    @ grootblousmile:
    Absoluut.

    Enige span kan wen op die dag.

    Presies ‘n maand gelede het die Canes met 30 punte gewen teen die Higlanders. Vandag, met al hul AB en ervaring, kon hulle dit nie doen nie. Dit nogal op hul tuisveld.

    Jong, ek hou maar by die SuperBru Kompetisies waarby SA die meeste betrokke is… want ek moet al die damn goed nog administreer ook!

    As ene van julle so ‘n Bru Pool vir R-T wil skep en administreer, dan moet julle net vra, ek gee so riglyntjie wat die naam behoort te wees (om in te pas by ons “Naming Convention”) en as dit ‘n Super Pool gemaak word, kan mens maklik die Widget inbou op die regterkant ook in die Sidebar.

    “it’s about their skill…” not if they can bench press 150 kg.

    No wonder the NZ teams lead the way.

    SARU CEO Roux sued for R32m

    Cape Town – The University of Stellenbosch is suing South African Rugby Union (SARU) CEO Jurie Roux for R32m – the amount the Cape university believes Roux used to help fund the Maties Rugby Club.

    According to Netwerk24, the university is suing Roux in the Western Cape High Court – and want him to pay back the money.

    According to court documents, Roux and a colleague, Chris de Beer (then the deputy director of student fees), worked together between 2002 and 2010 where they made “unauthorised” transfers from the university’s reserve funds.

    The funds are believed to have been transferred to a variety of cost points related to the Maties Rugby Club, and used for a variety of club activities, including bursaries for players.

    Roux left his job as chairperson of the Stellenbosch Rugby Club in 2010 to become SARU CEO.

    De Beer was fired by the university in 2012.

    Absolutely scandalous…

    I wonder whatever happened to the Criminal Investigation against Roux & De Beer?

    Probly was just swept under some thick carpet, there in Slaapstad!

  • 254

    Does this mean that his statue will also be removed?

    Roux must fall

    Disapproval

  • 255

    @ grootblousmile:
    Don’t blame Slaapstad…blame slap tiger! Wink

    Wonder what Saru’s going o do now. When the alegations emerged, they said the talked to Jurie and that they were satisfied with his explanation therefor there was no need to take any action against him.

    To be fair, it does not look as if he took any money for himself. He just channeled it the wrong way. That’s what it looks like on the surface though.

  • 256

    Seems as if SARU is still firmly behind Roux.

    “SARU remain firmly behind Roux.

    “We are aware of the case and the application that has now be made to the court,” SARU President Oregan Hoskins told rugby365.

    “The SARU executive has interrogated the situation on a number of occasions and we are satisfied with the explanations that Jurie Roux gave to us.

    “He has done an outstanding job in his role as CEO of SARU. We extended his contract in 2014 on that basis.” “

    Birds of a feather…

  • 258

    @ BrumbiesBoy:
    I don’t think that Hoskins is speaking in his personal capacity.

  • 259

    @ Nama:
    Sure he is but sadly I don’t trust either of them.

  • 260

    Outta here for now, back later.

    Bye

    Well it’s 12.01am in NZ right now.
    It’s a new day.

    And the sun will still rise when the morning comes around. 😐

    And I do hope, Those Mothers down in Southland, Otago and North Otago, have very very very bad hangovers come the morning.

    I will need to compose myself before I offer my …………………………….

    The ball was forced down on the boot of a Hurricanes Player, then rolled away uncontrolled.

    It touched the turf too beside the boot, Mainstay Cane…

    It was a very, very good try and a fantastic call by the TMO!

    Was a try all the way!

    After ……………………………….his hand lost contact with the ball…………………………………….even Dixon didn’t think he had scored.

    In real time it looked good.

    But at the end of the day…………………………………………………….It’s all over. And I do think the very slightly best Team on the day won.
