The Toyota Cheetahs left on their overseas leg of this year’s Super Rugby season.
Naka Drotske has made a number of changes and today announced his side to face the Brumbies.
Hopefully this will ignite, what has been a lack lustre Cheetahs team, that will face up against the Brumbies at the Canberra Stadium in Canberra, on Saturday 10 March at 06:35 SA Time.
Team:
1. Coenie “Shrek” Oosthuizen
2. Adriaan Strauss (c)
3. WP Nel
4. George Earle
5. Izak van der Westhuizen
6. Heinrich Brussow
7. Phillip van der Walt
8. Ashley Johnson
9. Tewis de Bruyn
10. Johan Goosen
11. Willie le Roux
12. Phillip Snyman
13. Robert Ebersohn
14. Cameron Jacobs
15. Hennie Daniller
Replacements:
16. Trevor Nyakane
17. Hercu Liebenberg
18. Davon Raubenheimer
19. Justin Downey
20. Piet van Zyl
21. Sias Ebersohn
22. Rayno Benjamin
As expected Coenie returns, after his neck operation. I hope that this will signal the return of a more physical rucking approach from the Cheetahs. In other changes George Earl replaces Andries Ferreira, Raubenheimer is demoted to the bench, to make way for the bustling Johnson. Amongst the backs, Cameron Jacobs gets a start in the place of Rocco Jansen. With Waltie Vermeulen not available due to study commitments, and Lappies Labuschagne still recovering from a shoulder injury, the Cheetahs have opted for Raubenheimer on the bench, as lock cover. I am unsure, if Ferreira is injured, or is out of favour.
The Cheetahs have not shown any of their usual physical, or expansive approach thus far in the Super 15, but hopefully they will take this opportunity against a revamped Brumbies team. the Cheetahs will do well to take cognisance of the Brumbies win in their 1st match, and not be complacent!

Jeeeez Cheetah4Never… daai blerrie onderseese kabel wat Afrika met die res van die wêreld op die Internet link was weer tot netnou vol stront (hy is mos gebreek en wanneer Europa en / of Amerika wakkerskrik en hulle beginne te woel op die Internet, kak ons darem maar verskriklik met download spoed hier in SA.
Ek moes vandag so 1.5 Gb se goed download…. maggies maar ek wou op tye in my broek bollie!
Weet jy enigiets van die goed af, wanneer gaan daai links weer reg funksioneer, sonder dat ons goed alles bottleneck hier in Afrika?

