If anything that Peter de Villiers says can be believed, then the following statement might put some form a smile on your face.
Willem Alberts will be considered for the test match against the All Blacks this Saturday in Port Elizabeth. Commenting on Juan Smith and the availability of the World Cup winning flank, de Villiers mentioned that Alberts was probably ready to face the Wallabies this week, but did not want to risk the player ahead of the World Cup.
This is great news for the big Sharks forward, who will be more than happy to run at a few All Blacks this weekend. In the meantime, Juan Smith has been released to the Cheetahs to play Currie Cup rugby this weekend, the same rehabilitation that Heinrich Brüssow went through by playing a few minutes for the Cheetahs.
YAYHHHHHH!!
Juan Smith to play for the Cheetahs this weekend
**Must read threads till the end**
@Clayton(PJLD) (Comment 3) : Its not the longest of arti’s either!
Hee haa!!
I just hope Juan does not get injured *again* if he plays this weekend.
Actually hope we can put alberts into some half gaps /gaps rather than “into some all blacks”.hope he makes some big hits on the abs.
On another GO BIG VIC!!
@Clayton(PJLD) (Comment 2) : Maybe they can up their win ratio to 50%
Only fitting for a team billed as favourites to win the 2011 CC.
Great news now we just have to put francois steyn on a two week diet.And give him a big pair of scissors to shave that massive french poodle under his scrum cap.
No wine…no..KFC…no…Nando’s…and bunny chows allowed francois.Gym work buddy!
Hopefully we can hae him and deysel in the world cup squad ,deysel deserves it! Never in bad form and one of those players with BMT
Juan smith is a must for wc.line-out play,ball carrying ability,tackling,competitor till the final whistle.
@Muzi (Comment 10) : He has been snacking too much in the boulangerie.
Between Burger, Smith, Deysel and Alberts someone has got to miss out. Brussow will no doubt go as well as Spies. Unless Alberts plays at 8?
Kanko and Johnson most likely to miss out?

@Mutley (Comment 15) : I think you will be spot on…
@wpw (Comment 14) : Don’t think Deysel will go to the WC. I very well could be wrong though.
