Sanzar to punish PdV
29 Jul 2010
Sanzar has issued a notice of alleged misconduct against Peter de Villiers following comments made on Fox Sports ‘Rugby Club’ programme on 21 July.
According to a statement, Sanzar wrote to Saru on 22 July in relation to the comments. Having discussed the matter with De Villiers on his return to South Africa, Saru has now provided a response.
Sanzar chief executive Steve Tew said: ‘Having considered the response from South Africa we have determined that Peter de Villiers’ comments may constitute a breach of the Sanzar code of conduct and warrant further consideration by a Sanzar judicial officer.’
A Sanzar appointed judicial officer will conduct a hearing in the next week with details to be advised.

@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-193:
Last thing the Boks’ potentially rivals in 2011 want to see is PdV sacked, rest assured. The prospect of a Boks team led by chiliboy, with the Beast, Januarie, De Jongh, Jacobs, Aplon and Kirchner is a wet dream for the ABs, the Wallabies, the Frogs and the Poms of course

@Hondo(Hondo)-185: how off-the-ball was schalk’s alleged (BP) gouge? He got tackled & lost the ball and turned around and made contact with the player’s face, at least that’s how i remember the incident!

Aish, chuck in Superman Spies and Meisieking and you have a winner!
30 Jul 2010, 05:24 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-203:
I have it recorded, the ball was gone already while Schalk started his deadly entangle.
30 Jul 2010, 05:26 am
@poppa69(poppa69)-200: so you’re fighting the cause, that’s it. You see yourself as a freedom fighter in this blog. I asked you, have you ever heard me refer to anyone as a sheepshagger? In your time here can you honestly say that i ever displayed xenophobic tendencies towards you or any kiwi blogger?
You can’t bunch me with cretins dude, in the same way i can’t say Nils, Chch, Cane are whingers but i can say blatantly say it about you because i have witnessed it!
Aluta continua!

@Hondo(Hondo)-207:
Does not matter how it happened, the first thing a coach should say is that it does not belong in rugby and if he is articulate he can move on to softening the blow to his player like referring to his squeeky clean records to da….oh, hang on, never mind!!!! Move on, nothing to see here, move move!!!

@Hurricane(Hurricane)-171: He reminds me of Eric Cantona, who also did not speak English as a first language and though the sun shone out of his…

@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-206:
Did you have the tackles and ball carries counts of both last Sat? it’s impressive.
Spies is a predictable ball carrier, always to his right, but he isn’t the reason for the defeats, neither WO.

@kesbok(kesbok)-173:
Well that nothing happens to be giving SARU and the govt the middle finger and selecting a team based solely on merit.
A ‘no no’ in the land of BEE!

Hey KEO, this site would be better if you could edit you own posts.

HURRICANE . I said the comments are funny AND accurate.Really ,some of the comments here are very sharp and clever . Fortunately there are very good comments in a serious nature as well.Last year we dished it out and this year we eat humble pie.That is good fun. . I really love reading views from the other countries. In a certain way it gets rid of the bias in which we see the game as a one sided group together.But the rubbish POPPA69 is dishing up here is taking away from this site.
POPPA69.I agree that names like “sheepshaggers” is just as unacceptable.You can form your own opinion of the man that speaks in that way. Do not stoop to that level.

And spoil Tackles fun? How dare you…

@optiplay(optiplay)-215: Well said.
30 Jul 2010, 05:43 am
@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-209: should i bring the transcript of what div said, firstly he said ey-gouging, head-butting, spear tackling were not part of the game and he didn’t encourage them not one bit. Then another question about schalk came and he said, the judicial officer is looking @ it no need to carry on about it, then another question about schalk, div sort of lost it with the hacks and said rugby is a contact sport with collisions in it and it will always be like that & the stuff about tutus…
The man didn’t just jump into the presser and say ‘vok hulle, we will gouge all we want’ but leave it to the vanquished brittish media to blow it into the stratosphere!

