What I always meant – (made into a song)

Skies blast open for Bok Rugby

Article compliments: New Zealand Herald

The All Blacks need to improve by 25 per cent over last year if they are to win the rugby World Cup , coach Graham Henry says.

New Zealand’s failure to put a team in the final of the Super 14 championship over the weekend was a good reality check, Henry was quoted saying after he heard news of the Bulls result.

“It keeps people’s feet on the ground and stops any complacency, so it’s probably a good thing for the All Blacks,” he said.

South Africa have two teams in the final for the first time since Super rugby began in 1996 after the Sharks beat the Blues 34-18 and the Crusaders were humbled 12-27 by the Bulls yesterday.

Henry sidestepped saying whether those results gave South Africa (one of the All Blacks’ strongest World Cup rivals) a big psychological advantage going into the tournament, which starts in September.

“They have improved considerably, Super 14 teams are the measuring stick on the international sides and we expected that,” Henry said.

“We have been saying that for some time now.

“It is a reality check for New Zealand rugby people that these things are never automatic, the World Cup is never automatic, we haven’t won it for a long time, 20 years I guess.”

Henry confirmed he would field his strongest side for the upcoming test matches against France and Canada and expected the same from South Africa and Australia in the Tri-Nations.

“For sure, everyone will be putting out their strongest teams, it’s a shakedown for the rugby World Cup.

”(The Tri-Nations) will be major test matches, they are major test matches every year, so things haven’t changed, really.”

He also reiterated the thinking behind the All Blacks conditioning programme which took 22 elite players out of the Super 14 for at least seven weeks.

That was felt in some quarters as contributing to the failure of New Zealand teams as the returning players failed to re-integrate effectively and were short of match-play.

“I don’t know that there’s been a lot of comments, there’s been comments occasionally about those sort of things but the conditioning window’s there for the World Cup,” Henry said.

“We are hoping guys will peak in August-September. They are not expected to peak in May so that was the reason for the conditioning window so that these guys haven’t played 30-odd games during that calendar year and if they had done that, they would have fallen over.

“So hopefully, they will peak at the right time of the year, which is obviously September-October.”

Henry said World Cup preparations were on track but ” if we don’t keep on improving, other teams will pass us and that’s what they are trying to do.

“One of the examples are South Africa but there are others, the French, Irish, Australians and so on.

“You can never rest on your laurels, and so our objective is to keep on improving and we hope to do that through the test matches and Tri-Nations and on to the World Cup.

“We need to improve 20-25 per cent if we are going to be World Cup champions at the end of the year so there’s a lot of work to be done but at the moment we can’t do any more than we are doing.”

Some of the criticisms raised about his programme were because it had been ” a problem with New Zealand fans for years they don’t think anybody else can play (but) of course they can. That’s why we haven’t won (the World Cup!) for 20 years.

Wildman, Wiseman or Madman?

Rumours as to the whereabouts of Cape Town’s craziest, wildest and most single businessman “Johnny Wildman” have been confirmed. His latest creation at The Mill which was almost busier than Newlands Rugby Stadium on Saturday has confirmed that Caveau in the burbs is here to stay!!
If its sporting results you are after, look no further… this man has now correctly predicted the following sporting events:

  • Cricket World Cup 2007
  • Masters golf 2007
  • Semi finalists for this years Super 14 (5 weeks ago!)

and apparently..

  • Wildman knows who will win the Nadoes Ryder Cup
  • Who will win the Super 14 this year
  • Who will win the World Cup 20/20 to be played in September

AMAZING – begging the obvious question, shall we change his name now to…. The Wiseman??

