregan Hoskins says the Sharks will have to move over to the Moses Mabhida Stadium, but he has stressed that it will have to be a financially sound deal for them.
The city and the Sharks have been in discussions over the team's possible move to the Moses Mabhida Stadium for several years, but no agreement has been reached.
The Sharks have said previously that the move would not be financially viable and that Moses Mabhida does not have enough suites. Moses Mabhida has 134 suites while the Absa Stadium has 350.
During a candid talk at the Pietermaritzburg Chamber of Business yesterday, Hoskins said he believed that the Sharks would have to move to Moses Mabhida, but it would have to be in the team's interest.
"I think they (Sharks) got to move. I know what the numbers are in terms of managing the rugby stadium, and it is costly. However, Dr Sutcliffe (municipal manager Michael Sutcliffe) must not think that the Sharks are going to move to the new stadium on his terms. It must be a win-win situation for both sides; it must not place them (Sharks) in a worse situation financially."
Commenting on the lack of an adequate number of suites at Moses Mabhida, Hoskins said: "They (Sharks) have to consider their season ticket holders and their suite holders and what they would be happy with. But I do think that more suites could be made at Moses Mabhida to accommodate the Sharks. Those large suites could be partitioned into smaller suites."
He said it would be difficult for the Sharks to maintain the Absa Stadium.
"I cannot see how they are going to continue maintaining the rugby stadium. Structural engineers will tell you that in a few years the stadium will start to deteriorate and will have to be repaired. Some of the concrete structures at the top of the stadium have already started to deteriorate. By now there should be an agreement between the Sharks and the city."
Hoskins added that the issues over the new and old stadiums had been handled badly before the World Cup this year.
"The new stadiums are really nice. It is so sad that we handled it so wrong. I do not know why these issues (about the rugby stadiums) were not discussed before the first building block was laid for the Moses Mabhida Stadium."
Sutcliffe would not comment on the matter.
"While we are in the process of discussing the issue with the Sharks we have agreed that we will not engage on the matters through the media," he said.
Sharks Rugby CEO Brian van Zyl could not be reached for comment yesterday.

I copied the text from Sky Scraper City, I'll try to find the real source.

No, the WeePee person (me) said that the Bulls would probably have won if they fielded their strongest team troughout the competition. They would most probably have ended first on the log and then we all had to play them on Loftus where it is very difficult to beat them. I never said WP would have won if we had all our players...

Personally I think that Moses Madiba stadium is nothing short of stunning. I would love to see the Sharks based there!!!

I still think that the SA vs Aus test next year may be moved there. SARU strangly stated that the test will be in Durban, pending discussions with the union. All other tests were announced with the stadiums too. Watch this space.

I'm all for the Sharks moving, as long as football doesn't get shafted. Also, Kings Park wll still be needed if Durban wants the Olympics.
 
Well the biggest problem with Mosas Mabida is that you are soo far away from the action. Believe me I went and watched the Australia/Germany Game during the WC and I sat in reletivly the same spot as I would with my season tickets at Kings Park but we were miles from the pitch. Although one must say the way it is designed it is very easy to watch the entire match without having to crane your neck. But thats soccor which isnt really as intense as Rugby and I feel with a big space for an athletics track it really makes it feel like your not part if it all.
 
guys, where can i find a list of players from the Australian rugby team from about the 1980's onwards. I have gone to the ARU website but there is nothing on it?
