The Lions won’t allow Stormers coach Rassie Erasmus to play mind games with them ahead of the crucial Super 14 rugby match at Ellis Park on Saturday.
Erasmus, whose team must collect a full haul of five log points to remain in the race for a semi-final berth, is known as a coach who likes to play games with his opponents.
Hennie Brandt writes in Beeld that Lions coach Eugene Eloff said on Monday he would take no notice of what Erasmus might say about Saturday’s match.
“I don’t know whether he will play games,” Eloff said. “But we won’t take notice of anything that is said. I also won’t read any newspapers this week. All I am focussing on is what we should do to win the match.
“The Stormers are coming to Ellis Park well prepared. They are a good team. But we have the ammunition to beat them if we retain possession, defend well and finish our attacks.”
The Lions start their preparations on Tuesday. They enjoyed a day off on Monday after the physical match against the Chiefs last Saturday.
Needed several stitches
The rest day was certainly a welcome break for flankers Joe van Niekerk and Cobus Grobbelaar and No 8 Willem Alberts. Grobbelaar needed several stitches to sew up a wound in his left eyelid last Saturday.
The trio and their tight five will play an important role against the Stormers.
Eloff and his assistants, Leon Boshoff and Wimpie Vermeulen will finalise their 22 on Wednesday. Unless something dramatic happens, they are likely to field the same 22 that shared in the 33-27 victory over the Chiefs.
“I don’t think there will be many changes. One does not change a winning combination for nothing,” Eloff said.
However, he and Vermeulen will have to think long and hard about the scrumhalf in the starting lineup.
Chris Jonck was promoted to the run-on team last week when Jano Vermaak went down with the flu. Jonck grabbed the opportunity and played extremely well.
Vermaak has now recovered and the coaches have to decide who will wear No 9 against the Stormers.
The lineout battle will be particularly important on Saturday. Gerhard Mostert was outstanding last week and when Franco van der Merwe replaced Dewald Seneral at lock, the Chiefs had major problems.
The Stormers have an outstanding lineout and Eloff and his staff will pay much attention to the selection of their lock-forward combination.
The likely Lions team: Earl Rose, Louis Ludik, Jaque Fourie, Walter Venter, Ryno Benjamin, Jaco van Schalkwyk, Chris Jonck, Willem Alberts, Joe van Niekerk, Cobus Grobbelaar (c), Gerhard Mostert, Dewald Senekal, JC Janse van Rensburg, Willie Wepener, Heinke van der Merwe.
Substitutes: Ethienne Reynecke, Ross Geldenhuys, Franco van der Merwe, Wilhelm Koch, Jano Vermaak, Jannie Boshoff and Dusty Noble.