Jip, ek is net so opgewonde om te sien hoe Heyneke gaan kies en keur. My insiens het hy baie meer talent tot sy beskiking as wat arme Snor gehad het. Snor het baie senior spelers gehad, maar die talent was yl gesaai.
Stutte: Greyling, Coenie, Kitshoff, Beast, Jannie, Werner Kruger, Malherbe, Cilliers
Slotte: Flip, Etzebeth, Bekker, Kruger, Steenkamp, en ek was nogal heel impressed met Marais van die Sharks
Lossies: Brussow, Stegmann, Kolisi, Carr, Stander, Vermeulen, Juan (hopelik), Burger, Koster, Johnson, Strauss, Minnie, Spies
SH:Hougie, Duvenhage, Vermaak, van Zyl, Pretorius
FH: Morne, Goosen, Sias, Elton, Lambie
Senters: Hollenbach, Venter, Strauss, de Villiers, de Jongh, Sadie, Olivier, Ebersohn,
Vleuels: Engelbrecht, Basson, Poolman, Aplon, Mapoe, Sithole, JP Pietersen, Mapoe, Habana, Mjekevu, Mvovo
FB: Taute, Kirchner, Ludik, Viljoen, Visser, Pieterson,
Man kan nogl ‘n vars spannetjie aanmekaar timmer. Dan is daar jong laaities in die Varsity beker wat my oog vang, Helberg, en die senters van die Bulle, die ex Shimla Riaan Britz, ‘n paar bere in die voorries.
Ai dis lekker om a Bok ondersteuner te wees, as die regte coach in plek is.
I see the SAex Submarine Cable project, of 9 000 km which will connect SA to the Americas with a bandwidth of 12 800 gigabits / sec is due for completion in the Second Quarter of 2013.
I also see that the ACE Submarine Cable project is due for completion around Quarter 2 or 3 of 2012, this one links SA to Europe and is 14 000 km long. The bandwidth on this one will be 5 210 gigabits / sec.
The WACS Submarine Cable project of 14 000 km and with a throughput of 5 120 gigabits / sec was supposed to be completed in the Third Quarter of 2011 and is Telkom, Vodacom, MTN, Neotel & Infraco main carrier.
Won’t it be super once we here in the South of Africa have proper communications and proper bandwidth and proper Internet speeds!
Eish! And I omit Elstadt, and Marcel Coetzee!! OMW!
Haibo!! Bandwidth of 20 Mb+ I like very much lotsa
35 @ Cheetah4eva:
Hopelik sien ons 50 Meg Internet lyne hier in SA binne 10 jaar… sal dit nie ‘n fantastiese verbetering wees van die 4 Meg lyne wat mens nou maksimum kan kry nie… alhoewel sommiges roem hulle daarop dat hulle 10 Meg lyne kan laat werk in SA…. maar flokken waar?
Ek sou nou my eie teelbal kon vastrap as ek ‘n 10 Meg lyn kon kry!
@ grootblousmile:
Ons is lekker ge-spoil met bradband in die UK. Ek het n 40Mb konneksie met BT met geen download limiet. Sommige ISP soos Virgin bied nou 120Mb aan, maar jy kan dit net in seker dele in die land kry. Met meer en meer services soos Netflix en Lovefilm wat jou toelaat om movies online te kyk, het die kompetitie om die beste spoed/diens nou volstoom afgeskop. Die olympiese spele en al die verbetering wat hulle aanbring, help ook. Die hele stad gaan blykbaar free WiFi he gedurende die games.
37 @ bos_otter:
Flok…. weet jy wat kan ek met ‘n 120 Meg lyn doen… oi vei!
Dis 30 keer beter as wat ek nou het PLUS daar’s nie kak met Submarine kabelkakkas nie!
Goeie donner, ek het amper ‘n horing gekry… hehehehehe
Ek het gesien watse rip-off broadband in SA is die laaste keer toe ek daar was. Die manier hoe hulle dit bemark en verkoop maak ook nie altyd goed sin nie. Dan kom hulle nog met k@k soos plaaslike data ect….niks van daai nonsens hier nie, dankie tog daarvoor.Contention ratios op die lyne is laag en jy kan jou service online gaan tweak om jou ping te verlaag vir online-gaming of te optimse vir stability.Dit alles vir R250 p/m in vergelyking in wat julle arme ouens in SA betaal. Kry julle regtig jammer man.

Jaaaaaa, swaer!

Hoe gaan dit met jou Hoedspruit planne vir die Lions kaartjies vir die game tussen die Lions en Stormpoppies op 24 Maart?
Sorry ek het nou die ander aand gesê dis vir 18 Maart, wat nie so was nie!
@ grootblousmile:
Manne is baie opgewonde ek sal more alles vasmaak en met jou praat
Hello all online just a quick reminder : Six nations is still on
Scotland team to play Ireland was anounced yesterday; changes from last game see Nic da Luca starting at centre and Sean Lamont shifting to wing in place of injured brother Rory. On the bench Ruaridh Jackson is back in place of Duncan Weir, bit tough on Weir who has not had much chance and not done anything wrong, but I guess Jackson is ahead of him in the pecking order. Also with da Luca off the bench and starting Max Evans is back on bench after injury, wish Max all the best and hope he can keep his mind off his off field hassles if he comes on to play. With the game not being on Sunday but Saturday Euen Murray is back on bench in place of Ed Kalman.
On Ireland side a big blow for them I think is captain O’Connell out injured lets hope his replacement Donnacha Ryan is not nearly as good as O’Connell
44 @ Bullscot:
Gooooooooooo Wales!
47@ grootblousmile:
Oh dear you’ve gone over to the dark side too
48 @ Bullscot:
Of the UK Home Unions, I’ve always preferred to support Wales… due to the fact that Rugby is their National Sport as well.
PLUS I also like the Welsh singing! Some fine voices they have!
48@ grootblousmile:
Ahh ok maybe we’ll let you off on that then, but think you must join me one day for a big game at Murrayfield and hope we can help you change your mind
50 @ Bullscot:
Would like to do that… experience Murrayfield.
Changing my mind?
Not many can do that…..
52@ grootblousmile:
Well there’s no harm in trying… maybe you can start saving and follow the Boks on their UK tour later this year, they are playing Scotland and I plan to be there. Oh well must dash now, cheers vir eers
