I see Jorda n is in the side for Friday's warm up against the Bears.
I've watched this young man play when he was at Maties...very impressed and definitely a good buy for the Shark's.
Think he has greatness in the making...a little Jewish luck too...always good for a side...remember the late Syd Nomis, Mike
Do you recall Wilf Rosenberg?
Greenwood and Stransky - My father always stated that a Springbok backline without a Jew playing is just not a proper Springbok backline.
I think Jordan will be a vast improvement on Bosch, This guy is a great thinking player - fast and a good defender.
Mike he reads the game well and is a born leader and oozes confidence...this is exactly what the Sharks need badly...an excellent buy before the Stormers could snatch him. An old SAC's lad...was captain of SAC's 1st XV and Maties.

AJH...yes I remember Wilf Rosenberg...at least my late dad used to speak of him...he went over to England later to play League as well as Ivor Dorrington.
Ivor I met on 2 occassions at the Strand Golf Course...he was a real wild hell-raiser type of guy, who drank a bit even in his latter years, he was a playboy and had scores of females that chased after him, including one of my dads girlfriend he nearly married after my mother died... he played for WP (I think No 8) and was considered as one of the dirtiest players ever to play rugby in SA.
A Jew in the mix is always good.
Typical WP incompetent leadership.
We remain the Province keeping so many unions afloat with all the talent we nurture here??
Great flair in this youngster,lets hope it goes thru to now to the Super Rugger.
Don't worry Beeno see your union got Jamie Roberts of Wales now.
Ya Beeno.... pity your union can't keep itself financially afloat!
How good is a Ferrari without petrol?
Well I don't how the poor buggers are going to play in just over 37 minutes time...Hillcrest is like an oven and it's in hills, down there in Durban near beach it's a sauna c ombined with a microwave.
Poor Sharks but even poorer Bears...it's really impossible to play rugby in this heat.
Louis Babrow....sewed up my chin after a tackle from behind got me a boot in the face.....a family friend. This is an interesting exerpt:
n 1937, Babrow faced the dilemma of whether or not to play a game against New Zealand on Yom Kippur, a Jewish holy day. In the end, Babrow played, with the rationale that he was playing in New Zealand, not his homeland:
"I'm a South African Jew, not a New Zealand Jew and New Zealand is eight hours before South Africa in time. When we are playing our holy day will not yet have dawned in South Africa".[4]At 22, Babrow was the youngest member of the touring party.[4] One of Babrow's cross-kicks set up a try for Ferdie Bergh to score.[4]He recalled that some members of the Springbok party were Greyshirt sympathisers, but that he never experienced anti-Semitism on the tour.[4]
