It is Round 5 of Super Rugby 2014 this weekend! We have 7 games in Round 5, with 2 games on Friday and 5 games on Saturday.
119 @ Hondo:
The Sharks are playing the Reds, not the Blues.
The Lions are playing the Blues.
120 @ IAAS:
Yeah… it will be postponed for some months before it resumes, after this first spell.
@ Hondo:
Now you’re an Aplon fan.
And.
“The Sharks unearthed another Black Diamond.”
You’ve changed.
What happened?
@ grootblousmile:
Yeah, the wheels of justice/law turn very slowly.
124 @ IAAS:
As long as they keep turning and we don’t fall into a State of “Jungle Justice” in SA eventually, it’s OK.
Every part of the Case needs to be presented and tested properly.
My wife, Handbriekie, does not understand how courts and burden of proof works and she is one of those who think this trial and Barrie Roux’s questions is a crock of shit. The average lay-person thinks this is a circus.
@ grootblousmile:
Hello, 125
Too much time wasted.
get it over.
Even in the time of Death penalty , some might have been hung wrongly , but that in itself kept many more people away from crime.
Now is a joke.
If you have a good lawyer you can get away with anything.
If you cant afford a lawyer you are provided one and your sentence is low. Getting 20 years might end in 4 years, no ways you need to fear
@ grootblousmile:
I was never ever a fan of CSI Miami and that kak.
This is now reality TV in its purest form. I do enjoy good debates. And I hate reality shows as a rule.
Both sides have their strategies. Let’s see how it all unfolds. The thing is that you cannot look at one day in isolation. But you know that.
126 @ superBul:
Our Courts have always applied the same principles in giving evidence and in the methods of cross-examination…. even in the days where the Death penalty applied.
I once went and did a legal visit / took documents to a Death Row prisoner in Pretoria Maximum Prison… at about 16:00 on the afternoon before he was hung the next morning at 05:00…
I was doing my Articles at the time, and the documents were for him to sign an affidavit for a Supreme Court (now High Court) Application that night to have his execution stayed (postponed). Our firm got involved in the matter after the oke had already been sentenced to death and all other avenues had been exhausted.
The difference in this trial is the media exposure it gets, which was not possible in the past due to the nature of what media elements and communication methods was available at the time.
Let me put it this way, by example…. Mandela’s Rivonia Trial also took long and had it’s circus elements…
It is NEVER and should NEVER be an element of our Jurisprudence that innocent people fall into the cracks, just to have speedy court cases… that is just FARKING WRONG!!!
Why not just better the systems to investigate and prosecute properly in stead of bringing some Jungle Justice into play?
127 @ IAAS:
Yeah, those programs purport to take place in some “Ideal World”, which does not exist.
I like Sport and Discovery and History Channels, I hate Soapies and the Reality Freak Shows and farking Teen Movies (eishhhh)!
@ grootblousmile:
Speaking of justice. I see you meted out a bit to varing. Don’t say you weren’t warned. He’s actually a pussycat if you meet him. Amazing how some guys change if you put a keyboard in front of them.
Join the SA Rugby Legends at their annual Invitational Golf Day.
Play a round of golf and enjoy the company of some of SA’s biggest Rugby Legends.
See below details for this not to be missed event!

I post all these snippets from Mails i received. Forgive me it it is not really relevant.
Varsity Cup the final count down
Rugby that Rocks will have you on your feet in the last round with 6 of the teams still able to make the semi finals and some incredible permutations unfolding. FNB Shimlas for instance can go best possible 3rd and worst possible 7th – a relegation match. The high flying Ikeys could find themselves 1st or 5th!
Fantasy Rugby Scout has posted a new item, ‘Super Rugby Preview – Lions vs
Blues’
Lions vs Blues: Saturday 15th March
No team would have welcomed the Lions back to Super Rugby more than the Blues
who’ve been making mince-meat of the Johannesburg side since Super Rugby began.
The men from Auckland have smashed the Lions in the last 6 consecutive matches
by an average of score of 42-14! Will it happen again this weekend? More than
likely yes…
The Blues have unleashed Benji Marshall at last:
130 @ IAAS:
I know Varing personally, have for years… have had a few toots with the oke too on more than 1 occasion.
He used to phone me on the Cell, just to chat, every so often.
