Centre Jean de Villiers has been called up to the Bok squad due to an ankle injury which has ruled Adi Jacobs out of the final test against Ireland.
De Villiers is the third European based player to be called up to join the Springbok squad and will no doubt add much needed experience to the Bok back line.
According to reports de Villiers will more than likely start at 12 ahead of Wynand Olivier who has been warming the bench in the previous tests against France and Italy.
The Bok squad has been delayed due to a long list of injuries which includes Kirchner, FDP, Bakkies, Bismarck, Schalk, Strauss and CJ.

This is good news!!
Jean will add some much needed ‘go forward ball’
I hope Adi’s ankle injury is not too serious!!

@Charlie (Comment 2) : According to ECR Adi is on his way back to SA I say good, let him rest and get back to form and prove a whole lot of naysayers wrong.
@Sharksmad β The Blogβs Dudette (Comment 3) : π₯ I have seen the reports π₯
Good news. π
Just read the Adi arti on Voldy. π―
By the sounds of it, every linebreak and try scored against the Boks in 2009 was Adi’s fault. π π
@Charlie (Comment 4) :
Blessing in disguise, Uncle Charlie!
@McLovin (Comment 6) :
And all of this to generate a measly 1000+ hits per thread!!
Ag shame, Meisiekind was so opgewonde when Adi had to withdraw.
@McLovin (Comment 6) :
Not to worry, both Adi and Charlie have broad shoulders. π to the Voldy people.
@McLovin (Comment 6) :
Exactly my point. Face truth – Adi has not delivered to his ablilty.Whatever the reason is – we know he is way better. And to stop having people abuse him like that, its best he comes back, rest, get injury free and gooi mielies!!
@Xmas Ice-Icle (Comment 11) : Gooi mielies is an interesting phrase. Heard it a few times in my life, but would be interesting to know where it comes from. π
@McLovin (Comment 12) :
Another cool Afrikaans saying is: ‘Maak jou naam gat’ lol
@McLovin (Comment 12) :
Try googling it on mieliestronk… π I actually dont know.
@wpw (Comment 13) :
Ja – you should know that one off by heart and due to experience!
π
@wpw (Comment 13) : That one I understand. π
I like the one that starts “Kyk noord….
Hey guys! Howecome we dont have a live chat function going on?
@Xmas Ice-Icle (Comment 14) : I can find plenty about mielies, but not much about gooing mielies. Will keep looking. π
@Miguel (Comment 17) : cos I’ve never thought about it, to be honest π
@robdylan (Comment 19) : I think that could be fun!!! Would speed up our chats and we could say a lot more!!
@Miguel (Comment 20) : kind of transient, though… you end up losing so much content that way
@robdylan (Comment 21) : Youre the boss π , think about it π

Follow me in merry measure,

Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Sing we joyous, all together,

Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Jingle bells Jingle bells

Shooby doo a A!
If your happy and you know it clap your hands… π

I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don’t care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true…
All I want for Christmas is
You… yea yea
Jam Blikke, Vis Blikke!
Drie by drie!
Ons is ons is

Ons is ons is
Kan julle raai?
Ons is ons is…
