@Leeubok (Comment 1) : I don’t know half of these players – and when it comes to the Lions, that just makes me even more nervous 🙂 Comment 2, posted at 28.07.15 11:35:06 by robdylan

strong squad…. 😯 Comment 3, posted at 28.07.15 11:35:25 by Kabouter

I like this Harold Vorster guy. Very good squad. Comment 4, posted at 28.07.15 11:40:48 by Bite me

@robdylan (Comment 2) : Where is Derick Minnie? Comment 5, posted at 28.07.15 11:42:30 by ChrisS

@robdylan (Comment 2) : I’m already afraid of the name I do recognise 😀 Comment 6, posted at 28.07.15 11:45:40 by vanmartin

@ChrisS (Comment 5) : injured . out for the season Comment 7, posted at 28.07.15 11:48:13 by Zibbie

A large number of these guys played super rugby this season. The only players we’ve lost between super rugby and currie cup are jantjies (japan), Tecklenburg (japan), hond (France), and then the 4 boks who probably won’t make the WC squad. So the Lions should go into the CC with a very settled team Comment 8, posted at 28.07.15 13:10:43 by Leeubok

I think it’s safe to say the Lions are favourites to win the Currie Cup 😈 Comment 9, posted at 28.07.15 13:16:18 by vanmartin

@ChrisS (Comment 5) : Noooooo!!! 🙁 What happened??? Comment 10, posted at 28.07.15 13:19:38 by ChrisS

@vanmartin (Comment 9) : Definitely!! Classy players and a coach who gives them the freedom to have fun and express themselves. Comment 11, posted at 28.07.15 13:20:28 by ChrisS

Hopefully this game will be a cracker with the Lions bringing down such a strong squad. Will be great to have live rugby in PMB again. Anyone else going? Comment 12, posted at 28.07.15 13:35:37 by jonnow

@vanmartin (Comment 9) : nonono . the sharks clearly are 😉 Comment 13, posted at 28.07.15 13:40:41 by Zibbie

Interesting to see how they combine these guys, def a lot of good players. Comment 14, posted at 28.07.15 13:45:59 by SheldonK

@Zibbie (Comment 13) : My jinxing is not to be trifled with. I’ve backed Meyer since the start of his Bok coach job 😀 Comment 15, posted at 28.07.15 13:46:00 by vanmartin

Maybe this will help (SR players in bold): (The Lions players in the Bok squad to be added for the Currie Cup as well as some of the u21s when their season is over) Justin Ackerman (23) – Prop Fabian Booysen (23) – Loosie Marnitz Boshoff (26) – Flyhalf Ruan Combrinck (25) – Wing Ross Cronje (26) – Scrumhalf Stephan de Wit (23) – Loosie Ruan Dreyer (24) – Prop Lourens Erasmus (22) – Lock Stokkies Hanekom (26) – Centre Alwyn Hollenbach (30) – Centre Lohan Jacobs (24) – Scrumhalf Jaco Kriel (25) (c) – Loosie Ruaan Lerm (23) – Loosie MB Lusaseni (26) – Lock Malcolm Marx (21) – Hooker Sampie Mastriet (24) – Wing Howard Mnisi (26) – Centre Martin Muller (27) – Lock Jacques Nel (22) – Centre Mark Pretorius (23) – Hooker Julian Redelinghuys (25) – Prop Ricky Schroeder (24) – Scrumhalf Courtnall Skosan (24) – Wing Kwagga Smith (22) – Loosie Jaco van der Walt (21) – Flyhalf Jacques van Rooyen (28) – Prop Anthony Volmink (25) – Wing Harold Vorster (21) – Centre Vainon Willis (26) – Wing The following players are currently injured and are therefore unavailable for selection: · Robbie Coetzee (26) (hamstring – 2 weeks) · Andries Coetzee (25) (foot – 8 weeks) · Derick Minnie (28) (knee – out for the season) Comment 16, posted at 28.07.15 14:10:44 by Baylion

Strong and probably more settled Comment 17, posted at 28.07.15 14:18:56 by coolfusion

@Baylion (Comment 16) : Probably lacking an out and out fullback unless Combrinck or Boshoff play there. Also interesting who will be reserve scrummy and hooker. Comment 18, posted at 28.07.15 14:22:45 by SheldonK

@vanmartin (Comment 15) : haha . yea who ever i support loose . you can see that with the boks 2/6 Comment 19, posted at 28.07.15 14:23:39 by Zibbie

