Rugby Championship - Teams - Round 1

 Post the whole thread - and we will see who is missrepresenting facts.  

Look, I don't give a shit whether this guy is or was who he said he was. Same that applies to Gonzo, applies to this guy, IMO.

Be that as it may, you should know that it is technically impossible to post the whole thread, poepol. Here is the link to the thread, in any case:

And a few of the posts on it:

 Poi-e, I have always been sceptical of Ole Cruz's authenticity as well but for only one reason........he has an incredible knowledge of the English language and grammar and throws in sayings like "first off" which would never be used by anyone who has English as a second language. Hell, he writes better than anyone on this site! That's what made me smell a rat!

I'm happy to be proven wrong Ole but please explain how you know English so well without even a hint of a grammatical error??

Tomas's father owns a house in Clifton near Cape Town and he has close ties with SA - he spents time in the Cape and has ties when many younger players in SA.   That may explain his abilities to handle the English language

.....and then.....

 Thanks Mike but as most Saffas on this site have English as their second language it would be hard for you guys to pick up on the things I have. Even if Tomas has spent time in SA, he wouldn't express himself the way he does unless English is his first language........ or he's the finest English language student that ever lived!

That's what makes me wonder.

I'm currently attached to Pampas XV, and having completed our training sessions this week, we're close to flying out to Australia for the Pacific Rim Cup. Then I must report to RM92, provided I do not get selected for the June Internationals.

Poi-e -- I have a better idea. Why don't I just give you my phone number and we talk "personally"? Not joking.

Moola - I WISH I could speak English that well. I attended a bilingual school (quite common over here), so my grasp of the English language might be above average. That, and having spent several summers at the Cape (speaking mainly English and a VERY rudimentary Afrikaans) probably kicked it up a notch. Took some French classes as well, but I never really picked up on it. Huge mistake.

 Tomas

Like any forum there are bad and good elements - Unfortunately there are some members who never ever makes a rugby contribution but thrive on personal attacks and smears and poi-e is a leading one in that. 

Your departure will be a massive loss on this site and I am very sorry to see you go.  I am a great admirer of your knowledge of the game and your attributes and hope you keep at least in contact.   If you ever see your way clear to phone me - I will indeed be honoured - my phone number is +270325544041.

I wish you well in your playing career and hope you have a wonderful and rewarding life.

(Have you ever checked on what info is available by just doing a bit of research on that number?)

...... and then....... boooom:

 Poi-e, I've just got off the blower with a mate of mine here in Hamilton who also happens to be a Liaison person with the Chiefs.

He confirmed our suspicions that Tomas the Tank Engine could hardly speak any English (pigeon at best!) so there is no way that he and Ole Cruz are the same person.

Anyone who writes as well as Ole would be a fluent speaker as well.

Sorry to burst your bubbles  Mikey et al!!

 OK - Lets summarise this one

Ole Cruz claimed he was Tomas and he may have taken all of us foir a ride in that regard.  However - whenever he made a rugby contribution on this site ut was more insightful than what we generally see on this site.  

There is one thing though and it has everything to do with what we try and do on the site and that is to -

*  discus rugby-related issues; and

*   not use the site for personal attacks on members.

We all go overboard from time to time on the latter issue - but most members talk riugby and not personal issues here.   There are however members who use the site purely for personal attacks on other members and here poi-e and ceradyne are typical examples of the filth we have as some members.   We all try and poke fun at each other site members - they represents the scum that spread poison without any rugby contribution ever.  

That is the type of thing that destroyed the NZ forum and most NZ members have mentioned it before on this site from time to time.  We discus the moles that come and do the same thing here = yet we have our own sheisters here as well.

A few years ago one member had the audacity to spread all the personal information on Mozart all over a site and it caused major problems - so lets keep those off the Board and discuss rugby issues.

One last thing - whatever can be said about Ole Cruz - he knows more about rugby than almost all members we have here and it showed in his contributions.   That is why I would have liked to see more of those here - and less of the crap ished up by some sheisters we have as members.          

Says the stupid fool who has just posted his own personal telephone number on this very same thread

Here is a classic
" - he spents time in the Cape and has ties when many younger players in SA.   That may explain his abilities to handle the English language"
Says the OOm who spends all his time in RSA ...but "dussent spents it good"

 Hey clevermike revise the Abs, Conrad Smith is out, he has gone home for the birth of his child, Malakai is starting, and Ryan Crotty has come in as cover.

 Doine as requested.

The juvenile debating reigns supreme again.  Where is your absent comments dunce?