Joey back in town

After a lengthy layoff with sparring partner and cricketing sensation “KP” in the carribean Im back and ready for (yes) my 3rd action packed season of entertainment. Numerous requests have flooded my INBOX for another Dating Game and a few more Shmoke and a Pancake’s interviews but like I said to some elderly fellow in the line whilst shopping at Woolworths the other day, the timing just has to be right and the profile has to be one that supports the community – not to mention that he/she must be a popular enough figurehead. The success of the Fleckie Shmoke and a Pancake last season seemed to propell the man/demi-god back into the spotlight and yes it was only a few weeks back that Fleckie approached me in a bar and tried to coax me into another smidgen of “spotlight” so as to speak – Hang in there Fleckels, I’ll find you an angle. In other news looks like the Nadoes 2007 Ryder Cup is the big talking point in bars/sports clubs and locker rooms so I thought I’d give you an inside edge on the latest from ringside…

Smithy and the Boys

Was lucky to get this shot just sent in of the cricket boys en’route St Lucia airport..

tut tut tut

Disbelief has been followed up by a gentle notion of baffled calmness as the cricket world cup curtain closed last night. Lets all just get over it and look forward to the BULLE and HAAI’S doing us all proud as they both look set for semi final clashes!!

THE BATTLE OF THE SURFACES

This is no late April fools people!!

The Battle of the Surfaces will take place at the
Palma Arena in Majorca, a unique event in history. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, the two best tennis players in the world will meet on a tennis court that is half grass and half clay.

PALMA DE MALLORCA, April 13th. 2007.The Battle of the Surfaces is a
unique event that has never taken place before in the history of tennis. Its
protagonists will be the two best players in the world: Roger Federer, from Switzerland and Rafael Nadal, from Spain. The match will be played on May 2nd at the Palma Arena in Palma de Malloca, a venue recently inaugurated, and which will have the peculiarity of having half the court of clay and half grass.

We are referring to two authentic specialists. Federer is the King on grass courts and the last Wimbledon champion, where he has won consecutively between 2003 and 2006. Nadal is King on clay courts; champion during the last two seasons at Roland Garros. Thus, the two who govern the PTA circuit will come face to face playing on their preferred surfaces.

The characteristics of the match will be normal. That is, it will be played
to the best of three sets with the usual changes of side, in uneven games.
And it will enable us to discover a so far unanswered question: Who would
have won The Battle of Surfaces between the best Boris Becker or Pete
Sampras against the best Sergi Bruguera or Carlos Moyá? Impossible to know
because the time for the Battle of Surfaces has gone by. But now we are in
a position to reveal the mystery by measuring the forces of Federer and
Nadal, the kings of grass and clay.

The Battle of the Surfaces, much more than just a match.

Smithers – We’ve come this far

As the scars from the ‘99 World Cup fade away, one can only feel that victory on Wednesday against the Aussies will be the turning point for a nation that have dominated the game in both forms for the past 8 years. I was at the pub the other day and overheard an elderly English gentelman say in a very soft tone that he would pay money to watch AB De Villiers bat.. I tended to agree with the old boy and then made the point that we have so many match-winners in our team that can swing a game on it’s head. Smith, AB, Gibbs, Kemp, Boucher, Hall.. I personally can only forsee a positive result on Wednesday.. and will go one step further to say that we will win convincingly. This is our time.

Unbelievable Stuff!!!

Nadoes Ryder Cup beckons..

Can Welsh/Nelson fend off “The Guru” and “Jock MaC” once again??

With the Nadoes Ryder Cup only weeks away, rivalry matches are already becoming the talk of the town as some of last years harder fought duals are brought to the fore. None so much as the Nelson/Welsh showdown which saw these two golfing giants sweep side there younger oposition in last years deby game. Nicknamed The Pigeons (due to their ability to “dovetail” without fail on every hole and possiblly because of their colourfull matching atire) one wonders what it will take to knock these two season veterans off their comfortable perch_

The Wildman – Joey’s new winter sidekick

LATEST!!!

In a shock announcement, Joey has announced The Wildman to be his winter sidekick for the unforseeable future. The Wildman was not available for comment but we believe he has taken the news well and is up for the challenge of being put in such a high profile position. Many obvious candidates were not considered for the position.. how Wildman’s friends and family take the news is still to be unravelled.