@vanmartin (Comment 15) : Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility. In lieu of that, I expect you, with immediate effect, to endorse the Bulls, England and Australia (all sporting codes), Man United, Beyonce, Dan Brown, SA Breweries and Spur Steak Ranches. I know I can depend on you to do the right thing. Comment 20, posted at 28.07.15 14:27:32 by Culling Song

@Culling Song (Comment 20) : if the ashes gets played a black hole will form 😆 Comment 21, posted at 28.07.15 14:30:16 by Zibbie

@Culling Song (Comment 20) : I thought about taking up an interest in Protea cricket again the other day and then Bangladesh happened… @Zibbie (Comment 21) : That’s such an apt description for the competition anyway 😀 Comment 25, posted at 28.07.15 15:40:45 by vanmartin

@jonnow (Comment 12) : Got my tickets today, will def be there. Comment 26, posted at 28.07.15 15:41:44 by Uli Boelie

Should be a cracker of a game with the young guys out to impress, the only problem will be a bit of rustiness and lack of cohesion, but still a good run-out, seriously tempted to make the trip from Durbs. Comment 27, posted at 28.07.15 16:21:49 by stevovo

@FireTheLooser (Comment 24) : Properly tired…? Um, I suppose you could say that, although I’m more inclined to use the kind of language Rob would use when discussing PSDT… Comment 28, posted at 28.07.15 16:37:06 by Culling Song

@Culling Song (Comment 28) : Spur has that parents with young children market so well cornered. Whoever dreamt up the idea of combining colouring books, jungle gyms, Playstations and build-your-own-waffles with a family restaurant must be enjoying a lifetime supply of Nachos and pink sauce at the moment. We are lucky though as we have choices. We can decide between the few hundred branches of Spur in Centurion and Pretoria. I pity the parents whose only choice is the Spur in Pofadder with that one waiter that has the crazy eyes. Comment 29, posted at 28.07.15 16:50:20 by vanmartin

@vanmartin (Comment 29) : Thankfully we have RJ’s….quality food, quality service and close enough experience to spur for kids. Comment 30, posted at 28.07.15 20:14:30 by FireTheLooser

@vanmartin (Comment 29) : @FireTheLooser (Comment 30) : thankfully my kids are old enough to skip the jungle gyms, colouring books etc. but living in Middle Earth we’re not allowed to pass a McDonald’s without stopping. Comment 31, posted at 28.07.15 22:46:29 by JD

@vanmartin (Comment 25) : o what fun that was NOT to watch!!!! Think maybe they should get rid of a couple of egos!!!!!! Comment 32, posted at 28.07.15 22:48:25 by JD

@Culling Song (Comment 20) : hey leave Man U out of it!!! Comment 33, posted at 29.07.15 00:46:03 by JD

@Uli Boelie (Comment 26) : Hey Uli, got my tickets today as well, by the sounds of it ticket sales are going well, so will hopefully be a nice big crowd to support our boys. Comment 34, posted at 29.07.15 17:49:44 by jonnow

@jonnow (Comment 34) : you guys should organise a li’l Sharksworld meetup Comment 35, posted at 29.07.15 19:13:23 by robdylan

@jonnow (Comment 12) : I’ll be there with my sons… Comment 36, posted at 29.07.15 22:04:07 by pastorshark

@Culling Song (Comment 20) : 😆 Comment 38, posted at 29.07.15 22:06:08 by pastorshark

@Culling Song (Comment 20) : I can agree with your list wholeheartedly!! Comment 39, posted at 29.07.15 22:06:51 by pastorshark

@vanmartin (Comment 29) : Thank goodness my boys prefer sushi!!!! Comment 41, posted at 29.07.15 22:10:05 by pastorshark

@pastorshark (Comment 41) : I hear if you deep fry sushi it tastes just like fish, you think it’s true? Comment 42, posted at 29.07.15 23:32:47 by JD

@pastorshark (Comment 39) : That’s dangerous! Having any opinion of mine endorsed by the clergy is likely to make me even more egoistic and self-centred (if that is even possible)! Comment 43, posted at 30.07.15 04:48:15 by Culling Song

@JD (Comment 42): 😆 Comment 44, posted at 30.07.15 04:48:58 by Culling Song

@robdylan (Comment 35) : Good idea Rob. I’ll be there with my son, aka Woody on SharksWorld. Any SharksWorlders keen for a beer after the game, give me a call on oh eight two 805 7002. Comment 45, posted at 30.07.15 08:38:18 by jonnow
