Jouba: Sharks have learnt
21 Oct 2008
Former Bok fullback Andre Joubert believes the experience of last year’s Super 14 defeat will benefit the Sharks in Saturday’s final at Kings Park.
The climax of the 2007 southern hemisphere showpiece will be remembered for Bryan Habana’s injury-time try and a remarkable Bulls comeback. However, the Durban faithful will look back at it as a case of the Sharks not killing off the match and losing it, rather than the Bulls orchestrating a victory.
Frans Steyn failed to convert Albert van den Berg’s try to hand them an eight-point lead, while Steyn also failed to put the ball out when the hooter had sounded. A penalisable offence from the Bulls at ruck-time went unnoticed by referee Steve Walsh, and the Sharks were left to rue what could have been.
Joubert, the World Cup-winning No 15 in 1995 as well as the rock at the back in the Sharks’ last Absa Currie Cup title a year later, believes the Super 14 final will be a painful reminder of why they won’t want to lose again.
“The Sharks have lost a few finals since ’96, but the one that will upset them the most would be last year’s,” Joubert told keo.co.za. “They will realise how one or two mistakes cost you, and how after all your hard work you can be left with nothing.
“The loss would have left a bad taste in the mouth, while the experience of knowing what that felt like won’t be great. They would’ve learnt from that, and won’t want to let it happen again,” said Joubert.
The presence of World Cup-winners from Paris last year will aid both teams, and Joubert feels these players and their leadership will be key. The Sharks can claim eight World Champions in their 22, while the Bulls are just edged as they hold seven players from that Bok squad.
“They may be different matches at different grounds with different crowds, but a final is a final. It is the same thing with the same atmosphere and the same tensions, so having those players will benefit both squads as the World Cup-winners give them balance. It just shows how much the Boks improve the standard,” said Joubert.
The Rolls Royce of fullbacks scored two tries in the Sharks’ 33-15 victory over Transvaal in ’96, and he believes the role of the respective 15s on Saturday will be even more important under the ELVs.
“In finals, the first thing I wanted to do was always to get my forwards onto the front foot. The packs are the most important aspects in finals, and you’ve got to tire the opposition by turning them around with clever kicks. You obviously have to score when the opportunity comes and try and make the defence guess by varying your play,” he said.
In the battle of the fullbacks Joubert believes the experience of Stefan Terblanche could give the Sharks an advantage in the quest for territorial ascendancy. “I think Stefan has been the best fullback in the country this year because he’s a great decision-maker. He is always positive and varies his kicking and running games. Zane Kirchner is a young, talented guy but he hasn’t been in an event like this before.”

Yes, which is why the Sharks should start with Smit.
I must be the only person in SA who believes Bismarck is just a tad overrated.