@money_man(money_man)-212: when has a springbok team ever been selected on MERIT? Tell us money-man!
30 Jul 2010, 05:48 am
@Hondo(Hondo)-211:
Never said they were the reasons for defeat but both of them have shown very little in ability to carry S14 form into the international arena.
Spies 14 tackles/1 miss 5 runs/41m 1 line break.
Meisiekind 13/3 tackles 5/51m and 1 line break.
Compare to their direct opposition:
Brown 14/1 tackles, 7/32m and 1 line break
Gits 9/1 tackles, 7/96m and 0 line breaks.
So which stat do we chose to look at? The bottomline is that Spies all but dissappear in tight games and Meisiekind shows very little of his running ability when he plays at a higher level.
But they are only two players in a team of plonkers.
30 Jul 2010, 05:49 am
SANZAR needs to get a grip ! first they wait to see what SARU says then they react ?!?
fair enough Pdv opinion was a bit silly but what i dont get is
when the ABs whinge they get an official apology , when Matt Giteau (Ozzy) whinges the ref gets changed, when Pdv (SAFA) throws his toys he gets issued with notice of misconduct and they keep the same ref again?
SARU should grow a pair and withdraw from the SANZAR? besides its time for something new this trinations gig is getting farcical
30 Jul 2010, 05:51 am
@poppa69(poppa69)-214: fine, i’m glad you have no answer for my questions!
@optiplay(optiplay)-215: that’s what i suggested to him too, let him rise above the ditchwater! Just because pigs are rolling in mud in a sty and are bragging about it he doesn’t have to roll in the sh*t too.

I just did ‘entitlements for brains’!
30 Jul 2010, 05:53 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-218:
Fair enough, when is he going to tell the Boks that first part because in the last 3 weeks we have seen all three done by the Boks under his control.
30 Jul 2010, 05:56 am
@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-183:
I said I admired the Boks as a great foe, but wearing Green is sort of ‘death before dishonour’ stuff
30 Jul 2010, 05:57 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-222: what questions? Have I ever heard you call someone a sheepshagger? NO, but have I ever heard you say that someone should stick to rugby, rather then insulting your international visitors? No again…
like I said Trans, youve only spoken up since SA lost and we have been returning all the K@k we have heard for the last year… you think my 3 weeks is bad, try copping it for 50 weeks…
so yeah, perhaps now youll understand why Ive been doing it, and the fact that you Saffas only now want to complain about someone doing it is laughable, where were all the complaints when many of your countryman where doing it for weeks on end? ..
but go ahead, I am the enemy after all..

@money_man(money_man)-223: good for you… When has a springbok team ever been selected on MERIT?
30 Jul 2010, 06:05 am
@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-224: i’m sure you will appreciate that the springboks are grown up, professionals paid BIG money to represent their country! You don’t get to your company and start thrashing the copy machine do you?!
There’s a code of conduct that they have subscribed to!
30 Jul 2010, 06:09 am
@poppa69(poppa69)-226:
Why did you hang around during the period of constant abuse? Was it just to get back at us at some stage in the future?
Vendictive and from a distance really sad…
A few people have suggested you move on now, we really, really get it. To date however you have avoided every single one of my posts today so I will just move you along to the ignore list.
You will be happy to know if I do it in alphabetical order you are above Tackles…black pantie unfortunately is above you on the list.
30 Jul 2010, 06:11 am
@Transformation(Transformation)-229:
My point exctly, so why has he not acted against them? You really only need one example and the rest will be more carefull.
30 Jul 2010, 06:13 am
@poppa69(poppa69)-226: been doing it for eons mate, myself, skop lilith have advocated for you at one time or the other when some here were losing their sh*t…but you what though…go in making your name gat…maybe that’s the real you and i’m trying to curb your natural instinct to be arse
30 Jul 2010, 06:15 am
SLARTIBARTFAST.231..GOOD POINT!!
30 Jul 2010, 06:16 am
@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-230: why was there the constant abuse, have you asked yourself that question?
I hung around to defend my team…
ohhh Im on the ignore list, big farken deal…
I find it vindictive and sad that SA’s are allowed to have their fun to the detriment of everyone else, yet SAs tend to be rather precious when the tables have turned..
have a look back, you’ll see the comment about Clown Academy in England (page 2 of the thread), that was posted as a joke… funny then you guys didnt see it as such, but did see it as me whinging and being vindictive..
like I said, double standards abound..

