I can likes to be tough, coach, but I can’t scrum a car!

I think its funny! 🙂 Comment 1, posted at 24.02.12 08:00:44 by Letgo

this reminds me very little of the time I played sevens for Pretoria Harlequins against YSKOR-Teknikon. Was scrumming against some poor little inbred sod with a flat top… one of those little wirey okes that you just know has got a screwdriver in his ruby sock. Anyway, we were killing these okes in the scrum; they clearly weren’t expecting us to actually push, given that it was sevens. The oke eventually says to me “net omdat ons van YSKOR afkom beteken nie dat ons van staal gemaak is!” or something equally stupid. I replied “Tough – ons is!” and proceeded to hand out the pain all over again 🙂 I really am MUCH nicer these days… Comment 2, posted at 24.02.12 08:00:52 by robdylan

@Letgo (Comment 1) : thank you Letgo 🙂 I’m glad I’m not totally alone on this one. Lucky they’ll have a pair of real “busses” in Jandre and Piet-Steph behind them as well. Comment 3, posted at 24.02.12 08:01:48 by robdylan

@KILLER SHARK (Comment 4) : We can play in very wet weather i guess the Sharks cme from water so it should be an easy game Bulls on the other hand live on dry land and can’t swim. (Sharks can swim in wet and dry weather) GO SHARKS GO Comment 6, posted at 24.02.12 08:09:05 by chaz

Not sure if I am laughing at the wordplay or the fact that you felt it justified a post, but anyway – :lol . Comment 7, posted at 24.02.12 08:11:08 by Big Fish

@chaz (Comment 6) : 😈 I would prefer to see a flowing running game from the Sharks rather than fighting for yards in the wet. 😉 😈 Comment 8, posted at 24.02.12 08:13:51 by KILLER SHARK

@Big Fish (Comment 15) : So let me get this straight.. I can’t use the swearword d&*@&man, am I at least allowed to say someone has Dutch courage? Or is that also a no no? Comment 16, posted at 24.02.12 08:31:40 by Richard Ferguson

@Richard Ferguson (Comment 16) : Dutchman is a valid description – we have had some great artists who were Dutchmen; for example, van Gogh, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Nataniël and Meisiekind. Dutch apple, Dutch courage and double Dutch are also happy words and may be used, under license. Comment 18, posted at 24.02.12 08:37:24 by Big Fish

@Big Fish (Comment 18) : Ah, but certain of our Afrikaans-speaking-bloggers do not like it when you use the D-man description, as it is a slap in their Afrikaans-speaking-face. Did you not get the memo? Comment 19, posted at 24.02.12 08:40:04 by Richard Ferguson

@Richard Ferguson (Comment 32) : Dude as I’ve always maintained being Afrikaans doesn’t make one a Dutchman. One’s mentality does. 😳 Comment 37, posted at 24.02.12 12:27:01 by KSA Shark ©

I don’t care what ethnicity you are jokes about race and religion should be left alone, no grey areas . It shouldn’t matter if you are an Afrikaans person and you insult your own heritage, it still incites negative and racial confrontation. Comment 38, posted at 24.02.12 12:29:29 by Talent

@KSA Shark © (Comment 37) : Agreed.. And mentality is quite clear here.. Comment 39, posted at 24.02.12 12:29:53 by Richard Ferguson

@bergshark (Comment 41) : And why would that be? Comment 43, posted at 24.02.12 12:37:49 by Richard Ferguson

The thing is I grew up in Durban and went to school in Kroonstad both places that gave me a sense of what tolerance is and also a sense of not having to take everything I hear as a personal insult. I think that is why I was an above average referee because I realised that not everything that I saw on the field was considered a personal affront against me personally. Lots of people and a few referees out there will do good to take heed of that. Comment 44, posted at 24.02.12 12:47:55 by KSA Shark ©

@bergshark (Comment 47) : Can you do me a massive favour… grow up.. We are all adults here. If YOU feel offended, then leave. You are clearly in the minority here, so if you feel in any way that you are being discriminated against or that Afrikaans jokes go against what you believe in. Leave.. If it is THAT bad here for you, why do you keep coming back? Comment 48, posted at 24.02.12 13:09:11 by Richard Ferguson

@Richard Ferguson (Comment 48) : Had my say.. cheers Comment 49, posted at 24.02.12 13:10:19 by Richard Ferguson

@bergshark (Comment 47) : Has anyone on here called YOU a Dutchman? We do not need to take everything that is said as a personal attack. Comment 50, posted at 24.02.12 13:27:49 by KSA Shark ©