Amstel Cans – A collectors item?

Amstel Lager off the shelves

Its was a rumour that was doing the rounds for sometime but now that we all know it’s an official one why not get your hands on a can of crisp Amstel and whack it in the Bar as a collectors item You will have to search far and wide though… I managed to find one at a popular sea side resort in the Eastern Cape only this last week – I nearly did a flick-flack (Sigh) Never again will you sip gently on the slow brewed green machine
that we all learned to love and admire – but such is life, Heineken now own the brand and yes competition is a good thing so lets keep sipping SAB’s other fine beverages on offer and oh gaaaaaaaaaash , the the occassional Joey Miller Lager for when good times become great. So long Amstel.. you will be missed.

Jacques not to blame

With tonights showdown on the cards many people have phoned me and raised the question.. were Big Bob still alive would he be rooting for the cricket boks to bring home the cup? Well Sri Lanka, together with the Aussies are the teams to look out for – we all know that, they have the big hitters up front, depth in batting, can understand Afrikaans and have an opening pair of bowlers which includes the formidible Chaminda Vaas (top wicket taker at the last world cup) AND the beady eyed match winner, Muli who will in my opinion have the deciding role to play come tonights all important dual. I’m sticking with my guns though and still maintain that we will make the semi’s – Just keep the faith people and lets back our boys!!

Word in from Johannes Burger:

Jeez Joey,

Firstly I have no idea who the oke in the photo is (looks like he is having
a whale of a time). It does look like a stock photograph from that Irish
Portuguese site I subscribe to and that is definately not the pink Flam (As
I like to call it). Joey what is the problem if me and my mates make our
annual pilgrimage to the kaap in my 1 tonner to let our heads down and just
generally show a bit of Joburg geees.

I met a bunch of guys from the nadoes community at the Pink Flam last
December. How do I know they were nadoes well they all wore some sort of
nadoes getup and had nicknames like flipper, goose and roger. Ag Joey we are
just different up north. It could have been the flippin brandy I am not sure
but I swear goose was coming onto me and after some story of a winning try
in the 2004 internal league champs I switched off. Joey they seemed like
good kids just a little wet behind the ears give them some guidance.

Shit Joey I must be off Mark Bachelor is hooting outside and looks pretty
angry, we are going for a ride in his new super boss opel with personalised
plates “BATCH”. You gotta love Joburg.

See you at the PF next December.

Me thinks me smell a rat!

Pakistan’s World Cup coach Bob Woolmer may have been strangled to death, two Jamaican newspapers reported on Thursday quoting unnamed police sources.

The Jamaica Gleaner said a “high-ranking police officer” had confirmed that fresh evidence has surfaced which suggested that Woolmer was strangled in his room at the Jamaica Pegasus hotel between Saturday night and Sunday morning.

According to the police officer, the 58-year-old Woolmer was found half naked in his room, partially wrapped in a towel, the newspaper said.

“A bone in the neck, near the glands, was broken, and this suggests that somebody might have put some pressure on it,” the officer told the newspaper.

Smith’s world Cup Diary – Compliments “Dan’s World”

Dan and I are like blood brothers. I called him “witty” in a bar the other night, he gave me a high five – made my night!

DAN’S WORLD
Graeme Smith’s World Cup diary

Exclusively smuggled out of the South African team camp in the small hours of the Caribbean morning, “prankster Dan” brings you extracts from national captain Graeme Smith’s tour diary…

Tuesday, 27 February: Last day in South Africa, and butterflies are mounting – even affected my round today at our farewell golf day (shot 107, which isn’t bad, but just not comfortable with my short game). And buzzing from our presidential send-off yesterday – President Mbeki had flown into South Africa specifically to bid us farewell, which was a lovely touch for a very busy man. Not much sleep ahead tonight, that’s for sure…

Wednesday, 28 February: We’re off! Rounded the guys up at the airport, all very excited. Slightly awkward moment though, when Boeta arrived in his blazer and with all his kit. Said he was just there in case anyone got injured, and that he had Johan in their bakkie outside in case we needed another extra. He cut a very forlorn figure as we left, sitting on his coffin with a tear running down his cheek. Who knows, maybe he’ll get a chance. Had a quick read of the note the President gave me to open on the plane: ‘Watch out for Jonah Lomu’. Not entirely sure he’s quite got a handle on cricket, to be honest.

