The following from News24:-


"English club Worcester Warriors have announced that centre Wynand Olivier has signed a one-year contract extension.


READ: Ex-Bok saddened by Bulls' recent woes


The 34-year-old, who played 38 Tests for the Springboks, left the Bulls in 2013 to play for French side Montpellier.


He joined the Warriors in 2015 and has since become a stalwart for the English club.

“Worcester has become a home for me over the past three years and I’m really pleased to be staying,” Olivier told Worcester’s official website.


“I’ve made some great friends at the club, there’s a really good vibe about the place right now and I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds for Warriors.”


Warriors director of rugby Alan Solomons added: “Wynand is a consummate professional and having someone of his experience in the squad is vital.


“He has done a tremendous job in his three seasons at Sixways so far and is a fantastic role model for some of our upcoming youngsters.”


My question relates not only to his rugby career - but also whether he has run out of peroxide since t he blonde hair is gone.

Yep it’s pretty absurd that Federer won the the Oz open at 36......as for your nasty comment on Wynand’s hair Tokkie, I doubt anybody would swop his hair peroxided or not for your kaal kop.

There is nothing I write on site which is not turned into a personal hate campaign by  the brainless and that includes the village idiots Mozart and Beeno.

My point is that clubs up north must really be desperate to contract spent forces like Olivier.

He was never really a top rugby player ... I can only imagine what he's like today ... being elderly and all.

Federer is one on a million. Somehow I don't think comparing Olivier to him is fair at all ... but hey ... anything to promote the elderly over the young , right?

Objectively our old heroes who topped out at 30 trained poorly, smoked like chimneys and spent their evenings in bars. Modern athletes are in much better shape. There are many examples. So rather than assuming an athlete is done via the clock, it’s better to look at their performance. What we know specifically about the Boks is since our ‘old’ team was replaced with a ‘young’ team is we have dropped from second to fifth in world.

Mozart

I have never seen anywhere that you ever apply performance as a norm for sportsmen.   Matter of fact your only selection norm ever was age and  reputation - performance was never a requirement. 

You must have changed your viewpoint on that issue - a bit late I must say - but it is at least progress on your part.   Now we must just get you to consider what on the field of play are indicators if what good performance represents,   Will be a hell-of-a-job - but with perseverence we must just get there.         

Now we must also try and get the issue of aimless kicking out of your idea and  advance4 on the basis that scoring of tries are extremely important in the game of rugby.    If all of us work together and try our utmost we have a 5% chance on getting you to improve y our approach,

That’s what you keep saying Tokkie....the fact that I don’t bother to refute your claims like: 1 I only select on reputation 2 I don’t believe in tries 3 I believe in aimless kicking ....is just a matter of convenience. Kicking a wall is a more productive activity than trying to change your mind.

Mozart

It is unfortunate that all your postings always refer to experience and age when discussing an y selections and  your hatred of younger sportsmen runs deep.

You have never yet credited players who score tries or contribute to tries - you tried to only convey negativity in trying to find fault with them.

You go over the moon about kicking and the usage of backline players have never even been considered in your postings from a positive perspective.    

Sorry Mozart - you  have created your own image on site and it is not surprising that the image I gave of your postings are shared by many members,

You can only improve your image by being less prejudiced and more objective in your postings.

Tokkie, of the kaal cop, it all sounds very much as if you are jealous of Wynands hair!

That too isn't a fair comparison, Mozart ... but you know that.

The "old" team would have been put to shame by the "young" ... if ... it was selected on merit.

The only way that the "old" could have looked the better of the two is to have had poor selections like Jantjies, De Allende, De Jongh, Kriel, Rhule, Oupa, Kolisi, Cassiem, Beast, Strauss, Bongi, Coenie, Paige, Serfontein and Skosan.

To be worse than a side that got beaten by Japan takes some doing.

Beeno

First a question.   Have you ever seen a "kaalkop donkie" - bird brain?

Your comments on site have deteriorated to a low level only you can achieve and which indicates an unbelievable level of stupidity,   LOL

Indeed Moz.

While Ian Botham and Fred Flintoff were practically identical, the difference between eras is never more evident than when one compares those two.


Flintoff would have been a nightmare back then.
