Given the influx of Kiwis here we need all the sound minds we can muster! 

Miss Ek's common sense and genial ways.

 

Muncher's being awol is more understandable as he is having trouble with rugby 101 page 2 as usual.


Snapster, despite his thick skinned bravado, is very embarrassed how well Meyer is doing. 

If we lose to the abs - a remote possibility - he will of course be back in a flash.

Beeno

 

I think Ek was irked by the tone adopted by some posters on this site and their constant personal attacks on each other.   He said so in a post and he also said that he is leaving as a result.   We asked him to stay - but he left anyway. 

 

Cannot say I blame him - some of the poster on this site is really obnoxious - especially your friend windpomp.

 Mike Ek is a complete gentleman. A perfect role model for the kiwis you understand.The argie bargie is pretty mild in my view. Proved to much for abnob though. Cloiudy though hardly bats and eyelid!Trouble is if you are looking for a mild rugby board you are looking for the unattainable.So Ek and abnob you are missed.
As for the bent and most obnoxious windpomp well I think he has learnt a few good lessons whilst here. I for one had to sort him out on a number of issues.  Mike I don't think he grasped your point about the damage that could be done to Ireland, Scotland and Italy was it by the new format?

 Hi Beeno
Glad to see I am missed by someone at least, appreciate it
Mike yes the guys going into each other does irk me but my skin is a bit thicker than you expect. Mostly only look in every now and then, started studying again earlier in the year and trying to balance the studies work and fa mily. So mostly only watch the boks and sometimes province play theses days.
Because of that I really don't feel like I have a valid knowledgebase to talk about rugby.
You okes do seem to have a go at each other so with all the new faces here some arguments are....how shall I put it...entertaining.

Ek having a valid knowledge base to talk ruby rugby is not at all necessary and only a few have it in any case. Modesty prevents me naming the few. 
But keep in touch we do need sane sound minds here to help us keep on course.What are you studying?

 Is that through UCT - one of the top business schools in the world - only for the elite as Moz can vouch for.
Good luck with it Ek - I am sure it will all be worth the effort.

So its UCT!!! Best university in the whole of Africa and one of the tops in the world.Very few kiwis, if any, are admitted there of course. 
All the very best and give it your best shot.

 hehe, no it's not UCT. The course doesn't focus that much on softer skills more on the hard skills and they aren't an issue for me. They are a very good business school but there are other one's that are good enough or better depending on what you want to focus on...or what your budget is.