Its amazing how a persons feelings for a player can fluctuate as much as mine do for this version of Joe van Niekerk and the previous one that paraded for the Stormers and Province. This version just seems to be such a grafter that doesnt contemplate giving up – that despite being in a team that has really not had it easy. I like.
Salmo
IMO it comes down to my old argument that some players just won’t fit into certain set-ups.
Can you ever imagine Skinstad playing for The Bulls or Cheetahs?
That’s why I think Juan Smith will finish his career as a Cheetah for example.
Look how well Ricky is doing in CT compared to the way he had to lose weight every time he left the Lions setup to play for the Boks. This year there will not be any need for him to gain match fitness or lose weight when the bok season starts.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 2) :
Too true KSA,
Skinstad as a Bull 😯
Look how well Jaco vd Westhuizen did in Durban 🙄
I must agree with you KSA. When the Sharks were looking to buy Bakkies – I just couldn’t see that one either!
@Nessa (Comment 5) : Like Kees Lensing…
@Nessa (Comment 5) :
I felt the same way when there was the Juan Smith Rumour doing the rounds
Rob – Kees should have stayed with the Bulls – he was of no use to us.
What about Habana – as good as he may be – he is a Bull.
@Nessa (Comment 8) : Habana is professional enough to fit in wherever he goes. I think he’d do fine with us.
Not so sure about Meisiekind, though… remember he was meant to be part of the package that Santa Bernie promised to bring.
Rob – didn’t mean that he wouldn’t be a good buy – we could do with a really awesome wing. I meant that he will always be a Bull in my eyes – just don’t see him in a Sharks jersey.
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 9) :
Meisie kind would do well enough in DBN. he has that look about him. The hair makes him a good candidate to Buy some of Aj’s old suits. 😆
@Nessa (Comment 10) : Once he’s scored about 10 tries in a Sharks jersey, I’m sure you’ll change your mind 😉 Sharks could do with a really decent finisher among the backs. We have lots of guys creating opportunities, but Odwa is about the only guy who really knows how to convert those.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 11) : He scored a peach of a try against the Brumbies… I still don’t like him, but he occasionally does some very clever things. Then again, he often does some really stupid things too…
@KSA Shark © (Comment 2) :
Disagree KSA…Ricky had a real good few years at the LIONS and became a Bok with his performances at the LIONS…his last 2 years he started slipping away…(not even maybe last year and a half)…
I believe that could be that he was losing his belief in the team/set-up at the end of the Ludeke era…..
Plus Loffie came in with a iron rod if you remember…said he is not afraid to drop you no matter who you played for or how well you did in the past…he proved this by fielding a very young side who lost game after game in the start of his first tourno (the 2006 CC)
Coupled with a few injuries he had at the same time (if not mistaken mostly around the legs)…
Plus the pressures on Jano who was outstanding when he came on the seen in place of an injured Ricky…
Jano not the same this season though in my opinion…good but not stand out….
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 12) :
Robd you managed to fix the cursor thingy…
Coupled with the comment number the reply botton is now awesome…
JFourie to run over Bobo and Jean this weekend and show why he is the only 13 SA can talk of at this stage….
Jinne the Chiefs midfield looked out of their depth everytime JFourie took the ball up…
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 12) :
The LIONS have that same problem…in actual fact the LIONS are the team that has couched up the most catch and fall oppo this season…and by a long shot…
@Hmmm (Comment 14) : Thanks…. I’m glad someone appreciates my hard work 😉
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 17) :
I’ll be surprised if anyone else even noticed… 🙄
But I do appreciate it Robd…
@Hmmm (Comment 18) : well, good.
Any other suggestions, just let me have em 🙂
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 19) :
Will do Robd…
Does anyone agree with me on JFourie or was I watching with red and white glasses on top of my white and red contacts!??!
Oh well…
Nobody cares about the LIONS thread and for the life of me I cannot understand why!??!
😆
#8 Don’t forget that Habana started out as a Lion…
@walter van transvaal.co.za (Comment 24) : He did and he was SUPERB as a Lion. How you ever let that one go…?
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 25) :
Yip…and to think he was an average scrummy when he started…
Turned superb midfielder (LIONS’ doing) turned one of the best wings of our time (White’s doing)…
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 25) :
Money!…..life has never been the same at the Lions since losing King Louis….
#25 I think he is a cheque book player, follows the money. I don’t really like him that much, I had a few choice words from the sideline directed towards him when that USA wing made his name *&^%$ in the World Cup, and I’m sure he heard me!
@walter van transvaal.co.za (Comment 28) : Ooops 😉
@walter van transvaal.co.za (Comment 28) : I like him just fine – when he ain’t wearing blue 😉
I wanted him to hear me…was shouting at the top of my voice with all the frenchies around me wondering what the &*^%
He is a major showponey, and I don’t mean it in a good way
@Hmmm (Comment 22) :
The Lions are my No. 2 team. Think they had an awesome game last week – was really irritated to see the stadium so empty? Where are all the fans?
@Nessa (Comment 33) : somewhere safer … 🙁
#33 It was probably the smallest Super rugby crowd ever at EPS, they didn’t even bother to tell the media how many (few) people there were.
Ha ha Rob – seriously though, I don’t find Ellis Park all that bad since you can park in the fenced off area next door at the Athletics stadium.
@walter van transvaal.co.za (Comment 35) :
Walter – I was actually disappointed that we didn’t go. Am debating about whether we should go and watch this weekend. Think it will also be one worth watching.
Someone on a different site made a classic comment last week, saying something about Ellis Park being in the center of MORDOR.
#35 It will be a big crowd though, our biggest of the season, as all the “visvoete” will be there. It’s going to be a home crowd for the visitors….
@Hmmm (Comment 15) :
No you are making sense!!!!!!!!!!
Fourie is going to be one of the most damaging players this weekend. If he doesn’t make Bok 13 then there is something wrong somewhere.
I don’t care that i am making this assumption after just one game back. He was EXCELLENT on Saturday.
@Slayton Caville (Comment 38) : That sounds like the sort of thing Fish would come up with.
@Slayton Caville (Comment 38) :
Was just going to say that must have been Fish! 😉
Sounds like EPS is valued at around R600m. That’s why we are unlikely to move to another stadium, that’s what it will cost (or more) to build a similar stadium somewhere else.
@walter van transvaal.co.za (Comment 28) :
Why don’t you just use the reply button….LoL
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 34) :
Why is your reply in bold black and mine is this crappy colour…
How bout everyone log their team they support (compulsory) on their profile and you align the colour to that!??!
@Hmmm (Comment 45) :
Good idea – as long as ours is black and not white. 😉
@Nessa (Comment 33) :
They are busy errecting parkades with safe walkway to the stadium…was advised by Ellis park that this will be complete at teh end of this year (so will be ready for next years S14)
@Nessa (Comment 46) :
Mine will be RED RED RED….LoL
@KSA Shark © (Comment 40) :
I was really concerned about the 13 jumper for SA….but after Saturday I was no more…
We still have a world class 13…and he made the difference in the LIONS backline who could not score a try in practice sessions…
@Hmmm (Comment 47) :
That would be great – I must say though we normally go to Ellis Park in a bus and just leave our cars at the club and that works well for us.
guys – if you are still posting blue links, you need to refresh your browser cache.
Hit shift-F5 on the page… from then, the links you post should be in black.
@Hmmm (Comment 45) : I am also looking at a way to indicate which team everybody supports on their avatar.
personally I prefered the Blue link
🙄
Why cant they be blue?

