Nie een van die Spears se spanne speel in die Currie Beker Premier Divisie nie. Almal is in die eerste liga,hoe op aarde wil hulle kompeteer met Bulle, Shark, Stormers en selfs Leeus en Cheethas…wat nog te se van die AUS en NZ spanne. Dis net `n ander vlak van rugby,en die wat daar al gespeel het sal weet. Die Spears wat teen Britse Leeus gespeel het was uitnodiging span…seker maar omdat die REGTE Spears `n groot loesing sou kry.
Ja miskien sal die Regering geld gee om spelers kontrakte aan te bied wat hulle sal lok,maar wat gebeur na die Super 14. Daai tipe spelers wil nie Eerste liga Currie Cup speel teen Valke, Griffons, Grens ens na die Super 14 nie.

They parade the youth academy models as all the do good development they putting into the sport then next they go and import another French or Argentinian cast off, or else half the Cheetah’s or Lions or EP budding potential player base. Meanwhile the real unearthed talent gets left languishing on the grass root slopes of the green hills of rural Transkei or in shanty towns and kraals tending sheep kaalvoet.

I say stuff the fat cat so called professionalist business model franchise clubs, thats all they are, clubs parading as regional franchises. Get real. If its rugby at the root of the ambition and not money, if its truly unearthing youthful talent for the sake of youthful talent thats driving the cause for rugby’s sake and not for the clubs expanding their profit share, then somebody at the core of the exercise will push for the E. Cape development ahead of making these fat cat moghuls any richer than they already are at the expense of the talent not because of it.

Wtf these clubs importing Argentinian or French pivots for if their prime objective is to promote local talents, go spin me another capitalist Bs story, such blatant contradiction couldn’t be further hypocritical if they tried.

Charo, you simply do not want to go the route of statistics on registered rugby players in this Country.

The Southern and Eastern Cape will win hands-down in each and every poll.

S’trues Bob.

I say let them play for places in the super14/15. Let the top 5 finishers in the currie cup play in the following years super14. If it was like that then griquas would be playing next year and not the lions.

to the likes of skoppie, alan shore et al, beating this tired drum about poaching youngsters from other provinces.
get off your high moral horses and rather compare the relative numbers of rugby-playing high school kids.
take a deep breath.
and say thank you to the professional management of the sharks franchise for having created something so successful and high profile out of very little.

#81 John Galt: John, nothing against professionalism. Maybe, also we should leave birthplaces out of the equation and look at where players finished their schooling and started their rugby careers. I was more concentrating on that. However, my point still is that everybody is crying about the fact that EP, Border and SWD must first prove themselves at CC level. How can they if they are every year stripped of all their talent? But, let's leave it at that. I am too stressed out about tomorrow's game.

die k@k vir OP het gekom toe A Coetzee oorgevat het by Nelie Smith (as coach) …

al wat OP gaan help is geld, geld en geld. Cheeky is die enigste hoop, of miskien ‘n Louis Luyt …

Ook al hoop vir Kings om eerlik te wees.

Die jong talent, swart of wit sal nie vir OP/Grens/SWD wil speel as hulle gereeld verloor of in die B afdeling speel nie.

Kry eers ‘n span wat perform in die CC “A” afdeling … maak die Oos Kaap mense weer bewus van OP/Kings …kry supporters, kry die bemarking reg … maak GELD!!

Alan Solomons as dir van rugby en moontlike coach is ‘n stap in die regte rigting, ook DW Barry en paar opkomende sterre.

Kry ‘n paar van die Bulle, WP, Vrystaat se o’21’s en bou ‘n span.

#36 PissAnt: EPWOS is an independant company seperate from the GLRU so it won't be in the GLRU audit report. The GLRU owns shares (30% or something in that order) in EPWOS so there may be some indication of income generated from those shares (if EPWOS made a profit).
