The following article is quoted:- "Kings fly-half Demetri Catrakilis has announced that he will be joining Western Province for the Currie Cup competition. Catrakilis helped Province to their first Currie Cup title in more than a decade last year when he played an instrumental role in their final victory over the Sharks. However, a move to the Kings for the Super Rugby season had already been agreed and the Stormers were forced to watch on as one of their own starred for the Kings. There has been much speculation that the 24-year-old will turn out for the Stormers next season, but while a decision on this has not been made, the pivot will be back in Cape Town for the Currie Cup. "So to put all speculation to rest I'm off to @WP_RUGBY for the currie cup!!! Looking fwd to it," he tweeted. Catrakilis will be competing with Gary Van Aswegen, Kurt Coleman and Tim Swiel for the number ten jersey. The trio will get an early opportunity to impress, with Catrakilis out of action for four weeks due to a shoulder injury." This is good news for WP and bad news for Jantjies. The latter was poor in most games in Super 15 for the Stormers and was especially in the Stormers-Bulls game shone up when Van Aswegen played a top notch game for the Stormers. With Catrakilis back - there would be no reason for the Stormers to sign up Jantjies - so he is likely to go back to the Lions for the next Super 15 season. Money remains a serious problem insofar as Jantjies is concerned - the Stormers paid a fortune for him to play in Super 15 - and it was in fact a waste of money. That means that they can get Catrakilis back at a much more reasonable outlay and at the same time get a much better flyhalf in the deal.. With him and Van Aswegen they will have a much better flyhalf cover in Super 15 next year.

We’ll take Jantjies back … of course we will!!!!

 

Why not … I mean he singlehandedly cost us the match against the Kings on Saturday … and it’s not as if we have any aspirations to advance ourselves in next year’s super rugby competition.

 

We’re just happy to collect the wooden spoon year in and year out … make an arse of ourselves ... again ... but hey … don’t take our super rugby spot or else … even if you use the opportunity more than we do.!!

Cleancut Please give my friend Saffex break - he will have a seizure if he reads what you said about Jantjies - that is a second one after what would happen because of my comments. He thinks Jantjies is a class act - so what we said will make him very angry.

Yeah … well … what can I say?

 

The idiot rates HouGat as our top scrummy … so his love of the moron is well noted.

 

He's even stated that he likes Coenie in the Bok 3 jersey. How doff is that??

 

I’ve seen him speak highly of Jantjies. It doesn’t surprise me at all.

 

Jantjies too is a moron … so it stands to reason that Stupid would rave about him.

It's called the "Hap" hairstyle.

 

Here a hap, there a hap, everywhere a fokken hap!!!

 

I would love to introduce him to my Great Dane "King Odin" ... "Odie" for short.

 

He'll show him what a fokken hap is supposed to look like.

lions - zero super rugby titles
stormers -zero super rugby titles

in the words of reese bobby from talladega nights "if u aint first, ur last"  IMO chiefs, bulls, crusaders, reds, blues and brumbie fans can poke fun at lions fans, but no one else can considering thier empty super rugby trophy cabinet, food for thought.

The only teams that have SUPER Rugby titles are the Reds and Chiefs.

Nope. There is no competition known as the Super XV. Its known as Super Rugby. Those other you mention have Super 12 and Super 14 titles. Different trophy different name so different competition.

 

Why did you not mention the Lions who won the first Super 10 title? The Super 12 is a competition expanded from it yet you chose to ignore that but here arguing that Super Rugby and Super 12 as well as 14 is the same competition. Wonder why?

@spoony,

i dont include spX cos it wasnt professional then, it was amteur rugby and if u were to go back then, u might as well go back to super 6 which is what super X evolved from and then even further to the south pacific championship which is what it was before super 6.
spXII is the most logical beginning point of refenrece cos of the pro era, but its also what SANZAR offically call the beginning super rugby era.

and i guess ur technically correct about the term super rugby title, but when i use the term super rugby, im talking about ALL of super rugby in the pro era, and if thats the technical case, then the lions have NEVER won a title, the cats did.

also if u consider the lions spX title a title, why are u poking fun at lions fans, at least they have won something.

So Sasuke we should ignore the 87 and 91 World CUp as well because it wasn't proffesional? So the first WC was won by SA and SA are the only team to win it twice.

 

Thank you

@spoony,

1995 RWC was in the amateur era, rugby union turned pro for SANZAR countries on 26th of august 1995, but 1996 is when it was officially recognised around the world by the IRB.

1995 RWC was may thru june, u can connect the rest of the dots.

ur wlecome, :oP

Oh so no you want to reckoniize the IRB? Yet you discard the matches sanctioned by the IRB? Like the Lions super 10? 

 

When was the Pro contracts signed Sasuke?  During the 95 World CUP. Otherwise there would have not been a SA and NZ rugby team to play each other in 96 as the World Corperation almost got all of them into a deal. The Kiwi's were more scrambling to get their players signed to NZ  than to bothert to move to Ellispark and get use to the altitude. Altitude is called food poisoning in NZ I believe.

 

So again Thank you

 

But you are missing the point. 

 

If you ignore certain things that fit you by applying certain criteria's like you just did it tells you that its a personal issue like NZ favorite thing and please don't deny this. THEY DO NOT LIKE TO LOSE. If they do they want to ignore it. Like SA are so great cause they are losing. When they win we are thugs.

 

Not supporters fault just the way kiwi supporters are used to help with intimidatiion. They lose the million excuses. They win no problem

 

If you don't believe me let me do I am a typical Kiwi test 101

 

Find for me a TEAM picture of a AB team that lost a test match? Get me one of the AB team of the 2nd test of 1956.

@spoony,

keep ur knickers on and read what i actually posted, i never said i discarded the cats win in super 10 (BTW its cats, not lions), but when i say super rugby, i mean all the super rugby games played in the pro era which for the record SANZAR also recognises as super rugby.
if u include spX then good on ya, but then u can include spVI and the south pacific championship which is where it orignally came from.
my referernce of super rugby beginning at spXII is mainly because of the pro era, not cos im trying to ignore anything else.

as for the 95 RWC, believe what u want,  but i and the rest of the world know that the 95 TWC was played in the amateur era, stop wasting ur time trying to convince me otherwise, tkae ur beef up with the IRB and ever other rugby union in  the world including SARU and then we can talk on this matter.
but fact cannot be denied, 95 RWC was amateur era, its why that 95 RWC is commonly known as rugby unions last major event in the amateur era.
nvm the fact u said urslef, they were scrambling to get the contracts signed the same week of the finals, dosnet that mean the RWC is in amtaeur days???

and again, ur welcome.

im not ignoring things, i just think that a distinction between amateru era and professional era is not unreasonable, especially where super rugby is concerned.

but if u were to look at all the records from SPC to spXV, who would give fudge, NZ still dominate by a country frekaing mile.
compare the All Blacks v Boks record as whole, and the All Blacks still come out on top.

intimidation??? LMAO, yes beating the Boks more times then they have beat us would be SA definition of intimidating, just like almost not losing but still losing is SA definiton of dominating, LMAO, :oD

but each to their own, im of the opinon that a real SA rugby fan will always blame the ref when a SA team loses, the odd one that dosent is what they call the exception to the rule.

@Sasuke

 

I said that with a smile on my face and I do not wear any nickers.  Off course they got paid. Ever heard of a signing on bonus? 

 

Where is my picture of that losing AB side having trouble finding one? Cmon ya bad losers find one to disprove my point.

 

Ceradyne. Neither did the Reds Queensland did.  It talks like a duck walks like a duck it is a duck 

Capiche?