@KSA Shark © (Comment 52) : I’m gonna f&king kill you today! 😉
@VinChainSaw (Comment 53) : they were blue but some nitpicky old fart living in a desert somewhere didn’t like them that way and insisted they should be black!
I suggested the Blue was too much and then Rob had to go through a whole big exercise to change it to something “I” liked. 🙄 😳 🙄
This is a Shark site!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not some Blou Koei site 👿
😳
Back on your camel KSA… 😉
Hey my Camel is a black one. 😉
Well I want mine red!?!?!?!?
@KSA Shark © (Comment 60) :

@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 51) : On behalf of anybody not using that piece of crap called Internet Explorer, thanks for nothing. 🙂 PS: Firefox users can clear their browser cache on the “Network” tab of the “Preferences” menu.
@Hmmm (Comment 61) : No worries, for different colours just modify the font color value when you reply. It’s a hexadecimal value, so here are some approximations:
Sharks (Black) : #000000
Lions (Red) : #FF1F1F
Stormers (Deep Blue) : #023D6B
Cheetahs (Orange) : #DA6C1C
Bulls (Poo) : #4F3211
@VinChainSaw (Comment 62) :

And you won’t believe it, but it shows how weird the world is.
camels come in four basic colours White, Cream (most abundant), Brown and Black and very fitting for the OLD SA the Whilte ones are more expensive. 🙂

@Waz (Comment 72) : Hmm, my comment was in the wrong colour there…
@Salmonoid (Comment 71) : An avatar is the little pic you have on the right hand side of your posts.
The Avatar, on the other hand, was your incarnation in the Ultima series. He ventured forth and conquered evil across Brittania, and man I miss those days. 🙂
@Waz (Comment 63) :

KSA – that “Hmmm” looks more orange than red?
Ice – blue is also full of bull. 😉

@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 125) :
Mine gives that….and then I replace #000000 with #FF1F1F in the space…but nothing happens…

Sorry for opening this can of worms guys. It seems like the way the site understands HTML code is possibly limited in some way (a good thing). I’ll try a few more things to get coloured text working properly, but I don’t want to clutter up Rob’s blog. 😎
what now do we have to do?
right – some very interesting behaviour.
For some of you, it seems that the FONT tag is being stripped out of your comments

