Two years back they smashed us in Wellington. So I am weary of them.
90 @ Sharks_forever:
Also from Sportsfire.co.za re the Jurie Roux / Stellenbosch nonsense.
“Hawks finally answer …
After being sent from pillar to post by the Hawks in trying to get an update on the alleged Stellenbosch rugby fraud scandal, I got something.
“Kindly be advised the matter is under investigation. No further information can be disclosed at this stage.”
Pretty standard response and SA rugby (SARU) are also still very tight-lipped on the matter.
SARU haven’t said a word about it since a press release back in November last year and I guess with SARU elections just around the corner, we won’t be hearing anything anytime soon.
The Audit and Risk committee of Stellenbosch University concluded, following receipt of the KPMG forensic audit, that there was reasonable suspicion that an offence related to fraud had been committed by former employees.
The University then handed the case over to the SAPS Office for Serious Economic Offences and the Hawks.
SARU CEO, Jurie Roux and SARU agent, Chris de Beer are named in the report.
Both are former chairpersons of the Maties rugby club and De Beer was dismissed by the University back in December of 2012 due to financial irregularities.”

@ GoBokkeAndIreland:
Mate they can share the duties depending on the situation, with the Dolphions setup they have 2 keepers in the team, Van Wyk and Smit, both very good batsmen/Keepers, but Smit is also a leg spinner so I have seen where they share the glove duties. it will also take some strain off both players.

@ Sharks_forever:
Cool – that sounds like a good plan. Now if only CSA/the selectors could sort their s**t out!
I would like to see AB fielding. Read/heard somewhere that his average has increased since taking the gloves in tests, which I find hard to believe.
Prez Zuma has just started his parliamentary address, interesting.
@ nortierd:
In jou kos sal ek definitief Jamal sprooi
@ Sharks_forever:
Nee, genuine! Fern het my goed gesorg daai tyd, hy ken sy resepte, goeie outjie, Fern.
@ GoBokkeAndIreland:
Look AB is a rare talent, and would not surprise me if his average did increase? but remember it is because of form and not because he took the gloves or not, form is form….
Thing is if that player is you main batsmen? why put more pressure on him?
Abbott now 3 wickets for 212 runs after 12 overs

When we did that, we would make sure that the toilet seats were covered in cling wrap before the time. Hell, it’s messy, hose pipes required before you load the guy in the back of a van to take home.
Later it became more serious, on one officer’s course in Paarl, they opened an Assault GBH against the guys, because the victims were new dispensation and the perpetuators old.