# XhosaKid:
Congrats Xhosa, your first?
21 Oct 2008, 13:41 pm
yup we need Smits experience
21 Oct 2008, 13:42 pm
#3 PissAnt: Agree with you PA, think they need Smits steadiness and calmness,
21 Oct 2008, 13:42 pm
“A penalisable offence from the Bulls at ruck-time went unnoticed”
Just a pity no-one wants to admint the Sharks stole the ball illegally first. Bulls just stole it back. Nuff said.
21 Oct 2008, 13:46 pm
First of all i can’t believe stefan terblanche is still playing rugby. It just kicked in
21 Oct 2008, 13:50 pm
#7 Darquan: It is called selective memory……has amazed me since the s14 final last year………….
21 Oct 2008, 13:51 pm
I really can’t believe natal just won it 4 times since 1889.
21 Oct 2008, 13:54 pm
#10 Wezwp: I know, it actually seems so unlikely…….
21 Oct 2008, 13:55 pm
#3 PissAnt: I would rather have Smith on the field for the last 30 min , especially if it’s a close game. The Sharks will need his leadership and calmness under pressure towards the end of the game. I’m not convinced that Smith can last a full 81,5 min. Smith was not on the field at the end of the Super14 final last year and if he was the situation might have been a lot different
21 Oct 2008, 14:01 pm
#3 PissAnt: Agree with you , i would also start with smith , they can’t start without him. He’s a bluddy good captain. I said it before if the sharks keep playing in the bulls half they going to win this game. Morne will have to on form , if not it’s for the Sharks to take it.
21 Oct 2008, 14:02 pm
#3 PissAnt: Make that two of us. Smit will be the key to this match.
21 Oct 2008, 14:02 pm
#12 pokkel:
Well he has had a long rest, no reason he cant play for 80 otherwise I will ask serious questions of the Sharks coaching team.
21 Oct 2008, 14:05 pm
Another question – do you guys think that there are still guys ‘down south’ who believe that Schalk Brits is the best 2 in SA…
21 Oct 2008, 14:06 pm
#16 Kerneels:
Did not believe it two years ago, and still don’t.
21 Oct 2008, 14:06 pm
Both Bissy & John Barney Smit are better hookers than Kuun…. fact…
21 Oct 2008, 14:08 pm
#18 grootblousmile: stem saam, but htat is cos he was forced bcos of injury etc to play hooker……
#16 Kerneels: have never really rated him
21 Oct 2008, 14:08 pm
#15 PissAnt: If I recall correctly he had a groin injury which would have prevented him from running for a while.He is looking a bit ‘stocky’ at the moment. OK he did manage 80 min against the Griquas. I would still start him on the bench. Bismarck can soften them up and he can come on any time should things go wrong. Just my opinion, but I really would want him there at the end .
21 Oct 2008, 14:09 pm
#18 grootblousmile:
I am a better hooker than Kuun, and I never played there.
21 Oct 2008, 14:09 pm
#3 PissAnt: Agree PissAnt they need John’s leadership for Saturday.
21 Oct 2008, 14:10 pm
#20 pokkel:
Finals are funny things, I reckon a leader’s value is more important in the opening stanza than the final minutes. Just from personal experience.
21 Oct 2008, 14:11 pm
#18 grootblousmile: lol. Hows the vibe in PTA? Here in Durbs cars are already waving the Sharks flags and people from tomorrow are going to start to wear their Sharks jersey. Then of course on Friday we will have a army load of Bull supporters here in there blue kits. Good vibe here gbs.
21 Oct 2008, 14:14 pm
#24 Puma: We are amongst you already…like in a sci-fi movie. Look for the guy in the blue tie… (dramatic Rex-just-said something-sinister Egoli music in the background)
21 Oct 2008, 14:14 pm
#23 PissAnt: Do you think that if Smith starts that he would captain he Sharks?
21 Oct 2008, 14:16 pm
#24 Puma: I’m not in Pretoria, so don’t know what the vibe is like…… will be in Pretoria tomorrow…. will report back afterwards.
PS! Do you think it’s OK to wear my Bloubul jersey to my brother’s wedding on Saturday….. it’s a genuine Gilbert after all ??
21 Oct 2008, 14:22 pm
An NB aspect of John’s leadership is his “referee-management”
Jonathan Kaplan has quite a no-nonsense approach as a referee. Victor Matfield’s body language and facial expressions will be key. He could find himself on the wrong side of 50-50 calls, just because of that.
John is always friendly yet relentless. Always checking something, reminding the ref of something or just generally having a nice chat with the ref. He almost positions himself as the ref’s mate. It will be interesting to see how Plum handles this.
21 Oct 2008, 14:23 pm
#27 grootblousmile: Clearly your brother does’nt know much about rugby if he gets married on CC final day. Jeez!
21 Oct 2008, 14:25 pm
#29 Die Griek: Absobleedinglutely…..shocking is all I can say, could have got married one week later or one week earlier
21 Oct 2008, 14:26 pm
#27 grootblousmile: Why not!!! lol. You better have it on if you team wins. Anyway let me know the vibe back in your city when you get back there. The vibe here is getting better all the time.
21 Oct 2008, 14:27 pm
#26 pokkel:
I would be surprised if this was not the case, but his mere leadership on the park is enough.
Sentiment might leave Muller captain.
21 Oct 2008, 14:27 pm
#29 Die Griek: I think I bliksemmed him too much and too often when he was young…….
Think they’ll have to play that song of ***** (Robbie Wessels) – Wie reel ‘n troue op ‘n Final… when they walk into the Reception Hall……… hehehe
I’ve already punished him… we had his bachelors on Saturday AND Sunday !
Heeeee haaaaaaaaaa
21 Oct 2008, 14:28 pm

Heeeee haaaaaaaaaa
21 Oct 2008, 14:31 pm
Why the Bulls didn’t sign Smit when he was looking for a contract earlier this year, I would never know. Now the Sharks have two GREAT hookers, while the Bulls have – Kuun!!
#32 PissAnt: Still you have to respect Smit’s captaincy abilities, especially in Finals.
21 Oct 2008, 14:32 pm
#27 grootblousmile: as long as its genuine – may I suggest some blue shoes to match…
21 Oct 2008, 14:33 pm

I got married on the CC final a while back. Thank goodnes I was in curch at the time, because Naas licked Transvaal with his numerous drop goals. Have never liked him since then. At least Brian Mitchell won his first world title that night.
Get the guys at the venue to tape the match.

