In the absence of any news (and I do meany any at all), I thought I’d share a link to Steve Haag’s pictures from yesterday’s training session.
You can see the images here, but again, no unauthorised use, please.
Jeremy Ward and Ruan Botha both celebrated their birthdays yesterday and it’s good to see that the young Ward, at least, has been rewarded (no pun intended) for his attitude, by wearing one of two polka-dot jerseys. The other one went to Inny Radebe. Also very reassuring is seeing Pat Lambie in the yellow MVP jersey, one which we hope he continues to wear for the entire campaign! Also in yellow were youngsters Benhard Janse van Rensburg (who looks so young that one wonders whether he shouldn’t rather be playing Craven Week) and Marius Louw.
There will be some media opportunities later today, so hopefully fresh news is not too far off.

What is the meaning of the different jerseys? I cannot remember 😳
@bokbok (Comment 1) : it was like this:
Yellow MVP
Green highest work rate
Pink most tackles
polka dot best attitude.
@robdylan (Comment 2) : Why are they still wearing BLK kit, did the same turkey in charge of kit who lost the jerseys last year misplace the new kit as well
P.S happy new yearend yes I renewed my season tickets 😳
@The hound (Comment 3) : You naughty boy, shame on you
@The hound (Comment 3) : Good on you Hound. Having been a Natal Rugby supporter almost as long as you, I understand your frustrations, but felt you couldn’t ultimately end something you have done for so long (purchase season tickets). Enjoy the season my friend.
Love the smile on Chilli’s face, looks like he is enjoying himself and ready for a big season. Good to see.
@The hound (Comment 3) : umm, it was SAA who lost the kit 🙂
@Dancing Bear (Comment 6) : It must be the first proper preseason he has had in years
Lambo looks like he bulked up a little. Looks more solid.
@The hound (Comment 3) : no shame in that! Hope Sharks reward you for your loyalty but having a good season!
Looks as if the guys are putting in some hard work! Glad to see them smiling whilst doing it!
@coolfusion (Comment 9) : I also thought he looked a bit heavier than last year. Extra strength will help, should not affect his speed too much
@HeinF (Comment 12) : Lambie was already a solid 90-ish, which is plenty on that frame. Not sure how much more he can can really carry.
Ive quick scanned a few images so may have missed a full blown pin up quality of him but I dont see Keagan anywhere? Has anyone seen him in any of the photos?
@Salmonoid the Subtle (Comment 14) : Yeh seen him in a few photos.
@SheldonK (Comment 15) : 😎
That oke wearing glasses and black golf shirt (4th pic, I think) had better lose some weight, pronto, or face the Ungerer treatment from RdP….
@Culling Song (Comment 17) : He is sacrificing himself so there is no food left for the fatty forwards 😉
@Culling Song (Comment 17) : @SheldonK (Comment 18) : well at least he looks happy so don’t think it bothers him to much! ;-
@The hound (Comment 3) : 😀 Eeexcellent…
Looking good…good luck for the season, men!
@Culling Song (Comment 17) : he’s the forwards coach…. still some way to go before he reaches Proudfoot-esque proportions
@robdylan (Comment 22) : provincial coaches do look to the national coaches for inspiration 😉
