Australia hooker Stephen Moore injured a hamstring in training on Thursday, making him a doubt for Saturday’s Rugby Championship Test against South Africa in Perth.
Sport24
Moore, who will become Australia’s most capped hooker if he plays in his 73rd Test on Saturday, was sent for scans to ascertain the seriousness of his injury.
Tatafu Polota-Nau will move up from the bench if Moore is not fit to play with Saia Faingaa taking his place among the replacements.
Moore won his 72nd cap to match Jeremy Paul’s tally when he was a late injury replacement for Polota-Nau and started the 22-0 loss to New Zealand at Eden Park two weeks ago.
The man with the Gollywog hair, Polota Nau, is a bloody good hooker, so the Wallabies don’t lose any grunt.
Moore is confirmed out
Howzit Lion, Cheetah, Stomer and Gena, any thoughts from you guys on who will win the game between Springboks and Aus, need some inspiration for SuperBru, and how big will the All Blacks winning margin be, or will they win at all???
Boks will thump Aus in my opinion, they just want the blessing from the coach to play attacking rugby, it is burning in them – I really believe that
All Blacks going to hurt Arg badly I reckon
4 @ Gena_ZA:
Thanks Gena that sounds quite positive I was thinking a narrow victory for the Boks, don’t rule out the Graham Henry factor Argentina may just put up more of a fight than most of us think and not loose by a huge margin, but then again if the All Blacks get the upperhand early they are the kind of team that doesn’t relent and tend to play hard till the end no matter how far ahead they are.
All Live Game Article have been scheduled for the 5 rugby games on Saturday 8 September.
First we have the 2 Tests, All Blacks vs Pumas – 09:35 SA Time, Wallabies vs Springboks 12:00 SA Time
Then we have 3 Currie Cup Games, Griquas vs Sharks – 15:00 SA Time, Blue Bulls vs Golden Lions – 17:05 SA Time, Free State Cheetahs vs Western Province – 19:10 SA Time

Looks like its going to be a busy rugby day GBS. Snap on the Bru pick for the Bokke, also initially wanted to pick All Blacks to win by 1 less than you did but as it looks like a wet and windy one for Wellington I decreased the margin a bit. Should be fair in Perth. GO BOKKE!
Pietman die een is vir jou, jy moet die man ken
Laat my net toe om julle van ons “ Boom “ op Gansbaai te vertel. Ons
boom is `n Melkhoutboom (Sideroxylon inerme) geleë te Kerkstraat 27,
Gansbaai en dit beslaan ongeveer een derde van ons erf. ( 225m2)
My Pa het die erf in 1988 gekoop na aanleiding van die volgende
gebeurtenis: Die vorige aand /nag het my Pa van ‘n groot boom
gedroom en nadat hy die volgende dag saam met my ma ‘n ent gaan
stap het, het hulle die boom gewaar. Net daar en dan is daar toe
besluit om hierdie huis aan te koop. Die huisie was maar egter bitter
klein, slegs 100m2, maar dit was die boom wat hom aangetrek het.
Na die aankoop van die huis / boom het ons egter nog net pret onder
die boom gehad. Daar is sedert 1988 elke jaar ‘n Kerspartytjie onder die boom gehou asook ons
Nuwejaarspartytjies. Hierdie boom is so groot dat dit maklik 60 mense kan huisves.
Ek ontmoet my vrou dan 10 jaar later onder dieselfde boom en nadat ongeveer nog 6 jaar verloop, trou ons. Die
boom is jaarliks die bymekaarkomplek van vriende en familie. Jaarliks word daar ter ere van die boom ‘n CD
vrygestel en sal dit die dertiende keer wees wat dit gebeur.
Die boom is nie net vir ons spesiaal nie maar stories in Gansbaai doen die rondte dat die Vissermanne ook in die
verlede hulle jaareindfunksies daar gehou het. Daar word ook vertel van menigte ander funksies wat onder hierdie
boom gehou is.
Die boom is vir ons ‘n gerieflike en gemaklike kuierplek en dit huisves onsettend baie verskillende voëlspesies en
party dae is dit sommer net lekker om onder die boom te sit en luister hoe die voëls in die takke baljaar.
Die Gansbaai-boom is nie net onder die plaaslike gemeenskap bekend nie. Talle besoekers van Nederland,
Frankryk en Kanada het al besoek by die boom afgelê en deel ons sentiment oor die plesier wat dit aan ons
verskaf.
Ek hoop en vertrou dat hierdie skrywe julle sal kan laat verstaan die groot waardering wat ons vir hierdie boom
het en dat ons graag sal wil hê dat dit as ‘n spesiale boom registreer word nie net vanweë sy grootte nie maar ook
omdat dit vir ons so spesiaal is.
Vriendelike Boomgroete
Pieter Swart
