‘Splinters’ gets Lions lifeline

Former Bok hooker Hanyani Shimange will join the Lions Super 14 squad on a trial basis.

Shimange’s career has been in free fall since he was axed from the national squad in 2006, after winning nine Test caps off the bench. He is currently WP’s third-choice hooker behind Tiaan Liebenburg and Deon Fourie, and therefore not part of the Stormers’ plans for 2010.

‘Shimange’s [WP] contract expires at the end of next year and he is simply not getting enough game time with us,’ WP senior professional coach Rassie Erasmus told News24. ‘Deon and Tiaan [Liebenberg] are using their opportunities.

“Shimmy and myself both feel he is the kind of player who must play himself into the team. He doesn’t get into top form in just one or two games and must play often to get [match] fit. I simply do not see him getting any game time ahead of Tiaan and Deon.

‘[Lions coach] Dick [Muir] phoned to say he need players and I mentioned Shimmy to him. If he doesn’t make the Lions’ Super 14 squad, he will return to Cape Town and play Vodacom Cup rugby for Western Province.’

Shimange will be accompanied to Jo’burg by lock George Earl, who is behind Adriaan Fondse, De Kock Steenkamp, Andries Bekker, Anton van Zyl and Martin Muller in the WP pecking order.

    lions need some class players or will be a long year for them

    Good for Shimmy. Go boy!

  • 3.wpw: Reply to this comment

    I always liked Shimmie!!

    All he needs is game time to get back to his best. I remember him making Gary Botha his ***** on more than one occasion when WP played the Cows in 2006 Currie Cup.

    All the best Shimmie!!! Hope you succeed at the Lions

    Good luck Shimmy. Hopefully the guy gets a chance to play. The poor guy knows the benches of the country intimately.

  • 5.klippies101: Reply to this comment

    i dont feel is he good enough to be honest

  • 6.rangerman: Reply to this comment

    @wpw: good luck to him but how old is he now?

  • 7.WP_: Reply to this comment

    Thing is He’s getting on a bit. Must be 30 odd now?

  • 8.WP_: Reply to this comment

    Looked it up now. He’ll be 32 in April

  • 9.rangerman: Reply to this comment

    @WP_: he is basically done then.

    sad that he didnt back himself to make the move a lot earlier imo. he may have had the time to build a decent career in europe and earn a hobo more cash.

    but i guess he has made enough considering he was always a bench player.

    Not much left at the Lions,those weak contracts made sure of that.Shimmie will get game time but so what,good for him. SA has bucket loads of hookers with John Smit our best

    Looks like we have to settle for scraps that fall off WP table…..
    What about some new exciting signings? We need an injection of youthful exuberance blended with some experienced heads.

  • 18.Lions4Ever: Reply to this comment

    Willa, I read all your articles on wetalkrugby.com. It is a much better site for us as Lions supporters. People here are all about critisizing, while their wp team has done nothing in the last few years. All wp can do is buy. F’cking rigrudders should stick with soccer.

  • 19.WP_: Reply to this comment

    18 Lions4ever

    You’ve just bought Shimmy. You bought Jonothan Mokuena. You attempted to buy Simon Shaw but he probably didnt want to come.

    So it is not ‘all wp can do is buy’

    Jealously makes you nasty

  • 20.Lions4Ever: Reply to this comment

    @WP_: Can you read???

    We didn’t buy Shimmy. Rassie is lending him to us for S14. If he doesn’t play S14 he will play vodacom cup for your team. I’m not jealous, believe me.

    @Robzim: For fk sake Robbie why would you care? Honestly. Your wife and girls already think you’re weird for blogging on Keo, I would hate to think what they would say if you told them about your “stand” on RT.

    Stop it now, or I will get a shark to bite your leg off in Mossel Bay.

    Its not so farfetched, Im here for 12 yrs now, the only Province fan in the house.

    Do you know what it feels like when your own son says ” You see dad, you should support the Bulls”

    Well Soda if anyone really wanted to get the inside scoop on where lost or found happened to be, everyone would realise exactly how emphatically lost they actually are, but then how can any poor lost deluded soul realise quite what lost or found is unless they’d found themselves, then they can determine the difference between being ‘lost’ or ‘found’.

    WPTID, you should never make the mistake of taking this blog too seriously. There are some threads which are written with the sole purpose of provoking a reaction and some posters who are just beyond repair.

    The past few weeks have seen a rise in wind up merchants.
    their mission is to divide and cause mayhem.
    If good guys start leaving then they win….mission accomplished.
    Best thing to do is to ignore….totally ignore them and they’ll get bored and leave but give them attention and they’ll hang around and cause a big stink in the place.

    I watched Louis Theroux’s documentary on Johannesburg and I have nothing but respect, total respect for Police and Police reservists. An unappreciated task but a vital one nonetheless…….things could be so much worse if it weren’t for them.

  • 271.Richie_7: Reply to this comment

    @PissAnt: I agree PA. There’s no excuse with the amount of players in SA why a S14 coach cannot put together a good team.

    Either their structures are a complete mess and their youngsters are not being developed correctly/given enough gametime or there is some serious inhouse fighting. Also, changing coaches so often cannot be good for the players -with each coach comes new ideas and new gameplans. Unfortunately one coach might purchase players and get them geared for a forward onslaught, and then the next coach pitches up and decides to play an expansive game with a bunch of heavies he inherited.