Weekend after the final is perfect, it won’t clash with any of the end of year tour matches either. Otherwise you just have a bunch of mates who aren’t just pissed but pissed off as well

#35 BloemBull: Just pleased that the Bulls were a bit slow there in signing John. Think he will captain the Sharks again next year. Well hoping as Plum seems to be a faithful type and he may give the captains role to Muller this Saturday but think John really should be captain this Saturday.
21 Oct 2008, 14:44 pm
#44 grootblousmile: lol. Does he support any sport team then? Maybe a cricket supporter? lol. Wear your Bulls shirt on Saturday that should teach him to get married on the cc final day.
21 Oct 2008, 14:45 pm
#44 grootblousmile: It could have been worse, he could have been a WP supporter.
21 Oct 2008, 14:45 pm
The Sharks should start with John if they are to have any use for his leadership abilities. The Bulls will wrap this one up in 60 minutes. 33 – 21 for the Bulls.
21 Oct 2008, 14:47 pm
#44 grootblousmile: Dit kon erger gewees het. Hy kon met ‘n WP ondersteuner getrou het

#48 Loosehead: Great minds think alike. Yours just types a lot faster
21 Oct 2008, 14:49 pm
Finals are won up front.
It will start in the front row.
Posession is king, but getting across the advantage line with your forwards is everything.
The way John Smit drove the ball up across the advantage line in the last 2 games, was very good for a player coming off an injury break, and carrying a little bit of pudding.
That is what you want a test hooker to do in a final.
The Sharks forwards will be too good collectively as an old fashioned, disciplined, driving pack that take the ball up first.
All thanks to an old fashioned Kiwi coach who understands that you have to win the battle up front and get across the advantage line as your first order of business.

A man charges into a bank wearing a balaclava and wielding a handgun.
He shouts “This is a raid – everyone get on the floor!”, and proceeds to empty the cash drawers.
As he runs towards the door with the loot, a brave customer yanks off his balaclava. The robber immediately shoots the customer in the head and shouts “Did anybody else here see my face?”.
The robber notices another customer peering from behind a counter and goes over and shoots him in the head also.
“Did anybody else see my face?” He shouts again, waving his gun around.
There is a silence for a few seconds before a male voice is heard from a distant corner.

From IOL
Johannesburg – SA Rugby is using the Springbok emblem illegally because it failed to renew its licence to use it, Sports Minister Makhenkesi Stofile said on Tuesday.
SABC radio reported that Stofile told parliament’s portfolio committee on sport that his department was the rightful owner of the Springbok and Protea trademarks.
While presenting his department’s annual report to the committee, Stofile said legal action was underway to recover royalties owed by SA Rugby for its use of the Springbok emblem.
How do you like that **** – chuck out the Bok, but first you have to pay up!

#127 K9_BaasPatrolliehond: Should be interesting – SARU holds the rights to the trademarks and therefore have no reason to pay any royalties to the government.
Stofile and his merry band of misfits therefore need to proof that SARU gained the registrations in bad faith, and the ministry are actually the rightful proprietors of the Bok emblem. This will open a whole new set of questions around their bona fide use of the mark etc…
None of this however changes the fact that it is completely and utterly f*%king ridiculous.

Daai handelsmerk registrasie is die Bokke se grootste wapen…… dis laaaankal gedoen….. daasie ‘n manier wat hulle kan slaag nie…. selfs nie al draai die ding in die Apelhof in Blingfontein of die Konstitusionele Hof in Josi nie !

#131 grootblousmile: Ek stem 100% saam, ek hoop egter hulle probeer…

#132 Kerneels: As ek my nie mis verbeel nie was die Handelsmerk destyds geregistreer deur SA Rugby (Pty) Ltd…. waarvan die aandele gehou was deur SARU, welke Privaatmaatskappy nou ontbind staan te word en waarvan SARU nou weer volle beheer geneem het…
Nee man, die dom fokkkerrrrrrssssss verstaan vet mooi nokkol van die handelswêreld en Handelsmerke en daai tipe ding…. maar skree sal hulle skree !

