 Griquas Updated

 Mike, Sharkbok discoverd how to insert a link into a post that will enable everyone to edit a post. This might help you guys to update the teams as they become available, but it will also enable any fool to completely wreck the post. Here's what I propose you do, I tried to do in myself, but it's too difficult from my phone.

1. Create another ruckers account to protect your own.
2. Log into your new account. 
   
3. Create the thread like normal.
4. Copy the content of that post and paste it into the first reply box and you obviously have a duplicate post.
5. Now edit the second post.
6. Copy the whole address bar.
7. Still in edit mode, create a link in there and copy the url copied eirlier into the link.
8. Save post.
9. Anyone clicking into the link will be able to edit it.
10. Members must be signed into their accounts to be able to use the editor, but unfortunately it does not show who made whatever changes.
11. The rest of the members still post the team updates below, just incase some idiot messes up the post just for fun.
12. You will still be the only who can edit the original post at the top, but it will remove the urgency to constantly update the post....if the rest of the members can behave.

 Pumas Updated

 Kings updated

 Some doubts,......
"13 Nicolaas Hanekom", I supose he's Stokkies Hanekom, isn't he?
and "19 Albertus Smith" , he'll be Kwagga Smith, is this correct?

 ABF
That is correct - we normally use their nicknames - not their actual names.  Incidentally "Stokkies" means "sticks") - maybe he got the name coming from wine - farming part of the country.  Jakkals means "Jackal"
   

 thanx mike,...... I think it's the first time I see their real names, as you said they are usually referred with their nicknames

 WP Updated

 Mike, the nicks "Stokkies" and "Stix" are normally given to tall and lean laaities with thin legs. He might have been a skinny teenager. Victor's nick is Kiewiet and Jacque Fourie's "Mossie". Both bird references due to their thin legs. Mayfield does not like his Nick at all, yet he used Morne's rather less flattering nick, "Vetkop"(Fathead) in a post match interview on TV.

Draad - thanks for the explanation.  Matfield is indeed a "kiewiet"  He still has the thinnest legs I have seen in any lock playing international rugby and in Mozart's parlance - he also has thin shoulders and wrists compared to other locks.
