I’m looking forward to seeing that centre partnership.
Have to agree the Sharks are making a serious attempt to build a team unlike the WP dumbasses who main business is to export player and get in debt so they have to sell the crown jewels - Newlands etc
Seems Sale are about to lose all, or the bulk of, their South Africans this summer.
I think the sharks are going in the right direction. Especially next season when we can also compete in the European championship.
Right now, each team from each country in the URC qualify. So we will definately have 1 team in, but I would love to see at least 3 of our teams.
Yes Jake Whites player acquisitions look as thought he is building a squad like Heineke Meyer. Too much depth in certain positions, and not enough in others.
Ja, have to agree on White and the bulls. Looks like he loaded his pack with Loose forwards, no real quality hookers or locks.
Then he brought in 'hasbeen' back line players like Mapoe, Vorster, Steyn, Aplon.
Goosen was probably the only real back line player but is now crocked again and not sure how long he will stay at the bulls before he decides to go back to the private sector and shoot his friends in the leg.
White should be looking at bringing back Serfontein and Jessie Kriel to the bulls and maybe even Pollard.
Maybe a few good locks like JD Schickeling and Botha
All of a sudden our URC teams start looking decent and we can give the likes of Leinster a run for their money
Ja, that would be great if we can get Wilco back in SA, wonder who the choice 10 would be. But looks like Goosen for now if he can stay fit, but 9 months is a long time in rugby.
Just how much the French clubs are bitching about SA international players.
This almost makes me think that club rugby might have a rethink on who they recruit.
Japan seem to be the right model as their season is short, only looking at big names now.
Just watched Damian Mackenzie pretty much single handedly won the game against Pieter Steph Toyota Verblitz, but he is only there for 6 months, then back to the AB.
But it means they get a fit player for the season, makes a massive impact given that they are world class and happy to help bring the quality of the matches up.
I see the Saarks are losing Am for 2 months as well.
