Pumas win 33-15 to relegate the Griquas to first div rugby in 2014.

Not ideal..Which union will pick up Willie Le Roux now or has he already shown interst/signed with Cheetahs?


Looks like Dave's choice of Bok 12 (Howard Mnisi) could not get the job done! Jean De Villiers would have! He is playing right where he belongs..First division!

Bogtwat do you get off on lying.......makes you look a little smaller than you already are......keeping paddling arsewipe.

For the record Griquas are a pretty average side, it will be Hawies and Pete's job to take them to better things, budget allowing.

He has my list of players to chase........Tyler Fisher and co!

 Oh yeaj, I forgot.. That was 3 days ago... You are on to your new 12 now..Who is that now? I mean, you are of the belief that Jean is past it and offers nothing. That in itself discounts you as a serious contender for the blogger who most knows his shit!
Whose your new 12? Is he in high school yet plank?

Looking at the match last night I thought that Willie le Roux looked very average in an average team last night.   Maybe his heart was not in the game and he played it safe - he did not want to miss out on the EOYT - or maybe it is because he is leaving Griquas and it was his last match for them.

 

I agree - there is a lot of youngsters on the verge of selection for the various franchises that Griquas could sign up - which will make the m a good challenging team for the future.   Those players can also boost the Cheetahs Super 15  squad.

 

I would strongly advise against any signing of  Francois Steyn though - there are better 12's around.

 Well sad for the Cheetahs as it is expected Griguas will lose their quality players.Will Griquas ever recover.

 First of all, well done to the Pumas.

Secondly, nicely done Saffex. By turning all the attention to your love for Howard Mnisi and pushing the issue of your "bleak mate" who signed up to coach a CC Premier Division side but will end up coaching a First Division side to the background, you dodged that bullet nicely.

No dodging at all. It is as it is. Pete signed up prior to the relegation match and would have signed up regardless as its a great opportunity for him in that he will now be involved in first class rugby. Plus his wife is struggling being away from family with two small boys, the youngest being a year old who's grandparents have yet to see him.

His contract with Griquas includes a performance clause after the 2nd year as he maintains they are stuck with the same squad next season, with only R1.5m to spend.

Their usual budget is R11m a year compared to the bigger unions that have R100m. He stated that he only wants to be judged performance wise once they are allowed to bring in their own players, I suspect Hawies has the same clause.

Pete says he is going to be spending plenty of time watching school, varsity and provincial U19 and U21 rugby over the next 18 months - lucky bastard.

He is joining me for the CC final this afternoon and then it will be farewell to a good mate, he had an emotional farewell with his team last night, my son said their were plenty of tears shed .