Ja, ek sal ook like as hulle probeer want die ding kan maklik 5 jaar, of meer, swerf tussen die Hooggeregshof, Appel in die Hooggeregshof, Appel na die Appelhof, dan na die Konstitusionele Hof….
Intussen kan die Bokke nog die embleem gebruik en as die Bokke bekend staan…. no worries.
Dan’s daar paar moontlikhede….
1) SARU wên die uitgerekte hofstryd
of
2) Stoffeltjie en sy trawante is reeds dood aan aids
of
3) Stoffeltjie en sy trawante is nie meer naby die Parlement nie
of
4) Die regering van daai tyd het reeds wakker geword m.b.t. ons Nasionale belang en die belangrike rol wat die Bokke speel met betrekking to Unifikasie van ons Nasie
of
5) Die land is anyway poerrrrrrr in sy moerrrrrrrrr !

Ek is verbaas om te sien hoe seker van die Haai ondersteuners van n maklike wen is die naweek. Lees wat se die Sharksfan op die Bulls blog:
Daai 22 tal is beslis nie in dieselfde klas as die Sharks s’n nie… Julle sal beslis bokant julle vermoe moet speel om op n gelyke voet te kan meeding met ons.

vlekkie – Dit is waar ons julle gaan boor my tjom… Die Sharks gaan net al hoe sterker word terwyl julle wiele gaan af val wanneer julle bench moet op kom.

Scarface, jy is nog redelik konserwatief, n shark guru het my vanoggend belowe dat die sharks met meer as 15 gaan wen. Hy het baie geld daarop verwed. Kom ek se jou, as julle nie die jaar wen nie, sal julle nooit nie.

18. vlekkie – Ek stem saam met jou…ek het self geld op die game gesit en dit is soos om sweets van n baba af te vat. GO SHAAAAAAAAARKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ek persoonlik dink dit gaan close wees, kan nie sien hoe een span met 15 punte gaan wen nie.

Ludeke names unchanged team
21 October 2008 (15:40)
The coach of the Vodacom Blue Bulls, Frans Ludeke, has named an unchanged team for Saturday’s ABSA Currie Cup final between the Bulls and the Sharks.
Ludeke said at the press conference that was held at Loftus Versfeld on Tuesday that naming the same team brings calmness to the camp and it is vital for him that the combinations stays the same for such a tense match as a Currie Cup final.
“When players play a few games next to one another they start to anticipate what their teammates are going to do and then you can start to function as a team. We are in a situation where the guys play for each other and they do not just worry about their own game.”
Ludeke is not worried that the Sharks are the heavy favourites for the final and says that the Blue Bulls will focus on their own game.
“We have confidence in ourselves and in our structures, but this is a totally new game and we will work for the right result. There is a sense of urgency in the team and the players are focused and we all know there is going to be a test atmosphere in Durban, but we will only concentrate on what we need to do to win.”
The captain Victor Matfield added that the team is used to routine and therefore they will approach this game more or less the same as any other final.
“A couple of us have played in a number of finals and we will just do what worked for us in the past.
“Playing in a final is a huge honour and you do get nervous from time to time, but with the nerves comes adrenaline and that gives you the necessary extra energy. We know it is not going to be easy but we are going to fight for the full 80 minutes to ensure that the Currie Cup comes back to Pretoria.”
Vodacom Blue Bulls:
Zane Kirchner; John Mametsa, Marius Delport, Wynand Olivier, Bryan Habana; Morné Steyn, Fourie du Preez; Pierre Spies, Wikus van Heerden, Deon Stegmann, Victor Matfield (captain), Danie Rossouw, Rayno Gerber, Derick Kuün, Gurthrö Steenkamp.
Reserves:
Chiliboy Ralepelle, Werner Kruger, Juandré Kruger, Dewald Potgieter, Heini Adams, Burton Francis, Tiger Mangweni.

A friend of mine got married on Currie Cup day.
It was a 3:30 kick-off and the wedding service ws at 4.
Consequently the attendance at the wedding was close to 100% female.
The brides dad was there. The groom was there as was a p1ssed off best man.
We all arrived at the reception at about 6:30. The Sharks had won and we were in great spirits. What fun.
Bride has never forgiven us but she has to be angry with everyone that did not show at the church. And there were lots
Have your say