Thursday, 1 March: Finally arrived in Trinidad after one very, very long flight. Sometimes I wonder why I stay on as captain… First Andrew caused a commotion, shouting and cheering uncontrollably; turns out he was watching the new Rocky, and screaming encouragement to Sylvester Stallone, to the dismay of the people sitting around him. Then Herschelle accidentally got locked in one of the toilets with two air hostesses, and Justin’s video camera. Jonty woke everyone up at some ridiculous hour (don’t ask me when – body clock is nowhere) to try and rustle up some partners for shuttle runs up and down the aisle (the man is impossible). And on top of that, I had to walk all the way back to economy from first class to check on Mickey from time to time. Thank God we’re finally here.

Friday, 2 March: Settled in to training at our hotel, which has a great buffet in the dining room. Forgot to mention that we saw the Zimbabwean team in transit yesterday at the airport – thought they all had two coffins, but turned out one was for cricket gear, and the other was a Zimbabwean wallet. They’d set up a little curio stand in the arrivals lounge to raise some extra funds for the tournament – picked up a lovely carved ivory hippo for my new house. Think I might call it Minki.

Saturday, 3 March: Looked good in the nets today, with bat and ball.
Cover drive going more to mid-on than mid-wicket, and my new mystery ball is taking shape nicely. Thinking of a sexy, catchy name for it, along the lines of ‘flipper’ or ‘zooter’; Jacques suggested “slow full toss”, Mark went with “steak and kidney”, and Ashwell suggested “air miles”. Bunch of comedians, this lot.

Sunday, 4 March: Everyone’s been calling Herschelle ‘MD’ after the President said he wanted Hersch to become Minister of Defence when he stopped playing cricket. Hersch suggested ‘MJ’ at breakfast, “as in Mary Jane”; Justin, Roger and Andre all started giggling. Inside joke, I guess.

Monday, 5 March: First game, and a bit of a shocker. All out for 192, with only Andrew saving us at the death, thank goodness, and then Charl got some late wickets to make sure we beat the Irish, who were actually rather good. Their star player is a guy called Andre Botha, who sounded suspiciously South African, to be honest, but apparently Botha is a popular name in the villages of southern Cork, and Gaelic is almost identical to Afrikaans. Herchelle is a mine of useful information – guess that Bishops education really does pay off in the end.

Tuesday, 6 March: Back in the nets after the Ireland game, just a week to go before the tournament proper gets underway. Highlight of the day was a really sweet letter from a guy called Dwayne Leverock, who plays cricket in Bermuda (near Ghana, I think). He said that he’s always thought he couldn’t play cricket, but that seeing me on the field and watching me play had given him inspiration to get out and play the game, and that I’d proved it was possible for someone like him to be a cricketer. Had a lump in my throat reading it – it’s moments like that that remind me why being captain means so much.

TEAM Welsh/Nelson deny Elley/Wobby on 18th green!

In a weekend of many highs and far fewer lows, a massive derby golf game went down in the picturesque, University town of Stellenbosch, South Africa. The Venue: De Zalze Golf Club. There was no Eggie Cup up for grabs but Gav Welsh, a.k.a “Batch” and Piete Nelson fended off a brave challenge from the challenger combination of scratch golfer and residential property mogul Gareth Wobby and partner Jason “The Meerkat” Elley.. The result: 1 UP victory for the local lads. A rematch at Steenberg is on the cards, so too is the much awaited Nadoes Ryder Cup currently held by Elley’s USA Team. Will the Europeans make a game of it this year is the question on everyones lips..