Too repeat and help a ‘special’ person… 2007 RWC final!

@Transformation(Transformation)-232:
ROTFLMAO… skopscat, lillith, ‘entitlements for brains’… a trio even more clueless than the Bok brains trust!
30 Jul 2010, 06:29 am
SARU need to get their act toghere. The bok setup are made to look poorly managed and unprofessional.
Do the Boks have a media manager or PR agent??
Its does seem that we are on the butt end of the incosistancies that plague rugby. No sanctions against out alliance partners when they criticize a ref.
Lets be honest the reffing over the last 3 games were very poor indeed and one sided(not that would have made a difference anyway).
I think Pdiddy could have used more media friendly terms.
There are definite consistancies in what is happening now in the media and Witouk and the Boks in 2006.

238. muffy(muffy) the video’s humour is blunted by the clowns commenting on it, especially Marto the tard.

Agreed………’Marto” has to be the most stuck up twat around…..was not a very good 15 either……

Look PDV has got has got a severe case of foot in mouth disease, at least he was not like Mallet after a loss who blamed Gaffie

@poppa69(poppa69)-234: It is called home site ( ground) advantage
30 Jul 2010, 07:48 am
Poep69, you still whining? Enjoy the AB’s win but go whine on an NZ site, you’re embarassing your country here. You’re lucky to be called a sheepshagger.
JL1 – good point. And that’s what SNAFu should do. PdV is right, he just doesn’t articulate it well, has minimal support and no counter tactic. What we’re seeing this year is NZ’s counter to the SA quick ball and turnover ball Brussouw won previously. McCaw (and Pocock) are allowed to lie on the ball with impunity, something that was nailed last year. Any Bok that dares touch the ball in a ruck is penalised or carded (ask Bakkies & BJ). In each game a premeditated yellow (none was really deserved if you look at the S14) was given to the Boks within 5 minutes. NZ infractions were ignored (Cowan – jersey pulling).
And I’m not whining – it’s how the NZ and Oz etc game is played. P o’B plans a strategy (maybe even with the NZRFU) that he passes on to the refs. o’Bumchum has absolutely no morals when it comes to supporting the AB’s – hence his weaselly scuttle to apologise after the Italy game.
SNAFU should support PdV solidly with high powered legal representation, game video evidence, refusal to accept certain refs (a la Gitou) and suport from the SA refs (but Twatson is just that; an egotistical twat who values his rep way more than SA rugby). Then start getting P o’ B out and an SA ref in. ALter the laws and their interpretation to favour your team. Then just maybe we have a chance. Then to the coaching – that’s a job like those mythical stables.

247. husky(husky) Ahem brother its time to fight back!
30 Jul 2010, 08:54 am
The funniest, most ironic, aspect of all the entries posted here on this thread is the number of people who are just completely comfortable taking the p*ss out of Krusty and berating him for this nonsensical tirade about refereeing conspiracies and how he’s an idiot and a clown and doesnt deserve to be there.
And yet those very same people have been here on a daily basis – for years – spouting the same persecution-complex BS that has now put Krusty in the dock facing charges for the same.
Last year, Krusty was universally adored here and called ‘the Little Maestro’ because his team beat the ABs 3-0. This year his TriN has begun with 0-3 and now they call him ‘a Clown’.
Who needs enemies with fans like these ?
30 Jul 2010, 09:08 am
@Black Panther(Black Panther)-249: No they said last year he wasnt the coach, it was Smit and matfield. Apparently he has taken over this year as very few are criticizing Smit and Matfield’s coaching.
