Bakkies blow for SA
28 Nov 2009
Bakkies Botha has failed to recover from a back injury and will be replaced by Andries Bekker for South Africa’s clash with Ireland.
As reported by this website on Wednesday, Botha was always doubtful to feature in the Croke Park Test, and it was confirmed on Friday that he will play no part. The Springbok lock picked up a back injury in the Italy Test which was exacerbated in the flight from Udine to Dublin.
Bekker comes off the bench to replace Botha while scrumhalf Francois Hougaard will now join the replacements. Danie Rossouw, who will start this game at No 8, will cover at lock.

@Langenhoven: You didn’t actually chose that stupid name did you?? what a wanker!
28 Nov 2009, 13:40 pm
@Langenhoven: You better copyright that one. It would be appropriate for most people I know, myself included.
28 Nov 2009, 13:40 pm
@Porto: My book is written already… remember… Beyond the Box… But then again I accept that my literary skills are way beyond your intellectual grasp
28 Nov 2009, 13:41 pm
Joost just misses the white line. The one he crossed so many times and helped SA to a RWC.
28 Nov 2009, 13:41 pm
@cane: Not good enough…a bit like Wayne Barne’s apologizing about a forward pass
28 Nov 2009, 13:42 pm
@Porto: Stand up when you abuse Langenhoven. He wrote the national anthem.
28 Nov 2009, 13:43 pm
@Langenhoven: Took you a long time to think of something that you thought was clever. Are you a bit slow?

@stormer in a teacup: @Porto: @cane: @Porto: IN the absence of reference numbers, nothing makes sense.. You guys should sign a petition… Give Keo a Call
28 Nov 2009, 13:45 pm
@stormer in a teacup: Figures, not even his ilk can sing it right…
28 Nov 2009, 13:47 pm
@Porto: WTF.. you think you are clever???.. How fking delusional are you..LMAO

@stormer in a teacup: Definitely wasn’t me who wrote that ****
28 Nov 2009, 13:48 pm
@Langenhoven: You are right. This round and round the rosemary bush is taking all the romance of it.
28 Nov 2009, 13:53 pm
Ok,ok…can we pls get back to the subject…loss of Bakkies is a HUGE blow as shown in the last B&I Lions test…Bekker too ‘lig in die broek’ to play da ‘enforcer’….province scrum looking good ’cause Anton van Zyl compliments Bekker…Danie should have been moved to lock for this one…watch the scrum,Bekker is so tall his *** protrudes and the 8th man is pushing against the back of his knees…hence no go-forward
28 Nov 2009, 13:54 pm
I need to do some shopping… Chat later
28 Nov 2009, 13:54 pm
Great psychological game played by PDV. Sure he has known Bakkies wil not play and the Irish must have dedicated a lot of their mind space to targeting him.
28 Nov 2009, 13:59 pm
@ossewa: Yep…now they spinning like headless chickens about how they gonna get any ball come line-out time…Morne and Fourie just going to kick them into the corners
28 Nov 2009, 14:03 pm

I think we are going to run it today. Just a feeling.
With four centres in our team it would be the right tactics.

28 Nov 2009, 14:34 pm

@carol: You are right. I suspect *** tendencies. Any regular bloke would make up a far more macho excuse.
28 Nov 2009, 14:44 pm
Hey what’s happening with Tiger Woods? He hits the water hazard and the trees and blames it on the driver.
28 Nov 2009, 14:44 pm
@carol: jealousy makes you nasty! Just because WRS doesn’t let you off with his credit card don’t take it out on our well-off friend langenhoven.
28 Nov 2009, 14:45 pm
At times like this I feel like I’m talking to myself. Could have saved the trouble of getting married.

I see Bulgarians are confirming the existence of aliens. Meanwhile aliens are denying the existence of Bulgarians.
28 Nov 2009, 15:12 pm
@stormer in a teacup:
@Transformation: You may have hit the nail on the head!!
Actually WRS has taken his ‘mates’ to Wales v Aus today, perhaps I am a bit cheesed off at missing out!!
28 Nov 2009, 15:21 pm
@stormer in a teacup:
Why are you talking cricket here and leave the Proreas alone!
Typo was so good I decided to use it.
