Fokkit but you are dof ou Maaikie. Let me help you out. Cloudy said that Morne will play a blinder in the S15 this year. She said fokol about the Springboks.
@Cloudy. Have you not noticed that ou Maaikie is on cloud 9 because Morne will not be playing in the S15 this year. He is contracted to Stade Francais. Of course ou Maaikie will have you believe that Morne is soon to be relieved of his contract because he "does not make" the Stade Francais starting line-up. He has obviously only read the head line of the article about Steyn, ignored the rest of it, and then made the rest up as usual. He also like to believe that Bakkies Botha does not make the Toulon starting line-up any-more.

The only dof doos around here is you, arse hole. You quoted it, but you did not read it properly and you ignored some of the parts in the article. I am not even interested in arguing it with you because I know what was said and the fact that he was in the starting xv against Biaritz proved exactly what Gonzalo Quesada meant in that article. In fact,you completely ignored the opening paragraph of the article. Go find it and read it again..... the entire article this time.

@mikey,
"The NZ franchises will not have more than 2 teams in the top 6
franchises - one obligatory and one because of point scoring. The
rest will not show much."
rest wont show much cos NZ is the hardest conference in the comp an opinion shared by many top saffa commentators.
NZ have always had two teams in the top 6, but if check the spXV championship points carefully, u will notice that none of them have been obligatory, all have been on merit.
in fact, when u check the last two years carefully, NZ have had two teams in the top 3, with the pro SARU law about the leaders from every conference being granted automatic top 3 spots, being the only thing to stop the crusaders from finishing in thier rightful place as the 3rd place team.
the consequences of this for the crusaders and NZ was huge, cos in both 2012 and 2013 it meant after the qualifying finals were over and done with, the crusaders had to square of against eventual spXV winners the chiefs, something that would never have happened had the ladder been all about merit and the only thing IMO to stop an all NZ final.
NZ werent the only ones hard done by with this SARU enforced law, cos the sharks insane traveling schedule in the 2012 spXV finals was heavily influenced by this as i have mentioned in the past.
still never forget, NZ is the only country to play in every spXV final, and 50% of all teams in spXV have been kiwis, our SANZAR brothers can cout their lucky stars they dont tangle in the NZ conference, but given that its done sweet F all to stop the NZ rising tide of success, one can only wonder whats next on the horizon as SA and OZ adminstrators behind the scenes look for more ways to stop the NZ dominance, :o)