What you trying to say!??!
You better than us?
I’m using Firefox 2.0.0.14 on the Mac. Also tried using Safari 3.04, to no avail.
Basically, I was under the impression that we should be able to use certain HTML tags in our comments, since the button-push for replying simply enters the appropriate code. For some reason, even though that code is changed by some users, the original colour (blue) persists. Not sure why, but then I’m not sure how this site implements HTML tags in its comments.
test
I have one more possible thing to try… maybe only editors are allowed to post HTML in comments… that might explain why it works for KSA, Clayton and me, but not for you other folks…
Rob, can you email me the code in your comment box when you reply? Just want to see if it’s the same code generated when I push it.

@Hmmm (Comment 237) :
Now how the heck did that come out yellow!??!
I only know one colour!??!
@Hmmm (Comment 239) : this one perhaps?
ok guys… the idea was that they should all be black. Allowing you to edit the colour yourself was an unintended side effect.
@Le Requinny (Comment 240) :
Ha-Ha…I added an extra 1 at the end…LoL
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 241) :
Ahhh rubbish…just admit you have a fun side to you….
you guys are turning my beautiful blog into a flipping fruit salad!
SULK!
@Hmmm (Comment 242) :
@Le Requinny (Comment 238) :
Quins…you look your best in red…
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 244) : but it’s SO PRETTY!
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 244) :
Making you feel at home…
@Hmmm (Comment 243) : Blerrie moegoe!
@Hmmm (Comment 246) : black is always a classic though…
@Hmmm (Comment 248) : but you keep putting in invalid colours, so yours always come out blue!
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 249) : So what programming stuff are you going to teach us tomorrow 😉 ❓
@Le Requinny (Comment 245) :
I look sooo off colour there…
@Le Requinny (Comment 245) :
I look sooo off colour there…
@Hmmm (Comment 254) : let’s tan you up!
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 251) :
Nope if you put in wrong code it comes out black…
remember I don’t know codes…I only know how to do red and yellow…
@Hmmm (Comment 256) : put in #696969, think you mihght like it 😉
@Le Requinny (Comment 255) :
No I look better tanned…
@Le Requinny (Comment 257) :
Let see….
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 244) :
😆 Fruit salad ❓ next thing you know they might think it is a WP site 😉
@KSA Shark © (Comment 260) : some of them already do… you read any of Vinnie’s comments? 😉
@Hmmm (Comment 259) : #FF00FF?
@Le Requinny (Comment 262) :
Lert see…
@Le Requinny (Comment 262) : clever 😉
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 264) : don’t worry Rob, the novelty will wear off soon… 😉
@Hmmm (Comment 263) : try #FFDEAD?
@Le Requinny (Comment 265) :
You sure!??!
@Hmmm (Comment 267) : hehehe
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 261) : 😀 😀 😆
He’s just bitter coz we oppose Spur Burger playing for them 😉
@Le Requinny (Comment 268) : try FF then the year you were born
#269
flippen hell!!!!!!!!!!! Is that Nipple pink? 😯
@Le Requinny (Comment 262) :
Quins you are revealing all your true colours through me….LoL
@Hmmm (Comment 272) : year I was born
@KSA Shark © (Comment 269) : lol, Vinnie would be the first one sticking the knife in had Ollie-bollie signed for a team like, say, the Bulls…
@Le Requinny (Comment 270) : 1969
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 273) : eh?
@Le Requinny (Comment 274) :
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!
@Le Requinny (Comment 270) :
You are a bright pink…LoL…
@Le Requinny (Comment 276) : mmm, we were all born in a “pink” era then. Strange that it applies to oubaas too…
@Hmmm (Comment 278) : 1978…
Seems we all are coming out the smae colour with that format…
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 273) :
And that is!???!
LoL
@Hmmm (Comment 278) : you’re not much lighter, boet!
Just put in the number without the FF….
@Hmmm (Comment 280) : lol, ok try 19 then your birth year…
@Hmmm (Comment 280) : or slight variations thereof.
