I just read a report that he has decided to remain in South Africa, while the rest of the squad left to Australia.
No reason was given other than "personal reasons". Surely he is over the skin grafs by now.
Thomas Du Tank is also out, with a family bereavement. He will not feature on the overseas leg, as the Boks have enough depth at prop.
It is unclear if RJ will fly over, maybe if Gandalf does,
RG strikes me as a bit of a loskop dolla….how’s that for remembering the lingo Draad?
True …..damn Shark can’t get anything right.
Probably the most physically talented number 5 in the game….but he is missing some of the great playing opportunities in his career. Will he ever play against the Lions for example.
RG is not Josè's style of player. He likes a blunt heavy, lumbering lock, and Lomp will fill that profile better than anyone. The disparity in ability and production does make the preference for Lomp very peculiar. Talk about personal biases and being blinkered.
Loskop indeed, but "dolla" is a girl....he's got bad luck for sure.
And there I thought Al Debbo was bent.
...maybe not bent, but definitely not normal....Debbo en Burgers were like Budd Spencer and Terrence Hill...good old days.
When I was a small kid - under 10 - my parents took my brother and me to a long running show called "Kom Saam Vanaand" of Nico Carstens in Cape Town Must have been in 1951 or 1952 and one of the main singers and joke tellers that evening was Al Debbo. .
Alec Debbo, the son of Lebanese parents, was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa. As a child he had to help out in his parents’ general merchandise store. His parents taught him Lebanese Arabic and English but he learned Afrikaans at an early age, because Afrikaans was the dominant language in Bloemfontein.[2]
In school concerts he displayed a knack for making people laugh but he did not see comedy as a viable career, so after he matriculated he qualified as a plumber. Singing and comedy remained his hobbies and he performed at functions and weddings. In 1947 everything changed after his friends dared him to participate in a countrywide talent competition, associated with the South African Industries Fair, which he won. As a result he landed his first film role in Die Kaskenades van Dokter Kwak. It lasted only three minutes but it was enough to generate national recognition.[2]