Lions defy critics again

The Lions edged out another overseas opponent away from home, downing the Reds 26-20 in Brisbane on Saturday.

Andre Pretorius turned in a magnificent second half performance, sparking the Lions attack to earn the underrated side yet another victory which sees them ascend to second on the log.

Man of the Match: Ernst Joubert and Cobus Grobelaar were once again supremos in the loose, surely they will have to be considered ahead of some bigger names come the World Cup, but my Man of the Match was Andre Pretorius, who displayed a near flawless fly-half performance, adding some defensive venom to his repertoire. Well done boys!!

ZUMGENI OF THE WEEK: “Sam Norton-Knight”

But….

Apologetic Tuqiri gets three days

An apologetic Lote Tuqiri has been forgiven by his teammates for his extraordinary act of abuse of Sam Norton-Knight, but the Australian Rugby Union (ARU) is fast losing patience with the dual international.

It was reported in the Australian media that the ARU will offer Tuqiri a non-negotiable contract this week, with an ultimatum to sign within three days or have it withdrawn.

This follows just a day after Norton-Knight said he was “shocked” at being shoved and verbally abused by Tuqiri – following the blunder (by Norton-Knight) during the Waratahs’ 16-all draw against the Western Force on Fr8iday.

Norton-Knight earned the ire of Tuqiri after taking a quick tap in the dying seconds of the game on Friday night, denying Peter Hewat a penalty goal attempt which could have broken the deadlock.

While was in a forgiving mood afterwards, it is reported that the ARU is fast losing patience with being played off against NRL clubs for Tuqiri.

It’s a steal!

I was hovering around the V&A Waterfront last night with mate and life coach , Stubbie Malherbe when I decided to listen to some music at MUSICA ... I usually scratch around the bargain bin just at the entrance to see if there is any good “older stuff” on sale. . and there, before my very eyes at a staggering 80 bucks (marked down from R139) was the latest Robbie Williams album – Rudebox!! .. amazed, I called aside shop assistant “Loius” ... “is this marked down price of 80 Bucks correct boet??”, ... he nodded calmly. “Man alive… Gaaaaaaaad!!!” I exclaimed, ...”is it because he’s in re-hab .. is it because its a sh*t album??” Well he did’nt give me the answers so I just let it be and ended up pur-chasing the Best of OMD which was on sale for an ice-cool 33 bucks and my mate, Stubbie bought the latest Rod Stewart album – Tonight I’m yours . I bagged my latest buy and proceeded to exit the building .. definately one for the archives I thought as I waved goodbye to long haired Loius , my mate equally chuffed.

Should Loftus be allowed to play this emotional tune??

Oh Gaaaaaaaad “Die Boere” are coming!!!

After hearing all this talk about this De la Rey song and after watching Carte Blanche a few weeks back, I thought perhaps all you Engels Mense (who have probably never even heard about this until today) should way in on what you think. Basically the singer Bok van Blerk has performed a song glorifying the old Anglo Boer General De la Rey. Everyone has been making lots of noise about this. The song is said to stir WAYYY too much emotion… so much so that it was nearly banned from being played over the loudspeakers at Loftus a few weeks back. The Blue Bulls company, which manages Loftus Versfeld, told Rapport it did not want to create an “uncomfortable situation” for its non-white spectators.

Its acting head Barend van Graan said 43% of spectators were white.

Singer, Bok Van Blerk, whose real name is Louis Pepler, told Rapport he was sorry to hear about the ban as he did not believe the song was a sensitive issue… listen to the song and you see for yourself though..

Salad Fingers is a Flash cartoon series created by genius David Firth. The main character is a green man with a hunch on his back and his long, green fingers are sensitive to rough surfaces.

Take a watch, become addicted, this may be ur vibe!