I’ll leave it up to you guys to figure out why 😉
@Le Requinny (Comment 284) : 1978
@Hmmm (Comment 281) : 1977
@Hmmm (Comment 286) :
Ah jinne…I come out a Stormer…
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 285) : ja, smart alex, the FF’s have red, the values with ‘00000 suffixes are darker – that’s why 000000 is pitch black.
What was the topic of this thread again!??!
@Hmmm (Comment 290) :
The thread has a better look with every comment staring with the reference…
@Hmmm (Comment 291) : are you talking to yourself
@Le Requinny (Comment 289) :
Not really…000000 was the light blue before Robd played around with the site and made it a fruit salad…
@Hmmm (Comment 293) : no, it was the black he was trying to default too.
Go FFDUDE yourself.
@Le Requinny (Comment 292) :
Only for better response…and full agreement…of the comments…makes the boat float…
Im hungry
@Le Requinny (Comment 294) : dude
@Slayton Caville (Comment 296) : Bite me
@Slayton Caville (Comment 296) :
For a fruit salad?
how cool is that, 007007 gives a british racing green. Now all that’s missing is the Jaguar…
@Le Requinny (Comment 298) :
Ha-Ha…jinne
He might just so you must be careful with what you say…LoL
@Hmmm (Comment 301) : sigh, this thread is as out of control as that Keo Bulls thread a couple of years back…
Strange how the threads with the least rugby comments always tend to be the most commented…LoL
@Hmmm (Comment 301) : test
@Le Requinny (Comment 304) : another test
@Le Requinny (Comment 305) : final test
@Le Requinny (Comment 302) :
Cannot be a couple of years back…I only been posting since December 2006…
@Hmmm (Comment 307) :
Or that could be a few months before that though…but then that would have been occasionally…
erm…
S140508 gives me either Stormer Blue or Auckland Blues blue
CC2008 gives me rooi
So is that a sign that:
Stormers/Blues will win S14, &
Lions will win Currie Cup? 😯
@Hmmm (Comment 307) : Ok then well last year!
S142008 also gives a blue
@Le Requinny (Comment 309) : testing integrity of prediction…
@Le Requinny (Comment 309) :
For sure!!
@Le Requinny (Comment 310) :
Ok then….
@Hmmm (Comment 312) : CC2008
@Hmmm (Comment 313) : FF1F1F
Which one is more a the rooi of LIONS….
@Le Requinny (Comment 289) : ok… so a colour is divided into three hexademical numbers… the first part is for Red, the second Green, the third Blue.
so the difference between FF1978, FF1977 and even FF1932 (for oubaas) is really minimal… all you are doing is making relatively small changes to the amount of blue present. They will all be very similar shades of shocking pink.
@Le Requinny (Comment 311) : Quinny – anything you enter that is not a valid colour will default to light blue, since that is the default link colour
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 316) : nope to black
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 315) : how very educational!
@Le Requinny (Comment 318) : that was OUBAAS in hexademical code 😉
@Le Requinny (Comment 319) :
the OUBAAS code is actually quite apt, cause arn’t Pinetown’s club rugby colours green?
@Hmmm (Comment 317) : correct!
@Hmmm (Comment 317) : bet you you’re wrong 😉
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 322) : what was te bet cozz I won…
@Hmmm (Comment 323) : no you didn’t.
If you type in bullshit instead of a valid colour, your link will show up in blue, not black.
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 324) : no black, ne?
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 324) :
I’d hate to actually be stumbling onto this thread right now, & trying to decipher all the shenanigans of earlier…
@Le Requinny (Comment 325) : DEBDEB is actually a valid colour, as you have just discovered.
It’s HEXADECIMAL, so any of the characters 0123456789ABCDEF are valid 😉
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 327) :
lol, can you see what I try?
Man, I’m getting a headache from all this silliness.
@Le Requinny (Comment 328) : Eish Quinny. Go home! I am now stopping for the day.
Go Sharks!
@robdylan (Sharks Forever!) (Comment 329) :
Ja, I’m throwing in the towel now. Later.
😀 Well did you succeed in breaking the record for the number of blogs ❗ ❓ ❗ 😉
😳 “comments” 😀