The things is, whether I know the oke or not, the same measure should apply for everybody…. and he was way out of line. You should have seen the comment of his I had to delete.
He is not banned, I warned him after I deleted a comment of his… and he chose to take his lemoene and fokkof… so I wished him a Lekker Fokkof… hehehe
Made your picks? I went for the Home team but after reading this i wonder.
Highlanders vs Force: Saturday 15th March
There’s not many teams the Force can call bunnies but the Highlanders is one of
them. The men from Perth have won the last 5 consecutive matches between the
sides which is incredible when you consider that this is the Force we’re talking
about here! But all things are always equal when it comes to the hallowed turf
of the rugby ground and no result is certain – just ask the Melbourne Rebels. We
don’t believe it ourselves but could a match involving the Force actually be
something to look forward to this weekend? It might just well be….
The Highlanders will be looking to stamp out the Force this weekend:
I suppose I better quickly do tomorrow’s Live Game Articles… and get my Bru Picks in…
@ grootblousmile:
134
that was so out of line , everybody was happy and calm and he just let fly with the most insults i have seen for years. We never allowed this Here before. Whoow what was he on. Must be strong stuff.
Fantasy Rugby Scout has posted a new item, ‘Super Rugby Preview – Hurricanes vs
Cheetahs'( funny guy this, his way with words???)
Hurricanes vs Cheetahs: Saturday 15th March
If your partner hates rugby, this is the game to change their mind. When the
Cheetahs and Canes meet it’s a try-scoring, missed-tackling, block-busting
extravaganza! The cast for this weekend stars Julian Savea, Conrad Smith, Corey
Jane, Willie le Roux and Raymond Rhule. The last 3 scorelines were 39-34, 38-47
and 50-47 to… Rugby. Put on your Welly boots boys, let’s have ourselves a
rowdy! (Disclaimer: This may actually not be the match to change your partners’
mind given that it kicks off at 5:35am on a Saturday morning)
137 @ superBul:
It was so unprovoked… as if he wanted to test the tollerance of this site… or as if he wanted to make deliberate kak…
@ grootblousmile:
Some guys are into discipline. Fern took it – but is now licking his wounds. I think he forgot which site he was on. Towards the end, anything went on the other site. There was no policing, well very little.
He will come crawling back. And I will end up having a beer with him. Someday.
140 @ IAAS:
He is welcome to come back, and fall in with the way we do things here… I have no problem or grudge to bear.
I even went to see if Varing was at Atlas’ Hospitality Box after the Bulls / Blues game last weekend… the Losie was closed though by the time I got there after the Press Conferences.
Fern just likes to stir, he must really just use the smiley faces more often, it’s difficult to believe it’s the same person when meeting up in real life compared to the online Fern.
Really enjoy his company, but have learnt to take his posts with a salt mine
OK, tomorrow’s 2 Super Rugby games are scheduled… need to do my Bru Picks now… eish
I’ll never forget how he charged old Bakkies up, Bakkies will still probably try to murder him if they ever meet face to face.
I think Fern caused Bakkies to go on more head clearing walkabout a than all the Kiwi bloggers combined
142 @ nortierd:
I think sometimes his “Tor op ‘n kurkprop” inside his head, gets a bit bevok and moers off the cork… he has a bit of a chemical imbalance, I think!
OK, my Super Rugby Bru picks are in… think it’s time for me to go hurt a bed.
Goeie nag, slaap sag!
@ nortierd:
Fern is a ‘baby face assassin’!!! Ek lief hom soos n broer, goeie ou.

Stem saam Pietman. Hy is n moerse nice persoon, ek geniet sy geselskap baie.
Net een minor foutjie met hom, hy support die Sharks
PSDT is a huge loss for us. If he had a scope will be out for next weeks game as well. Do hope he is back in a few wekks. Think Jake will bring in Oosthuizen. His bulk as well will help our scrum later when he comes on. I wonder what Skyes is doing right now? Wonder if we could get him on loan from Kings? He knows the Sharks well. We do also have Peet Marais and the player we got from Kwas just not sure what has happeneded to him. So we do have cover just that PSDT is such a class player.
@ Puma:
No worries bru, Lewies will come good tomorrow, tough as Namibian biltong, that boy.
Hulle Suidwesters is rowwe manne!
