Johannesburg – Like fellow-Springbok centre Wynand Olivier, whose name had also been linked to Western Province and the Stormers, the Golden Lions’ Jaque Fourie will continue playing his rugby for his present union.
The Golden Lions Rugby Union (GLRU) on Friday confirmed that Fourie has a fixed term contract of employment with the union until October 31 next year.
The GLRU are not releasing him, they say in a statement, and are looking forward to his return from Springbok duty.
Friday’s statement confirms that the GLRU “until Friday have not received any request from Western Province to enter into negotiations with Jaque Fourie.”
In terms of South African Rugby Union’s and the International Rugby Board’s regulations it is expressly prohibited to induce or attempt to induce any contracted player who has a written agreement with a union, unless prior written consent of that union has been obtained.
“Western Province is, therefore, inducing a breach of contract. The GLRU believes that rugby contracts between Unions and players must be honoured and respected. There should be no tolerance when it comes to contractual breaches, whether by other unions or the player,” the statement concluded.
** The Blue Bulls Company (Pty) Ltd (BBC) on Thursday announced Olivier has extended his contract with the BBC for a further two years and will, therefore, play for the Bulls and Blue Bulls until the end of the 2011 season. Olivier’s name had also been linked to Western Province and the Stormers, who are losing their captain and top centre Jean de Villiers to Munster.
Cheetahs speel volgende week die Boland, so nog 5 logpunte daar. Hulle gaan dus eindig met 3 wenne en 15 punte na die eerste ronde.
Griekwas se wenne is ook verby (dink ek) so kan nie sien dat hulle met meer as 24punte gaan eindig nie.
Log na eerste ronde kan so lyk.
Sharks-26
Griekwas-24
WP-24
Bulls-24
Lions-16
Cheetas-15
@carol – Hi Carol, how are you?
No, Puma didn’t contact me, he wants to stay anonymous.
@bdb – Mooi!!
@grootblousmile – Dear Webmonster have replied to your e mail!
OK, nou gaan ek slaap, goeie nag. Lekker slaap.
JimT has registered with us and I have gladly APPROVED his status here…
Jimmy the Prop, if you’re out there… you may comment
OK, that’s me for the night !
Gooooooooi Mieliessssssssss !
@Boerboel – I am fine now I have a glass of Sauv Blanc in one hand and mouse in the other thanks!
How is it in Cape Town, windy and cold or is spring round the corner yet?
How are WP going to do tomorrow, I have them doen to win by 17 – is that a bit generous?
@KingPaul – Ek glo die kwas gaan nog weer vir Boland en Luiperds wen en 10 punte bykry, so die res moet weet Griekwas is dalk nog daar. Dinge raak serious as die Bulle teen Griekwas verloor more.
Ek gaan ook nou eers bietjie saam met die huisdiere kuier.
Praat weer more.
Nag ou Grootte
@carol – Did you get the photos?
@superBul – Nee kyk, die Kwas gaan nog ‘n paar spanne harde bene laat kou, veral in Kimberley. Ek’s bly ons was klaar daar. As Kwas more wen, en Lions wen Sharks, dan raak dinge taamlik interresant.
Ek voorspel Kwas gaan semis haal…
Good Night!!
@grootblousmile – Afrikaanse Broer, njammie, lekkerding,goeie nag, Ons praat weer more. xxx
@carol – Wys jou muis?
WP by 15 I say, say your 17 is not generous (OK, just by 2!).
Beautiful almost Spring day in Cape Town today. We had, unfortunately, a meeting the whole day. Fortunately, I had lovely Shiraz and Chardonay served with lunch (I was the host) so the afternoon went nice and smooth.
You must develop your pallet to enjoy the Chardonay (Sauv too light).
@superBul – They are quality….I particularly like photo 411, would consider changing Percy as my screen saver for those two little cuties.
You are really keeping a good record of their development!
Voor CB het ek verwag (totdat die bokke terugkom) die Cheetahs en WP gaan die gunstelinge wees, so ek was heelwat verbaas om te sien hoe sukkel die Cheetahs in die eerste 4 rondtes. In die tweede rondte gaan hul egter ‘n perd van ‘n ander kleur wees, soos hul nou begin wys.
Vraag is net: het die GW dalk te vroeg ge-‘peak’ ?
As hul more wen, dan is hul werklik groot gunstelinge, want dan beteken dit hul het al die ‘grotes’ gewen tot dusver, en 2 daarvan was nog weg van die huis af.
More om 3-uur gaan ‘n grote wees.
As BB nie die volgende twee dinge reg kry nie, wag nog ‘n pakslae op hulle:
1. vaste vyf, en veral voorry moet sterk staan.
2. voer die vleuels, veral vd Heever
Maar as hul soos laasweek speel, dan is dit moeilikheid.
Belangriker wedstryd vir BB, as vir Kwas.
@Boerboel – Show your mouse has me in hysterics…….The Afirkaans can be a very interesting language..GBS is worried now I can translate so much more!! Courtsey of Rieme.co.za, however lots of words you guys say do not appear on their word list!!
Chardonay can be to ‘oakey’ for me and headache forming….I like light and ‘grassy’, hint of goosberry!
Wish I came to your meetings though!!
Lekker slaap, sien more.
@bdb – Bulls must get into the semis thats all, by then the artillery will be back. Cant see how they will keep us out of the final with, Bakkies, danie, Spies, FdP , Victorious, Morne , Zane and WO to add value to the rest. It is a formidable squad, the secret is to peak like in the S14 final. If we can peak , the final will be ugly for our opponents.
Sien more – View more? Mmmmmm, translation sonetimes misses the point I feel!! 🙂
Good night all.
cant wait for the rhino capture tomorrow.
@superBul – Was my Bulls by 15 generous without the Bull Boks? Eeeekkkkk…….It would be bad if we had another loss!!
@superBul – Just don’t get in the way of a speeding Rhino superBul……Sounds epic, take the camera!
@carol – i am a gambler in this years prediction games , so i went for Bulls with 13, hold thumbs , we need some luck.
@superBul – We cross fingers here so I will do that, don’t to slip any further down on Superbru!
I’m off too…night!
As for tomorrow – Bulls we need you to show your metal…..
I have heard that Fourie is still going to WP but read here he is staying at Lions. They say he is not happy with the Lions set-up and coaching staff. You guys know more though
